HelpStopCruelty said… - HelpStopCruelty said…I have found a government petition that hasn't had much promotion and it needs to get 200 signatures by 21/08/09 to be put forward to government officials, at the moment it has 121.
Please could you sign this petition to help end live animal skinning in China, it would be a shame for it not to reach its target.
The link is http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/ChineseCruelty/
Thank you very much!!

- About Me:
- I'm Creatively Minded by name (well - business name)
and Creatively Minded by nature.
I'm Creative Director of our Refreshingly Different Design Service and Editor of The SME Brand News.
I'm a Business Image Expert helping independent professionals and small business owners to take advantage of their business image, exploiting it to win more high margin clients.
If you are a business owner want to discover something that adds value
to your business consider this . . .
As an ethical business I'm sure you want to portray a clear message of the benefits you offer and follow that up with a genuine product or service that your customers can trust in. It is important to make sure you consistently portray your strong values and the character of your ethical brand as this will influence your sales growth.
Your business image as a whole has the power to give you an advantage and compel more of your ideal clients to pay good money for your product or service.
Put your clients into categories,
The ones
"that are a pain, want everything for nothing and you never want to work with again"
The ones
"that are ok but their loyalty will be easily swayed / last as long as your special offer"
The ones
"that are good and will come back to you in the future but don't have a lot of money to spend"
The ones . . .
"that are your IDEAL high margin customers . . .
They trust you.
They are Loyal.
They are Happy to pay good money for a good product/service.
They will be your advocate and recommend you to others."
Which category wins? If you want to improve the stats in the IDEAL customer category, get in touch for some genuine constructive advice.

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet
Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
