Ever Thought of Hosting a BBQ Party for 100 Guests?

Ever Thought of Hosting a BBQ Party for 100 Guests?











BBQBarbecues help to address large BBQ party issues with a new article release!


Evesham, Worcestershire (PRWEB UK) 23 April 2012

As the season for barbecuing approaches, it’s almost religious for the British to get out in the half-decent weather and setup a BBQ for a couple of friends. But what if your passion for barbecuing exceeds just pleasing a few of your friends? What if a whole event could be catered for by using a barbecue? Well, have a read through some parts below and get a couple of ideas.

Holding a barbecue for 100 people or more? It can be a great way to feed everyone, whether it’s for a birthday party, anniversary or even a wedding. But there’s no denying that there’s quite a lot of work involved. So before starting, think about enlisting some helpers to aid with preparing the side dishes, marinading the meats – and for actually handling the barbecue itself.

For most large barbecues simplicity is the order of the day, unless it’s for a very special occasion, such as a wedding, when going the extra mile will really pay off.

If things are being kept simple, just stick to burgers in buns and sausages in rolls, and provide extras such as cheese slices, onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard. This way, the cutlery requirements are kept down to an absolute minimum.

Scott Morris, marketing manager commented on the distribution of this article: “We’re hoping to get the article out there so that thousands of people can see that hosting a barbecue party isn’t as daunting as it first sounds. Even if they are still scared by the prospect of cooking BBQ food for a hundred people, we’ve included tips and techniques to manage this as best as possible. Hopefully this catches on, because I wouldn’t mind going to weddings where there was actually good meaty food, rather than all these dainty crab cakes and things – I want meat!”

A good tip if the budget is constrained and the freezer only has a limited supply of meat is to arrange the buffet table so that the guests help themselves to salads, relishes, breads and so on first, so that they don’t fill their plates with meat – scandalous.

Hopefully the boys at BBQBarbecues have persuaded some people to cook up some of these delicious 100-guest feasts; if not, stick to BBQ’ing with friends because even if things burn and turn out lame, nobody will care. After all, that’s what friends are for.

Flymo-Mowers.co.uk Shaping Lawns for the Future!

Flymo-Mowers.co.uk Shaping Lawns for the Future!











Flymo-Mowers set-up for summer with some new innovative Flymo mowers


(PRWEB UK) 29 March 2012

Flymo-Mowers (FM) are currently one of the leading online retailers for Flymo lawnmowers in the UK. After the website started up in 2011, there has been significant marketing and optimization employed on site and this has generated large amounts of traffic, causing its position in Google and other search engines to rise continually.

With continued success in the first quarter of 2012, Flymo-Mowers decided to extend the range of mowers on site with some new Flymo products. With the summer season quickly sneaking up on us, there’s no doubt people will already have summer gardening equipment on their mind; and the boys & girls at FM are more than aware of this. As such, they’ve been researching products over the last few months and analysing their own to see where they aren’t providing customers with enough choice; the result – more mowers.

However, not everyone wants to fork out £100’s just to cut their lawn. That’s fine, because they’ve obviously latched onto this fact as the new range of mowers slot into a low-price bracket on the site.

Lee Taylor, the product manager at Flymo-Mowers was more than enthusiastic to comment on some of the new mowers added to the site; he stated: “These Flymo mowers are terrific; there are features on these mowers that I haven’t seen on any others before. Flymo undoubtedly lead the class when it comes to innovation on their products. It’s not the type of innovation that makes you think ‘that’s crazy, but not useful’, they’ve actually incorporated features that will help everyday users such as myself; just simple little things here and there make all the difference.”

The website is a sub-site of the well-known Toolbox brand-name that populates the UK internet with anything and everything associated with tools. The Flymo-Mowers site takes on the framework & structure of its parents; this provides users with a highly usable website that’s easy to navigate and safe/secure to purchase from.

Scott Morris, marketing manager added the following: “When it comes to products like this, we ensure the descriptions are top quality as little features in the mowers might be a deciding factor in whether or not a customer purchases or not. Therefore, all product images and descriptions are accurate to a high degree, it also helps users visualise the product before seeing it in the flesh. We find this provides the customer with more confidence to buy online rather than on a shop floor.”

Flymo-Mowers.co.uk operates under the Toolbox brand which resides on the Plumbworld Network. This large e-commerce network boasts an astonishing 50+ websites selling everything from pillar drills and bathroom suites to Franke sinks and decorating tools. Plumbworld was an early pioneer of online trading, started by James and Anita Hickman in 1999 and sold to the Grafton Group PLC in December 2006. The business now employs more than 50 people in its purpose built warehouse and offices and has a total turnover in excess of £18 million and is growing at more than 20% year on year.

Good Weather = Good Sales for GardenToolbox

Good Weather = Good Sales for GardenToolbox











GardenToolbox loves the nice weather – get buying and get outside!


(PRWEB UK) 22 March 2012

As the weather becomes more enticing for people to spend time outdoors, the demand and traffic for garden tools and a variety of other products continues to rise.

It’s not uncommon for weather to affect businesses; some companies are even completely based around weather dependant circumstances. Snow shovels and umbrellas are just two examples of equipment meant for particular types of weather, safe to say, both products, are quite big sellers.

March has already seen a 20% rise in both sales and website visitors on the GardenToolbox website. Seeing as the website hasn’t been running any special promotions or made any vast changes to their marketing strategy, one can only put this significant increase down to the weather and changing of season.

People are coming from far and near looking for the latest gardening equipment; whether it’s something as simple as a garden kneeler or much more expensive like a chainsaw – people are looking to buy in preparation for spring & summer.

Scott Morris, Marketing manager at GardenToolbox was quoted to have said: “We’re well aware of the affect the weather has on consumer buying habits, that’s why we try and cater for the type of weather ahead of us. If spring/summer are just around the corner, we ensure all our summer products are leading the market in regards to pricing; we also check the descriptions are still accurate (as some change from the date of uploading), and we ensure the picture reflects the latest version of a product. This is just some of the work that goes on behind the scenes to prepare for different seasons and how people tend to shop.”

James Cook, another member of the Marketing team commented: “There are obviously some products that sell all year round, wheelbarrows and pressure washers for example. Then there are season-dependant products such as hoses, sprinklers and leaf blowers which are all relevant to specific seasons & climates. It takes a while to identify all of these different types of products, but then we can optimize them and make sure customers are presented with ‘seasonal products’ upon entering the website. 90% of the time, a visitor will be searching the site for a season related product, this makes the searching and buying process that bit simpler – efficiency is the key to online selling!”

The marketing boys provided a good run down on why weather and seasons can play such a large role in a business and how managing changes between seasons can directly affect sales.

GardenToolbox operates under the Plumbworld Network name which boasts an astonishing 50+ websites selling everything from pillar drills and bathroom suites to toilet seats and decorating tools. Plumbworld was an early pioneer of online trading, started by James and Anita Hickman in 1999 and sold to the Grafton Group PLC in December 2006.

The Little Company That Could…

The Little Company That Could…











An installed vanity from a satisfied client.


Quinlan, TX (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

With the ever growing popularity of online shoppers, many consumers are turning to purchasing items from the comfort of their home. While this is much more preferable to some people, there are still many others that like to see an item in person before purchasing it. “That’s the problem with buying stuff online: What you get is not always exactly what was pictured and a lot of the time returning that item is a huge hassle. Either you can’t get someone on the phone, or you’re forced to send it back blind, hoping that you don’t have to fight to get a charge back to your credit card,” says Deborah Ketzer, a woman who has turned to online shopping for many of her purchases. “It’s almost easier to just go into the store and buy something. That way you get a much more personal experience and you know you’re going to be taken care of.”

Julia Ritzenthaler, owner of Unique Online Furniture, a group of e-boutiques that offer unique bathroom vanities and other home furnishings, knew that the sentiments Ketzer shared were common. Many consumers like the convenience of ordering from home, but don’t feel the security of dealing with the companies they are ordering from. That’s why, when she started her business in 2005, she made it a personal and professional goal to become one of the first and few “e-tailers” that offer quality items online without losing the brick and mortar experience. “We want clients to feel like someone is shaking their hand when they purchase from us. If you call, we’re going to answer. And if we can’t–you can rest assured that someone is going to call you back in a timely fashion.”

Developing a business model that was client focused wasn’t difficult for Ritzenthaler. “It was actually very simple. I just applied the ‘Golden Rule’ to my business plan: Treat clients as you would like to be treated.” What seems to be such a simple concept is actually one that many online retailers are ignoring and it shows. In a study done by Right Now Technologies, Inc. after the 2011 holiday shopping season, it was found that 32% of people interviewed had such a negative experience shopping online that they posted on the companies social media sites–and were ignored. Of that 32%, 61% said they would have been “shocked” if a retailer responded.

Ritzenthaler’s company can be found at the opposite end of these statistics. With a A Rating from the Better Business Bureau and no complaints–EVER–she and her team are proud to work for an American small business that still sees the client experience as an investment and not an expense. They are not just “the little company that could,” but the company that DOES. This can be seen not only in their BBB rating but additionally in their 5 star rating from Google, one of the many places that online consumers can now share and rate their experiences.

This business owner’s advice to consumers is very simple: “Do your homework.” She advises consumers to look into sites like the Better Business Bureau and other review sites before giving a company any business. Additionally, she recommends calling the company that you are looking to purchase from. Do they have client support staff to answer the phone? And if they do, are they knowledgeable? In her experience, Ritzenthaler notes, “You can tell a lot about a company by the systems they have in place to take care of clients and how effectively they do so.”
