    Advice on dealing with customer complaints

    I strongly suspect that the problem here is associated with the timber rather than its fitting. Irrespective of whether the wood is hardwood or softwood, timber is no longer seasoned like it used to be, where it was left outside to dry out naturally for years. Speed and cost is of the essence...

    Job dilemma

    On the days when he has no work for you, are you still being paid by him? If so, why not suggest that he doesn't have to pay you for those days provided that you can use his machinery to do your work. Over a period of time, if you can develop a significant future order book, a bank may listen...

    As this is a dormant company, I'm wondering what you're being sued for!

    Trademark issue with Toys R Us.

    Many have tried using R Us and failed. Take a look on the IPO website and after a bit of searching you will find many past cases which have all successfully contested. It would be better to choose a different name.

    Best Way to publish a Blog?

    I too know nothing about blogging, so I read the thread with interest. He initially posted his thread to get some help, wordpress was suggested and backed up by a few others, so off he went to get it. He then felt pretty pleased with himself after taking the advice, but then it seems he...

    Street Trading

    Thank you for this information. This is quite interesting and it may work for me, but it does appear as if its an old custom/law which many would be happier if it didn't exist. It seems that a pedlars certificate can be purchased from a police station for about £12 and it lasts for a year and...

    I've only searched online at the moment, but I'll check with them this week.

    How best to promote a new product for dog owners

    Thank you I did check it out, but it costs £200 for a joining fee and they take 25% commission for each sale! That seems pretty steep to me!

    Street Trading

    I've developed a new product which could also be sold as an inexpensive but ideal Xmas present, and its likely to appeal to all dog owners that have dogs that like retrieving or fetching balls. I did conduct some searches on the internet to try and find out about the rules regarding street...

    How best to promote a new product for dog owners

    Do you happen to know how it works with dog magazines? Do you have to pay for them to run an article on it, for instance? What is the best way to approach them? Do I have to write the article and then submit it or do they write it? I'm sure that it will be of interest to many dog owners, as...

    How best to promote a new product for dog owners

    The Sloofa is nothing like one of the plastic ball throwers. You can actually fit it in your shirt pocket and it only weighs 15g. I dont think I'm allowed to post the url to the website, but if you google Sloofa or check out my profile you should find it. Thank you for the advice, I did...

    How best to promote a new product for dog owners

    It is based on a sling, but not to be confused with a catapult. I do have some demo videos of it being used on my website with my dog, Jake, which are also on Youtube.

    How best to promote a new product for dog owners

    I've invented and developed a new product primarily for the pet industry (dog owners) which is basically a simple but very effective ball thrower that you can put in your pocket. I've called it a Sloofa but its a nice alternative to the plastic ball throwers that you have to carry around...

    Patent pending question

    I believe that it is illegal to insert the wording 'patent pending' if it hasn't been officially applied for. Without incurring the expense of a Patent Attorney to do the search for you, you could try the British Library. Check out their website. They have more advanced software/computers for...
