    Marketing struggle

    Yes, I have hayfever and they seem to help. Although facial massage of any kind is probably beneficial for improving tone and circulation.

    Marketing struggle

    I forgot to ask. Are you on Treatwell? Or any other marketplace for therapists?

    Marketing struggle

    Hi, I actually had a lymphatic drainage facial today, so there are people who are aware of these types of treatment. Don't lose hope. Plenty of people who pay for alternative therapies, such as acupuncture and reflexology, you just need to get among your people. Harvey Nichols appears to offer...

    mannequin advise

    If you buy a mannequin because it's cheaper than live models, choose a matt flesh-toned mannequin. Avoid shiny white or black mannequins because they don't photograph well. The light bounces off them. There are tutorials on line for how to use 'ghost' mannequins. Unless you have the right...

    Small Business starting up ....any help appreciated!

    Hi, Is the training that you provide something that people already know they need (i.e. they can't get work without it/need a refresher course regularly), or do you have to 'create' the need? If it is the first, where and how do they look for courses? If it's the second, where do you need to be...

    Beach towels - good quality manufacturer - any recommendations?

    Maybe visit a trade show in Istanbul? Traditionally the best towel products in Turkey come from Bursa. If you change your browser to google.com.tr and search for havlu+fabrika you'll find some companies. Their sales teams are likely to speak English. With Turkey only 3.5 hours on a cheap...

    How can I sell 3d services remotely?

    Might it also be worth your while offering one limited service on sites such as Fiverr or People Per Hour? For example 'I will visualize one room and provide one low-res and one high res render for $xxx). I can supply additional perspectives of the same room for $xxx. You wouldn't get the high...

    How can I sell 3d services remotely?

    A company I used to work for sometimes required additional freelance 3D visualisers (for events/trade shows). We found them through Linkedin, or even hired based on a portfolio PDF sent in a unsolicited email. Perhaps google some companies you would like to work with and reach out to them via...

    Which is best to choose - shopify , 1and 1 or ekmpowershop

    I have used both Shopify and EKM. I would strongly recommend Shopify over EKM. Have been with them for the past year and love how simple it is to take payments with Stripe, plus there is a good community of app developers which you can tap into. The fees are simple and transparent and you can...

    Advice on marketing my new site

    I haven't seen any results from Pinterest click through either, but I wanted to stress the importance of putting time into your own Shopify blogs now. When I first set up my store (also Shopify) I happened to write one indepth blog which now brings in around 35% of my traffic (it appears on...

    Next Step - Ecommerce

    In response to OldOakey. Having used both EKM and Shopify in the past few years I can say that Shopify is light years ahead of EKM in every respect. It isn't just a question of preference for me - EKM's shockingly bad technical service damaged 2 businesses I was working with at that time. I...

    Next Step - Ecommerce

    A question to Oldoakey - what is your relationship with EKM powershop?? A user? I simply cannot understand why you would recommend them. Dreadful software and service. I speak from 3 years' experience with them. I use Shopify now and I'm really happy with their product and service. A few things...

    First Trade Show Advise for ThumbsUp Nails

    Hi Grace, You sound well prepared. My additional suggestions would be: Only offer pro-forma accounts - unless the buyer is from a very established company. New accounts shouldn't expect credit terms until for at least 3 orders. Contact any companies you would like to target in advance by email...

    Amazon to Shopify

    Try asking in the Shopify forum as someone has probably asked the question before, or there could be a new app. Check the shopify app store.
