HelloFax's Paperless Faxing

If somebody were to sign up to Sellr today, create their own eCommerce website and get their business started, they might not think of a fax machine as an essential item. In some ways, fax machines are a relic; after all, they're mainly just used to send paperwork long distance and with the ability to send Word Documents via email, this has become a little redundant. But there are a few uses for fax machines; if you wanted to get a document with somebody's signature on it, it would be much easier for them to send that to you via fax. Also, many people have been using fax machines for years and have become comfortable with them, meaning they may not want to replace them; if you ever had to deal professionally with a business or person like that, then it would be good if you were able to send and receive faxes.

But do you really want to go out of your way to buy a fax machine just for that? Plus, think of all the paper that will doubtlessly be used up by it. If these are things that concern you, then you might be interested in a business called HelloFax. HelloFax offers a service which allows you to send and receive faxes without a fax machine. If somebody sends you a fax, you can have it go straight to your email address, your Google Drive, your DropBox or any other place you might want it to go. All files you receive will arrive as PDFs and you are also free to send out as many as you please. What's more is that if you have a fax machine already and think this sounds good, you can still keep your old fax number even if you do switch to HelloFax.

So I hope that this gives you something to think about. Of course, it won't be for everybody and some will be happy sticking with their fax machines, but I still think it's worth your consideration as it might be very useful to lots of you. But if you don't even have an eCommerce website yet, then sign up to Sellr now and create one for no cost at all!
