    Is a Landline Number Still Important?

    I've had voip numbers through you for about 15 years and as long as I have businesses, I'll have those numbers :) I love the ability to bar calls from specific countries, and I love having a geographical number that forwards to my mobile, keeping my mobile number private (I don't tend to make...

    No sales high traffic

    Review your product descriptions. In the bath bombs sections your 'product information' is literally just the title of the product. In the 'bath oils' section, the products I looked at have identical product descriptions to every other website selling those products. Use your home page to sell...

    Hello, I'm back :)

    Anyone still here who remembers me? :) Only feels like a few weeks' break, but it's actually been about 4 years! I bet there's very few names around here that I recognise these days :)

    Why are couriers so useless

    Dunno - I didn't choose the courier, that's just who the retailer was using. I don't use couriers on a professional level, only personal. You're not normally given a choice, as a customer, as to which courier will be used :) Like I said - the retailer I bought from chose the courier, not me. I...

    Why are couriers so useless

    I spent £400 on posh crockery in January. Bloke that delivered it threw the boxes from the back of the van onto his trolley, thought it was bloody hilarious didn't he :rolleyes: Needless to say, when I opened one of the boxes to discover everything in it was smashed to pieces, I was not a happy...

    Could you recommend me the best book you've ever read?

    For me, it's Roots by Alex Haley. Very powerful, makes me cry every time. You go through a huge number of different emotions while reading it; sadness and distress, anger, joy when the family wins its freedom, hope for the future that lessons may be learned from the mistakes of the past... it's...

    Telephone scam - 'your PC has a virus'

    Last time I had one of these calls, I told them I didn't have a computer so I couldn't understand why he would be calling me. He was really puzzled - kept saying "really? you have no computer?" - then asked if someone else in the house had a computer, so I said no, there are no computers at all...

    Credit control problem - EU client

    Hiya, I've been very lucky over the years not to have been in this situation before, but I now have a client who seems to be avoiding paying me and avoiding talking about it, ignoring my emails etc. The client is EU-based and I very stupidly didn't ask for a deposit before starting work on her...

    Any "BLOG" pro's?

    Hello Borobar :) Have you tried using the blog search on Google? For argument's sake, let's say you want to create a blog about baking cakes. Type "baking cakes" into Google, and when the results come up, on the left hand side under "everything" click the 'blogs' link (you may have to click the...

    email marketing

    Doesn't matter how you word it; if the recipient didn't ask to receive it, it's spam. This sort of thing royally p*sses me off. Legitimate email marketing to people who've double opted-in to receive the sender's newsletters is an uphill struggle because of all the spam-merchants out there...

    Ian Hendry, founder of WeCanDo.biz passes away

    Such shocking, awful news :( Like you, Phil, I didn't know Ian personally but we chatted many times on forums and on Twitter, and he was such a lovely guy. So supportive of small businesses like mine, did so much for the business community. What a terrible, terrible loss.
