    Happy New Year to all fellow Gone Fishing members.

    A new website can give your business a well rounded presence.

    I am particularly looking for direct contacts into independent pubs and clubs and local shops with no brewery tie ins.

  • Outsourcing IT support

    These days, IT isn’t quite the same black art it used to be - business owners were often under the impression that IT was so complex that they would need to employ a full time member of staff to look after it. This doesn’t need to be the case today.

    A typical small to medium-sized business would historically have employed a dedicated IT person who would be responsible for looking after complex server set-ups, software updates and general day-to-day issues. Businesses would rely solely on this individual, which in itself would be a dangerous thing to do.

  • The importance of Market Research

    Whether you run a hairdressing salon or a garage, knowing your customers is vital to the life of your business. Learning about them can help you target your marketing and ensure you are providing the product or service they will buy. Market Reseach doesn’t have to expensive and the money spent can be repaid several times over.
    When you know who wants your product/service you can specifically target them rather than waste money trying to reach everyone. Save money and increase sales.

  • The Power of Google!

    If you want to make the phone ring, you really need to pay some attention to your website structure.

    There are key areas of your site that Google is looking to reference.

    You need to think about your domain name, your page titles and your home page text. All inline with the key words that reflect not what you think your business is about, but what your customers are looking for.

  • Have a party to remember

    JD Parties have been in the hospitality industry for over 20 years – and in that time they’ve entertained over half a million guests, thanks to a small dedicated and highly professional team based in Tutbury, Burton on Trent, whose members are simply passionate about enjoyment! With a wealth of knowledge and using their extensive list of professional suppliers, they create a night to remember. Their rather impressive portfolio of events covers themed parties, charity events, exhibitions and product launches, as well as wedding co-ordination and much more besides.
