If you consider yourself to be quite a trendy up-to-date couple, why are you thinking about sending out wedding invitations by post? In a world where most of us communicate with friends, family and even
Legal warning issued to firms over website images
Companies often entrust outside agencies to help them with issues such as business execution software and strategy execution in general. In the same way, many enterprises rely on third parties to generate websites for them. After all, the endeavour can be highly technical.
The results of such collaborations can be impressive and serve organisations very well.
However, it is vital that firms know their rights and responsibilities when they outsource web design to others. This was the message delivered recently by the Forum of Private Business (FPB).
It noted that it has been receiving a rising number of calls from enterprises that have unwittingly infringed copyright laws. These firms presumed the design companies they sourced had secured permission to utilise the images they placed on their websites, when it fact this was not the case.
Liability in such instances lies with the businesses that paid for the websites, rather than the designers.
The FPB, which a non-profit organisation that provides support and protection to small and medium-sized businesses around the country, therefore warned companies to check they are legally entitled to use the images on their websites.
Its chief executive Phil Orford remarked: “I think the digital age has blurred the boundaries of image copyright in many people’s minds and some business owners mistakenly think that because an image is freely available on the internet, it can be reused without permission.”
“Additionally, many smaller businesses entrust web design companies with the whole process of registering and creating their website, and presume that their web design company will only use images they are entitled to use.”
Cases like this demonstrate to firms the importance of using only the very best and most professional organisations when they need to outsource, whether they are after web design services, business execution software and strategy execution assistance or anything else.
Direct mail campaigns without the hassle
Direct mail still works. Just look how much still comes through the average letterbox in one week. Some of it gets opened. And it gets results. Email has become increasingly popular, but it can’t rival the sense of “event” that a well designed sales letter and give away can generate.
Buying Medicine Online
We have all had the spam emails offering us all kinds of medicine online for huge discounts. The kind of emails that ruin their own chances of being taken seriously by claiming to be from major celebrities or by offering us gratuitous and illiterate descriptions of just what their medicines can do for us.
Why do you need an online CV?
If you still do not have an online CV you are probably not doing your job hunt any favours. These days it takes more than just having a good CV to land an interview for your dream job. By not having an online CV you are making it more difficult for potential job offers to come in and you are also only limiting yourself by only applying for jobs that are advertised in local papers or websites. By that time, hundreds of other candidates may have also seen the job and your chances of landing an interview will become smaller.
A new mail box could be the answer
People get frustrated when items that they order online don’t fit through their letter box.And with more and more people shopping using the Internet,this is an increasingly common problem. If the item doesn’t fit through and no one is home, then the parcel goes back to the depot.Meaning that the customer will have to make a request for another delivery or go and pick it up themselves.From a depot.Which might be miles away.
Never miss another delivery again with a mail box
The traditional letter box is getting a bit limited in the Internet age.These days people order all sorts of things online and those items don’t always fit through the box.Which means the postman has to take them back to the depot and leave a “while you were out card”.The recipient has to either request another delivery or go to the post office to pick it up. It can be a real pain.
Mailboxes make sense in apartment blocks
When people live together in an apartment block then things can get confusing with the post if there aren’t any mail boxes. Letters and parcels just pile up all over the hall. Some are bound to go missing accidentally. Other items could end up being stolen if just left lying around. After all, thanks to the popularity of online shopping, people order all sorts of things mail order these days. And when they arrive they need to be stored securely.
