Newsletters: Effective and efficient

Last week was a really busy week for M8MC. We finished and launched www.ceriboo.com and also www.themodelbank.co.uk, but a real trend to our increasing workload is that of e-Newsletter production and management. M8MC happily took on two new monthly e-Newsletter contracts.

Business Networking

Your email: Subscribe via rss At long last, M8MC is relaunching its blog. We’re closing down the old Blogger ‘blog’ and are keeping everything in-house from now onwards. After all, our site is a Word Press site, a platform initially developed as a blogging tool. M8MC owes a great deal to business networking and can’t sing its praises high enough. So forgive me if I rant a little about it this week! M8MC started up exactly two years ago, and although business networking was always factored into the initial business plan, it was ...
