Marketing Eye is in franchising phase 1 and as such, when we talk to potential franchisees and describe our view on them taking up a localised franchise we explain it like this:-
- We don’t except industry standard – if we are not better than that, then we shouldn’t be consultants advising clients what to do
- We focus on small business growth – end of story
- Our experienced team will remind you why owning your own business (a Marketing Eye Franchise) is the greatest reward for having a successful career in marketing.

If you are a small business owner, you would have had many occasions where you were ready to tear your hair out. There is so much to think about; finances, staff, customers, your product/service and of course marketing – bringing in the business!

Is your start up finished before it even starts?
Like it or not, a good business does not just rely on good products or services. The success of your start up will be built on whether people know about you, like you and trust you enough to part with their dollars. The key to achieving this is how effectively you communicate your products or services to your customers – and that’s where Marketing Eye comes in.

$8 million dollars for clever PR?
The David Jones saga continues and I have to say, that I probably am of the opinion that David Jones and Mark McGuinness are being played just so some young girl can make a few million. More than she ever would have made in her entire career.

2010 – My Year!
How many of us spend time thinking about what our New Year’s resolutions are going to be and never let them see light of day?
I am an avid believer in planning and setting goals so New Year’s Resolutions are integral to my life both professionally and personally. In many cases, I actually follow them through because they are realistic, ambitious and achievable.
On New Year’s Eve I sat around with a group of friends of mine and pondered what our New Year’s resolutions should be.
I wrote down 12, everyone else wrote down 1.
Interesting!

Jennifer Hawkins… Now seriously!
Dear Jen,
Whilst I think it’s great that you have posed nude showing off what you call a healthy body image by a role model, I also think you may be a bit off the mark. At least on this topic.
