    Rising fuel costs

    Another example of the physical problems with charging cars. I live in a tourist town. The council recently installed 2 charge points in the local car park. They are both used more or less all the time. What I also noticed that a car parks up in the EV space and charges, the day tripper...

    Anyone experience of listing on Ubereats/Deliveroo (especially as a daytime business?)

    Yes, I get it. It is an obvious choice and to be honest I can see why people do it. I would consider it too if I were in catering. My point is, would you let your customers round the back to the kitchen door to pick up their takeaway? The front door of your business becomes the trademan's...

    Anyone experience of listing on Ubereats/Deliveroo (especially as a daytime business?)

    Intimidating I guess because I was always told to be aware of my surroundings - especially if alone. Walking into a small shop such as a takeaway or cafe where there are 3 or 4 fellas waiting for deliveries is not a place I am comfortable with. Maybe it wouldn't bother others and that's ok...

    Anyone experience of listing on Ubereats/Deliveroo (especially as a daytime business?)

    Sorry, not my area of business. I would say that I personally get put off going inside any food outlet with delivery drivers hanging around. It's quite intimidating to me and just feels a bit wrong. I would look carefully at who your walk in customers are and if you think it might be an issue?

    In-depth RM Click and Drop question

    I'm having the same problem with Amazon. We are trialing click and drop so not going full time with it yet.

    Johnson's Social Care statement

    Yes, and it leaves the door open to raise income tax down the road.

    Johnson's Social Care statement

    Raising NI makes it even harder if you want to work but are stuck on benefits. Working gets less financially appealing with less in the wage packet. The freeze on the income tax threshold until 2026 also squeezes the bottom end earners too. Not much incentive to work there either.

    Copyright infringement claim

    OK, my original advice still stands. Please try to calm down a little, the emotion is one sided and won't get you anywhere. You are thrashing away on your keyboard on a public forum using words like "agressive" and "bullying". You are not anonymous on here as you have filled in your profile...

    Copyright infringement claim

    OK, I can see that you have some emotion here. First thing is stop being upset. It is business to them and they don't care if you are upset, angry, annoyed, flinging pots and pans round the house, not sleeping or whatever. They will deal with this 50 times a day and it is water off a ducks...

    China stocks are crashing - will we follow?

    I don't know and I don't think anyone else can predict with any detail and accuracy either. The problem is so vast and complex, nobody will have a true idea of the fall out. Something will give eventually. Predicting when isn't easy either. This year, next year, 5 years? I think that people...

    Getting product into stores + exposure

    I got to the second meeting with a national retailer in my sector where they declared they wanted exclusivity. The figures they were quoting for expected sales were less than I was selling as an independent and less profit. It didn't go any further than that. It isn't as cash quick as it might...

    Getting product into stores + exposure

    I would say trying to get into the big shops will be tricky. For positive advice, I would say to work on your Amazon presence. If you own the brand, get the A plus content slick. Look at ads. Work on the keywords, improve photos etc. There is always more that can be done to improve sales that...

    Sending product samples via Direct Mail

    I would agree that 2 percent is about the response rate. Although it is too small a sample to tell, you did get 2 visitors so I would guess that's about it for you too. I am probably your target market and if I had a product sample come through the letterbox that I had never heard of it would...

    How do you refer to your business?

    It depends who I'm talking to as to how i refer to what I do. If it's family, I talk about work. If it's formal like the bank it is the company. Then there's the others. If I think they are all ego I tend to say nothing unless they really want to know and I give an explanation rather than a...

    Your first CV

    Just a thought... We have a student at the moment writing blog articles for us. She gets half a day a week in a work environment. Something she can show to a potential employer and reference. We get website content that never seems to make it to the top of the to do list. I hope your daughter...
