Do you enter competitions?

Posted Thu, 12/10/2009 - 11:54 by Tola Popoola

 I was brought up to look down on anything free so have never been the type to enter competitions. However, since I started my business (on a slim budget) plus a new baby in hand, I've found myself grabbing any freebies. I have since won 6 months of free PR and a £30 voucher from a children's furniture shop!

Who is weathering the storm with you?

Posted Mon, 08/03/2009 - 12:08 by Tola Popoola

During this challenging financial period it's interesting that employers are still trying to keep employee morale high though forced to introduce pay cuts, employment freezes, redundancies and other cost-cutting techniques. Many companies are still doing that little something to show they care about their members of staff. They give employees the day off on their birthdays, do collections to celebrate long serving members of staff and pop champagne when monthly team objectives are achieved.

The Power of your brand through personalisation

Posted Wed, 07/01/2009 - 10:51 by Tola Popoola

We all have our favourite brands when it comes to purchases especially major ones. When it comes to our businesses, do we think of putting in the best to make our businesses, our clients favourite? We invest reasonably heavily in our websites, stationery, equipment and labour. All these show our clients we care about our image. However, how do we show our clients that they are important?
