From Catering to Candles!

We need 10 000 candles for Relay For Life 2009! Candles will be used for Survivors and in the Lumunaria bags. (Photos of Lumunaria bags on our Facebook page - http://cli.gs/YzZvyA). Eileen Schofield is running a campaign with schools to get candles donated. Absa staff is collecting candles all over the province. Absa Thohoyandou was the first to confirm their donation. If you want to be part of this project, please contact Eileen Schofield on 082 445 8069 or vicplace@lantic.net.

Mention the name Facebook, and people roll their eyes by the mention of something that teenagers play with on the Internet.

Not so fast.

Facebook may be a platform where friends gather and communicate online, but it has quietly changed from a play-thing for teenagers to a platform where the biggest of the big businesses can engage and interact with their clients.

Who are the big guys on Facebook?

First of all, one has to differentiate between Facebook Profiles and Facebook Pages.

These are tough times and it calls for tough decisions.

Like whether you can still afford to advertise here and there and sometimes not and other times in every piece of paper circulating in the city?

The answer is obvious: consumers do not part with their money easily and businesses cannot afford to waste a cent on advertising that may work, or may not, but nobody really knows whether it does.
