    Marketing help/advice

    I also run an eCommerce website on a relatively small scale. I have found SEO to be the best method for increasing traffic / sales. I am in a different market to you and although we do have a Facebook page, it does not generate any sales. It is probably under utilised to be fair. Twitter...

    Need a small bit of help with what is probably a very simple question! I purchase products from a manufacturer and sell to the public and also to trade via my website. It's simple enough to work out the total cost of each product (actual cost, shipping, PayPal transaction fees, packaging...

    Online Retail - Should I offer a guarantee?

    After 6 weeks, for most people it's done it's job and is of no further use. Of the current range of products on offer to solve the particular problem, most would suffer quality wise and in general I would get a lot of enquiries along the lines of "does your product really work? will it solve my...

    Online Retail - Should I offer a guarantee?

    I run a company which sells products online as well as through a small number of local pharmacies. Our market is approx 65% UK and 35% Ireland. Small bit of background on the product..... It's the premium product in a very small niche, which I import from the US. Although the product will...

    Register365.ie

    I need to get an eCommerce website setup and have approached some companies in the field. From the couple of prices I have received so far it looks like the ball park price would be €2000 - €2500.

    Buy US Dollars now or on arrival?

    We'll be travelling to New York in November and am wondering is it generally handier to convert Euro to USD and bring cash with you or withdraw cash from an ATM in the US? What do most people do? I'm not trying to time the best exchange rate, just from a logistical point of view what do most...

    Condenser Tumble Dryer

    Have a Miele one which is quite good. Well it has given no trouble in approx. 4 years anyway. I would advise getting one which has the option of piping the condensed steam (water to you and me!) to drain rather than having to empty a drip tray regularly which I found a pain until I piped it to drain

    Self Employed Status of RTE Broadcasters

    I would have thought that if a company has a regular contract with multiple companies (RTE, Independent Newspapers, etc, etc,) then the director of the first company can hardly be considered to be an employee of any of the latter from a taxation or any other point of view. The problem arises...

    Self Employed Status of RTE Broadcasters

    Same with radio presenters as far as I know. Ian Dempsey for example is a contractor in that he is a director of his own limited company who provide services to Today FM. As noted previously though, these types of contractors (radio / TV) would be engaged in other promotional activities etc...
