Marketing tips when starting a business
Small business consultant, Linda Hailey, gives some marketing tips to holistic counsellor, Rhona Rafferty. Linda says Rhona needs to make a list of everyone she knows, and to tell them all about her business a month before she intends to start. She should mention her rates and to also call those she knows well.
Start up – technology parks
If you’re looking for ways to ease the start-up phase or grow your business through innovation, technology parks and business incubators are a good place to start.

Dr Frazer says a good sleeping routine can be achieved by going to bed at a regular time, keeping your temperature low, getting sunlight each day and keeping coffee consumption down.
