6 Ways to Get Your Visitors To Contact You From Your Contact Us Page
Along with the About Us page, your Contact Us page is one of the most important and crucial pages on your site to get right. In fact, the Contact Us page could be considered the absolutely most important page. Even if the rest of your site succeeds in the goals, if visitors fail to find the information they need to contact you then you will bring their shopping experience to a screeching halt. Shoppers are often hampered if they don't feel they can get a hold of a real person or are limited in their contact options. With all other areas of the site working, a bad contact us page may cause someone to think twice about purchasing with you altogether.

Surviving the downturn and coming out of it stronger
Surviving the downturn and coming out of it stronger I discussed in another about being trapped in your business and ways you can approach that issue. This was in response to my bell weather phone calls to businesses in June where some businesses were expressing concerns about business prospects.

Tips on writing a Franchise Business Plan
Over 90% of franchisees in the UK run profitable businesses according to the annual national survey carried out by the British Franchise Association, so its easy to see why many of the well know high street banks have confidence in new franchise businesses.

Should Your Business Consider Franchising?
If you are serious about building a substantial business you should benchmark your progress against global industry peers not just your local competition. You will soon find that franchising offers the opportunity to build truly national and global businesses on a scale that your non-franchised competition just cannot match. Many of the worlds most successful companies such as Coca Cola, Shell, Toyota, BP, Ford, Pepsi, General Motors and of course KFC and McDonald's have built domestic and global brands using franchising as a management and marketing tool far outstripping the enterprise value of their non-franchised counterparts. A franchise network spanning national (and potentially international) markets offers better diversification and insulation from localised economic or competitive forces and early access to high-growth markets.
