"I am starting a family business with my husband and we have found these regular, relevant, easy to understand bulletins essential as we construct a business plan, arrange ways to advertise our services, and design materials, literature, stationery, etc.
Thank you so much!"
Dawn
"Just wanted to start the year well with a 'thank you' for an excellent e-zine. It is always a good read, full of information which I have found really useful. Despite being in a specialised industry I have found the content concise (important when you are busy!) relevant and interesting. It is a very easy way to keep informed on current changes in legislation and policy.
Many thanks, and all good wishes for 2006 - keep up the good work!"
Moira Walters, Fraser Pump and Engineering
"I just wanted to let you know how useful I find your e-newsletter. I have returned from a two-week holiday to find 250+ e-mails in my inbox. I have deleted many of these without reading them - however, I store your e-mails in a separate folder so that I can read them at my leisure.
Keep up the good work!"
Lisa Cardus
"Many, many thanks for this invaluable resource. I find your weekly bulletins not only informative, but inspirational."
Barbara Apgar
"Your bulletins are absolutely fantastic and so valuable
- keep up the good work and thank you."
Sandra Donoghue
"At last! A newsletter that talks honestly and
with real humour about the challenges and opportunities of starting
and running your own business. Filled with tips, ideas, reviews
and advice, the quality is outstanding and the content always
fresh and relevant.
My email inbox overflows with dull, repetitive e-newsletters;
EnterQuest stands out from all of them. It's a great read --
and I wanted you to know that it is appreciated!"
Julie Stanford, Managing Director, The Essential Business
Guide Ltd and Vice-President, Brighton & Hove Chamber
of Commerce
"I just wanted to give you some positive feedback
about your bulletins.
I'm in the process of starting my own business and your bulletins
along with my Money Saving Expert ones are the bulletins I actually
look forward to!
I like your informal yet informative style and I do feel your
articles are relevant - as a result of today's bulletin (Issue
113) I have added "research public liability insurance"
to my to do list!
One of the previous week's bulletins was about researching
and testing the market thoroughly which has really stuck in
my mind and I have started to do.
Another piece of advice you gave which I commonly find myself
repeating is about not just "going for it" and instead
to calculate your risks properly (one of the myths you highlighted).
Anyway enough from me.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next article."
Neil Bharadwa, The Cambridge Fruit Company
"Not a question for you all to ponder, but a comment...
Having received a lot of rubbish through the Internet, I don't
subscribe to many things. And it was with caution that I subscribed
to your newsletter, unsure whether it would be worth the download
time or effort to press the delete every time it arrived in
my inbox - but willing to give it a try.
Glad I did!
Your little newsletter is cheeky, amusing, interesting and,
even for the jaded business person, full of little gems.
The writing is good, the topics are, well, topical, and it
gives me a little giggle most times.
So thanks!
Hopefully when my business launches in September, I can use
a few of the tips I've picked up along the way. (And that's
coming from someone who has worked in PR for large organisations
for around 15 years...not that I ever believed I knew it all!)."
Kimberly Munro, Blue Grass Purple Cow
"I get your bulletin and am grateful. Sometimes
it's just one word or a small sentence that gets me going again
and back on track. Many thanks for an informative, relevant
e-mail."
John L Romanes, Scot Pet Foods Ltd
"Thank you for an excellent publication. Each issue
of your newsletter contains information and advice that we find
most useful, particularly for passing on to the many small businesses
that use our service.
I have now set up a separate folder on Outlook so that I can
check on an article in any back issue very quickly whenever
I need to. It is proving to be a valuable reference resource.
As for Cobweb in general, I circulated your e-mail to my research
team and the unanimous response was that because of the consistently
high quality of the information and its relevance to small business
concerns we could not imagine how we would function without
your service."
Ron Trewellard, Manager, Enterprise Edge
"I would just like to say a big thank you to the
team - I regularly look forward to my e-mail shot from you -
my business is progressing but still not up and running yet.
This year has been a tough one and your newsletters have kept
me focused and inspired to fight on to succeed. Thanks a million."
Ally Tolhurst
"Many thanks for your excellent newsletters. I
never fail to find something useful and thought-provoking in
them."
Richard Hanage
"Thanks for your bulletins - they have been the
most useful, clear and easy to understand source of help since
I started business."
Karolyne Fudge-Malik, Bufferzone - People Workers
"Can I take this opportunity to tell you how much
I enjoy reading the EnterQuest newsletters; I find them very
informative, well written and just the right length!"
Veronica Tonge
"Just a short note of appreciation for your regular
bulletins. I find them very informative and inspiring. Keep
up the good work!"
James Conquer (www.theguitarschool.biz)
"This service is fantastic. It has really helped
me with me with my college business plan."
Rhian Jones
"Thank you ever so much for providing me with such
helpful and accurate information. This has been a great help
and is very much appreciated.
It's refreshing to find such helpful people and I will continue
to recommend Cobweb.
Many thanks once again."
Adele Donnelly, Top Trims UK
"Just to say how much I appreciate your newsletters.
They are such a help. Please keep up the good work."
