Business is ticking away nicely…

It’s been a big two or so weeks here at Next Marketing. It has made me think that I don’t think I take the enough time to reflect on big achievements. Are you the same? Life is busy running a business. Right?

But, for something different, I thought I would share with you what the past couple of weeks have looked!

• New clients – great projects – bring it on!
• LinkedIn – gone from 110+ connections
• This newsletter – has grown by 25% this year
• Advertising – a new advertising program with B&T
• Marketing Magazine – my column has been featured in every edition for over 12 months now
• Marketing Magazine Annual edition – I have been invited to write for this ‘once a year’ collection edition

How has 2010 treated you? Drop me a line to touch base.

Until next time!

Do you Shop around?

Do you regularly shop around for better service and/or a better price? In a business sense, I did it when I was a Marketing Manager, I also do it now as a Business Owner and I also respond to briefs from clients who are doing the same.

Given that, I decided to dedicate a column in an upcoming edition of the Marketing Magazine to ‘Shopping Around’.

During the research I came across a number of companies, who you may like to check out as part of your next ‘shopping around’ exercise.

• ifindconsultants.com.au – a site to search and find consultants
• creditcardfinder.com.au – with so many options on the market, this website can help you choose the best one for you
• getprice.com.au and lasoo.com.au – two very large websites for anything B2C
• makeitcheaper.com.au – the place to visit to see if you can get a better deal on your electricity bills
• thepamperparlour.com.au – looking for a better deal on beauty services, then look no further
• cnet.com.au – a portal for all your consumer electronics enquiries
• skimp.com.au – use Skimp when shopping around for the best price on home electrical and whitegoods
• billbreaker.com.au – for those who spend too much time on the phone and are searching for a better mobile phone deal.
