Business Tools

New Zealand Trade and Enterprise funded Training

Deepweb is proud to announce that we have been contracted by NZTE through BizNorth, to provide workshops and followup training to Northland Businesses.
We are currently preparing the first of these workshops called "IS YOUR WEBSITE CONTENT WORKING FOR YOU?" to be delivered on the 11th of October.
We have attended a number of these courses and can say that they are incredibly valuable. To be able to not only attend a workshop on a topic of importance to your business, but you get 2 hours of the presenters time to work specifically on your business.

If you are in Northland, I encourage you to register with BizNorth, by visiting the website www.biznorth.co.nz or by calling them on 09 4381394.

After assessing your needs they will recommend courses that will make a difference to your business.

For the price of your time in attendance, it is a great way to work on your business.

Deal of the MONTH…

Email Newsletter Software

Do you send out email newsletters to your clients? Have you heard of the newly passed Anti Spam laws in New Zealand?

If you are sending email newsletters out, you need to meet certain criteria to comply with the new law.

We use PHPList to deliver this newsletter for our clients and we believe it is a great piece of software. It complies with the standards put down by the new law in relation to signing up (Called double opt-in, where you sign up with an email address, it sends you a request to confirm, and you will only be added if you confirm the email address you are using) ,also managing subscriptions and opting out of subscriptions.

For $300 we can install this system on your hosting account and integrate it with your website. Also we will create an email template to match your sites branding.

So if you are wanting to get sorted with your newsletters, give us a call and we can help.

Fun Stuff

Blogexplosion - Do you read blogs? (Mine is here) If so here is a great community of blogs where you can search by topic. So many different kind of blogs, some good, some not so good. If you have a blog yourself, get yourself listed and you can generate traffic to your own blog by visiting others. Check it out.

Go the Phoenix - As a mad Football supporter, I was gutted to hear that the new NZ based team in the Australian league was going to be in Wellington, just when I move north! Well for those of you down near Welly, I reckon its worth an afternoon out. Get along and support the Phoenix. You can see their official site here or go to Yellow Fever, the unofficial Supporters site
