With cash flow consistently remaining the top concern for small businesses, it's nice to finally have some good news to talk about. 📰 The "One Big Beautiful Bill" allows eligible service workers to deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tips from their federal taxes till 2028. This means hard-working SMBs will be able to keep more of their well-deserved money in their pockets. However, reporting tips is now more crucial than ever, to avoid the risk of audits. Thankfully, vcita has its SMB users covered with our native Online Tip Collection feature. Clients can easily show appreciation, and with the records automatically updated, business owners can easily report it all.

AI handles the busy work, and owners save time and focus more on what they love. We’re proud to see DigitalOne already empowering thousands of businesses across Switzerland.

If you're going to be at America's Newspapers MEGA conference in Austin next week, come check out the team. Dawn T., Todd Handy, and Mark Cohen will be there discussing how publishers can go from "one-time" to "lifetime" partners for their local advertisers.

Listen to our CMO, Rachel Nulman-Schapiro discuss why media companies should "SaaS-ify" their strategies and mindset with Todd Handy. It’s about rethinking how to support advertisers by moving away from one-off transactions and focusing on ongoing value. Shifting from constantly chasing new sales just to get back to zero, to building real retention and long-term growth. And ultimately, creating a growth flywheel: Acquire → Adopt → Prove ROI → Retention → Expansion

Small businesses are buying back their most precious resource in 2026: their time. Currently, over 90% of SMBs are using automations to handle daily tasks like billing, invoicing & payment collection (87%), marketing (35%), scheduling (33%), and so much more. Why is this such a sought-after feature? Because it saves precious time spent on admin for over 51% of small businesses.

We got Todd Handy's expert insights on how publishing companies can SaaSify (and future-proof) their businesses. If you're looking to retain more of your audience and reduce the churn, you'll want to read this: https://lnkd.in/dafWKwNj

Our CMO, Rachel Nulman-Schapiro sat with industry-veteran Mark Cohen to discuss a key shift in the publishing industry: helping local businesses not just get leads, but convert them into real customers. When publishers support businesses beyond visibility, they become true growth partners. Want to hear more?
