- More than half of computer users do not backup their data on a regular basis. 63% said that they make backups less than once a month. 18% said that they never make backups at all. The most common reason for not making backups was that the process was too time consuming, however, those who did regularly backup their data said that the process took them an average of just 15 minutes each time. Some saved their data online, others used portable hard drives, and others used CDs. Businesses often preferred to use CDs as they could be duplicated more easily. Find out more – CD Duplication
- A recent survey revealed that more businesses than ever before are now aware of the importance of optimising their websites for search engines. The process, known as search engine optimisation, involves a variety of stages, such as keyword research and link building. The business owners spoken to said that although they recognized the importance of SEO, they had little or no idea of how to optimise and promote their website themselves. Some said that they have already enlisted the help of a professional SEO company to do the work for them, whilst others said that it is something that they will do this year.

- Over the years we have seen TVs evolve from black and white sets, to Technicolor consoles, to the HDTV options available today. In the coming years, people can expect to see bigger (but thinner) screens, internet connectivity and customizable viewing experiences. Those who love watching TV now will love it even more so in the future. As almost every home has at least one TV in it, tech companies know that there is a huge potential market for each TV that they develop, and so they will continue to spend massive sums of money to ensure that their products are better than their competitors.

- When asked about which promotional gifts they most like to receive, people responded that their preference is for something that they will get some practical value from. T-shirts, bags and USBs were the most requested promotional items, and stickers, candy and key rings were the items that people were most likely to discard. Therefore, businesses using promotional gifts to help with branding and marketing should be willing to spend a little more on items that people will actually use. By giving away quality gifts, people will be more likely to hold on to them and will think more highly of the company that they received them from. Find out more – Promotional Gifts
- Homeowners are being urged to be more careful when carrying out maintenance and repairs on their homes. The advice follows an increase in the amount of injuries being incurred by cash strapped people who are carrying out dangerous jobs, such as replacing roof tiles or insulating their roof, themselves instead of calling in professionals. Doing all DIY jobs yourself may seem like a good way to save money, however, there are some jobs that are simply too risky. As well as the risk to your health, it is also probable that the work will not be carried out correctly, which can endanger other people too. Find out more – Roofers
