    Social media.

    Hi If you have something where a photo would promote the product/service, then why not? Get the balance right with part automation and part live, it's worth giving it a go :-) Jamie

    Charity Fundraising

    I would suggest that you write to businesses in your local area. If you are fundraising on behalf of charities and you are not the actual charity, you will find that some businesses will require proof from the charity that you are an approved fundraiser (Nando's) for example require this...

    How to gauge success of an advert?

    We have customers that use a different telephone number in each advert. So for example, if they advertise in the Sunday Times they would use a specific telephone number in that advert to track how many calls it generated. The numbers have online statistics, which enables them to view how many...

    Employing staff

    We use an outside company as they take care of ordering of supplies, staffing (including holiday/sick cover) and it's one less thing to deal with. That said, in the early days we did it ourselves, perhaps not as often as we should have! What's your thoughts on it? Jamie

    Vehicle Leasing

    We went for a Mini One D due to the low CO2 emissions and no or very little tax to pay for the staff member as a benefit in kind. There's also the NI due once a year on any additional benefit in kind P11d total etc. I think the Leon will be low emissions too, worth considering the emissions...

    Vehicle Leasing

    We've found Tilsun Group to be good over the years. More recently the local dealerships have been competitive as well as price matching web quotes. Our last two vehicles were from dealerships. The service is also that bit better than just having a vehicle dropped off by a driver at your...

    social media shoutouts

    It may be worth attending a social media training course for a day in your local area. Do you have a local chamber of commerce that puts on training courses perhaps? Jamie

    Hiring an office

    It certainly sounds like it's what you want to do ;) Main points to consider from my experience: Ease of exiting the rental agreement/lease. If long fixed term lease, option to sub-lease/let until the agreement ends. Address - make sure you can use Royal Mail's forwarding service for...

    Freeview HD + PVR Recommendations

    Hi, I too would recommend Humax boxes. You can skip through the adverts easier than on sky. You can jump forward a minute or two without having to see it fast forwarding. Usually two presses gets you straight to the end of the ad break! You can still do series links and all that too. Just...

    Fixed Number Anywhere?

    Hi, Yes you have both Orange and Voda that do a similar service to O2. I can't remember which one of them I spoke to, however their service is for up to 1,000 minutes a month under their fair use policy. Worth checking as if you find that you do more minutes as your business grows, you may run...
