Good morning <07 Name>

Today is St George's Day so hang out the flags and fly them high. It should be a National holiday, lobby your MPs and let's get some pride back in this country of ours. There is a website that is taking action, take a look (after you've read the rest of our quality newsletter!!)

Thank you to everyone that has signed up for a FREE Business Website. We'll get them turned round as quickly as we can... nearly 100 of you had signed up when I checked yesterday evening!

This morning we'll be running our Business in Berkshire 'Meeting of the Minds' Internet Marketing seminar at the Saxons Barn. We would recommend those that apply for our FREE Business Website come along to these events as they will learn more about t'Internet and how to make it work for them. Its also a great opportunity to network!

Business is booming, business is booming, business is booming... now repeat this chant as you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night... if we all do this then we'll all achieve our targets and pay ourselves great big bonuses at Christmas!

Set myself up a Facebook account yesterday... well I set up my account a few months back and have done very little with it. Yesterday I was tuned in to go to an Ecademy event in London... I checked the number of attendees booked and it showed 246 or something similar. Some people love that level of attendance, for me it is a little too intense. So I opted to take a look at Facebook and built a Business in Berkshire group... if you're on there, go find it or me and connect... let's see if we can't get it working for us.

Take a look at this week's articles and if someone says something that triggers a response in you, then send them an email or give them a call and make those connections.

No such thing as a free lunch

There's no such thing as a free lunch in business

The Co-operative's new research has uncovered that the UK's workforce spends a bloated £162 million on lunch every day.

The survey (by The Co-operative Insurance Personal Pensions) estimates that each person pays out an average of £5.503 per day, which amounts to £1,265 per year or £50,600 in a lifetime.

Email Marketing Without Spamming

With unsolicited junk email ('spam') accounting for 10% of all internet traffic it's no surprise internet users are getting fed up with it. According to one recent poll, 42% of those who receive spam email said they wished it would stop. The question for email marketers is this: how can you reach your target audience by email without being accused of spamming?

Industry experts at EmailResults.com recently compiled a list of tips to help internet marketers gear their email marketing campaigns for success:

Juan Martin on UK Tour

I first met Juan Martin in 2001 when he was looking for a woodwind player for his new group. With a lot of western music you are provided with a set of parts and expected to franticly read through them with adrenaline as your only ally. This meeting was quite different. Juan was very interested in jazz and improvisation and thankfully it was only sometime later that I found out that he'd not only met but also played with Miles Davis. Rather than printed music I was presented with 6 CD's, a video and a wish that I learn all the material they contained.

Social networking sites

69% Employers lock down social networking sites in the workplace

7 in 10 bosses have placed a ban on websites such as Facebook in the workplace according to Peninsula (employment law firm).

It would seem that Facebook and other social network sites are being targeted by employers and sited as a distraction in their place of work.
