    Royal Mail New Postage Costs

    Ideas for advertising for a plant hire company?

    There is a national plant hire directory website which sits at No.1 for the search term jcb hire which gets nearly 2000 searches per month. I see that your company is not adevrtising on it. They do all sorts of plant hire companies not just jcbs. It may be a good place -...

    I actually run 3 local online directories in Devon and believe me trying to get Businesses to part with a single penny is impossible!! I tried going from free to paid but my submissions dried up completely (not a bit - completely!!) so I went back to free. The main one is on Page 1 of Google...
