    Are bots clicking on my Facebook ads?

    But there is the same question about traditional advertising: when did you see the billboard/TV commercial/Newspaper advertisement of some company and as a direct result, went to buy a product/services of this company straight away after looking at this billboard/TV commercial/Newspaper...

    Why did you join this forum?

    As it was mentioned by @stender above, I was looking for business forums in the UK as well. And UKBF seems to be the most active out of all the others. I'm learning a lot of new things from the threads, and trying to share some of my knowledge and experience with members as well.

    Small Debt

    I think that it is always a good idea to sign an agreement with the client on payments and deadlines, agreeing on some fines if the client will be late with the payment. If you don't have it, then the customer can waste a lot of your time and energy till you will get the payment for your...

    Business name too similar?

    Absolutely agree with the opinions above: why to confuse your future clients with another business? It is a way better to create a unique name that will be connected only to your company.

    Time to work for myself / Go Freelance - Advice Needed

    I'm pretty sure that you can find all the answers online nowadays. I doubt that such a person exist that can consult you on all the questions you have. If most of your questions are related to legal issues of freelancing, you could look for a lawyer who specialises in freelancing.

    Strange Google

    I'm not an expert in it, but I just put the same text as you in Google search, and I see both websites: Forbes and this "chodong" one.

    Sales Marketing to Local Business'

    I would go for face-to-face and online promotion. You should definitely set up a website for your services and promote it to get higher on search engines.

    Feedback and opinion appreciated

    Agree! Just wanted to write the same: I'm missing the picture of the hair on women to see how they actually look. It would be great if you could even have some short videos of the products to see if hair is shining, as well as to see how the length of the extensions approximately looks on a...

    Manager or Leader?

    I expect managers to be leaders, and leadership is one of the basic skills that a person who would like to become a manager should have.

    Offline advertising, who still uses it and why?

    Yes, it is local. My case is not the UK case but another European country. I think I mentioned it in some old threads previously when you participated there as well. But just in case, will repeat it here. So the country my restaurant is located in is not that big, having 3 major big cities, so...

    Offline advertising, who still uses it and why?

    Oh, common, I wrote that we go both ways. "Oldies" are reached by the interviews with our Chef, articles about our restaurant in general, TV/radio shows where our Chef participates. I believe an article on 2-4 pages with 4 pics about our restaurant will bring enough interest.

    Offline advertising, who still uses it and why?

    Agree, that's why as I wrote on top, we use online promotion as well as offline, but we don't go for paid offline promotion.

    Offline advertising, who still uses it and why?

    1. Some people leave comments under our FB posts tagging their friends with the words like "We should go there". Some of them put likes or other FB reaction. How can I see if some of them became our customers? -> They write message to our FB page to book a table. 2. By feedback. People usually...

    Offline advertising, who still uses it and why?

    I just wrote on top that we tried placing an ad in the newspaper. Well, not newspaper, but magazine. I would better pay those money to promote the restaurant on Facebook with the same picture of food and description of specials :) - at least I will be able to see how many people were really...

    Feedback appreciated - codesauce.co.uk

    I like the visuality of your website. Colourful, cheerful, very minimalistic - I like such style. The only problem that I have with your website is that I can't see any examples of your work - basically, I'm missing your portfolio. Quick quote is good, but it is necessary to provide the...
