Many, it would be fair to say, aren't held in the highest regard by the community (!).
A long term client of ours is the lovely, handsome and debonair (he makes me call him that) Andrew Lind.
Conveyancing in Brisbane
Andrew's firm does a lot of conveyancing in Brisbane and he does it for a fixed fee.
Which makes sense to me. You see, a job like conveyancing is generally pretty easy (Andrew may strike me down for saying this) and is pretty routine for a lawyer.
So it makes sense to charge a fixed rate so there are no surprises.
And that is marketing - making is cost effective and easy for your customer is marketing.
Understand that pretty much everything you do in your business is marketing.

I did a review of Tasmanian hotel reviews on the site along with a number of other aspects.

That makes an F1-11 simulator, 737 simulator and a real helicopter in the past few weeks.

Now I'm off to world domination with it!

Getting the bikes down is a cinch.
Let's roll the tape!

But if he spent 2 minutes looking at his list he'd see that Dido should be # 1 - not # 40!!
Thanks Jamie - great stuff....for a Yorkshireman. ;o)

Sue has been doing it for years and you won't believe some of the increase stories and photos of her clients losing weight. Check out the success stories here.
Anyhow, after a pie too many I've started getting fit and will be losing weight over the next 10 weeks or so.
Thanks Sue!

My wife and I just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and made a quick trip back to where we spent our wedding night.
Now that's romance!
My Irish mate Seamus has a wedding band in Northern Ireland and kindly sent me down a CD with the most popular wedding songs on it.
You can hear Seamus and his band on their wedding band site.
Very smooth sound.
Anyway, I have to get back to it. Tons of work to do on Tailored.com.au to finish it off for the launch.
Cheers

These guys give brilliant motorbike training - making you safe on the road with 1-1 training.
I know not a lot of people are looking for motorbike training, but if you are here on the Gold Coast you can't go past the Q-Ride gurus at AMA.

I'm in the middle of a couple of simple sites - Gold Coast termites and Gold Coast plumbers sites.
I'd highly recommend Wordpress for anyone looking for a functional effective site.
You really can't go wrong.

You can do this via:

Brendon
]]>And that means we have lots of different opportunities to write something that resonates with our reader.
Michelle Gaby has a refrigerated transport on Gold Coast business near our offices and read my blog post about the 8 Business Lessons from the Governor's Hooker.
Because that article made Michelle sit up and take notice it was enough to have her call us.
You need just one thing to resonate with your target audience enough to generate a lead.
Putting things out in the marketplace - like blog entires, newsletters, AdWords, flyers, direct mail and more - are things we can all do to try and make that all important connection to the prospect.
Are you doing enough?

We're riding to support the great work of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia.
We'd love any support you can provide and have set up a donation page over at the ride web site: www.perthtoparadise.com.au.
Thanks.

]]>Get yourself a publicist.
Here's one I prepared earlier!
This is Chelsea Mclean - Chelsea does mainly book publicity now (she's in the middle of a year off right at this minute).
Chelsea got us more:
* credibility
* work
* money
than you can poke a stick at.
A publicist gets you thinking differently. You start to see the angles in what you're doing.
The credibility some decent PR provides you is invaluable.
We had Chelsea on a retainer and our retainer would have been something like $20 in for every $ 1 spent with her.
Find someone young, hungry and who understands tech stuff.
Cheers
