Your Questions About Direct Marketing Solutions

You have the right to be notified when they will be showing potential purchasers round the property, and the right to remain there until you are asked to leave.

By whay you said above, you have a 2 month rolling contract, so you will have a minimum of 2 moths notice before you have to move out of the property. Likewise, if you find a new property in the meanwhile, you only have to give 2 months notice.

As you will have a shorthold tenancy agreement, you will not have any rights as s sitting tenant, and will need to be out of the property before the landlord can exchange contracts (on a vacant posesion basis). On the other hand, if they are selling to another property ‘investor’ the new landlords may want or be willing for you to stay in the property. If a new ffamily buys it, however, they will want to take posession themselves and you will ave to move out.

Either way, it its not your property so your options are limited, unless you can buy the property from your landlord, which may be a good solution!

Hi noodles
i suppose the cheapest laptop at the moment is the asus ecc pc which is £199 however its limited to just a 5gb solid state hard drive,great for travelling but no good for general use
for a good all purpose laptop then the MESH MSI VR601 T2 (http://www.meshcomputers.com/Default.aspx?PAGE=PRODUCTVIEWPAGE&USG=PRODUCT&ENT=PRODUCT&KEY=355423)is a class laptop and has some class hardware aswell
the processor comes in the shape of the Intel® Core™ Duo T2330 Dual Core Processor (1.6GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB),a good all round cpu,with some excellent power,and the memory is supplied in the shape of a 2GB DDR2 667MHz Memory (2x1GB),this is the standard offering in most of todays laptops and is plenty for most everyday tasks
the graphics card is the 128MB Intel GMA X3100 Integrated Graphics,this is the first of intels direct x 10 intergrated chips and is pretty good for a onboard solution,and can play some games at lower resolutions
the 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive is quite big for a laptop and the DVD Super Format Dual Layer DVD Writer +R/-R/RW/RAM has plenty of formats including the much neglected dvd-ram format
the 15.4″ WXGA TFT display is also a standard offering however its picture quality is good,however if you want a 17″ display then the MESH MSI ER710 (http://www.meshcomputers.com/Default.aspx?PAGE=PRODUCTVIEWPAGE&USG=PRODUCT&ENT=PRODUCT&KEY=332739&APPS=234471)is a better choice,and this also uses the AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK53 Dual Core Mobile Processor ,a good and powerful laptop processor,this also uses the 128MB ATI Mobile Radeon Xpress 1270 Integrated Graphics,still not brilliant but better than the intel onboard solution
both these laptops have some sterling qualities and are powerful in their own rights,however if you dont want to play games then you can make some good savings when buying a laptop,as the price of laptops with powerful graphics adapter are much higher then laptops with intergrated solutions
also try http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/,this company stock surplus laptops and desktop p.c,s and have some excellent “new” and “used” laptops,they also come with some decent warrantys

Ways to advertise your Electronic Security Systems(including CCTV,Fire Alarm,Burglar ALarm Smoke Detection etc.).

1) You need to create your cooperate identity with a custom embroidery company. Create your logo and business name on your cooperate apparel.

2) Put the logo on your Auto

3) Make up business cards and hand them out. Every time you see someone you know hand several of them out. When you give people your business card, always give them more than one and ask them to give them to their friends/coworkers, etc. Print up flyers and post them on public boards if there are any near you and post in a forums that related to your location if there are any!

4) The key for this kind of business is word-of-mouth. Think of some clever ways to encourage your existing clients to tell people about you. Perhaps you could start with a friend or family member to be one of your “spokesperson”. I owned a convenience store for 10 years and a lot of business deals started in the checkout line by strangers. Tell everyone about you and ask if they know anyone that could use your service. Ask for a referral from an existing client

5) Start a website as a way to advertise you. Let your website work for you and your clients swap links. When making your own web site do some research on how to optimize your site so that you get a good ranking with a natural search. You do this by embedding smart key words. Your website could show your community involvement and you could have questions and answers on the site.

6) Look for websites that you can advertise for free. Advertise in the Yahoo local. Find free on-line classified web sites for your community. Typically the local chamber of commerce will offer such a service. You can advertise here for free: http://www.hits2u.com/?149843

First of all, make sure you know your definitions. Instead of ‘doing the solutions to negative externalities’ you should say correcting market failure – a misallocation of resources, where resources are not used to gain the best possible good.

The ways of correcting market failure can be remembered by TENCLL – Taxation, Education, Nationalisation of businesses, Compensating the victim, Laws, Legislations.

Advantages of correcting market failure are that you can ‘internalise the externalities’. In a market, businesses are only in it for their own self interest and so they do not consider the social cost (private cost + externality). From a business point of view, vodka companies are only interested in profit and not compensating and paying for the problems of liver disease, noise pollution and violence etc. Ryan Air are not interested in paying to compensate for the air pollution caused by excessive air travel. This is why the government need to impose taxes (direct and indirect) to ensure that this market failure is corrected and that the companies accept responsibilty for the externalities they cause.

Advantages – Businesses pay for the externalities so other people and the government don’t have to. In the case of alcohol, any VAT and excise taxes are given to the government and can be reallocated into merit goods and services such as hospitals, health centres etc. So even though consuming alcohol may produce health problems for consumers, the businesses are paying for treatment and effectively donating money towards improving fitness of citizens.

Taxation increases the price of demerit goods and a higher price should lead to a fall in demand for the product, depending on the price elasticity. Education makes people aware of the negative effects of what they consume which may lead people to cut back on consuming demerit goods and services. Nationalisation means that the government can control the supply of demerit goods – in some American states the government owns distilleries which means they can control how much alcohol people consume. Compensating the victim is like what I said about reallocating taxes from demerit goods/services into merit goods/services and laws and legislations also give the government more control over businesses.

Advantages of a subsidy is that it incentivises a firm to produce at a social optimum level (MSB=MPC), which would have been expensive to a firm prior to the subsidy.

Disadvantages – (I keep using the alcohol example but it’s one I know a lot about lol) If a good is inelastic in demand, then adding high levels of tax may lead to a decrease in the quality of life for the consumer. Say that a man is on a minimum wage and likes to drink alcohol to unwind, or maybe someone is alcoholic and spends most of their money on alcohol. An increase in tax will lead to an increase in the price of the alcohol, but as alcohol is addictive and there are few substitutes, the consumer will continue to buy the good. The higher price means they are spending more of their disposable income and therefore have less to spend on vital needs such as food, clothing, hygiene products, rent etc. This could drive people into poverty. Or it may drive them onto other cheaper demerit goods and substitutes such as drugs. A similar situation occurs when companies shift the tax onto the consumer as a form of ‘hidden tax’ – it leaves the consumer more out of pocket. Higher prices may also result in inflation in the economy which is not desirable.

If businesses are heavily taxed then they are disincentivised to produce as the have smaller profit margins. Firms may be driven out of the market – why should a company carry on producing if they are being heavily punished for it?

Main disadvantage of a subsidy is that it is the taxpayers who are paying for it, and this is often very unpopular with the public!
