TOP TIPS FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS

2009-06-05 09:00:00.0

Yes, you have probably heard it all before ? how important it is to work on your business and not simply in your business. However, it can't hurt to remind ourselves of the simple steps we can take to help maintain and refine our business strategies to weather a tough economic climate and to position your business for the inevitable upturn. <ul> <li> Be proactive. A recessionary climate demands a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to marketing and advertising. Now is the time to reinforce your market positioning and be heard. By continuing to advertise during a tough climate shows your customers how resilient your brand truly is ? and your brand is likely to come out on top when the economic climate picks up. </li> <li> Have you thought of building a social networking platform into your existing marketing plan? Does your brand or company have plenty of fresh content on YouTube, Facebook and/or Twitter? Investigate search engine marketing strategies such as ad word campaigns - and make your brand stand out from the rest! Dynamic web advertising should also be considerded. </li> <li> Take a closer look at your existing website. Did you put it up and forget about it? How long has it been since you reviewed your pricing strategy, added content to the News section or uploaded recent articles about your business milestones? If you haven't, Google will probably ignore your site. Google demands fresh content. Content is king. Add some fresh copy and some new features and some ?limited time only' special offers. It all helps. </li> <li> Start a blog for your website, if you don't already have one. Chances are if your content is compelling it will assist with building your customer base. </li> </ul>

A RETURN TO GOOD YIELDS?

2009-06-04 06:00:00.0

A return to capital growth is now taking place as weekly rental rates start to level, according to figures from property research firm RP Data. The company?s national research director Tim Lawless commented: "Rental rates across Australia have powered ahead over the last three years, providing the best gross rental yields investors have seen for a long time. "We are now seeing growth rates for weekly rents start to level due to decreasing rental affordability which is causing many renters to consider buying a home instead of renting. Lawless said gross rental yields are likely to peak over the coming months suggesting that now may be an ideal time for investors to become active. Referring to housing stock, Lawless said units are continuing to outperform houses. During the first four months of 2009 the value of units increased by 3.3% while house values increased by 2.7%. Strong performance of the unit market was attributed to several factors. These included the price gap between median house and unit values being over $90,000, making the value proposition of a unit very compelling - and the general proximity of units to cities and transport hubs, making them popular among Generation X and Y buyers. Monthly Australian capital city home value changes January (+0.1%) February (+1%) March (+0.6%) April (+1%) *NB April index results are indicative and may be subject to small revisions.

Internet advertising growing in leaps and bounds

2009-04-15 10:10:10.0

Internet advertising is slated to tip $2 billion in 2009, the Interactive Advertising Bureau Australia (IAB) has estimated. Based on data from a sample of over 1,000 website properties in Australia, IAB found that in 2008 internet advertising increased 27% to $1.7 billion, up $364 million on 2007 ($1.34 billion). But whether, or to what extent, the global financial crisis hinders growth estimates for 2009 remains to be seen. The Search and Directories category remains the key growth area. Year on year this category grew by 30% to $807 million. In Q4 2008, the sector grew by 27% compared to the corresponding period in 2007, to $224 million. It also grew by 6% over the third quarter in 2008, which is the critical figure since the 'credit crunch' began to bite during this period. Other key findings: <ul> <li> Display Advertising grew by 27% in 2008 to $465 million and by 24% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, to $130 million, 4% up on the third quarter of 2008 in terms of advertising spend. </li> <li> Classifieds grew by 23% for the year, up to $439 million and by 10% year-on-year for the quarter, to $108 million. Compared to the third quarter, this sector showed a drop of 5% - the first ever and possible signs of the slowdown affecting online advertising. </li> </ul>

Intrigued about Twitter?

If you think twittering is simply the sound a bird makes, today you're only partly correct. In 2009, twittering involves providing people with updates about what you?re doing at any given time. Twitter enables people stay in touch through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? People write short updates, often called "tweets" of 140 characters or less. Messages are posted to a person?s profile or blog, sent to people who follow your tweet and are searchable on Twitter search. Using Twitter requires an internet connection or mobile phone. Kevin Rudd's doing it. The ABC and Telstra are using Twitter to share information with customers, viewers and staff.

<h2> Rats and mice a health hazard: Archicentre survey</h2> Many homeowners are living with health hazards such as termites, rats and mice, which, when combined, create an unhealthy environment, costly repair bills and devalued property, according to an Archicentre survey. The Archicentre survey of 500 homes in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, conducted during pre-purchase pest inspection reports, covering pests including borers, termites, rats, mice, cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish and wood rot, revealed many Australians don?t grasp the importance of conducting regular maintenance to combat pests. Evidence of past and present activity by rats and mice was found in 46% of homes, spiders in 58%, cockroaches in 15%, possums 13% and silverfish in 5% of inspected homes. Other findings included: <ul> <li> Termites, the most destructive pests which can cause severe damage and cost thousands to repair, were found in 12% of the 500 homes inspected. </li> <li> Borers were found in 52% of homes and 69% of inspected homes had wood rot which results from poor ventilation and damp. </li> </ul> Termite damage: high costs Archicentre's research indicates that the average cost of pest treatment in 2009 is approximately $2,500 and the average cost for repairing damage is around $4,500. However damage repair figures in particular can vary markedly, with some cases costing over $100,000 to rectify.

First homeowners enjoy a boost

2008-11-25 19:00:00.0

Thinking of leaving the rental market and buying your first property? A range of financial incentives are now available to the first homebuyer. On October 14, the Government announced the First Home Owners Boost, an initiative which enables first home buyers who purchase established homes to receive a boost of $7000 that doubles the grant to $14,000. It's an even rosier picture for first homebuyers building or buying newly constructed homes: they will receive an extra $14,000, taking their grant to $21,000. This boost is available for contracts entered into before June 30 2009. States and territories are making further announcements in their Budgets. For example, the NSW Government has recently confirmed an additional New Home Buyers Supplement of $3,000 for applicants building a new home or buying a newly constructed home. The $3,000 Supplement will be available for 12 months (11 November 2008 to 10 November 2009 inclusive), at which time it will be reviewed in the context of the property market. If you are considering buying your first home and you want to find out what financial assistance you may be eligible for, contact the Office of State Revenue in your state or territory.

Looking to rent a property? Here's part two of our top tips for renters, from the Real Estate Institute of Australia, which can bring you peace of mind. Condition reports When you move into the property, the real estate agent is required to complete a condition report. This documents the condition of the property when you take possession.

Renting now or in the future?

2008-05-29 15:00:00.0

<h2> These tips from the Real Estate Institute of Australia can bring you peace of mind.</h2> <h2> Impressions count.</h2> There is no second chance for a first impression. Be well presented and prepared. Prior to inspections, take the time to obtain references from your previous real estate agent and employer. This could include a printout of your tenant ledger, copies of inspection reports, bond refund documents or wage slips. To get the competitive edge provide evidence that you can afford the rent and properly maintain the property. <h2> Money matters</h2> When choosing your new home you may be required to pay a deposit or reservation fee to secure the property. In some circumstances, if you change your mind you may forfeit this deposit. Therefore, it is important that you understand the arrangement that you have with the individual real estate agency as to how the deposit may be handled. <h2> Understanding your tenancy agreement</h2> It is important to understand that when signing a tenancy agreement you are entering into a legally binding agreement. Carefully read and understand all conditions of the agreement before you sign.
