Hi Matty

I`m not too sure what your meaning... is it advertising stickers for cars etc.

These guys - http://www.rcmmarketing.co.uk/ - do various roof signs, door sticker, etc. Their target audience is mainly driving schools, but I'm sure some of the stuff they do would be appropriate for any business.

Go to www.canvasgraphics.co.uk Jon is the owner and he can knock you up some great ones, he did mine and also does a range of sunsheilds with advertising on them. Mention my name and I'm sure he'll do you a deal.

Oh and Duane, Get off your high horse. My grammers pretty crap too, but this is only a chat forum, not a business presentation. This is not a slagging off board, we are all here to help one anouther out.

High horse? I don't think so. One of the first basics, and I believe, essentials, is the ability to present yourself and your company in the best possible light. Presentation of the written word is one such ingredient. It matters not how well versed in entreprenerial skills one is; it is the ability to marry those skills to the business model and present/portray them to the public and business sector.

This is not 'only' a chat forum; it is a doorway to the prospect of further business deals and reciprocal assistance. It therefore is, in essence, a 'business presentation.'

All Duane did (followed up by myself) was alert 'Matty' to the fact that his 'presentation' was severley lacking. If 'Matty' was not so alerted to this and he subsequently sent out advertising literature, offered quotations or similar without first checking his document (spelling, grammar, etc) it would be us who felt neglectful in our 'duty' to assist others - as you quite rightfully point out.

As for your claim of it not being a 'slagging off board' is that not a case of the pot calling the kettle black?
Cheers and kind regards, Nigel

I wasn't slagging him off, I was trying to point out that it's not very easy to read a full paragraph like that with absolutely no punctuation. Sorry if I caused either of you any offence, it wasn't intended.

Although, having said that, I do agree with the points Nigel kindly made in my defence.
