25 business leads in 20 days!

"I have known Jon Davey for about 5 years, and always thought I know what he did. Everyone told me how good he was at helping businesses get to the top of the search engines.

I could see it, but what Jon was saying to me was not what I was hearing - and it was my fault.

Well, here's the great news for you. He is not good at what he does. He is brilliant.

Good morning <07 Name>

Another interesting week in the annals of business development!

Since launching Business School in a Box we've realised that half the population did not enjoy school, so perhaps school was the wrong word, that an expert is a broken tap or something akin. Our aim is to create an up lifting experience. We have therefore re-christened our event and it will hence forth be known as:

Business in Berkshire's "Meeting of the Minds"

We have 20 plus business owls who are happy to share their knowledge with business men and women who would care to spend 15 minutes talking about their specialism or anything else that comes to mind!

We are limiting the breakfast and lunch to 60 places, so you'd better get your seat booked if you want to make the most of the day. If you get there a little earlier, you'll be able to take advantage of being an early bird by booking your "Meeting of the Minds" appointments first!

This event will become known as the quality business networking event in Berkshire over the coming months. So if you are looking to build your network, connect with business men and women with a great deal of business experience, discuss key business topics and get connected, then you need to book on our event today.

During the week I have been speaking to Kate Pitts, she runs the Innovation space at Reading University and will be managing Innovation for BinB as we move forward. Expect some wise words from her over the coming months.

Jane Brocklebank is taking on our Kidsinberkshire.co.uk space. She's been working on her Dimplemambo portal for a couple of years and there is a natural fit with the common theme... KIDS!

I was over visiting Quinney in Newbury and after 3 years of my words washing over his head he had an eureka moment. So watch out for a FREE badge offer coming your way next week!

Then I had my 5 minutes of fame on Time 106.6... anybody heard me yet? I talk about the events calendar and pull out the major events, like our "Meeting of the Minds" and the BCF Charity Gala Dinner at the end of the month.

Monday I went over to see Absolute Health & Safety in their new offices, they geet posh ya na!

Then yesterday I had a very interesting meeting with a chap called James at the IOD. More news on that coming soon to a mail box near you!

Enjoy today's news and we look forward to seeing you at our Meeting of the Minds event on 28th February.

P.S. Would you like to go to the Chelsea v Reading game tonight... hit reply to this email...

Internet Marketing Business

I read an email that came through today which said that people like FREE stuff on the Internet. Well I guess that is true, we all like a bargain, but do we really want FREE.

My experience of FREE is that people think they want it but then they realise they don't. What they really want is value for money. So if you offer it for FREE or very low cost they tend to think there is probably a catch. Some will take the chance, but if they didn't need it in the first place they never actually put their 'freebie' to good use and others will just walk on by, thinking:...

Credit Crunch

The Credit Crunch and how it affects business; large, small and in between.

The credit crunch is all about the cost of borrowing and the availability of capital.

Those institutions that make money available to business, either through loans, overdrafts, credit cards or purchase finance are becoming more risk averse. Because the industry has had to write off more debts due to business failure and bankruptcy than planned, this is affecting their profit. It also indicates that the industry has lent money to people or businesses that could not afford to pay it back.

Taxi Advertising

Linden Homes hail the first taxi campaign in Slough. When Black Cab Advertising were able to secure advertising on the licensed taxis that operate in Slough, the first call they made was to Focal Point.

Not wasting any time we brokered a deal with Linden Homes to promote their Verve development of luxury apartments in the town centre...

UK Seaside Holidays for Families

The last of the Turkey curry has been devoured, the Christmas decorations taken down, New Year's resolutions made, and with that slightly deflated post-Christmas feeling, you need to find something new to look forward to. It's the ideal moment to plan a short family break by the seaside...

Spring or early summer is the ideal time to grab yourself a short break by the sea with the kids - whether just a long weekend or a full week. It doesn't have to cost a fortune and it's a great opportunity to explore parts of the country you may not have visited before.
