    Business Cards: I want something special

    Yes, but it depends upon the impact it has, that's why I'm looking for a "special business card" for a Motivational Speaker. Postcards at 1p each are pretty cheap in anyones language though I'd have thought?

    Business Cards: I want something special

    Still not decided on a business card, however, I will make a comment on the postcards if I may. Business cards and postcards are for different uses and I have 5 different postcards. As an author of 3 books, when a customer buys 1 book, we insert a postcard for each of the other books- they...

    Sending Corporate Christmas Cards?

    We've decided to send a Christmas email rather than a Christmas card in the post, here's why... 1) A card is seen and thought about at the time it's opened, then forgotten and put in the bin. 2) Sending an email is greener than a card in the post 3) Sending an email is cheaper than a card in...

    What is the most amount of money you have spent on a single piece of Advertising?

    No, I'm not a motivational speaker, nor am I a famous sportsman. I have written a world-wide #1 best selling business book and I speak about business strategy, particularly in difficult times. Why would you assume that people like me don't take part in business forums?

    So what have you done?

    What is the most amount of money you have spent on a single piece of Advertising?

    I won't give the value, but I charge a few grand to speak at a conferences. I was asked to speak at one particular conference that had a huge audience and was asked to do it for free. Why would I do that? Well, obviously it would only be for marketing purposes of course, so I forfeit my fee in...

    Microsoft Tinker

    I had to buy a new machine at the time of the Vista launch, so I decided to go with Vista. At first, I thought, "What's the big deal, not really any difference". Then I went back to an XP machine and wow, was it outdated or what? The good thing about Vista is that it is much more stable...

    UK Car Sales October - bleeding cash

    FE, we don't need to wait for the next 18 month's worth of stats, because we can look back at the last 18 month's of stats, which confirm that new vehicle registrations are in decline.
