Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Years. Easter….and all the holidays in between! With the holiday season vastly approaching, decorations are becoming an everyday sight. Are your fall decorations stuffed in the pits of your hall closet? Is the Christmas tree in a box never to be found again in the attic? Do you dread wasting hours untangling lights?
According to IBISWorld, Americans spent 13.34 billion dollars on holiday decorations and costumes alone in 2010. Can you envision how much that number has grown since then? Year after year we purchase more and more decorations in addition to the ones we already have. The countless ornaments and lights could take up a lot of space in your garage or attic and become quite pricey. But, what if there was a way to put the fun back in decorating AND save yourself from becoming another shopping statistic? What if you knew exactly where your favorite set of Christmas candles were?
Now you can with the Paper Tiger Filing System Software for document management. As the seasons and holidays change, so can your home, with just the click of a button. I bet you thought Paper Tiger was just for paper! Paper Tiger can file virtually any physical object. You can still win 1st prize in the Homeowner Association’s best-decorated home contest without buying new decorations each year. Paper Tiger allows you to give each set of holiday decorations a home of its own.
Imagine if you found all the decorations you’ve purchased for each holiday, each year in one place. Imagine no more! Not only will all the decorations be right where you left them next holiday season, but also the combination of all the decorations will allow you to be really innovative when decorating next year. Maybe take the stockings you’ve accumulated over the years and form a mixed pattern above the fireplace. No fireplace? Use decorative ribbon as a bed for glass ornaments in a fruit bowl as a centerpiece in the dining room for a jovial meal. Before you run rampant with all the new decorating ideas, let’s organize the decorations.
-First check every nook and cranny of your house for decorations. Take your flashlight in the attic with you. Make sure last year’s Christmas lights aren’t still hanging from the gutters. Gather the decorations so that you can begin to sort them.
-Then, sort the decorations by their various holidays. Santa and his reindeer, the Thanksgiving harvest table kit and pastel Easter eggs should all go in separate piles. If you don’t already have storage boxes or containers, grab a couple from your local retailer to organize your items.
Now allow us to add Paper Tiger to the equation. Choose both a physical location and a Paper Tiger location for your decorations. The decorations have trickled into four piles; Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter & Memorial Day. Paper Tiger will create labels with numbers for you to attach to each of these boxes. Set keywords in Paper Tiger to help you easily find decorations in the search engine like filing system. For example, we might not remember that we named the Thanksgiving bin “Fall Decorations” but if we put “Thanksgiving” or “turkey” in the search bar, Paper Tiger will automatically populate it based on these key terms.
With Paper Tiger Filing System Software for document management, the decorations are stored and the disarray that once consumed you is replaced with the joys of the holiday season. Paper Tiger will preserve the life of your decorations because they will always be stored away neatly. Money will be saved and the efforts of searching for decorations will be swapped with a few strokes on a keyboard. Never worry about holiday decorations scattered throughout the house again, but know and embrace what you have and build upon it with creative new twists.
