Riding out the Postal Strike
14 10 2009
The impending strike by Royal Mail could be a disaster for small businesses that rely on the postal service to deliver goods or cheques.
Many Ebay sellers will be affected if the strike goes ahead. Demand is said to be high for alternative courier services and especially for guaranteed Royal Mail services like Special Delivery.
Small businesses must face the fact that they will be impacted by the postal strike and those that depend on the Royal Mail must communicate with their customers in advance to ensure that espectations are realistic.
Most customers will be entirely reasonable so long as they are not led to believe something which could never happen, i.e. a prompt delivery of documents, cheques or goods.
With a little planning, the postal strike could be a marketing success, or if events are left to take their natural course then some companies may face serious problems when their mail doesn’t arrive.

Anyone Can Make A Facebook App and $$$
11 10 2009A new Facebook application offers ordinary users the opportunity to build their own applications.
App Bank has a simple and intuitive interface which means that non-programmers now have the tools build a Facebook app themselves without engaging the services of a professional.
AppBank is free to use and even pays people to create applications with it. According to AppBank their top-earner makes $769 a month. At the moment only users in the USA and Canada can take advantage of the revenue stream from Facebook advertising but that is sure to change in the future.
Whilst AppBank provides the tools to build a facebook app, there will be many businesses where they will still want to hire someone to do this for them. This will enable new companies to provide these development services where ideas people don’t need costly programmers to build their envisioned application.
If you want a Facebook application created for your company, get in touch with Simon Says Media.
With a hat tip to MomGadget.

Murdoch tries £50 a year Times club
6 10 2009
From the Independent:
“News International has launched a paid membership scheme connected to its Times newspaper titles, as the latest bid to combat the decline in industry revenues by targeting new revenue streams.
The group, headed by Rupert Murdoch, yesterday launched Times+ which provides members with access to special events, offers and meetings with the titles’ journalists for £50 a year. Subscribers to the newspapers will not be charged.”
The newspaper business is still getting to grips with a landscape of online content that is free to access. The new club from the Times allows the paper to leverage its existing assets.
