NEW GLOBAL 

OPPORTUNITIES 

JIM STORM’S 

WEATHER 

REPORT 

Until quite recently, 

new technology was 

expensive, but things have changed. 

Although the price of first-generation 

products used to make it difficult, if not 

impossible, for small businesses to take a 

chance on an untested product, many 

technology manufacturers, driven by a 

post-recession need for cash and lots of 

competition, are bringing products to 

market at lower-than-ever prices. Now 

inexpensive technology is available to 

help you cut your costs, boost your 

productivity and, most importantly, 

optimise your profits. Here is a roundup 

of some of the latest trends. 

Storing it in the clouds 

Cloud computing is the delivery of 

computing as a service rather than as a 

product, whereby shared resources, 

software and information are provided to 

computers and other devices as a utility 

(like the electricity grid) over the Internet. 

Cloud computing provides computation, 

software applications, data access, data 

management and storage resources 

without requiring cloud users to know the 

location and other details of the 

computing infrastructure. It is of 

particular use as a way of backing up and 

storing data. It allows you to combine 

office, mobile, Web-based and even 

home-based storage options to achieve 

near automatic caching of data on 

everything from your smart phone to your 

film collection. Set yourself up with a 

cloud and you will be able to both store 

material and share critical files with your 

co-workers, staff, suppliers and 

customers. 

Printing without a PC 

Years ago, before departing on a business 

trip, I used to cram my suitcase with 

documents that I thought I might need. 

Nowadays, I simply upload them to my 

iPhone or iPad. If I need a copy while on 

my travels, I arrange to print them at my 

hotel, a local photocopy shop or 

whichever business I am visiting. 

This is thanks, of course, to the fact that 

so many printers are Wi-Fi-enabled these 

days. You can now stop packing that 

paper… 

At the touch of a finger 

New technology means that desktop 

computers, printers and more can all be 

managed by the touch of a finger. And it 

barely costs anything. A touch-controlled 

monitor that could be used to create, for 

instance, a low-cost interactive kiosk can 

be purchased for under £300. Look for 

something called the Viewsonic VX 2258 

if you are interested. 

Zero Client PCs 

Tech savvy companies that need more 

desktop computers but don’t want to 

spend big for the firepower should 

consider a different breed of machine: 

Zero Client PCs. These cheap, small units 

are, quite frankly, weaklings on the 

processing front – until you network them 

to a full-powered computer nearby. Why 

spend money on lots of individual hi-spec 

computers when one will do? 

Voice control 

Voice recognition tools have come on in 

leaps and bounds, allowing you to control 

all your technology, including phones and 

computers, by the sound of your voice. 

An excellent way to speed up your 

productivity. 

Automatic writing 

Believe it or not, there is now a piece of 

software that will take a random series of 

thoughts, numbers and words and turn 

them into plain-English statements. The 

company is called Automated Insights. It 

specialises in something called 

‘automated authoring’. 

New business ideas 

The old ones are the best 

As regular readers will be aware, I have 

always loved the idea of taking a product 

that no one wants and turning it into 

something profitable. One sector where I 

feel there are huge opportunities to 

achieve this is that of second-hand 

technology, and in particular second-hand 

computers. Even in these recessionary 

times, people are changing their personal 

computers at an alarming speed. By the 

same token, companies also upgrade their 

whole computer systems with remarkable 

frequency. The result? An awful lot of 

second-hand PCs get scrapped. Is there a 

market for them? Yes, there is. Some 

companies buy them, break them up and 

recycle the parts. Others ship them 

overseas to developing countries, where 

they get refurbished and sold. But I think 

that there is an even bigger and more 

lucrative market to be had closer to home. 

There are so many students, consumers 

and small businesses who need better 

technology and yet either can’t afford it or

end up spending more than they have to 

because they don’t see that a second-hand 

computer would do them just as well. 

There are probably enormous numbers of 

students who would like to get extra 

experience in the IT sector. I propose 

buying up second-hand PCs and repairing 

and upgrading them using student labour 

and then selling them to other students, 

consumers and small businesses. The 

idea, I have to tell you, is not entirely my 

own. There is a firm called Inquo doing 

this in a place called West Jordan, Utah. It 

isn’t, actually, reselling the second-hand 

computers: it is giving them away. But the 

concept is almost the same and you may 

like to look at the company’s website to 

get a feel for the potential of this 

particular business (http://inquo.com/). 

Online pawn 

I have written in this column many times 

about the new wave of pawnshops, such 

as Cash Converters. Now they seem to be 

moving online. Recently, I came across 

Pawngo, an online pawnshop. Just like 

any traditional licensed pawnbroker, 

Pawngo secures loans against items of 

value or buys the items outright. Users 

enter a description of their item and 

Pawngo’s team of experts makes an offer 

based on an estimated resale value. If the 

user accepts the offer, he or she provides 

proof of identity and ships the item to the 

company’s Denver headquarters. Once it 

is received, the money is automatically 

transferred to the user’s account. Eighty 

thousand people a month visit the Pawngo 

site. Furthermore, since its launch in 

2010, it has paid out nearly $2 million to 

clients in 46 states. Loans range from 

$250 to $50,000. The average is about 

$1,800. The company charges interest of 

3% to 6% depending on the item and the 

size of the loan. Towards the end of last 

year, Pawngo also launched a smallbusiness 

lending programme that can 

make up to $1 million available in 24 

hours with no credit check based on the 

resale value of the client’s merchandise. 

Interestingly, Pawngo requires no 

principal payments until the end of the 

loan period. 

iFLY with my little eye 

Here is a bizarre concept. It is called iFLY 

(www.iflysfbay.com), a franchise that 

operates high-powered vertical wind 

tunnels in which users can practise 

skydiving techniques or just bop around 

on a column of air. It is not a cheap 

concept to launch. Indeed, it could cost 

you as much as £5 million. On the other 

hand, iFLY has proved so successful in 

America that the original operator 

reckons that if it is located in the right 

place one could almost keep it busy a full 

24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. The 

only overseas franchisee is in Singapore. 

Poo Prints 

There is no getting round what this 

business does: Poo Prints uses DNA 

samples to track down dogs that have – 

um – done their doggy business where 

they shouldn’t have. Why would you want 

to know what dog has produced which 

waste matter? Well, the company that 

came up with the concept signs contracts 

with community associations, property 

management companies and local 

governments, hoping to keep their local 

parks and pavements clear of pet waste. 

Poo Prints then collects DNA swabs from 

all the dogs in the neighbourhood and 

Biopet adds them to a database. The next 

time an unexpected present is found, a 

small sample is sent to Biopet, where it is 

compared on the database, the culprit is 

revealed and the owner is given a fine. Of 

course, until recently, people didn’t realise 

how bad dog waste was. It is a huge 

health and environmental issue. This 

looks like a growth business. 

Seniors Helping Seniors 

If you are looking for an interesting 

business to start or, possibly, a franchise 

business to buy into, consider Seniors 

Helping Seniors. Now twelve years old, 

the company has over 100 franchisees in 

the United States. As its name suggests, 

Seniors Helping Seniors is a care service 

for elderly people who want to carry on 

living in their own home. The big 

difference is that the carers also tend to be 

somewhat older. Anyway, you can quickly 

learn all about the business by visiting 

www.seniorshelpingseniors.com. 

Yucky name, brilliant idea 

The name of the product I am about to tell 

you about is rather odd… some would say 

catchy; I would say rubbish. On the other 

hand, I have a feeling that its inventor, a 

2 

woman called Brandy Jans, has come up 

with something really clever. It is a cream 

that helps heal scratches, insect bites and 

other skin imperfections and at the same 

time conceals their existence. This idea 

hasn’t managed to get any sort of traction 

yet, but I feel it could have huge 

international potential. Although, to be 

candid, I think I would change its name. 

Oh, what is the name? Boo-Boo Cover 

Up. 

The Urban Cultivator 

I am afraid to say for those of us of a 

certain age the phrase ‘hydroponic 

growing’ means only one thing: 

marijuana. However, hydroponic growing 

has huge profitable and entirely legal 

potential that doesn’t involve illicit 

substances. One company that has seized 

this opportunity is called Urban 

Cultivator. Started in 2010, the company 

offers the ultimate growing unit that 

allows professional and amateur chefs to 

produce micro greens, herbs, flowers and 

vegetables in their own kitchen. Its indoor 

hydroponic growing appliances fit under 

a kitchen counter and are, given their 

potential, remarkably inexpensive. 

Time to go 3D 

Has the time come to ditch your digital 

camera? Last year, printer giant Hewlett 

Packard launched the TopShot, a Webenabled 

laser printer that doubles as a 3D 

scanner capable of capturing high-quality 

images of small objects. And while it isn’t 

perfect, it certainly makes it a lot easier to 

produce product photographs. Basically, 

for about £300, the TopShot can scan any 

object that fits inside the printer’s 8.5” by 

11” scanning area. The image is captured 

with a digital camera mounted on a 

pivoting stand. Prop up the stand, place 

your object in the scanning area, click a 

few buttons and the scanner goes to work 

taking photographs from multiple angles. 

Users can then print the resulting image 

or send it to a personal computer. To the 

best of my knowledge, Hewlett Packard 

has managed to produce the first fully 

capable 3D Web printer that also scans, 

prints and copies. It isn’t quick – to be 

honest, it will take you about a minute to 

set up, scan and capture each image – but 

nevertheless it seems to me that this 

product has all sorts of potential for 

anyone interested in setting up a small 

marketing business.

Boudoir photography 

If you are a photographer – or if you 

would like to own a photography business 

– then the hottest new photography niche 

market is known as ‘boudoir’. More 

sensual than erotic – basically it is about 

photographing women – some in lingerie, 

others nude – with the objective of 

producing images that are tasteful and 

glamorous. I think it goes without saying 

that this is not a business which a man 

can run! Each shoot tends to last for 

between two and five hours and includes 

make-up, refreshments, a custom photo 

album and a bag of take-home goodies. If 

you want an idea of what sort of 

photographs you can produce, check out 

an American company that is doing well 

in this particular market called 

Jenerations Photography. Many of the 

customers, incidentally, produce the 

albums as a present for their boyfriends or 

fiancés. 

Rent the Runway 

The founder of Rent the Runway, Jennifer 

Hyman, is a self-admitted shopaholic. 

Three years ago, she and a university 

friend, Jenny Fleiss, came up with the 

idea of renting out designer dresses by the 

likes of Vera Wang and Versace. The 

company charges between £40 and £300 

to rent a dress for a few days. In just two 

years it had grown to 62 employees, 1.5 

million customers and a huge selection of 

dresses from 150 designers as well as 

accessories and handbags. As you can 

imagine, the company has become a 

major player in the fashion business. For 

instance, at any one time it carries nearly 

1,400 dress styles mostly from a 

designer’s current collection. This is a 

business sector that I feel still has vast 

room for growth. And, even if you don’t 

want to rent out dresses, there are 

hundreds of other things that it is possible 

to rent, from watches to cars and from 

handbags to cameras. 

Touch-friendly gloves 

I know that spring is here and the weather 

is getting warmer but I recently came 

across a review of the latest line in handwear. 

On a cold day, removing your 

gloves to use a smart phone can be a 

nuisance. Now there are gloves made with 

material that lets you tap and swipe while 

staying warm. The three options I saw 

reviewed were: 

• Agloves Sport. Considered very touchfriendly, 

these are made of a knitted 

material and free of the bulky seams one 

so often gets in gloves. 

• Grandoe Sensor Touch. Touch-friendly 

nano technology is tanned right into these 

sheepskin gloves. Brilliant but not cheap, 

as they cost up to £95 a pair. 

• Kombi Four-Way stretch gloves with 

grip. A sport option, these polyester 

gloves have a fleece lining and cuff, a 

sticky palm grip and conductive fabric on 

the tips of the index fingers and thumb. 

Local news, national profits 

I was very interested to read a piece about 

a journalist called Jane Quinn, who, 

together with her husband, Carll Tucker, 

launched a community based news 

website called The Daily Norwalk in 

southern Connecticut and then rolled it 

out so that it now has 120 employees and 

produces 51 online dailies right across the 

east coast of America. The secret of their 

success is that they stick to local, relevant 

news. This makes their sites more 

attractive to advertisers. It isn’t rocket 

science and I reckon the concept could be 

made to work in all sorts of other places. 

The Island Company 

I am bringing the Island Company to your 

attention for two reasons. First, it does a 

very nice line in swimsuits, holiday wear 

and sunglasses, which it barely exports. 

And, second, it is a great business story 

and one that you may want to replicate. 

Unlike most fashion businesses, the 

Island Company concentrates on selling 

its products through upmarket hotels in 

America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The 

business was launched after its founder, 

Spencer Antle, decided to take his 

girlfriend on a holiday to the Caribbean 

but couldn’t find her a bikini that she 

really wanted to wear. Antle thought to 

himself, how hard can it be to make one? 

He designed something and got a factory 

in Brazil to make up samples. One thing 

led to another and he decided to launch a 

swimwear range – selling at markets and 

even from the boot of his car. 

Eventually, he began designing other 

clothes, like shorts, again selling them by 

3 

the same method. He broke up with his 

girlfriend but the company has continued 

to grow! It now has 80 employees and six 

shops in holiday spots such as Nantucket, 

Grand Cayman and East Hampton. 

The Lytro 

Here is a product that has a huge 

international market but is only, as far as I 

know, being sold in the US. It is called the 

Lytro (www.lytro.com) and, basically, is a 

camera that you never have to focus. You 

just point the spyglass-shaped device and 

press the button. The camera, which is 

free of shutter lag, immediately captures 

not only the colour and intensity of light 

rays but also their direction. Such data 

lets the user create nearly infinite versions 

of the scene, adjusting the image on the 

camera’s touch screen, online or on a 

computer, using specially created 

software. 

Aero Shot 

We humans have sought new caffeine 

fixes for hundreds of years. But the Aero 

Shot inhaler may be the strangest yet. 

Compress the tube, and it burps a puff of 

lime-flavoured caffeine powder that 

instantly dissolves on your tongue. 

Aruliden Fishscape 

A very clever designer called Johan Liden 

has created a stunningly beautiful fish 

bowl in which the glass comes up out of 

the bottom of the bowl to create a kind of 

fake landscape. As far as I know, he hasn’t 

yet found anyone to sell the product for 

him overseas. Visit Aruliden for more 

information and some of its other very 

interesting products 

(http://aruliden.com/work/projects/arulide 

n-fishscape/). 

The Silverback Starke 

This next-generation bicycle comes with a 

tiny electric generator built into the wheel 

in order to power the bike’s lights, plus a 

USB port on the handlebars. The maker, a 

chap called Deon Retief, wants to become 

the Apple of the bicycling industry. The 

website to visit is 

www.silverbacklab.com. Again, I don’t 

think the company has any international 

distributors.

Team Brain 

Team Brain is a Web-enabled mindmapping 

application that lets its users 

store, categorise and share project-related 

information (documents, notes, images, 

Web links, contacts and even calendar 

alerts) through a visual mind map. It is a 

clever idea because it really enables you 

to show the subtle relationships between 

information. However, for it to work, all 

team members have to contribute. If you 

are trying to build a Web-collaboration 

environment then I believe this product 

could be an excellent place for you to 

start. As far as I can make out, it is 

relatively inexpensive to install… about 

£200 a year. 

IT audit, anyone? 

An IT audit is an in-depth analysis of a 

company’s technical environment, 

including its existing computer 

applications, hardware infrastructure, IT 

plan and IT-related personnel. Such an 

audit usually results in a detailed written 

report and guide that recommend a 

strategic business initiative pertaining to 

improving internal and external IT 

practices and systems. In plain English: 

by having someone who is really 

knowledgeable about IT look at your 

computers, your software and the people 

who use them, it is possible to make 

dramatic improvements both to your 

company’s efficiency and to the bottom 

line. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many 

consultancy firms willing to perform IT 

audits and, to my mind, this opens up a 

huge opportunity for someone with IT 

knowledge to get into the market. The one 

thing to remember is that if you launch 

this sort of consultancy and then try to 

sell your own services you rather do away 

with the idea of any independence or 

credibility. Therefore, I would link up 

with a number of suppliers so that when I 

was finished I could, without appearing 

biased, recommend some external 

suppliers. 

Book review 

At the moment, I am reading All 

Businesses Local: Why place matters 

more than ever in a global, virtual world. 

Do you remember when the term 

‘location, location, location’ referred 

exclusively to maximising foot traffic? 

Marketing today is all about geography, as 

companies try to appeal to local tastes on 

a global scale. This book explains how 

place plays a role in every kind of 

business decision. If you run a 

supermarket, the authors point out, you 

want to be on the side of the street used 

by the most homeward-bound commuters. 

If you have both a physical and a virtual 

presence, you want pricing in the latter 

that doesn’t discourage visits to the 

former. The authors also discuss the 

emotional resonance of place and 

consumers’ willingness to associate 

specific locales with quality. Think 

Germany and cars, for instance. An 

excellent and thought-provoking book. 

The Thing-O-Matic! 

If you have got ten minutes, spend it 

online looking at the MakerBot website 

and see what you make of its primary 

product, the Thing-O-Matic. It costs 

around £1,000 and requires twelve hours 

or more to assemble. On the other hand, 

in the last year the company has sold 

6,000 of this particular product. What is 

it? It is a 3D printer. Basically, it allows 

you to transform digital blueprints into 

physical objects on the spot. How does it 

work? 

MakerBot’s Thing-O-Matic is a userfriendly 

descendant of the rapidprototyping 

machines used by industrial 

designers for years. Such machines can 

produce three-dimensional rough drafts of 

products prior to their mass manufacture. 

The Thing-O-Matic is smaller and 

cheaper than industrial grade machines. It 

stands 16” high and has an area of one 

square foot. 

To use the Thing-O-Matic, you need a 

computer model of what you would like 

to print. The design could be your own 

creation or can be downloaded from 

www.thingiverse.com, a MakerBotrelated 

website where designs are posted 

and made available free to users. In either 

case, the design needs to be loaded into 

MakerBot’s modelling software. 

After hitting ‘print’, a spool of plastic 

thread begins feeding the Thing-O-Matic. 

The thread is heated as it is directed to a 

5” platform at the bottom of the printer. 

One thin layer at a time the hot plastic 

thread, often called the ‘filament’, forms 

4 

the desired object according to the specs 

of the programme. It is rather like 

drawing with a hot glue gun. 

On average, the printing process takes 

about 10 minutes per cubic centimetre. 

The printer simply stops moving once the 

model is complete. There has to be a 

million ways to make money out of this 

extraordinary machine. 

Video interviews 

Face-to-face interviews are often the most 

time-consuming (and frustrating) part of 

the recruitment process. You know that 

half the people you see should never have 

been invited in the first place. A new crop 

of services aims to streamline the process 

by letting you conduct online video 

interviews with candidates. If you are 

interested in this, take a look at: 

www.taketheinterview.com 

greenjobinterview.com 

www.jobon.com 

Again, I think this a useful tool to 

incorporate in one’s own enterprise that 

has potential as a business idea. 

QR! 

Have you noticed those little boxy black 

and white symbols that have started to 

appear on products, publications, 

packaging, business cards, ticket stubs 

and junk mail? They are called QR, or 

quick response, codes. Their purpose is 

simple. You scan them with your smart 

phone and they instantly take you to a 

website. Interestingly, they were originally 

designed for the automotive industry as a 

way to track parts. Basically, they are a 

two-dimensional matrix barcode that can 

hold an enormous amount of alpha 

numeric or binary data. You can create 

QR codes by using a free QR code 

generator. Popular code generators can be 

found in Bitly.com and Goo.gl. Some 

code generators are combined with more 

robust tools and mobile platforms for 

tracking, refining and analysing QR 

campaigns. For example you might check 

out www.3seventy.com or again 

http://44doors.com. To access the codes, 

incidentally, you and your customers will 

need a QR code reader app on a smart 

phone, such as those by Scanlife, 

Redlaser or Quickmark.

WORLD TRADE NEWS 

Welcome to the Wade Trade News 

import–export bulletin for March 2012. As 

ever, we’ll try to bring you some news you can 

use, trade leads you can exploit and links to 

free sites to help you develop your 

import–export skills. This month, we’ve got 

info we hope you’ll find useful from China, 

Brazil and Africa, plus details of a useful 

resource if you’d like to get started 

import–exporting pet products. 

China Luxury Goods Trade Booming 

Opportunities to export luxury goods to China 

are increasing with the news that the country is 

likely to overtake Japan as the main world 

consumer of luxury goods this year. The US 

consulting company Frost & Sullivan also said, 

in its recent survey, that Chinese consumers 

will buy 53% of their luxury goods in China 

itself by 2014 – rather than directly from 

abroad, as is currently the case, rising to 55% 

in 2015. 

Zhu Yue, Consulting Director with Frost & 

Sullivan, explained that currently Chinese 

consumers perceive luxury goods to be much 

more expensive in the domestic market than 

abroad but that a narrowing in the differentials 

between foreign and domestic prices together 

with a reduction in the tax on designer goods 

expected in 2012 would cause domestic 

demand for these products to rise massively. 

The survey also said the highest demand for 

luxury goods in China was for luxury watches, 

leather bags, designer clothes, perfumes and 

cosmetics. 

Brazil–Middle East Trade Growing Fast 

Although worldwide trading opportunities 

with Brazil are booming at the moment, it is 

actually Brazil–Middle East and Brazil–North 

African trade opportunities that are growing 

most of all. 

According to a recent report from the Arab 

Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (CCAB), 

Brazil’s trade with Middle East and North 

African countries increased 28.6% in 2011 to 

reach US$25.13 billion. Exports to those 

countries rose 20.3%, while imports grew 

43.3% over the same period. The CCAB also 

expects Brazil’s trade with Middle East and 

North African countries to rise by 10–15% in 

2012. It says the European financial crisis is 

the main reason, as importers and exporters 

look for alternative markets. 

The CCAB’s chief executive officer, Michel 

Alaby, said that food product exports from 

Brazil showed the most potential for trade 

growth. 

Factfile: Brazil 

Brazil is one of Latin America’s and the 

world’s most successful economies right now. 

As the largest consumer market of the region 

with almost 200 million consumers, the 

chances are high there is a market for your 

product somewhere in Brazil. Brazil is 

something of a land of opportunity for 

importers too. Besides being a huge 

agricultural power (it is the world’s largest 

producer of coffee, sugar cane and oranges to 

name but a few), Brazil is also a big industrial 

country: it is the second-largest exporter of 

iron in the world and one of the main 

aluminium producers. In addition, Brazil has 

the third-most-advanced industrial sector in 

the Americas; key industries include 

automotive products, steel and petrochemicals 

plus computers, aircraft and consumer 

durables. 

All Africa to Become a Free Trade Area? 

Africa could become a continent-wide free 

trade area within five years, if proposals put 

forward by African leaders at the African 

Union Summit recently come to fruition. 

Regional leaders have proposed the new 

trading bloc as a response to falling demand 

from Europe and the USA owing to the global 

financial crisis – and to hedge their bets 

against overdependence on commodity exports 

to India and China. Currently, intra-African 

trade only accounts for 12% of total African 

trade, but experts predict that a new free trade 

area could increase this to 60% in the long 

term. 

Many African countries have weathered the 

global recession relatively well. The continent 

as a whole has enjoyed 5–6% economic 

growth in 2011, with several countries 

growing much more than that. 

Why Not Trade Pet Products? 

Every year, millions and millions of pounds 

5 

are spent on pet products. So if you’re looking 

for a new product range, these could be worth 

considering. For making contacts, take a look 

at what PATS can offer. Virtually the entire pet 

trade comes together under one roof at PATS, 

with over 140 exhibitors representing the best 

of the pet trade – including national and 

multinational brands such as Mars Petcare, 

Trixie, Wagg, Burgess, Merial, Royal Canin & 

James Wellbeloved, Gimborn, Flexi, Burns, 

Company of Animals, Johnsons and Danish 

Designs. PATS Sandown will take place on 

Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st March 2012 

at Sandown Park Racecourse, Esher. PATS 

Harrogate will take place on Sunday 16th and 

Monday 17th September 2012 at Harrogate 

International Centre, Harrogate, North 

Yorkshire. To register for admittance to PATS 

and find other useful websites, visit

International Trade Terms Explained: 

Advising a Letter of Credit 

An advising bank acts as the agent of the 

issuing bank. The function of the advising 

bank is to take reasonable care to verify the 

authenticity of credits received and then 

accurately transmit them to their beneficiaries. 

When advising a letter of credit, the bank 

assumes no other liability. On receipt of the

UK BUSINESS NEWS 

Retail sales rise in January 

Retail sales rose by 0.9% in January 

compared with December, according to 

the latest figures from the Office for 

National Statistics (ONS). The figure was 

much stronger than forecast, as many 

economists had expected sales volumes to 

fall. Sales of furniture and sports goods 

were particularly strong as shoppers were 

tempted by steep discounts. It builds on 

solid December sales when overall volumes 

rose by 0.6% on the previous month. 

UK business confidence growing 

The number of UK businesses planning 

to increase their spending on marketing 

has risen sharply from last year, a survey 

conducted by Mindmetre suggests. Around 

57% of firms plan to boost their marketing 

budget in 2012, while 18.6% plan a cut. In 

2011, 41% planned to increase marketing 

spend and 42% planned to cut back. 

The survey, which covered businesses of 

all sizes, also showed a higher proportion 

of big businesses (those with more than 

1,000 employees) intending to raise their 

marketing budget than small businesses did. 

UK manufacturing growth curbs case 

for more stimulus 

Britain’s manufacturers reported further 

growth in February and, despite a slight 

slowdown, the sector’s recovery is 

reducing the need for more stimulus from 

the central bank as the economy is slowly 

moving out of the danger zone. 

Some Bank of England policymakers, 

including its governor, Mervyn King, are 

playing down the likelihood of another cash 

boost, and news that the sluggish housing 

market is gaining a touch of momentum 

bolstered views that February’s £50 billion 

cash injection may have been the last. 

Manufacturers now seem on course to 

help the economy grow after a 0.8% drop 

in the sector’s output led to a small 

overall contraction in the economy. 

EU to cut costs for small businesses 

Brussels has agreed to radically simplify 

the way in which small businesses 

prepare their accounts, resulting in 

savings of up to 3.5bn (£2.9bn) a year 

for Europe’s entrepreneurs. 

Companies will only having to send their 

simplified accounts to the taxman, who 

would in turn be responsible for passing 

the accounts onto Companies House. Until 

now, in many countries very small firms 

(called in EU jargon ‘micro-entities’) have 

had to file a full set of financial statements, 

including the balance sheet and profit and 

loss account, and in some countries are 

required to disclose this through 

publication in a national newspaper. 

With a further round of simplification in 

the pipeline, the EU reckons the “aggregate 

administrative burden reduction potential 

is estimated at around 6.3bn”. 

Holiday sickness pay 

Workers who become ill during their 

holidays will be legally entitled to extra 

time off work under controversial plans to 

be introduced later this year by Vince 

Cable, the Business Secretary. 

Under the changes to the Working Time 

Directive, time taken off work for sickness, 

maternity and paternity leave must be 

given to workers in addition to their legal 

right to annual leave. So if a worker 

becomes ill during annual leave, employers 

will have to give them the extra time off 

after they have produced a sick note. The 

new legal regulations will be introduced 

in October and the government estimates 

that they will cost employers more than 

£100million annually. 

Ministers claim that the new regime must 

be introduced following several European 

legal judgments. 

The new way to find cash for your 

business 

Cash-strapped businesses could soon be 

given a huge boost thanks to some 

forward-thinking finance providers, who 

have joined forces to create the Next 

Generation Finance Consortium, in a bid 

to aid Britain’s recovery. 

As banks fail to hit their lending targets, 

the group is seeking to change the financial 

landscape in the UK and respond to the 

growing demand for alternative sources of 

business finance. The group will provide 

entrepreneurs and small businesses with 

much-needed advice and support about 

new finance options available to them. It 

will also liaise with government bodies 

and other organisations, lobbying for 

support on key issues related to smallbusiness 

finance. 

To find out more about the Next Generation 

Finance Consortium, visit www.ngfc.org.uk. 

Small firms suffering, large companies 

under fire 

Late payment by big business is having a 

critical knock-on effect, with more than 

60% of small companies admitting that 

they in turn delay paying their suppliers. 

6 

Research commissioned by the Forum of 

Private Business shows that 62% of firms 

say they pay suppliers’ bills late. Of these, 

54% blame the time taken by companies 

they supply to settle their bills. Late 

payment by big business is having a 

critical knock-on effect with more than 60% 

of small companies admitting that they in 

turn delay paying their suppliers. Some 

40% of late payers also blame insufficient 

funds, while another 39% say a lack of 

affordable finance is a contributory factor. 

Almost two-thirds of business owners 

believe the benefits of settling accounts on 

time outweigh the advantages of paying 

late. Business groups warn that late 

payment of bills is adding to the huge 

financial pressures on business owners, 

and they want more to be done to tackle 

the problem. Shockingly, 61% of firms 

report customers extending their payment 

terms without notice or consultation. 

Large companies, including Dell, Carling 

UK and Molson Coors, have all increased 

the length of time before they pay bills – 

sometimes to as much as 90 days. 

The government last year suggested that 

an EU late-payments directive, which will 

make a 30-day standard invoice payment 

compulsory for all businesses, could be 

fast-tracked in Britain. However, it has 

dropped this and is now looking at how 

firms can best be protected under British 

law. The directive will not come into 

force until 2013. 

SME overseas trade to be boosted 

The government is hoping to inspire small 

and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to 

take advantage of overseas trading 

opportunities. According to the Business 

and Enterprise minister, Mark Prisk, the 

government is aware of the importance of 

encouraging and supporting firms that 

are eager to trade outside of their current 

markets. 

The minister remarked: “UK Export 

Finance is supporting SMEs by 

introducing a range of financial support 

for businesses that want to export but can’t 

obtain the finance they need through the 

normal commercial routes.” New online 

registers of advisers will be introduced by 

the government to help organisations 

“protect their intellectual property abroad”. 

“With support from UK Trade and 

Investment [UKTI] we will give 

entrepreneurs the confidence to explore 

new markets and grow their business.” 

UKTI works alongside companies to help 

them ensure their firm is a success in 

international markets and aims to 

encourage the best overseas enterprises to 

look to the UK as their global partner.

Small businesses seeing the benefits of 

flexible working 

SMEs are rapidly converting to flexible 

working, with 76% of workers saying that 

their company works more flexibly than it 

used to, compared with 67% of large 

business workers, according to new research 

from global workplace provider Regus. 

The research confirms that flexible 

working is not just the preserve of large 

corporates, and in fact small businesses 

have embraced flexi-working more 

readily than large ones have. 

The research surveyed over 2,500 senior 

business managers in the UK and it is 

believed to be the first time that independent 

research evidence has validated the causal 

connection between flexible working 

(time and/or place of work) and improved 

productivity/revenue generation. 

Over two-thirds (71%) of small businesses 

report that their productivity has increased 

as a result of flexible working practices, 

and 63% of SMEs also link increasing 

revenues directly to flexi-working. 

Forty per cent of UK businesses suffer 

IT breaches caused by spam 

Newly released research shows that 

businesses are struggling to deal with 

problems caused by spam, and that nearly 

half of them have experienced a data 

breach as a result of employees clicking on 

malicious links or files within spam emails. 

The independent survey – of 201 IT 

decision-makers in UK organisations with 

between 5 and 1,000 employees, conducted 

by Opinion Matters on behalf of GFI 

Software – reveals that the problem of spam 

is not going away. In fact, the delivery of 

and threat from malicious links and files 

is greater than ever before. Phil Bousfield, 

general manager of GFI Software’s 

Infrastructure Business Unit, suggested 

that businesses needed to take advantage 

of all the latest spam-fighting technologies 

available to them. “The most effective way 

to stop spam is to employ a multi-layered 

defence that encompasses on-premise and 

cloud-based anti-spam solutions.” 

Government announces further red 

tape cuts to help small businesses 

Small businesses are likely to benefit 

after the government announced that it 

will be cutting £4.17 million of red tape 

between January and June this year. The 

Department for Business Innovation and 

Skills also revealed that the Third Statement 

of New Regulation shows the success of 

the ‘one-in, one-out’ rule, with a cumulative 

net reduction in regulation since January 

last year. Furthermore, the number of 

regulations reducing costs to businesses 

continue to outweigh the number that 

increase their financial burden.

SUE WADDINGTON’S 

SALES AND MARKETING COLUMN 

As you know, it is normally Jim who 

makes a monthly or bimonthly visit to the 

United States. But, this February, I was 

the member of the editorial team who got 

to travel to the good ole US of A. While I 

was there, I was on the lookout for clever 

marketing ideas and advertisements. Here 

is a roundup of the favourite concepts and 

ideas I spotted. 

1. The Contagion Bacteria billboard. 

Contagion is Steven Soderbergh’s film 

about a mysterious airborne virus. The 

film’s marketing team hired a group of 

microbiologists and immunologists to 

treat a billboard with penicillin, mould 

and pigmented bacteria. It grew, 

thanks to light and temperature 

controls, to spell out the name of the 

movie. It was set up in an abandoned 

storefront window in Toronto, Canada. 

As you can imagine, the sign got the 

most extraordinary publicity for 

almost no marketing budget. Indeed, 

you will find videos of it on YouTube. 

2. Lululemon Athletica’s ambassador 

programme. Instead of copying bigger 

brands like Nike and Adidas and 

spending hundreds of millions of 

dollars on fancy campaigns with star 

athletes, Lululemon Athletica went 

grass roots to generate publicity – and 

major sales of its $100 yoga pants. 

Since it was founded in 1998, the 

company has implemented an 

ambassador programme. This consists 

of recruiting local athletes and fitness 

instructors for free and giving them 

$1,000 in clothing and gear to test. 

These ambassadors wear the brand in 

front of impressionable students and 

lead classes in local stores. In short, 

they have been turning their best 

customers into brand evangelists with 

great success. 

3. Intel’s Museum of Me. To advertise 

the power of its second-generation 

core processor, Intel came up with a 

visually smart campaign. The 

company worked with a Japanese 

digital agency to create the Museum 

of Me. This Facebook app accesses a 

user’s account, scours it for photos and 

content and in a matter of seconds 

displays a polished short film that 

archives the person’s life in a virtual 

gallery. The initiative became a viral 

sensation with more than a million 

hits in five days, all achieved without 

any paid media promotion. 

4. About.Me’s Poster Contest. The 

popular AOL-owned service about.me, 

which enables users to create a 

landing page that aggregates all their 

online profiles, came up with a simple 

but far-reaching contest to raise its 

profile: people who got the most votes 

on their about.me page would win a 

spot on a vast poster site in Time 

Square, New York plus a trip to the 

city to see their prize. Motivated 

contestants got to work tweeting and 

posting on Facebook, driving five 

times the usual amount of visitor 

traffic to about.me. 

5. Spotify’s US launch. When Spotify, a 

music-streaming service that boasts 

more than ten million users in Europe, 

arrived in America, it deployed a 

launch strategy that catapulted it to the 

top of an extremely competitive 

playing field populated by the likes of 

Pandora, Rhapsody and Google 

Music. First, the company focused on 

getting early adopters and influencers 

with high Klout scores to tell everyone 

they knew about the product. Then 

there were the limited beta invites, 

which control the number of free 

subscriptions and elevated demand for 

the service. When September rolled 

around, Spotify joined forces with 

15 

Facebook. By now, the only holdouts 

are probably too afraid to out 

themselves as Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, 

Mick & Tich fans to everyone on their 

social networks. 

6. Methods Commercial. Method is a 

manufacturer of eco-friendly cleaning 

products. When it entered the laundry 

detergent market, it seemed a 

herculean task to change people’s 

buying habits and convince users of 

other detergents that a small, 20oz 

bottle could do fifty loads of laundry, 

especially as it only had a marketing 

budget of $200,000. So Method 

decided that the best way would be to 

enlist the help of customers. The 

company decided to produce a crowdsourced 

commercial, asking people to 

record themselves performing specific 

actions from a storyboard and submit 

these clips for final edit. A total of 

332 consumers participated, along 

with those who showed up for an open 

casting call. When the infinitely 

watchable video aired, it was the 

week’s 93rd-most-viewed YouTube 

clip and resulted in a 68% increase in 

the number of Method’s Facebook 

fans. Anyway, if you search on 

Facebook, you will find the link to the 

commercials. 

7. Perrier’s YouTube campaign. After 

keeping a low profile in North 

America for more than a dozen years, 

Perrier made a big splash last year 

with an edgy digital and social media 

push that captured the attention of a 

younger demographic. The company 

made a series of YouTube videos 

under its melting campaign called Le 

Club Perrier, featuring scantily clad 

dancers partying in a melting night 

club. The scene, it promised, would 

become sexier, steamier and wilder as 

more viewers tuned in and additional

videos were unlocked. More than 11.5 

million viewers took the rather 

attractive bait. 

Are you making the most of email? 

Email should be an essential part of any 

Internet-marketing strategy. If you have 

someone’s email address, you can send 

them information directly. It is absolutely 

crucial, though, that the recipient has 

agreed to receive the information you 

want to send. Remember that email is a 

relatively cheap, but powerful, 

communications tool – you can send 

thousands of email newsletters in a 

simple, cost-effective way. It also allows 

you to keep in regular contact with 

customers and to build up a rapport with 

them. Never, however, send unsolicited 

emails (spam). Email should only deliver 

worthwhile information. Anyway, I 

thought I would just answer a few of the 

frequently asked questions about email 

and make a couple of suggestions. 

How often should you contact your 

customers? 

Email is a fast, simple and cost-effective 

form of communication, so it is tempting 

to use it at every opportunity. Unless the 

information you send is valuable, though, 

you run the risk of annoying your 

customers and turning them off – exactly 

the opposite of what you are aiming for. 

Should newsletters be free? 

This depends on the focus of your 

business. If you are publishing 

information, then it is hard to see how a 

business model can be developed that is 

advertising only. However, if you are 

using the information you send to help 

some other product or service, it is 

unlikely that anyone is going to be willing 

to pay for it. 

What do the terms ‘opt in’ and ‘double 

opt’ in mean? 

An opt-in approach is where someone 

actively decides to give you their email 

address so that you can send them email. 

However, the emerging convention is 

double opt-in. What happens here is that 

when the person receives a request to 

subscribe to an email address they reply 

to that address for verification that the 

request did in fact come from there. This 

ensures that the email address was not 

maliciously set up by a third party. 

The first step in any email strategy is to 

isolate the information need of your target 

market. What sort of information would 

they find useful? Would they like 

information on new products and special 

offers? Would they like information on 

trends within your industry? What sort of 

information would make them want to 

give you their email address? 

Once you have defined an information 

need, you must make clear what the scope 

of your email publication is. What exactly 

will the person get if they subscribe? 

Unless you are delivering very timesensitive 

information, a weekly 

publication is usually sufficient. 

Getting people to subscribe is vital to the 

success of your email strategy. It should 

therefore be a prominent subscription box 

on your website encouraging people to 

join. Also, include subscription details in 

every mailing that you send out. Don’t 

ask too many questions during the 

subscription process. 

It is equally important to ensure that the 

un-subscription process is easy to use. 

People can get frustrated and angry if 

they find it difficult to unsubscribe from a 

service, and may think you have started 

spamming them. 

There are two basic options for the format 

you can use when delivering an email to 

your subscriber base: plain text and 

HTML. Plain text is just like a normal 

email, and is the simplest and easiest to 

produce. HTML is like sending a Web 

page in an email. It will deliver a lot more 

impact and colour, but it is more 

expensive to produce and a number of 

older email systems find it hard to read. If 

you do decide to use an HTML email 

approach, it is a good idea to offer a plain 

text version as well or a significant 

number of people may be unable to 

subscribe to your service. For plain text 

email layout keep the line length of text 

between 65 and 70 characters to avoid 

breaking lines, which make the layout 

look very ugly, and keep paragraphs nice 

and short – five to six lines is optimum. 

Use capitals for headings. 

Think of what you are doing as delivering 

a publication. You are trying to get people 

to read something that will make them 

want to act – to buy your product or use 

your service, for example. The scarcest 

commodity today is people’s time. 

Nobody will read an email that goes on 

and on, so focus on having punchy 

headlines and short summaries. Avoid 

having articles that are longer than 

500–600 words. The entire email should 

not contain more than 1,500 words, unless 

you have a dedicated audience that you 

know is willing to read longer pieces. So 

keep things short, and always have some 

sort of call to action. 

The subject line is what subscribers see 

first when they download their emails. 

Because people are so busy they often 

scan the subject line and, if it is not 

interesting, delete the email. However, if 

you are sending out a regular publication, 

you may wish to include the title of the 

publication and the date in the subject 

line. In the body of the email itself it is 

helpful to have a table of contents near the 

top that lets the reader know what to 

expect from the rest of the email. 

It is a good idea to use hypertext to link 

back to your website, in order to 

encourage the subscriber to get more 

information, purchase your product and 

so on.
