Landing or lead pages for your web presence

Have you tried landing pages, squeeze or lead pages for your business to drive traffic and convert your enquiries (usually unknown web visitors) to sales?
Lead pages are one page web sites designed to provide only enough information to attract attention, develop their curiosity and inspire them to enquire or opt in to your specifically targeted opportunity. They are:
• a way to maximize conversions
• a method of dynamically customising the content per visitor or lead
• a proven way of having specific keyword driven pages
• a way to increase your return on investment immediately
• an opportunity to really test your campaigns

Annual refresher training for your first aiders

You may have also missed the HSE notification that the HSE now 'strongly recommends' that first-aiders undertake annual refresher training, over half a day, during any three-year FAW/EFAW certification period. It is not mandatory as first thought, but a strong recommendation, due to the difficulty employers find releasing staff for training.

To solve this issue for employers, we are just about to launch a First Aid Training DVD, that will cover all the topics of the EFAW or FAW course. The DVD will allow you to pick and choose the areas of most relevance to your business or where the first-aider feels their personal knowledge needs refreshing.

Week included a week off in Center Parcs! But what a week for business planning!!
