    Pound to dollar exchange rate

    Rates are shocking at the moment. I found my broker, Estuary FX, on this forum and switched as their rates were slightly less than Wise. I know when my payments are coming up so recently, I started ordering (hedging) amounts for a future settlement date after paying out a chunk of money at a...

    Suggestions for improving traffic and raising brand awareness

    Thank you for following up on this. Traffic and sales figures have improved but this is probably more to do with tweets and social media although people do get a much better experience when they are on the site thanks to all the advice here. The Amazon brand registry is frustrating but this...

    Shipping to Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland from UK

    I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I am the UK distributor of products manufactured in China. I have only just started to get enquiries from Northern Ireland plus the manufacturer has asked me if I can also cover Republic of Ireland. There is a minefield of information out...

    Limited company becoming a social enterprise

    I am looking for advice with using an existing limited company to become a social enterprise. I have looked through socialenterprise UK and inspire2enterprise but the former has very little information for existing limited companies and the latter haven't got back to me and now emails are...

    Suggestions for improving traffic and raising brand awareness

    I think a lot of the suggestions here (which I will still look at) are about keeping people on the site once I attract them but what would be really handy is advice on actually driving them to the site in the first place :)

    Suggestions for improving traffic and raising brand awareness

    Thanks everyone for their comments. I have made a few small changes and have requested the manual to be sent to me so I can update for the UK market. No sense in doing a redesign on WIX at the moment as I will look at Shopify first.

    Suggestions for improving traffic and raising brand awareness

    I hope you can help. My website has been going for a few months (airbon.co.uk) and I would like to increase sales and the number of unique visitors per day. The site is built on WIX and I have, to the best of my ability, made use of all the SEO features on every page. Here is what else I have...

The idea is to sell the value of the premium app package which we hope they will continue to pay for after the 12 months is over. There will also be...

    Offering package deals to business customers

    Thank you Mr D and Japancool. I very naively assumed this was credit and it fell under the FCA. Thank you for confirming that I can just draft up a contract where they pay over a 12 month period in instalments - so much simpler :)
