Last week me and my husband were listening to a programme on BBC Southern Counties radio on our way back from Essex. There was an interesting feature on redundancy and one of the ideas was to keep your CV up-to-date.
A while ago I decided to put together a "How to make the most of your CV" leaflet free to anyone interested. If, for whatever reason someone can't write their own CV, I will do it for them for 1/2 price, quoting the reference on the leaflet.
Of course when I heard the 'bit' on the radio my ears pricked up, especially when Allison Fearns asked people to call or email in to offer any snippets of advice, or hear their story. I immediately thought what a great opportunity to get my 'idea' on air. So as soon as we arrived home I sent them an email. I left the radio on and sure enough about 10 mins later she read it out, email address and all. I was really pleased. Ok so it was only a 5-second plug, but at least I got a mention and who knows!
So why not give it a try if you listen to the radio regularly and have something to 'plug'.

Easy marketing idea
Turn your invoice into a sales tool.
Spend a fortune on marketing? Well here's one easy, simple and more importantly FREE idea that you can implement straight away.
Most companies send out invoices and statements on a regular basis. Invoices are normally passed through a number of hands before actually reaching the person who signs the cheque, providing the opportunity for you to promote your business to a number of people who are already aware of who you are, but may not know every facet of what you have to offer. This could include a price change, new product or special offer, or even introducing a new member of staff (including photo) to add a very personal touch to your company profile. You could even add a colourful flyer. All you have to pay is the cost of producing the flyer.
Stay tuned for more marketing ideas.
