Economic activity rebounded in 2010, driven by strong agricultural production and a dynamic private sector,” said IMF’s Domenico Fanizza during a press briefing on their mission to Kenya to conduct a review under the extended credit facility.

Family Business Learning Center helps balance work and business

0 comments By admin Filed in Banking and Finance, Business, Family, Retail and Services April 12th, 2011 @ 4:44 pm

Managing a family and work is always difficult. And managing a family and a business is even tougher. When you are in business, it is primarily your responsibility to look after the work, meet the datelines, interests of your client, and you must also manage the employees efficiently. You will need to manage the finances and do the tax planning as well. You will definitely be busy, but you should still somehow manage to find the time for parenting too. Your child will want your company, and you cannot deny him/her, no matter how busy you are. Balancing business/work and family is definitely not easy, and any help is certainly welcome. The Family Business Learning Center of Vancouver is offering this help now, and making things a bit easier for the family business.
Traditionally, family businesses have not been managed professionally. But all that is history now. These days, family run businesses are going for good governance, investment and estate planning, and even succession plans. Family leadership is welcome, but these enterprises are open to getting professional inputs as well. Many members of the family also have professional training. Read more

How has direct mail marketing benefited businesses?

0 comments By admin Filed in Banking and Finance, Business, IT and Technology, Marketing and Consulting, Retail and Services, United Kingdom Tagged with January 7th, 2011 @ 4:30 pm

Direct Mail Marketing is all about focusing on the establishment of a healthy communication between the manufacturers and the users of a particular product or service. In this method of communication links can be formed through the practice of using ‘snail mail’ or conventional paper mail and allows the manufacture to communicate on a one-to-one level. While many businesses are relying less and less on traditional direct mail for online marketing. It is still important to develop a strong direct mail program that directs new customers to your business and one that complements your e-commerce programs.

The use of direct mailing has occurred in many different situations. Stores for instance make use of direct mail to advertise new products or to distribute coupons. Charities also use direct mail in order to raise money, recruit volunteers, advertising and to broadcast awareness. Read more
