Across the globe, virtually every industry that has digital content is in the midst of an enormous transition. The company views this as an opportunity to engage with authors and readers in profoundly new and mutually beneficial ways. Technologies have combined to remove inventory, geographic, and cultural barriers to digital content creation and sell through.

In the linear world you if you produce a book (IP) that attracts attention then there is the obvious potential of merchandise, Apps, Games, TV production, Film Production, Animation, Music tie-in etc. In the digital world the web has helped speed that process up 100% and broken the territory trap, everything is global now.

Iponymous as much as it is a publisher is also at its very core a content studio. And in this capacity its building IP for exploitation through traditional channels and more importantly through channels that are not yet in existence, but soon will be (transmedia). Technology is key but you can’t run technology on thin air – Content will always be king.

We plant seeds in the content, bringing customers back via the books website and offering them spin-offs: blogs, twitter, Facebook accounts of characters from their favourite content. This offers an opportunity to stay close to our customers. We then look to sell them apps, games, merchandise and of course sequels.

Whilst these can be major setbacks if the worst should happen one event happens every winter guaranteed …. and that’s your heating bill will increase dramatically and have a negative effect on your bottom line.

But it doesn’t all have to be bad news as this article suggests ….

Click here to visit the original source of this post

The old saying “take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves” has never been truer than when it comes to business finance and your heating bills. With rising energy costs it has never been more important for businesses in Cardiff and Wales to turn the heating down one degree or more and make some substantial savings.

One Ford Motor Company plant in the U.S. made substantial savings on their air conditioning bill when they carried out an awareness training for all employees and produced stickers to be displayed around the plant to remind people to close the doors after them.

What are you doing to heighten awareness of your staff and visitors to keep the heat in, the cold out, and your costs down?

One of sources recently informed us that the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has launched a new scheme offering a free consultation.

One of the major concerns whenever we are in tough economies is small local businesses seeking advice from places other than professionals due to costs. This new initiative will allow small businesses in Cardiff and Wales to seek free professional advice from local accountants in Cardiff and the surrounding area.

Business Advice: Free ICAEW Service For Welsh Businesses

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has introduced a Business Advice Service that enables small businesses to receive a free initial consultation from an ICAEW Chartered Accountant.

Under the scheme SME owners can contact ICAEW practices in their area on a variety of issues, both large and small, and there is no future obligation. More than 2,000 ICAEW firms have already signed up to offer free consultations.

The scheme aims to encourage SMEs and start-ups to seek support from an ICAEW Chartered Accountant rather than resorting to unqualified alternatives.

Explaining the scheme, Clive Parritt, ICAEW president, said:

“Start-ups or growing small businesses need the best advice to succeed at a time of fragile recovery and limits on public spending. There is a clear need for expert business advice which helps SMEs and start-up businesses become engines of growth.

“The Business Advice Service will offer SMEs the opportunity to discuss their business with a qualified chartered accountant through a free initial consultation.

“ICAEW Chartered Accountants will be able to offer expert advice on a whole range of issues facing them – from starting a business to turnaround, restructuring, financial management or taxation issues.”

Further information about the scheme and a directory of ICAEW Chartered Accountants offering the Business Advice Service can be found here (opens in new window).

Business Advice: Building Relationships

It is good to see good business practices being developed by institutions such as the ICAEW and it’s also good business as in the medium to long term many of these free meetings are sure to develop into profitable business relationships for both parties.

Free business advice is always welcome but it is better valued when delivered by a professional institution. Having many years experience dealing with small businesses in Cardiff and across South Wales they are ideally placed to offer sound advice for those seeking a professional opinion.

First Minister Carwyn Jones and the mayor of the south western city of Chongqing signed the new memorandum of understanding on Monday.

The two governments will share expertise in a range of industrial, social and cultural activities.

Mr Jones is leading a delegation in China promoting Welsh business and higher education.

Chongqing is one of China’s major economic and industrial centres, with a population estimated at 30 million.

Previous links between the city and Wales include the loan of ancient Chinese artefacts to the National Museum of Wales in January, and the staging of a Wales Week in Chongqing in March promoting business.

‘Fantastic platform’

The agreement commits Wales and Chongqing to continue sharing expertise in science, technology, culture, health, education, agriculture, economic development, forestry management, environment, governance and tourism.

“This new agreement is another step forward in our evolving relationship”Carwyn Jones First Minister

Mr Jones said: “This new agreement is another step forward in our evolving relationship that has seen us learn from each other in areas as diverse as economic development, education and culture.

“We want this close working to continue to the benefit of both Wales and Chongqing and I look forward to continued years of partnership to cement our close links.”

The first minister also visited the 8th China International Garden Expo where Wales’ National Botanical Gardens at Llanarthne, Carmarthenshire, are representing the UK with a showcase garden.

“This huge event is a fantastic platform to promote Wales to an international audience,” said Mr Jones.

“The Chongqing Expo covers a two square kilometre site and unlike similar events in the UK it is permanent, so there will be a Welsh representation in the city for many years to come.”

One thing is for certain despite this latest business news. Small businesses in Wales need to keep looking for new markets and new opportunities if they are to thrive in this difficult worldwide economy.

Perhaps alliances with growing economies such as China will provide new markets to Welsh businesses and instead of looking at China as a commercial threat they grasp the opportunity and treat it as a fantastic opportunity to build business relationships.
