Christmas Comes Early at Recognition Express

If you're keen to generate plenty of business throughout the Christmas period, the time to take action is NOW. And what about January? Traditionally a quiet time for most businesses, so how about planning a promotional campaign now so you get the new year off to a flying start?

Recognition Express proprietor Tony Quinn is reminding businesses to plan ahead for the Christmas period and new year. "Every year people leave things far too late. Taking some action now will generate business before Christmas" he says, adding "Christmas gifting should be thought about NOW, not left until the last minute."

Good morning <07 Name>

It's been an interesting week. Starting with the announcement last Wednesday afternoon that Foot and Mouth had impacted on my world... the Great Park being the location of my early morning exercise and restrictions coming into force which would make it less enjoyable... pants!

Thursday morning I was hoping to get over to the Madejski Stadium for the Connect Reading event, it looked very interesting. But having also being invited by Avis to join them for the match on Friday in Paris, I needed to be in the office to re-jig my diary and sort out my www.businessleadsuk.co.uk website ready for launch this week. The boys couldn't dent the South African defence, but the French certainly know how to dent the bank account, 15 Euros a shot!

On Sunday I sat down to check progress on the new www.businessleadsuk.co.uk website and found that 5 of the 8 pages had already been indexed by Google, 2 pages achieving a page 1 listing! And when I looked deeper, I noticed that the site had been picked up as soon as we launched it on Friday! Now that's what I call service!

We're currently creating our www.firstpageseo.co.uk site and have a few client projects relating to our new service, including www.cooperlease.co.uk. If you appreciate what a page one listing could do for your business then please make contact, 01753 852904 and we can discuss the detail.

Welcome to our new FRIENDS, Fiona Challis and a couple of other chaps who have yet to send in their 250 words so we'll introduce them when they're ready.

Yesterday morning I spent with the guys at the Creative Business Sector Network, running a workshop to show them how to make the most of the web space we awarded them for achieving set targets. Go take a look: Alison Crown Photography, Annick McKenzie, Chez-Vous Homestyle, Instinct Media, Khalid Abdullah, Pottytree Puppets, Shantana, Tania Holland and Zeljana, whose space we used for training everyone on (so it's a bit of a pickle...), we'll give her a push when she's had chance to polish it up a tad.

I've got a couple of leads for Friday's email but we aim to have half a dozen each week. Help us to help YOU. Visit our new business leads website and enter a few details about the opportunity you have / have heard about and we'll push them out to our FRIENDS. If you want to receive this Friday's email then you need to be a customer of LiaiseOnline / Member of Business in Berkshire. Become our FRIEND today...

I'll be at Mary's Keller Breakfast this morning... a great place to meet business people... after the "formal" networking I've got a couple of meetings with new clients... I highly recommend attending Mary's breakfast, or one of her other events sometime soon.

Thursday I'll be up to London to visit one of our partners who has won a couple of monster media awards recently for web video streaming which have led to them touring the world with The Who and Genesis... rock on!!

Cooper Lease

The compact dimensions and standard reversing sensors make for easy parking even in the tightest of spaces, while the responsive handling and impressive supercharged pace mean it's perfect for slicing through busy city traffic. Now add the wind-in-the-hair fun factor plus seating for four - that's the Mini Cooper S Convertible.

When it comes to alfresco motoring, the Mini Cooper S Convertible is a winner. Unlike convertibles with folding metal roofs, the Cooper S features a traditional fabric roof which has the advantage of being compactness: there's still room for four seats, plus there's a clever 'sunroof' function if you don't want the top all the way down.

First Page SEO

First Page SEO Rankings: Is There a Shortcut?

There's so much hype surrounding first page SEO it's difficult to separate truth from fiction. What works and what doesn't? If you're serious about achieving first page SEO rankings, how do you go about it? And more importantly, are there any shortcuts to first page SEO success?

Like most things web-related, there is no straightforward answer. Although it IS possible to get your business ranked on the first page, there is no certain guaranteed method of doing so. Usually it's the result of a combination of activities carried out in a consistent way over time.

Networking is an Art form

I have really enjoyed coming back to it and watching so many of you improve your one minute presentations, build relationships and just enjoy yourselves whilst you are doing it.

At the bottom of all success though lies passion and enthusiasm. If you have both of these ingredients, you will go a long way.

If you had attended all the breakfasts meetings at The Coppid Beech Hotel since May, you would have had 175 marketing opportunities - what have you made of this opportunity?? I would dare to suggest - very little. Networking is great - follow up is better.
