Marketing Consultation from the Local Coffee Shop

Since 1995, members of the CreatiVerve team and its founder Daniel J. Rocca have been meeting clients and potential clients at area coffee shops. Daniel explains… “I initially preferred to meet clients at the coffee shop because I didn’t have an office and I wanted the arrangement to be equal; no one sitting behind a desk and no one sitting in front of one. No office phone or company personnel to take the attention away from either side of the discussion. I continue to prefer the coffee shop for the initial client/provider meeting because there is no better place to learn about a person than at a neutral setting.

Our business is about people and to do our job correctly we need to know as much as we can prior to getting started. An office and its environment can be very misleading; it can also cause one to make unfair judgments prior to learning about the people involved. Standing outside the box, when the situation allows; I highly recommend meeting with people over a cup of something hot at a neutral setting.”

Specializing in Marketing Consultation and Creative Direction, the CreatiVerve maxim reads… “Marketing is the Answer… for your business, product, service and you.” After reviewing the CreatiVerve website at: CV360.com (which for the record is a very impressive, clean and professionally designed website) I am thoroughly convinced that CreatiVerve is worth reaching out to. I would also have to agree that Marketing may very well be the answer regarding anything to do with the success of a product, service, business or you!

It was a positive experience visiting CreatiVerve Online, if you have the time to do so I suggest you drop by and bookmark the site; you never know when you or a friend might need a forward thinking Marketing Solutions Company! I also recommend reading the article entitled “A Balancing Act” by Daniel J. Rocca, it told me a lot about him as a person and I found it to be a very refreshing read.

Credit Cards For High Earners

Credit Cards For High Earners

If you earn over £20,000 you may be able to opt for a gold credit card. Now gold credit cards are similar to platinum credit cards and they are designed to give you more privileges. However, some people claim that they do not get many privileges compared to when they had their previous credit card deals and the interest rates are not always as they seem.

So, should you opt for a gold credit card? Well it is completely up to you and if you do you will notice that it is accepted almost everywhere. Some cards are not accepted and that can lead to embarrassment as well as frustration. With a gold card you will certainly not be embarrassed but you really do need to check those interest rates. So many companies offer low rates for a certain time period and people think that they are that price forever. So, read through the terms and conditions and be sure that you are getting the best deal by checking various credit card comparison sites.

Overall gold credit cards are classed as one of the best cards to have, however you do have to be careful. If you can afford it there is no reason why you should not have one but most lenders require you to earn over £20,000 in order to have one.

Remortgages – Would You Add Another Mortgage?

Remortgages – Would You Add Another Mortgage?

If you are considering a remortgage for your home then there are various factors which you will need to take into account. Firstly you need to look at your current mortgage plan and see just how good it is compared to other lenders out there. Then once you have figured out whether it is in fact better to move to another lender, you will then have to see whether it will cost you.

Basically if you have a variable mortgage plan at current you should find that you can easily look for a new mortgage straight away. Again, with a flexible mortgage plan you can change companies whenever you like without having to pay anything. However, with a base rate tracker you may have to pay redemption penalties for changing over and with a variable with cash back option you could well have to pay the difference between the cash back value.

So, it is all about knowing where you stand at present and what other deals are out there. Check to see that you will not be paying a lower amount for only a certain time period by apply for a remortgage quote. Some Lenders fool you into thinking that the lower fees are applicable all of the time but in their small print it clearly shows that it is only for the first year or six months, depending upon the company. Once you have all of the information that you need it is only then that you can make a decision on whether or not to remortgage your home.

HOW PERSONAL FINANCIAL PLANNING COULD HELP YOU

HOW PERSONAL FINANCIAL PLANNING COULD HELP YOU

If you are struggling with your loan repayments, you may want to think about personal financial planning. Whilst many people associate financial planning as a method of preventing debt in the first place, it can also help you out of it too. So, if you haven’t yet thought about it now is the time!

Firstly look at everything that you have coming in. Then the more complicated task of working out what is going out of your bank each month. You will need to split it into sections such as loans, food, utility bills, entertainment, clothing and household costs. Once you have written everything down, study the list and see if there is anything you can change. For example, do you buy so many DVD’s a month when you could actually get away with cutting it down? Do you eat out on certain days when instead you could eat healthier and cheaper at home? Are your credit cards the cheapest available and offering the best rewards? Think about all of the unnecessary expenses and see exactly what you can change to give you a little extra money for your loan repayments.

Many people find that financial planning really does help them and it really will make you feel more empowered about your current financial situation.

Windows Live

There are so many places that you can blog these days. Today lets look at Windows Live , a free blogging and networking platform. With so many options out there you might ask why would I want to use something that is related and owned by Microsoft. That is a great question in my opinion.



The main reason is that this site has a neat networking feature of being able to add friends. While this doesn't sound like much, it can help businesses reach new customers.
