  • Thoughts On: Branding

    I found this surfing online while researching a 4Sight slot for 4Networking in Falkirk, I was doing my slot on branding and seeing this really blew me away at how easy it was for me to identify ALL the letters. Now remember most aren't even the company logos just part of their brand name. It was inspiring and really got me thinking about how much time i spend establishing my business as a brand. I do really want that, for my company name to...

  • Ladies, Ladies, Ladies

    We need volunteers!
    I want to hold a ladies night in the shop to allow women to look at some of the clothing we have to offer and see what you think about everything from sizing, colour choice, fit etc, possibly with small groups of 2 or 3 folks, so do it in a group of friends.
    We don't have a date set yet but once we have about 10/15 names we'll start to organise when the evenings will be, but it will happen between the...

  • What Networking Group? Part 1
    As you may have guessed from a few of my posts, i'm a big fan of networking. I think all small businesses should give it a try. It's helps you get to know other businesses in the area that may not necessarily come to directly. Also other businesses that know you and can refer your name on to their contacts is always a bonus for you.

    So, it's your first time networking and you've heard folks talking about a few different groups, which one do you try? Well here's an unbiased, sales pitch...

  • Spotlight On - Keeping Warm
    We've had a lot of customers coming in trying to get things to wear to keep themselves and their staff warm since we can't seem to shift this snow and cold.

    So here are my top five items for keeping yourself toasty:

    The folks back in the 30's and 40's knew how to prepare.
    two.
