By news@gippsland - 21st August 2003 - Back to News

The Gippsland.com Team is keen to hear from business owners who would like to share their experience with others and we have introduced new features and tools to the Gippsland Portal that focus on 'business helping business'

The first among many changes has been the addition of the Useful Business Links page.   On this page, we have published articles contributed by Gippsland business owners willing to share their knowledge and experience with others.

We have had contributions already and are keen to share these with you.

Geoff Clynes from Business Line in Warragul has kindly contributed Marketing Ideas for Small Business, a series of eight articles ~ the first of which has been included on the Useful Business Links page.  Each fortnight, a new article will be added to coincide with the release of the Gippsland.com newsletter. 

Article 1 - Are you a Marketer?

We encourage you to make use of these resources and even consider contributing!
