Is Your Personal Information Safe Online?
Although the internet has certainly made our lives easier in many respects, it may also make it easier for thieves to steal our personal information if we’re not careful. And, even if we are careful about who has our information, thieves are hacking into the systems of thecompanies we rely on to gain access to information. What’s a person to do? This month, we answer that and more.
What’s in the Box?
Many people pay their bills, shop, share photos, communicate and more online. Although 
the internet has made these tasks much more convenient, it’s also made it easier for thievesto steal personal information. And, as we saw with the huge Equifax breach last year, even if you’re vigilant about who has your information, you may still become a victim. The U.S. and Canadian Marketing Flyers tackle the topic of cyber security and outlines tops to help people protect their information as well as the steps to take if you become a victim. This is a character piece intended to show you care, help your clients take a proactive approach to protecting their information online and empower them to take steps to resolve the issue if their information is stolen.
Speaking of technology, if you’re like most people, you likely rely on your smartphone to capture the memories you create everyday with your family and friends. In fact, most photos taken today are taken with a mobile device. Since smartphones make it so easy to take photos, more photos are taken today than have been taken ever before. The question is: what can we do with all those photos afterward? The Alternate Marketing Flyer outlines tips to help people organize their photos, including the hundreds you may have stored on your phone, and also provides information about several services that can turn your digital photos into lasting memories to display in your home or office. This is a character piece to show your clients you care.
