    Marketing Budget Discussion

    It depends on your business. If you are a small company, doing it yourself or using a freelancer. If you are a global business, an agency is best.

    Gym marketing idea

    Creative - that may get you one or two new clients. Maybe speak to the manager to see if you can do some networking, or maybe talk to the big man himself to see if you can do something across all his gyms. Full marks for creativity though :)

    How to find comission-only sales agents to sell building materials for large industrial projects?

    We get asked this all the time, for people that will work on commission. You may find a freelancer that will take it on, until they find a full time job. Commission only sales does not really exist here in the UK, except for double glazing.

    Not quite sure what the question is? If they have a main website, then yes, they would be best to get it SEO friendly, but if they just have a landing page, then that would work for a PPC campaign.

    Email marketing - do we need to outsource?

    This is really tricky these days. We have a database of around 40,000 and send a batch of 500 e-mails. However lots of bounce backs due to people switching positions/companies closing, we got blocked till we manually went through each and every contact to re-qualify.
