    Drumming up interest in a new company?

    cheers for marketing donut I will take a look at that. What we are finding difficult is the stone walling that we are getting whilst contacting blogs, magazines, papers, etc... All we are doing is trying to get the publicity that we need to gain more exposure in the market, just not many...

    Just a general how to really... We have the website, the FB/twitter/pinterest pages, the brochure and have attempted the SEO. How does one go about actually drumming up interest other than word of mouth? We are planning to do a couple of trade shows next year, trying to work out what UK...

    Using Creative Commons licence for pictures...

    The picture libraries that have been found are quite frankly... rubbish. Then there is the charging per picture from £10-20, to be honest charging for a picture of a tree...

    I would be ringing them up and explaining its not acceptable to simple change the backend admin system without: a) Telling yourselves with some official notice. b) User acceptance testing it with yourselves in case a 'fix' has broken the system. c) Free training and or user guides, as this is...

    Company formation

    True about accountants, but I would like to also add that an accountant takes the pain out of many things. For example setting up the company for companies house is the easy bit. What about: Sorting out the VAT registration? Applying for FRS? Sorting out the government gateways? Talking to...
