I have seen some debate in the forum on the effectiveness, or lack of it, in press advertising. So here’s my pennyworth.

Advertising, like other marketing instruments is a tool. It doesn’t work on its own and it’s unlikely to work for you if you don’t know how to handle the tool.

In today's fast track world of business and with people having to make business decisions a lot quicker, one would think that the process of finding staff would need to work on the same basis. But yet when it comes to that process thing seem to take longer than expected. Companies...

In today’s competitive world it's not always that easy to get a customer but it can be even more difficult to keep that customer. This should not be the case...

A consumer has various rights of return in terms of the Consumer Protection Act.

The five instances where a consumer may return goods to the supplier are:

·         Unsafe or defective goods may be returned for a repair, replacement or refund within 6 months of delivery. The consumer may choose whether he wants the item repaired, replaced or receive a refund. If the consumer allows the supplier to repair, then the repair must last for at least three months. If the same fault re-appears or another defect appears within three months of the repair being effected, then the supplier must choose whether to replace the item or refund the consumer. At this stage, a further repair is not an available option.
