    What is the Best Practice You have used in Email Marketing?

    Sounds like 'lure and switch' which often works in that you get interest but fails because the interest doesn't convert. Regarding time to send: The best time for someone to receive an email is when they are at their PC or smartphone to receive it and happy to respond to it. So if you sent a...

    epos solutions for fashion

    I am and Intelligent Retail customer (have been for four years). Support is very poor, always has been. Software is a bit shakey at times. We have looked at other options but can't afford to jump ship. Their SEO service is good and affordable though...

    EPOS Advice for eCommerce Retail?

    As a customer of intelligent retail I can tell you that the eBay channel was pulled from beta a few days ago. Their support leaves a bit to be desired and the software is a bit shakey at times. Based on my experiences I would say that right now they are not the best option out there.

    Can anyone recommend a pc-based Till System for a retail shop?

    I've been a customer or Intelligent Retail for four years. Just to let anyone know, the Amazon channel is not yet released and neither is the eBay channel (the old eBay channel was pointless). They were in beta but they have recently been pulled from beta. I don't know what the startup costs...

    Friend stole our business name

    Having spoken to the Treasurer for this business tonight he has assured me that registered charity status has been applied for some time ago. I stand corrected. I was, however, unable to find any information regarding this today when I searched online and spoke on the phone to the charity...

    Friend stole our business name

    Thank you to those who have replied. Advice from a PR stand point is appreciated, but I have posted this in the legal section and I am also interested in advice from a legal point of view. Of course asking them to stop using our name is step 1. This step has been taken. So from a legal stand...

    Friend stole our business name

    So, given the quote I have previously posted from the local press, as a PR and Marketing expert if one of your clients came to you with something similar to this you would advise them that this is a repsect thing and that their is no confusion to the brand we have built over the last five years...

    Friend stole our business name

    Quote from local news story... Rakemark is an Ofsted registered holiday club and will operate on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during summer holidays. This is not correct, Rake Mark is a website design company. When we do marketing and attempt to get our name in the local press people may...

    Hi I need some advice regarding a friend who is using my business name. We are call ourselves Rake Mark and we are a limited company called Rake Mark Solutions Limited. A friend of ours was having coffee in our lounge and asked how we came by the name and so I told her. A few years on and...

    Online Payment systems would you use as a start up

    I don't think that Moneybookers is a great idea. We use them for international fund transfers to overseas remote workers but nothing else. I have never used or heard of Alertpay, so I can't comment. I used to be a big fan of Sage Pay until they rolled out their 'upgrade' late last year. There...

    53 times more likely to be on page 1 with a video

    I was in a meeting with a yell sales rep yesterday and she made an interesting claim. The claim was that you are "53 times more likely to be on the Google front page with a video than without". I asked her what was her source and she basically cited the sales training from yell. I google...

    Sage Pay Update Mess?

    Where you will be told that all lines are busy and try again later (which I got earlier) or you'll be on hold for a very long time (I gave up in the end). By the way, I couldn't see the logout button earlier, but it is there now, so I can sumise that updrades and improvements are on going...

    Sage Pay Update Mess?

    Just totally went off on one then filled in the feedback questionaire. Kind of just unloaded. I've copied and pasted it into here for your amusement... :). Ahhhh... I feel better after that. We are at least taking payments but we did loose a few over the weekend. What do you think about...
