    Furniture CAD design - how much should I expect to pay?

    I need CAD designs (2D drafting and 3D modeling to be specific) for a small range of furniture/storage items (6 different designs in total). All I have to give them are my hand drawings - basic elevation sketches with the dimensions marked on them. Can anyone tell me how much should I expect...

    Help to Help

    Firstly, good for you for wanting to make a difference and put something back. Depending on the level of philanthropy you have in mind there are a number of organisations out there (e.g. philanthropyuk.org) offering some pretty detailed guidance on how to select charities and assess the...

    Anyone have any experience of working with Zipperer or similar export services?

    Hadn't considered China to be honest. I really am very novice at all this. I'm assuming a broker would source the best factory and set up/monitor quality control? I chose Zipperer simply based on the fact they have an office not far from where I'm based and I have worked with an organisation...

    Anyone have any experience of working with Zipperer or similar export services?

    As the title says! I am taking a bit of a step outside of my usual comfort zone and am toying with the idea of developing and importing a small range of furniture/storage items for sale here in the UK. They would need to be manufactured in non-toxic lacquered MDF with silk-screen printing to...

    pre wedding data

    Do you need the data for research or marketing? confetti.co.uk and hitched.co.uk are both have very popular membership based discussion forums. Might be worth a quick call/mooch around on their website to see if they offer any targeting advertising opportunities or if they sell any of their...

    Stall event - help please

    Will you be selling direct from the stall? If so you might consider offering free gift wrapping. When people do come over the the stall try to get them to hold the bags - pick them up yourself and encourage people to open them, try them on etc. People are often a bit shy and worried about...

    New business name opinions pls

    Sorry, can't get it to work. However anyone turning up on your website is already partially interested and probably already has a vague idea of what you do (even if just from the info that pops up on their search engine). It's getting them to your site in the first place that will be your...

    New business name opinions pls

    Generally I'm not a fan of misspelled names, but I actually don't mind Insite as it comes across as a play on 'in (web)site' which, if it has some relevance to what the business does would seem to make some sense. I can, of course, only speak for myself though.

    Marmite strapline

    I can't see any problem. Since your soft toys will not be competing with jars of Marmite for sales I would assume the worst they could do is ask you to stop using their trademark (name). I don't think the actual "you either love it or hate it" advertising slogan is protected in any way. That...

    Opps - have just noticed you have made your decision. And a very fine choice of name it is too. Best of luck :)

    New business name opinions pls

    Well, I buy advertising and marketing services on behalf of my clients and new suppliers generally get the time it takes my finger to tap 'delete' to make an impression. In that time I will generally skim read the headline/subject line and company name. If it's a telephone enquiry you usually...
