Green Office Under The Spotlight

Companies looking to create a green office without breaking the bank are invited to a breakfast seminar in the West Midlands.

Office refurbishment specialist Morgan Lovell has organised the event which takes place at Birminghams Radisson SAS on Wednesday October 22.

Sustainable Office Design A How To Approach is aimed at facilities managers and property professionals as well as business leaders looking to update their workplaces.

Morgan Lovells sustainability manager Lara Conaway will offer an insight into lowcost design ideas that can help make an office more green and sustainable.

She will also describe what green products are available for the workplace and explain how organisations can get money back from the Government for creating a more sustainable environment.

A real life case study will then be presented by Kerrie Culff from publishers Egmont UK who will share her experience of going green in the office and what it has meant to her company.

Julian Lebray managing director of Morgan Lovell in Birmingham based in Fort Dunlop said: Most companies understand the moral reason for greening their workplace but the business benefits are often overlooked.

However theres a compelling case for creating offices in tune with the environment as they can cut costs in areas such as energy usage.

They can also enhance staff wellbeing with a positive affect on a companys productivity and the bottom line.

This seminar offers real applicable advice that can be incorporated into todays office design projects and offers a good starting point for businesses looking to create a more sustainable environment.

Registration for the event is free but spaces are limited and the same seminar held recently in London was oversubscribed. To register go to

The Recent Increase Of Stake In Lumax

While discussing the potential of the Indian supplier industry in the global context with one of my European colleagues I pointed out to him that most Indian suppliers are homebred entrepreneurs who have realized the opportunity window and mostly used the technical collaboration / minority equity stake method to bring in technical knowhow unlike China where most supplier ventures are jointventures with global suppliers formed out of compulsion.

His contention was that as soon as the Indian industry reaches a significant size the Boschs Mahles and Danas of the world will start looking at it with a different perspective and will strengthen their presence in the country. At that point of time the Indian entrepreneurs at least some of them will have to step aside as they will not be able to match the deep pockets and longterm staying power of the global majors. India will also be more important to these global suppliers as it will be an important sourcing centre for global vehicle programs as well as the aftermarket.

And you won’t like an important base to be manned by allies especially when the Indian entrepreneurs tend to partner a dozen global suppliers look at Anands Rane TVS Amalgamations etc etc in different ventures at the same time. And Stanley is not the only case here. Bosch is keen to increase its stake in its Indian venture even though it already has management control. On the other hand Federal Mogul booted out its Indian partner Escorts last year Escorts wasn’t doing a great job there to assume control of Goetze India.

The recent increase of stake in Lumax by Stanley electric certainly points in the direction predicted. Stanley sees Lumax as an important player in the Indian industry reports suggest that Lumax has a 60 stake in the Indian automotive lighting market and with global sourcing becoming a buzzword it would be prudent to have Lumax under your own control. But is this going to be a trend? Maybe! In selective cases where the Indian partner is preoccupied with other things it may be prudent to take control of things and run them yourself. However in cases like the Rane Group TVS group companies and some other respected entities it may make sense to let the Indian partner do the daytoday management.

Five Keys To Drive Free Traffic To Your Website

As the economy continues to spiral downward and attrition rates are hitting an all time high more and more people are turning to cash gifting along with other internet based opportunities. Cash gifting can be a very powerful way to generate cash working from home home but you need to know how to market. Without marketing you won’t be able to drive sufficient traffic to your website. And without sufficient traffic you won’t be able to generate sales gifts and/or new signups.

There are a ton of ways to drive traffic to your site. There is PAID traffic and FREE traffic. Both have their pros and cons. Driving free traffic is very powerful because and sales or gifts you recieve from free traffic is 100 profit in your pocket.

Here are five powerful methods to drive free traffic to your website:

The first way that you can drive free targeted traffic to your site is Video Marketing. Video Marketing is extremely powerful because you’re able to reach prospects and share your personality with them. You’re able to give people a glimpse into your life. You’ll be able to build relationships with people via video. The bottomline is people like to do business and join people they like and feel they have a relationship with. And putting videos up on website like Youtube enables you to connect with prospects. All you have to do is place a link to your website and people who you resonate with will check out your site. Needless to say I highly recommend that you incorporate videos in your marketing routine.

The second way is Article Marketing. Writing and submitting articles are very powerful because you’re able to position yourself as a leader and expert in your industry. You can share ideas and teach lessons via your articles. And again when people read your articles and they connect with you they will click on your link that you have at the bottom of your articles.

The third way is Online Classifieds. Sites like Craigslist.org and Backpage.com are sites where you can post ads for free. There are tons of traffic going to these sites on a daily basis. Make sure you post an ad that is catchy so it compels people to click on it. You can put links back to your site and when people click on it they will be redirected to your site.

The fourth way is Forum Marketing. There are hundreds of forums you can join. Find a forum that you’d genuinely enjoy participating in and has something to do with your product or industry. Most forums allow you to put your link in your signature. So when you post a comment you’re also posting a link to your site in your signature.

The fifth way is Social Networking. Participating in free sites like Myspace and Facebook will enable you to reach a ton of prospects. Myspace alone has over 250 million members. You can spend an hour a day on Myspace and/or Facebook and before you know it have a network of thousands of “friends”. You can set your Myspace and/or Facebook page almost like a lead capture page with links to your site and videos of you.

If you’re new to marketing or you are on a tight budget you can incorporate some or all of these methods in your marketing routine. You just have to be patient. But in a few weeks you’ll have tons of traffic going to your website.
