HOW to make your web work! That's the guidance for members of the thriving Bury Business Network at its latest meeting at the town's Bolholt Country Park Hotel.

Gordon Jones from Gregory-Jones Marketing & Communications, gave the first of his two-part presentation "Marketing Over the Web" at the meeting. The second presentation will take place on October 29.

It will cover: developing a promotional strategy, banner advertising, e-mail marketing and market research benefits. At the latest meeting Nigel Billings and a colleague from Hand-On Computer Solutions Ltd, which is Sage Advisor of the Year, gave a short but detailed presentation of Sage, particularly relating to accounting for small businesses.
