    Are Evri really that bad?

    Used Evri for hundreds of parcels and never had any go missing or be damaged. Items ranged from second hand caravan parts to insect mesh. I use them because I once sent a large caravan window with RM and it arrived like someone had put their boot through it. Sent a replica item through Evri with...

    Got the registered tm, the product etc. but need help!

    Some great replies thank you to all who have taken the time! (even the brutal!) This is just the thing I was looking for. I always jump into things blind then feel my way through... sometimes naivety is your friend. Dollfingers I'm glad at least you got it! I've just quickly read through the...

    Got the registered tm, the product etc. but need help!

    Thanks! Great ideas. Number 1 I'm going to try... Number 2 already tried, but because I'm not yet an established brand no one is looking. Number 3 I like the idea, but what sizes do you send? How do you find out where to send? etc. Number 4 definitely something to think about. Some newsworthy...

    Got the registered tm, the product etc. but need help!

    Hi I have the registered trademark and created a brand of t shirt/clothing, a basic website etc. but am garbage at marketing or the like. I thought of pop up shops but the locations are never right. I have no real budget for marketing but will happily give the necessary time to push the product...

    Is importing from China to sell on Amazon dead now?

    Hi all. For the past two years I've had great success looking at Amazon best sellers and then buying the products from China to sell under existing listings. However now when I try to find products they are all branded or trademarked, so therefore a no go, or are selling too cheap to make any...

    Marketing partner or is there such a thing?

    Thanks guys. My thoughts were to have someone on board to push it for a commission or % of sales...someone to partner with rather than pay as an employee. At least I guess I know it can be done!

    Marketing partner or is there such a thing?

    Hi, I'm starting an exciting (imho) new business in the automotive industry. This is big in the US but just emerging over here. I'm happy to be the hands on guy doing the work for now until the business is busy enough for employees, but the business needs someone to market/promote it, as I seem...

    What do you suggest for a dying trade?

    Hi Chris, this is fibrous plastering...an area I'm not familiar with. I'm 'solid' plastering.

    What do you suggest for a dying trade?

    Thanks for that! Stick with the aquarium idea...like you say, one day! I've seen the spray/k rend/ wallcrete stuff, but to be honest none of it takes my fancy... I'm thinking soundproofing now to combine both. Re. the guy with the studio. Great idea! At least I know it works to some...

    How to Build a Profitable Trades Business on a Shoestring

    Be interesting to see where this goes. To be honest all I'm seeing (as a plasterer) is price price price. Quality is not a concern...maybe thats why I'm quiet of late. I will NOT compromise my quality just so I can drop my price... Gas of course is probably a completely different matter...

    Would you give away part of your company in exchange for marketing?

    Why is the payment system like that though? I'm currently a tradesman and I wouldn't dream of going to a customer and saying..."Pay me £2000 and then I'll plaster your house".....Its always always the other way round. Back to the OP I would imagine only a startup would need to use such a...

    What do you suggest for a dying trade?

    Its always been my downfall I think Stretchy. I really struggle with the concept of marketing and what to do. Could you elaborate a little?

    What do you suggest for a dying trade?

    Hhmm... I did think of recording club singers and acoustic artists in my studio for a cheap rate, but didn't have many takers. The offer was come and bring your backing tracks and I'll record your vocals for £80 up to ten songs. I'm also looking at writing and recording custom made songs for...
