While they may be taking a more reserved approach than larger corporations, small businesses should still consider asking the following questions when determining how wearables can impact your business performance:

    --  Do I now have to create a wearable technology app?
Don't create a wearable app just for the sake of creating one. In order for a wearable app to be useful, it will need to provide some value in a way that a smartphone currently cannot.

    --  Do I need to establish a policy to accommodate users or non-users of
        wearable technology?

This question not only relates to customers, but also your employees and vendors. Clearly identifying how these platforms can affect interactions with all the elements of your business can help to pave the way for integration. Will you need to accommodate the changing behaviors, and if so should you document and share with all employees?
