    GDPR: Receiving business cards

    Of course there is then the interpretation of 'marketing'. Is a marketing email something that is mail merged? Is a personal email still marketing? Is a telephone call marketing? Is a site visit marketing? What if they opt out but your order process emails have marketing elements? Bit of a...

    GDPR: Receiving business cards

    I must presume that a lot of the stuff being pushed is nonsense. I was told that I could not contact people by pulling their details from the internet. I can see this as fair if you mean that you cannot stick them into your CRM and send them marketing emails but I was told I could not email them...

    Best Printer For Product Labels

    James, What do you suggest as clear label stock for the c3500? I didnt know epson did one. We use the epson pp white and boting much else seems to work. For products which might get wet, the other epson labels are useless. I should note that the c3500 is great within certain limits. It is...

    Brexit

    Which is somewhat analogous to going test driving a Ferrari with only enough money in the bank to pay for your shopping! Of course, had May not called the general election, she would not need the NI politicians. She could have pushed through a better Brexit and made concessions on NI. The NI...

    Brexit

    Yes, of course. I note you are not in NI so perhaps my earlier statement didn’t resonate. The NI political environment is such that one of the two major parties is unwilling to even consider anything that distinguishes NI ffom the rest of the UK. Even if it were beneficial, they would view it...

    Brexit

    My view is that special status for NI would mean that we would get any benefits to be afforded by Brexit but would also retain anything that we might potentially lose. From a business perspective, I have yet to see any argument (convincing or otherwise) which makes me hunk special status is a...

    Brexit

    I’m fairly sure any special status would help us. I would imagine it would give us access to both the new UK schemes but not inhibit from anything EU. Of course your post is several months old so I guess we know, or are fairly sure, that one group of politicians is more concerned with absolute...

    Businesses in Northern Ireland

    I do not believe I have posted here before. Our company is PiP Chemicals Limited. We are based in Newtownards. We are specialist chemical manufacturers and focus mostly on automotive products. This rages from the heavy industrial cleaners, like TFR and similar, right through to the advanced...

    Hi Kat, thanks for the reply on forum. My address was [email protected]. If you could fire me an invoice, we can get it all filed and shut. Having had a VAT inspection yesterday, we now know how critical this it!! Adam

    Some link building thoughts, please

    Thanks for the replies. You are quite right. The motivation is to get google to rank us better. Keeping at it is not difficult, our business is fundamentally based around growing our customers and growing with them, so we are used to slow burn projects! The website is being done by a third...

    Some link building thoughts, please

    Evening Guys, I wonder if anyone might be able to give me some rough pointers. Before anyone says, yes, I am a paid member and we are going to do the freshbananas course over the coming weeks (as you understand, it isn't something a lively business can do in the blink of an eye). Our scenario...

    Good Morning, We do presently have a Voipfone line but, sadly, we find ourselves not using it as calls out are simple not economical. At present we have: 1 Voipfone line (notionally for incoming calls) 2x Mobile phones with rolling contract The Mobile phones are able to call each other, free...

    Help! German company charging VAT

    I might be missing something but I don't see the problem. The German company has to charge you VAT because you are not VAT registered. If isn't that they will keep this money, they have to pay it to their tax authority. If they didn't charge it to you, they would still have to pay it so they...

    Sage 200 Business Partner

    And it is also worth considering options. At this level, it is a million miles from installing, doing a couple of hours of setup and being ready to go. We migrated from sage to sap business one. The sage solutions just seem to be dated and too hard to work with. Each to their own, of course...

    mail delivery problems to hotmail

    It may be entirely unrelated but my Microsoft 365 has been getting very tough on junk. I now have to check the junk box because it is picking up good mail. I'm fairly sure that it is 365 doing it, not Outlook, because no amount of telling Outlook to add senders to safeel list helps.
