Support Your Local Radio Station

Just had an email in from my pal Paul, who amongst other local Marlow folk, helped Tim Ashburner get Marlow FM on the air over the summer...

"I was hoping you might be able to help our bid for a 5 year licence?

One of the criteria that Ofcom focus on is proof of local support/demand for a community radio station. They won't accept petitions or any kind of templated letters etc; only bona fide individual emails or letters (emails preferably as the application is made via email). I was wondering whether you'd consider giving us a plug and asking your members if they'd mind lending their support to the campaign?"

"I Can't Get Any Work Done Between 9-5!"

I am sure we have all said that from time to time. No matter whether you are a business owner, director, manager or executive, you have important tasks that need your undivided attention and 'protected time', says Verbatim Call Centres Director Graham Hill.

"When Gavin Peck and I set up Verbatim Call Centres in 1997, as an outsourced telephone reception service, we did not appreciate the role the business could play in providing 'protected time' to business owners and managers" says Graham. It's a benefit that was first brought to his attention by Nigel Temple, a small business marketing expert, who maintains that one of the key benefits he receives from using Verbatim's call answering services is 'protected time'.

Sunshine in a Jar

NEW! Sunshine in a Jar
Winner of Gift of the Year 2007!

Original design by Tobias Wong. Jam jars store Jam, the sun jar collects and stores sunshine! The Sun Jar is made with a traditional Mason jar and high tech energy efficient lighting. When the jar is placed in direct sunlight the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. This energy is then used at night to power the three LED lamps inside the jar. The light is diffused by the frosted jar and gives the appearance of sunlight (warm coloured LED lights are used to give a more natural and warm light)...

Christmas jingle composer sought

Youths in Slough are being encouraged to create music in an effort to raise awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Slough Borough Council has asked residents under 19 to participate in a competition to produce a Christmas jingle.

All categories of music are encouraged to be entered, from traditional jingles to drum base, as long as it illustrates the dangers of drug and alcohol use before driving.

Sales Lead Generation

Sales Lead Generation Made Easy.

Generating sales leads can present a real challenge to many businesses, especially those without a clearly defined sales and marketing strategy. If you're struggling with sales lead generation it's usually a result of 2 reasons: lack of activity, or too strong a focus on what is being sold rather than how it addresses the potential client's problems.
