Good morning <07 Name>

Morning ladies and gents,

It's been an interesting week. I'm aiming to talk to all our existing members and explain the new format as the lead generation side of things requires members to feed the centre when they come across new opportunities that they themselves cannot fulfil.

A very eco friendly way to do business, saving energy on many fronts. We'll have to do an assessment of the impact on our carbon footprint as a result of us all sharing opportunity in this way.

We've been discussing the first page search engine optimisation aspect of our service with a number of the members and are currently evolving a new service based on our research of customer needs. In reality, it's not a totally new service, simply a focussed extension of what we already offer. The key here is the way it is presented and therefore understood by the listener. I was hoping to launch it tomorrow but it needs a little more tweaking! More next week... stay tuned to your favourite Berkshire Business newsletter and tell your business chums.

Welcome to our new FRIENDS who have joined us this week. Archive Management Systems, Kennet Security Consulting Limited and Maximise Group. You'll notice that Sharon's account is in Mary Flavelle pinks and purples. This is an alternative to our BinB greens. You can choose either format, we'll ask you before we set the account up. All you need to do is take us up on our FRIENDS membership.

We been invited to take part in the second Thames Valley Innovation Conference and have updated last year's web space to bring you the current news. If you are taking part in the event then send us 250 words and a pic and we'll add it to the BinB space celebrating this Innovation event in Berkshire.

There's a great mix of business news down the right... I'll leave you to work out which you'd like to click on. I haven't got time to write a little ditty this week, I've got to work out my travel plans. A friend popped round yesterday evening, he's got, sorry had, a spare ticket for the game on Friday!

Our designer is enjoying a relaxing week away, surfing in North Devon. When he gets back we'll be working on our great logo design campaign. If you've been reading our newsletters for some time you will have enjoyed his amazing talent, ranging from graphic design through to hand crafted illustrations. So if you need a great logo to get you started... call 01753 852904.

Online Marketing Looks Set to Double

Online marketing spending could double throughout Europe over the next 5 years according to latest predictions. More and more companies are recognizing the power of the internet as a marketing tool - and they are allocating their marketing budgets to suit.

Email marketing, search, and display advertising are eating an ever-growing slice of the marketing pie in recent years. According to a recent report by Forrester Research, there's unlikely to be any let-up in this trend, with online marketing spending expected to reach Û16 billion by 2012 - more than double the 2006 total of Û7.5 billion - which would account for an expected 18% of total media budgets across Europe. The study indicates a boom in online marketing across Europe, although some countries have been quicker to embrace the online world than others.
