Bing PPC marketing fail? 5th August 2015 1:13 PM

this arrived in the info mail box today. We must have had an account with them in the past at some point.

With amount of clever coding people Bing must have, you would think they would be able to add in a simple formula to send a different message to people with zero clicks and zero impressions. 

How about, "you signed up with us but you aren't using your account, so have £5 credit and start advertising today". Or am I being picky?

 

looks like the verdict was bad taste as the video has been pulled.

Pension Auto-enrolment 7th June 2015 8:27 PM

With the population growing older, the expectation of quality cradle to grave care, I honestly don't know how the state will afford to be paying pensions, 15, 20, 25 years in the future. I can see this gradually moving to a private pension system with a some kind of state safety net for the needy. The only thing that would worry me would be employers going bust or spending pension pots as has happened in recent years.

Aldi and lidl business model 7th June 2015 8:21 PM

They certainly seem to be cracking the snobbery image, but I suspect it's more of a general shift in attitude as we seem to all shop much smarter. Gone of the days of the Sainsburys or the Tescos shopper. We all seem to chop and change, or split our shops up depending where the bargains are. 

I wish I could spend more time shopping locally using independents, such as butchers, but juggling work and kids, something has to give. Tends to be easier going between supermarkets because it's easy free parking, and you are in and out.

A Cat-astrophe? 7th June 2015 6:24 PM

Ha ha very good.

My cats used to pretty much get the blame for everything, especially when it involved bringing in live mice and birds to the house, playing with them, then getting bored. Muggins here then spent the next 2 hours doing the cats job of getting rid of them!

Visually, I think they look a little spammy and like paid adverts. I think they could have made them look more like the carousel results that you get in the google search results, but be interesting to see if there is any +/- reaction on visitor traffic. 

I know its wrong, but I'm a bit bored of it all already

Help with getty images threat 14th April 2015 8:56 AM

Can only repeat what has been said, never use any images without permission. It's too risky (as well as wrong/illegal). Get your camera out and take some pictures yourself
