Venturefest Technology Showcase 2008

Tuesday 1st July 2008 marked this year's Technology Showcase at Venture fest 2008. LiaiseOnline were sponsors of the People's Choice Award. When we were invited to sponsor the awards we felt that the People's Choice Award was the perfect title for an award with which we were happy to associate our brand.

Venture fest is now in its 10th year and helping new businesses gain exposure. The Technology Showcase had some 17 companies presenting their wares to all who cared to listen. Hundreds of business men and women passed through the Venture fest tent during the day, stopping by the stands to find out what they had to offer and making a judgement on which was their favourite business on the day.

Good morning <07 Name>

Another great week in the world of Strategic Product Levitation.

Last week saw the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce take up our SILVER SEO Membership so their events will start appearing in our Monday business newsletter. They were lucky enough to join in at our current special rate of £499 + Vat, this will continue through July but then, sadly will have to end. Our new accountant, Margaret Corridan, came over for one of our regular monthly meetings and helped us see the light! As of August this level of account will cease to be, existing members will be able to continue at this level, should they choose to do so at the end of the year, but new members will have to make a greater commitment if they are going to benefit from our knowledge base that has grown over the last 9 years... and to make sure we can celebrate our 10 year anniversary, our SILVER SEO Membership will be increased to £1200 - £1500 and will include some extra services.

So if you have been pondering whether or not to join in, we highly recommend you do so TODAY!

We also landed a consultancy contract to assist one of our clients in lead generation, exciting but we know with our toolkit, knowledge and beauty we'll be accelerating their growth as required as we have done for many of our partners.

Many of the sites we have created using our content management system are rapidly attracting 1000 page views per month. Then within a few months this increases to 1500, 2000, 2500 and keeps on going for those where content is added on a regular basis creating more pages and therefore more chances of being found. Our own www.liaiseonline.co.uk site has gone from around 6000 page views 6 months ago to over 9000 last month. We had 25 sites that were using our cms and displaying content under their own url six months ago, generating some 35,000 pages per month. Last month both numbers had increased by 100% which meant that all of our sites combined generated a grand total of:

506,586 pages view in June 2008, that's over half a million pages!!!!!


Truly the people's choice! And our sponsorship of the People's Choice Award for Venturefest 2008 yesterday acts a timely reminder that we tend to be ahead of the game with our finger on the pulse!

If you would like to join our gang, and benefit from this forward thinking, then do so today and take advantage of the current SILVER SEO Membership fee. Let us help you increase your profile on the web, which people can find and digest as they search the internet !

Excess Baggage! Flying with musical instruments

Cost effective air travel has made a significant impact on the music business in the last few years. There is a healthy turn over of international gigs and shows that require UK based musicians to regularly hop over to many destinations in Europe and the Middle East. The Musicians Union initially worked in conjunction with the BAA and DOT to produce a card that instructed airline staff about current BAA guidelines for touring musicians. This seems to be largely ignored or ineffectual now and something has to be done. MP Janet Anderson has drafted an early day motion with a view to clarify this issue.

Winners celebrate success

As the closing date for entries for the prestigious 2008 Thames Valley Business Awards creeps ever closer, two of last year's winners have been talking about the benefits they achieved from winning one of the major awards last year.

In 2007, Leasedrive Velo achieved a winning performance when commercial director Roddy Graham walked away with the award for Business Management Team, sponsored by The Royal Bank of Scotland, for the second year in a row.

Effective presentation skills

The effective presentation skills learned during wider key skills study are directly transferable, helping young people to be better suited to the demands of the modern business environment.

Employers value graduates who are able to make presentations and put forward information in a clear, concise way. Along with team working skills, analytical skills and problem-solving abilities, presentation skills are among the top attributes which employers at key companies look for when taking on graduates for development.

Today, 28th June 2008, Windsor & Eton Rotary are holding the Royal Windsor Midsummer Fayre. For local businesses the height of this event will be a duck race on the Thames.
