All-inclusive market analysis tool for traders launched by wholesalepages(dot)co(dot)uk

0

Right from the onset, Wholesalepages.co.uk has gone all out to facilitate UK wholesalers, manufacturers, dropshippers and distributors in every possible way. So as to work out the solution for the “product selection dilemma” for new startups, a group of successful wholesalers and drop shippers was invited to share their methods for choosing a product to trade.

As it turned out, there was nothing fancy in the approaches described by these veterans. For almost all of these experts, selection was based on a detailed analysis of the demand, supply and competition.

Their experiences combined with the findings of the research department were then redeployed to the programming unit.

The main idea was to build a tool that can generate valuable information quickly without getting overly expensive for small businesses. Luckily, search patterns from various search engines and shopping websites allow everybody to ascertain demand for a specific product. Similarly, competition can be judged by flicking through the numbers of suppliers providing similar products. All of these resources were aptly used in creating this tool, now popular as Market Wizard.
There’s no secret to success in wholesale trading business. The recipe is quite simple, choosing the right product and targeting the right market. Offer something, which is already in demand with low or medium level of competition and one is all set to grow. Whereas trying one’s luck with an item that is not looked-for by the customers or is already being offered by lots of other businesses, and one doesn’t stand a chance of success.

However, figuring out the right product requires plenty of research, analysis and experience. Determining demand is a tricky business; add to this the fact that the wholesalers don’t get to change the product without causing all kinds of inconvenience once they have started. Hence, they need not-to-be faulted in their first shot while picking out the product they are going to put on the market.

Market Wizard does no magic, but if somebody is looking for a quick yet detailed analysis of the demand, supply and competition for a particular product, it delivers big time. A quick search with the product name at Market Wizard will bring more than enough data to make up your mind. As soon as the wholesalers are able to pick out the right money-making product by utilizing this tool, they can consider themselves well en route to success and riches.

Icelandic people turn towards more innovation

0
0

iceland satIceland’s economy may be struggling, but regular Icelanders are trying to find new ways to fend for themselves and their families. Innovation centres have been formed in many towns and the low value of the Icelandic krona helps exporting companies.

Some years ago, many firms in Iceland had to watch as the country’s largest banks literally sucked talent from them, with stellar salaries dwarfing those in regular companies.

In recent years, there were even stories of engineering firms having problems recruiting, since all newly graduated engineers were snapped up by the banks.

Today, with the banks considerably smaller than before, knowledge-based companies are again able to tap the talent which Iceland’s highly educated people have to offer.

“Now, all this has changed and regular firms are more competitive. Entrepreneurial companies are even seeing investors again,” says Thrainn Thorvaldsson, CEO of Icelandic biotech firm SagaMedica. His company researches Icelandic medicinal herbs and produces dietary supplements from them. These are used, for example, in cases of frequent urination, asthma and Alzheimer’s disease.

“We now have an online store for the international market and teams of people working all around Iceland, harvesting herbs to keep up with increasing demand,” he adds.

With unemployment on the rise, innovation centres have sprouted in many Icelandic towns. There, entrepreneurial and degree-wielding people come together and work toward forming new companies in Iceland.  Since last fall, publicly run Innovation Center Iceland has overseen the opening of six new incubator centres which have led to the creation of 140 jobs. This may not seem much, but in terms of per capita it would amount to roughly 140,000 jobs in the United States.

“We are seeing tremendous interest in innovation in Iceland. We have had that before, but now external circumstances drive people towards creating their own opportunities. They simply can’t rely on the same things as before,” says Andri Kristinsson, head of Innovit, a privately run entrepreneurial incubator in Reykjavik. “One of the best ways of preventing a brain-drain from Iceland is to give qualified people a platform to use their education to the fullest,” he adds.

With exciting companies being able to compete in salary, one would expect Icelanders to flock into more diverse sectors of the job market.

Who said banking was fun, anyway?

Dogfinance.com, the first financial social network is landing in the United Kingdom

After taking the lead on the French market of online financial recruitment, Dogfinance is now intending to strike at a huge market : the United Kingdom.

Dogfinance.com is a social network specialised in finance which has brought 66,000+ members together and has recorded 200,000+ visits per month so far. Dogfinance is made up of three concepts: recruitment, the professional social network and the information network with a very active news section.

Staying focused in finance and growing up abroad

Dogfinance remains and will be remaining specialised in the financial fields to keep its community identity. To  expand, Dogfinance is willing to get beyond the French borders and set up on other local markets. That’s the reason why Dogfinance has made a first €200,000 fundraising to become international.

« Dogfinance’s strategy is not just about offering numerous languages but also conquering various countries one by one, with content dedicated to the local market” says Sébastien Guichard, the co-founder of Dogfinance. “The network will remain global and all the countries will be connected to one another”.

Targeting the world’s largest financial centre as a pilot country

Dogfinance did not choose the United Kingdom at random to begin its international development:

-          The United Kingdom is ranked as the world’s largest financial centre

-          Paris and London are very close to each other. It is therefore easier to regularly travel back and forth

-          One of our associates lives in London and acts as the intermediary with the Parisian team.


The United Kingdom is a mere beginning

Many other countries are already being considered such as Luxembourg – where finance is a very present sector -, Italy and Maghreb. Emerging countries also show up a strong potential in the financial sector.

About Dogfinance :

Dogfinance.com started up in January 2010. In November 2010, Dogfinance recorded 10,000 members and 80,000 visitors per month. Since then, it has strongly developed, particularly thanks to the virality of its network and its partnerships drawn up with Business schools and engineers. This enabled Dogfinance to hit up to 60,000 members in January 2012.

Barber Design Develops New SugarSin Store Visuals

0
0

Barber Design, a leading contemporary retail interior design agency, recently developed a design for the new SugarSin store in London’s popular Long Acre, Covent Garden area.

SugarSin’s owners, sisters Anna and Joesfin, approached Barber Design in June 2010 to create the concept visuals for their new sweets shop after another design firm had failed to realise their initial vision. Whatever ideas Barber Design developed needed to match the brand and packaging graphics which had already been created by London-based design studio AND SMITH. The first meeting between Barber Design and the client uncovered Anna and Josefin’s desire for a unique, quirky and fun shop that sold a variety of sweets from around the world. As sweets are still common treats for adults and children in Sweden, they wanted to bring a part of this culture to London. However, as their combined backgrounds do not include retail, they wanted to get everything right.

Barber Design’s first concept was well-received by the clients, so they were commissioned to develop this for planning approval to secure the site in the Long Acre area a year later in 2011. A full drawings pack of the design for manufacture was also created by Barber Design, and throughout the process they worked closely with the clients to make their dreams of owning a sweets shop in trendy Covent Garden a reality. The store opened in late December 2011 with a vibrant and unique design, and received a positive review in the prestigious Time Out Magazine.

“Even with a small design (and build) budget, SugarSin’s exciting opportunity allowed our creativity to emerge whilst keeping the quality in the detail of the features,” said Doug Barber, Manager Director of Barber Design. “With the small budget and the client’s family members (flown over from Sweden) helping to decorate and install the shop’s features, the quality of the furniture and decorating is exceptional. The finished look includes colourful fun furniture, twisted poles, glass bubbles, black and white striped flooring, built-in wall displays and harlequin tile wall patterns, all of which are reminiscent of well-known sweets and have the feel of a fantasy wonderland. We are thrilled to have helped Anna and Josefin realise their dream, and wish them every success.”

Staff development and talent management key to business success

0
0

Many organisations are turning to technology and business execution software to make talent management decisions and assist staff development. The process of recording employee development in ring binder folders and spreadsheets is no longer adequate enough for the complex challenges HR now faces of plugging the talent shortage.

A recent survey commissioned by SuccessFactors, an SAP company, found that 87% of employees feel they could be more productive in their job with more staff development and trainingi. In a world where some skills are becoming increasingly scare, this may suggest that there are opportunities to overcome this challenge from within the business. The combination of rapid technological development, weak economies, poorly aligned education structures and an aging workforce means that a war for talent is fast becoming a reality.

Many industries are facing a skills shortage, in part created by an ageing population, with strong competition to find talented employees in a shrinking pool. There will be winners and losers in the imminent war for talent.

Employees themselves are enthusiastic about developing their skills. In the research it was found that 90% felt that employee development or training would be beneficial if available. However, 68% say they are not encouraged to actively seek staff development or training.

So it’s clear, staff development is high on everyone’s agenda. A great Learning Management System is key to providing effective staff development, linked with strategic business objectives. Once you have established the skills that will be necessary in your business in the future, these systems will provide learning options that extend into your employees lives using technology that crosses a formal, informal and social learning experience.

Discover what impact Learning and  Talent management technology could have on your business’ performance by taking SuccessFactors’ quick benchmarking test to see how your company compares to other companies. You’ll also get immediate recommendations on what you can do to make improvements and where to get guidance on creating a winning talent strategy.

A Year in Paint – Mouth Painting Artist, Ann Lund

0
0

Ann Lund is a member of the Mund-og Fodmalende Kunstneres (MFK) the Danish arm of the Association of Mouth and Foots painting Artists (AMFPA).  Ann has had a busy year exhibiting her paintings, talking to the public about her inspiration and the organisation that helps her and her fellow members all over the world to achieve independence through their art.

In February, Ann kicked off the year by exhibiting at The Art of the Time (Tidens Kunst) exhibition, held at the conference centre in AARS. There were over a hundred different artists attending and Ann had her own booth where she was able to sell some of her paintings as well as chat to visitors, something she loves doing.  She then exhibited some of her acrylic and water colour paintings at Copenhagen Art Fair 2012.  As a result she has received many invitations to attend other exhibitions, including a stint at the Museum of Art in late October.

Ann Lund said:  “I love being out and about engaging with the public, it gives me the opportunity to make new contacts and to spread the word about our international organisation the AMFPA.”

Ann’s favourite subjects are angels and she has cleverly composed her paintings using her children, her niece and nephew as models.  She has painted portraits of her daughter, Stella, aged four and her bonus daughter, Viola, aged 11. She has also painted her niece, Thea, aged 14 and her nephew, Laust, aged 12.

Ann commented:  “Angels are where I get my inspiration from.  I believe in acting like an angel towards people who I come in contact with.  Giving them a smile or saying something nice or just listening to them can mean a lot and I get so much warmth in return.”

This summer, Ann was commissioned to produce a painting for the charity, Article 4, an organisation against human trafficking. The image of angel wings shaped like a heart with the words ‘Be An Angel’ was printed on T- Shirts to help raise money and awareness of the cause.

Ann has been severely paralyzed since birth as a result of suffering from cerebral palsy, but she has not allowed it to stop her from pursuing her interests and enjoying life to the full. Ann loves socialising with her family and friends and enjoys travelling.   When she was a student, Ann went back packing with her friends in Australia; she travelled for two and a half months starting at Sidney then onto to Ayres Rock, and then Adelaide. She then went for six weeks to New Zealand before returning home via the US.

Ann said: “It was a true adventure and while my friends assisted me along the way, I found that the Australians were so kind and friendly that it made my trip memorable and a wonderful experience.”

The Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists is a wholly owned, international self-help organisation of seriously disabled artists who take pride in earning their own living by painting with a paint brush held in their mouth or between their toes. A panel of senior AMFPA artists select from the collection of painted images created by Danish artists and their fellow artists from around the world. These chosen images are then reproduced and sold to the general public as cards and calendars, benefitting the AMFPA’s more than 800 artists in over 75 countries worldwide.

Norway’s oil industry helps strengthen Norwegian market According to a report recently released by Source Information Services, Norway is the most stable market in Scandinavia. Despite the Nordic market growth falling by 2%, the Norwegian market managed to grow by 5%. The biggest growth in this region comes from the energy sector, mainly from the Norwegian oil and gas industry.

Alisdair Munro, the head of Consulting Norge, commented:“Although Norway has a smaller consulting market than its neighbours in Denmark and Sweden it was the powerhouse of growth across the region between 2011 and 2012. But growth here – of 5% – has largely come from the oil and gas sector and relies very heavily on a very small number of very big organisations.“

Due to the growth of the oil and gas market, TUjobs will be posting daily new job vacancies on their website, making it easier for people to apply for international jobs. Leading multinational companies in the oil sector such as Experis, GK Norge and Statoil, amongst others, are now advertising their vacancies with TUjobs – the new online recruitment company specialised in online recruitment for the oil and gas sectors. The online platform has already released many job vacancies over the past year and the number of available jobs is on the rise.

This week, the job ads that stand out on www.TUjobs.com are:

• Project HSSE representative at Experis in Oslo
• Project Manager at Doble TransiNor AS in Trondheim
• Project Manager at Roxar in Stavanger
• Senior Technical Safety Engineer at Experis Engineering in Rogaland
