Introducing a Pet Care Service
April Thompson (
2021
)
As you requested, here is the report identifying viable pet care services that could be introduced at Pet Shop Co-op given restrictions the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed on local businesses. Due to recent financial and safety concerns, our members have been purchasing fewer products for their pets, resulting in a loss of sales for our store. By consulting relevant articles from trade journals such as Employee Benefit News and TCA Regional News, I have discovered several services that could boost our sales. In this report, I examine the feasibility of offering pet grooming, insurance, and food delivery services. After considering the needs and best interests of our members, I recommend pet grooming.
Memo: Information for Your “Data Security for Small Business” Presentation
Alexa McMillan (

As you requested, here is the information I gathered for your presentation for the Atlantic Canada Entrepreneurs’ Organization. The purpose of this report is to identify and discuss the main cyber security threats and their potential solutions for your “Lunch & Learn” presentation. You can use this information to prepare your slides for the presentation. This report is based on data-security trade journals and magazines, including KMWorld and Canadian Underwriter. Data security is very important to small businesses. I’ve identified the main threats to cyber security to be human error, technical vulnerabilities, and the theft of personal information. First, I’ll discuss the role of human error in data breaches and how to limit its effects. Next, I’ll describe the role of technical vulnerabilities in cyber security and how to minimize them. Then, I’ll explain how information is stolen and how to keep it safe. A summary of my findings concludes the report.
MEMORANDUM
Hayley Gavin (

)
As you requested, here is my report on private accommodation rental services, to help you decide whether such services would be satisfactory options for Quest Travel clients. The report is based on research from several sources, including The Wall Street Journal, the Toronto Star, and The Globe and Mail, with background information from the Airbnb website. I will first explain how private rental accommodation services work, then I will identify some associated pros and cons for guests, and finally, I will address the impact of such services on the tourism industry.
