I hope you had a nice festive break and are recharged and revitalized for the coming year 
Thanks for the support over the last year. I know we have a lot of lurkers and casual readers, it would be nice to see more people joining in, but it's also nice to hear that a lot of people do look at the content on the forum and find it useful.
Late last year we did a survey of businesses which generated 180 responses and has absolutely buried us in superb feedback about how different industries approach marketing. From this survey it became apparent how many do use the forum, so we will make a bigger effort this year to keep it updated with useful content and archive some of the older stuff.
The amount of data collected has taken us by surprise, so we have been experimenting on the best way to visually present it, making it useful for new business owners and experienced ones alike. The plan is to get this uploaded before the end of January and we will discuss some of the findings in more detail on the forum in the weeks and months to come.
Let's look forward to an optimistic and positive year and sharing as many ideas and solving as many challenges and problems as we can
