    Sending Email

    I'm not too sure. I would presume that, like most of the e-mails I receive in my hotmail account, they come following a prior purchase or visit to a website not from receiving a one of e-mail, this is just classed as spamming.

    Sending Email

    Have the target individuals or companies 'Opted in' to received your e-mail correspondence? As I beleive they have to in some form. Check out the EC Directive http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2003/20032426.htm is covers all types of communications but may give you some further info. If not I'm sure...

    Sales letter - anyone care to critique?

    A quick question - what are you doing to ensure the letter stays with the Catalogue? I can honestly say that when I receive new catalogues through I might scan the cover letter but never keep it as I expect the catalogue to give me all the contact details I require. If I'm a minority then...

    Business Name Help

    I wouldn't get caught up with the company to be fair. Like Bill has said, you are the business, I would presume you market by flyers or some form of visual media, in that case you're James Jackson, with your tag line as 'The UK's Number One Michael Jackson Impersonator'. Easy peasy.

    Do I look for investment or loan?

    i would give it a go online but to be honest, we're not getting anywhere, I would need to invest over £10,000 online to generate any revenue and i'm not prepared to do that, with a concrete location and good footfall the money is better spent in renting a shop and then building the online side...

    boring boxes

    google "wooden boxes for trade" theres a fair few in the results, not sure about prices etc or whether they fit your criteria, but worth a look.

    cheap advertising

    Like Will has said above it depends on what media it will be through, also what traffic/exposure you provide. You maybe cheap compared to the big players but would I get the same exposure through you?? Will I reach my target audience?? those are the type of questions companies will be asking...

    Switchboard stickers

    Of course its worth it "out of sight out of mind" as the old saying goes. It maybe worth looking at those stickers that are similar to asset security tags - the one which are really hard to remove. They'll cost a little more but then there's less chance of it getting peeled of buy some board...

    I know, my dad and I have this conversation on a regular basis. So many things have contributed to manufacturings downfall in this country its unreal!

    Employee Stuck in the US

    I think it depends on what type of boss you are. Personally I'd pay, but I know some firms and Local authorities are talking about docking pay and getting the individual to claim it back through their travel insurance. I suppose that way everyone is a winner, but at what cost do you put employee...

    Mobile sweet shop - any such thing?

    I can't ever say I've seen any where i live. It's one of those that I like the quaint, niche, nostalgic idea of the chimes ringing and kids or Adults coming out in the street to get sweets but I just can't see it working - I understand a 99 from the icecream van on a hot summers day because I...

    Document Management & Scanning Service

    Cushman & Wakefiled LLP and Walsall MBC, 2 massive organisations that I know for a fact have outsourced their document scanning in only the past 12 months. There is no guessing involved in my opinions so please get off your high horse with all your sarcastic comments.

    Negotiating payment terms with foreign suppliers, and procedures for defects.

    Might be worth looking what Grants are available for your company to enable you to source suppliers - there are normally travel grants available (China seems to be quite big at the mo) to promote business between countries, so you may be eligable. This way you can go over a visit/source a number...
