    Boring Christmas Cards

    Thanks guys, has given me something to think about. I like the idea for the tree, and from a selfish point of view could be a good PR story too...!

    Boring Christmas Cards

    Every year we send branded xmas cards to our top 150 customers. However as a company promoting 'green' working and wanting to reduce expenditure wherever possible, I want to do something different this year in place of the boring xmas cards. Does anyone have any novel ideas?! Many thanks...

    Inviting jounalists to an event

    Fair point, I don't even like golf and you'll never please everyone! It is a prestigious golf course that most locals would only dream of playing, and with an emphasis on fun rather than skill we are anticipating a high turnout. Besides, no one is forcing them to come, and if I can't get any...

    Inviting jounalists to an event

    Thanks Kimberly. It will be top level directors and execs who are all comfortable with the media, along with a number of top clients and prospects, and I want the press to be included in that. And yes, you're right, it's definitely not about selling, it's about having a great day out with a...

    Inviting jounalists to an event

    Hi all, I am taking a fresh look at our in-house PR and want to develop some solid relationships with the local press, who may have heard of us from previous press releases but don't really know what we do. We are planning a corporate golf day and I want to invite some of the journalists...

    Website layout

    Hi all, I have been researching effective website layouts, but can't find many recent opinions, so I thought I'd see what people recommend on here! If tasked with revamping your B2B website, what up to date features would you make sure are included, and do you have any handy tips for effective...

    World Cup Event

    I am currently planning our annual event for our business partners, and we are incorporating the world cup into the day/evening, so the daytime will be our usual corporate event, but then in the afternoon and evening we will be networking/socialising while watching the football. Does anyone...

    EchoSign

    Hi, We are currently developing an online ordering system for our business partners, but have come across the distance selling/cooling off period problem which in our industry (telecoms) could seriously delay orders being placed - not good! I have found a company which claims to offer a...

    Customer Survey response

    Hi, We currently have a database with customer contact details, but quite often the contact is in the accounts dept rather than the decision maker. We have made changes so that new orders take this into account, but I want to update the database of existing customers, but rather phoning each...

    stickers for outdoors

    Hi, Does anyone know where I can get stickers durable enough for outside? We are getting generic signs for our car park (eg. staff parking, customer parking) and we want to stick our logo on them. We don't need a massive order, so I've been struggling to source them! They will be roughly...

    Outlook Email Backgrounds

    Hi, Does anyone know how to get an image as a background in Outlook emails (2003) that doesn't tile, i.e. it is just one copy of the image centred regardless of the size of the window? I may have made up this functionality in my head, just wondered if any IT whizzes know if you can actually...

    Software developer for extranet

    I understand that, but I wasn't! My post was theoretical, not an actual tender as such. I didn't realise posting a question would result in so many PMs trying to sell their company! I'm not having a go, but this is meant to be a forum for helping others in business, but the way it seems a lot...

    Software developer for extranet

    Thanks for all the PMs, I wasn't looking for people to offer their services however. I was wondering how you find developers, besides the obvious Google search. Are there any directories etc? Anyone got any advice? Thanks :)
