Shopping Online: A Year in My Life

No comment

Each year I get even more tempted to tear up my credit card. 2010 was no exception. Once I start buying I just can’t stop. In a previous Blog post entitled ‘Add Shops to the Endangered Species List‘, I commented on how I do all my shopping online – I am going to explore that idea in this post.

Add Shops to the Endangered Species List

No comment


In the next few years the face of shopping in Ireland will surely change significantly. People will have less money and therefore less buying power. Many shops will go out of business. Combine this with the emerging Internet shopping trend and it is not too far a stretch of the imagination to see bricks and mortar shops becoming a thing of the past. Online shopping will be the norm. I view my own purchasing patterns as a sign of things to come.

So you have decided you want to get a website developed, or you want to get your current website revamped. Contrary to popular belief your local web development company won’t be able to magically design your perfect site for you.

A successful web design & development project is like a good marriage; it needs buy in and compromise from both sides.

Here is a checklist of items you need to prepare before contacting a web design company.

Irish Businesses are their own worst enemy

Rip Off Rebublic

Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that providing value for money would be a negative aspect to an Internet marketing company. We are in a recession; surely businesses around Ireland should be looking for value for money? Internet marketing is not rocket science or brain surgery. The thoughts of paying an Internet marketing company €100+ an hour horrifies me and if you own a business then it should horrify you. Chances are, that company will be employing a group of inexperienced students straight out of college to work on your account.
