WAYS TO OBTAIN MEDIA
COVERAGE FOR YOUR BUSINESS
There’s no such thing as bad
publicity (or so they say). Even
if that’s not the case, some
positive press can make a huge
difference to your business.
Cecelia Haddad explains how to
get noticed.
CCESS RULES
Jerry Tyrell has recently
Introduced ‘the RULES project’
that, in conjunction with
Connection Magazines, is being
prepared in part as a valid
alternative to the sometimes
hard to determine Australian
Standards.
COMPACT PUMP-UP SOLUTION
It’s fairly to take the humble
toilet for granted. Until it needs
to be replaced or a new one
needs to be installed, that is.
Saniflo has developed a compact
toilet solution that is not only
aesthetically appealing and easy
to install but cost effective too.
PLUMBING GOES TO BOLLYWOOD
India’s economy will outpace
China’s this year and could one
day be the world’s largest, so
maybe we should be taking more
than a passing interest in what’s
happening on the sub-continent
from a plumbing sector point of
view.
NDIA’S TOILET REVOLUTION
At this moment, government
inspectors are combing the
Indian countryside. Their quarry
being the many toilet-less
homes still found dotting the
subcontinent.
