			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h1><span style="font-size: medium;">Talented Website Builder Shocks Community By Giving Away a Free Website, Free Domain Name, Free Website Hosting, Free Website Design, and Free Support</span></h1>
<p>”As a Limited Time Market Test, Improve Online Sales Is Giving Away Over £9,000 in a Website Design Package to People Who Respond to This As By October 21, 2009”</p>
<p>St Albans Hertfordshire – A local website designer has decided to “give away the farm” by offering over £9,000 in free website design to attract new clients.</p>
<p>Ed Green, General Manager of Local Business Builders.com says, “Traditionally, sales are down at this time of the year for most web designers. This unfortunately forces most web designers to lay their workers off.  This causes problems when web design companies start selling their services again when the peak season starts up again because they have to hire a whole “unskilled” work force.</p>
<p>We make it a priority to keep our top experienced designers on staff.  That’s why we have the most professionally designed websites available.  We would rather not make money, or even take a loss and keep our highly skilled team together than to scurry around at the beginning of the peak season to find good help like most other web designers do.</p>
<p>We Make It a Priority To Keep Our Top Experienced Designers On Staff This is a limited time offer and is only open to people call by October 21, 2009.  Green states, “Frankly, this is the best time for anyone who is thinking of getting a website designer for their business.</p>
<p>To learn more about this limited time special offer call:</p>
<p>0800 4457443  24/7 for a FREE RECORDED MESSAGE!</p>
<p>Find out how you can get a free website for your business. All callers will be seen on a first come first served basis only. No exceptions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>AROUND 20 000 people are expected to turn up for this years annual firework display in Verulamiuim park.</p>
<p>This years event on Saturday, November 5 promises to be one of the biggest and most spectacular yet with 30 minutes worth of fireworks set off to a musical backdrop around Verulamium Lake. A stage show and funfair at Westminster Lodge will add to the evening&#8217;s entertainment.</p>
<p>The show is organised by St Albans Abbey with all proceeds from the event going to the abbey and the british Legion.</p>
<p>Entry to the park is by gates at St Michael&#8217;s Church, Kingsbury Mill, The Fighting Cocks, Westminster Lodge and King Harry Lane. Gates open at 6.00pm and the firework display starts at 7.30pm.</p>
<p>Advance tickets are on sale from the Alban Arena on 01727 844488. Ticket prices are £1 for a child (up to 16) and £5 for an adult. Car Parking is limited at the site. Do yourself a favour and park outside and walk to Westminster Lodge with the others. The atmosphere is great and you wont have the parking horrors and probably enjoy the display more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Internet citizens and anyone who has used email for any length of time knows that they have to be on the alert for unwanted emails.  This suspicion is one of the reasons it is difficult to use unsolicited emails for internet marketing any more.  Instead a far more effective method is to create excitement in customers you already know is through some promotion that they want to hear about in their email box.  And when they are excited to see your emails arrive, they will be sure to add your business email address to their favored email contacts list and you will have circumvented the spam software problem that has been the cause of your email delivery problems all along.</p>
<p>There are many ways to generate excitement in your customer base but perhaps no other one is so additive for your customers as a contest.  For the cost of a small prize, people will work tirelessly to satisfy the terms of the contest.  And by structuring the contest so the customers must get their clues via email, you are opening that door of email communications for future promotions and marketing.  That alone might be worth the price of the prize.</p>
<p>The great thing about creating a contest is you can structure how it works to take the customers to your web site or have them collect clues that are directly related to y our products or services and the contest itself can become a big marketing &#8220;commercial&#8221; that the customers want to be part of.  A contest, along with the obvious value of helping to resolve your email deliverability problems, can serve to generate web site traffic and energize a sluggish site or a function on your web site that you want to see get more attention.</p>
<p>Do you have a blog that isn&#8217;t getting enough traffic?  Hide a clue on it and challenge the contestants to come and search for that clue.  Want to see a banner ad get more clicks, let the contestants know the next clue is hidden behind that banner ad and then put the clue on your affiliates page.  The clicks to that banner or affiliate link will skyrocket.  You can often cover the costs of the promotion and the prize through the increased traffic to your web site entirely.</p>
<p>An online contest can also help drive business to a brick and mortar retail operation that you may be using your web presence to support.  This is a wonderful way to meet your online customers face to face by using the contest to take the customers to your store to look for a clue. As they move through the aisles of the store, in addition to eagerly looking for the next step of the contest, they will be shopping and very often, buying things which is exactly what you are looking for.</p>
<p>A contest that you set off via email is also a powerful viral marketing tool.  Your customers will naturally tell their friends and relatives about the contest.  And as more people hear about the contest, you may see a surge of requests to join in on the fun coming through your online message services.  Just be sure to take those customers to an email registration so you can harvest their email addresses and get your business email placed on their favored contacts list too.  In that way you cleverly expand your marketing base while drawing new customers to your web site.</p>
<p>You may find that once you get started having contests via email and contests that incorporate every aspect of your online presence, it might become a habit you want to repeat often.  The increased traffic, sales and expansion of your customer base can be so lively that there is no reason not to use this marketing tool often.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you have ever used a mass mailing email marketing campaign, you know how they promote their services.  The appeal is that, in theory, the service has collected a large amount of valid email addresses that they guarantee will go to real  potential internet customers.  For a fee, they will take your marketing message and broadcast it to that large customer base and the outcome will be that you will see a percentage of those customers visit your web site or respond to the email and from that percentage, a smaller percentage will become paying customers of yours.</p>
<p>There are two problems with this marketing model.  The first one is that no matter how you dress it up, by buying into that kind of marketing program, you are becoming a spammer.  Now, it is bad enough that the explosion of spam in the email world has made life difficult for the average cyber citizen and that those cyber citizens are the human beings you want to turn into your customers.  But a by product of spam has also made life a lot harder for you and I, the average internet marketing business person.</p>
<p>Life has gotten harder for us because of spam because of the reactionary explosion of spam filtering software being used by internet citizens and ISPs as well and those filtering programs are aggressive and successful which means many of your emails never make it to the customers but disappear into spam holding tanks to eventually be deleted.  So because of this fresh problem, email delivery failures have skyrocketed which has seriously harmed the value of email marketing which is what we were hoping to use to prosper our online businesses in the first place.  Ironic, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>The second problem with that marketing model is that the large email mailing list that the service brags about is of dubious value.  For one thing, you may or may not know how they harvested those emails.  The odds that every one of those email addresses is a valid customer email are very low.  You have low confidence in that mailing list and the only thing that makes up for that low confidence is the huge number of email addresses that they have on that mailing list.</p>
<p>A large mailing list is not a good mailing list if it results in a low percentage of new customers, customers who purchase at low basket totals and customers who do not return for repeat sales.  This is why a new marketing model is called for that abandons the mass mailing approach and abandons your participation in spam which only makes you an accessory to the crime.</p>
<p>That new marketing model calls for you to look to your existing customer base of clients who are already active users of your products and services and begin to build a much smaller but much higher value email mailing list of customers you actually know and that you know are high volume buyers who come back again and again to buy from you.  This approach to building your email list starts at the end, with customers who already fit the profile of what you are looking for and it builds out from there.</p>
<p>You can use that solid customer base to then build a larger customer base that will also be loyal customers who will return solid sales to you for your efforts.  Through referrals, viral marketing, contests  and give aways, you can excite your customer base to share their love of your products and your web site and bring in like minded friends and family members who will then become part of your high quality mailing list as well.  Then you repeat the process and build your mailing list slowly over time.</p>
<p>This process results in a much smaller mailing list but one that you can be confident that they will respond to your emails.  Whereas working with a mass marketing service, you may see a 1% response rate and a 1% sales rate from that response group, you can look for a much higher percentage of response and sales from your high quality email contact list because you already know them and you know they will come back again and again to buy from you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I have been out and about this week with some of my clients in Potters Bar and for those you you that don&#8217;t know the area it isn&#8217;t far form my stomping ground of St Albans. The topic of conversation was the <strong>&#8220;credit crunch&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I seems that the media has a lot of small business owners worried about the impending recessoin that is almost certainly going to grip us all. If the Banks dont earn and spend money it wont trickle down to the small business owners and when you start to think about possible consequences you have a &#8220;universe&#8221; type situation meaning where can it end.</p>
<p>I ma just here today to say that YOU need to start planning now. It is  like a flood coming, you dont sit and wait you start to sandbag your property. So start &#8220;sandbaging&#8221; your business now.</p>
<p>One quick thought on this is to employ an autoresponder to keep in contact with your past, present and future customers and clients. It works by capturing thier email address and contact information for you to send a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly newsletter to promote your business.</p>
<p>I can hear you wondering how you can do it? Well we can set it up for you. a list of 9000 people cab probably earn a business an extra 15% of turnover every month, automatically.</p>
<p>Whatever you do the Credit Crunch is here now, the recession id coming, plan ahead to weather the storm dont get caught.</p>
<p>If you need to talk about this call me on 01727 856244</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>You may be interested in this intensive training if</em></strong></span></p>
<p>You’ve attempted to create a website and/or market yourself online, and you’ve had little success or added revenue</p>
<p>Your competition is marketing themselves online and you need to keep a competitive edge against them</p>
<p>Traditional advertising is losing its effectiveness and costing you more money than it earns</p>
<p>You have an employee, or want to hire an employee to maintain your website, keep a company blog, or promote your company online</p>
<p>You want to capitalize on the HUGE opportunity with social media like videos, podcasts, online radio, and social networks</p>
<p>You plan to outsource your online marketing and want a basic education in key strategies so you can effectively manage them without being taken advantage of or getting confused.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>IF THE MAJORITY OF YOUR MARKETING IS NOT ONLINE IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS IT COULD PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS </strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Over the next three years 66% of offline businesses, from small businesses and sole proprietorships to large public corporations, will move the majority of their marketing online.</p>
<p>This includes your competitors.</p>
<p>Add to this the fact that 60% of companies find online marketing more efficient and profitable than traditional marketing AND that 74% of businesses plan to increase their online spending over the next three years…</p>
<p>If you’re not establishing your presence online and effectively grabbing your online market share, then your competitors will steamroll you over the coming years.</p>
<p><strong>But not to worry! We’ve got you covered.</strong></p>
<p>Because we know that you’re already swamped with your day-to-day business responsibilities.</p>
<p>So we’re going to tell you the exact step-by-step tasks you need to do to get your company online and get the most ROI out of the least effort, time, and money.</p>
<p>We’ll even show you how to get someone else to do it for pennies on the pound.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>Do you know that the first ten results in any online search get 98% of the traffic—and the one 2-second change you can make to your website to beat out most of your competitors?</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Do you know how to keep visitors on your website longer, and convince them to contact you, make a purchase, or sign up for an email list?</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>There is a way to get 100+ websites linking back to yours in as little as three days. And for free. Do you know what it is?</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>We have an arsenal of free and low-cost tools that save us hundreds of hours of time, automate a lot of our tasks, and drastically increase our bottom line. Do you know what any of them are?</p>
<p>How many people visit your site each day? How long do they remain, and what pages do they visit? How many do you capture as an email address or a sale? Most importantly… Do you know how to test elements of your site to improve all those statistics?</p>
<p>We’ll show you how to easily gather and track all this vital information, show you the vital tools you need and how to use them, and give you invaluable tips that will revolutionize your website and its visibility in a matter of days.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>WE’LL REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR BUSINESS IN A SINGLE DAY – GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>We know what we’re doing. And we’ve helped dozens of companies get on track online. Our intensive trainings are better than anything else you’ll see out there. We just know it.</p>
<p>Because not only do we show you exactly how to do things like:</p>
<p>• Reverse engineer your competition’s website and marketing strategies<br />
• Get 1st page rankings on Google in as little as a few hours<br />
• Conduct an entire search engine optimization campaign successfully without knowing ANYTHING about search engines or marketing to them<br />
• Increase your website’s conversions by 200% or more<br />
• Get instant traffic to your website with Google Adwords<br />
• Capitalize on social media sites and tools for explosive traffic and sales</p>
<p>But we also give you the most comprehensive home-study workbook and Post-Training Materials ever created for traditional businesses to market themselves online – EVEN IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ZERO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE INTERNET!</p>
<p>Everything is covered step-by-step and we refer you to hundreds of free tools, resources, and additional free training if you’re interested.</p>
<p>Best of all, we keep each Intensive Training intimate and small. A maximum of 20 attendees. [FEEL FREE TO ALTER THIS NUMBER] This way, we can spend time on YOUR business and workshop your website, current promotional efforts, and anything else you’d like us to help you with.</p>
<p>This is priceless. We sit with each attendee and go over a particular aspect of their online marketing or website and provide actionable advice and answers that will increase conversions, reduce costs, and solve challenges.</p>
<p>Not only will you receive these benefits for your own company, but you’ll benefit from the advice we give to every other business in attendance – questions you never thought to ask, and challenges you’ll one day face and will now prevent or know exactly how to solve.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>BUT YOU MUST ACT QUICKLY!<br />
SPOTS ARE LIMITED AND THIS IS<br />
OUR LAST TRAINING THIS QUARTER</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, every second you aren’t marketing yourself effectively online is costing you money, market share, and opportunity costs. Your competition is online and with the new developments in social media, video promotion, and more, they can quickly and easily grab enormous segments of your buying audience. Due to the intimate nature of social media, the relationships your competitors build with your audience will be hard to break.</p>
<p>In this day and age, once you lose a prospect to a competitor, they will be hard to win back.</p>
<p>So will it be your company that gets the large chunks of your audience that is currently up for grabs, or will your competition get them, effectively putting you out of business?</p>
<p>“How Could That Put Me Out of Business?”</p>
<p>Because the bulk of your market is spending its time online. Up to 83% of internet users! And 73.1% of all Americans are internet users. You lose out on that large a piece of your market, while the other companies in your industry are grabbing them up, and yes – within three years, you’ll likely go out of business.</p>
<p>We’re not trying to bum you out here! But these are the statistics and facts we face and our marketing firm takes pride in the fact that we’re doing something about it and helping prevent any negative repercussions from these wonderful new developments online!</p>
