In the name of good vibes that flow on a Friday, SNOBS has launched Fab Finds Friday: a roundup of handy, brilliant, beautiful, fun and informative stuff from the interweb-week-that-was.
With our “Fab Finds” categorised by the content sections that already exist at SNOBS, it’s kinda like a big dose of everything we have to offer – but without us having to write it. Woo hoo! Fridays ROCK!
KNOW IT ALL is where we store useful information on all aspects of business, including the business that is your personal development. You’ll find stuff on topics like: target marketing and branding, social media trends, employee management and leadership, increasing customer loyalty, etc.
FAB FIND: Wanna know where your customers are spending when the purse strings are tightened? We found the Ten Buyer Behaviour Trends in a Recession at Matt Granfield’s blog. Matt is a columnist for Marketing Magazine; he interviewed researcher Jules Starck for these insights.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS is about looking after what you’ve built. That is; staying on top of news, developments and other external factors that could affect you – plus knowing how to manage things internally. Are you complying with regulations? Do you meet legal and taxation obligations?
FAB FIND: A handy quiz at the Queensland Government’s Smart Small Business site. The Dispute Resolution Quiz helps you discover how much you know about resolving disputes in your business and offers advice on how to reduce the impact and find further assistance.
