How to Assess What to Sponsor in Your Marketing Mix

An increasingly common form of promotional activityeven at local and grassroots level is sponsorship.

However there are many kinds of sponsorship:

Networking - a 20 minute job?

When I decided to become self employed in 1993, I had no idea what to expect.

Posting comment's to an NiS member's wall

May I suggest that comments posted to someone's wall are good, as long as it is restricted and used only as a commendation or a general reference to encourage trust, confidence and business referrals between members.

All other communications should be sent as a direct NiS message AFTER you have "connected as friends" or by private email.

Regards etc, Arnie Fabius

'any commercial agreement where a sponsor contractually provides financing or other support, in order to establish an association between the sponsor's image, brands or products, and a sponsorship property (club, event or athlete/player), in return for the rights to promote this association and/or…

A start up to help the self employed

Hi,


I'm trying to get a new web tool off the ground for self employed workers and wanted to know if there was any interest from members on how to work out monthly self employed taxes..


I know what it's like to be self employed and the biggest 'tax challenge' each month was trying to work out how much money should be kept aside each month to pay taxes. There's no easy tool out there to help self employed workers to get this magic number and it's…

Modern Technology - Travelling by public transport!

On Tuesday 3rd August 2010 I am/was planning my trip to Slough to see a new client.
