Yeahhh we’re working ourselves out of this recession local, regional and global, and while a positive attitude, perseverance and persistence are totally necessary, we need information too. So if you’re the kind of entrepreneur or business that love to tender for contracts then tendersjamaica.com.jm and caribbeantenders.com should be useful.
Both sites enable companies, government agencies, general institutions to post tenders for projects and consulting opportunities and of course if you’re looking for new business opportunities, you can search and find tenders across more than ten categories – ranging from construction and engineering, marketing and media, education and training, technology and communication.

As I continue to get an increased number of calls and email queries about How Can I use Social Media to market my company, product, music or event it brought to my mind this thought. It doesn’t matter if you’re Grace Kennedy, Digicel, the local restaurant or retail store around the corner, or a musician – no one person or company’s approach on entering social media can be considered is the only way, the right way, the best way. Why? SImply because like with any other marketing channel, at the end of the day it’s about understanding the lay of that land, understanding the inherent opportunities there and developing a unique strategy where your company,your brand, your product meets its goals and effectively as possible leverage the medium.

In September 2007 I could count on my right hand, the amount of Jamaican Facebook groups that existed. Fast forward to now, just over a year later and they are now numbering in the high hundreds and Caribbean people at home and abroad have been pouring online in tens of thousands, to make this an exciting development to watch.

I’ve been in the internet, mobile and tech industry for about ten years and have been a keen observer of Jamaican and Caribbean companies and their willingness to wait and watch what others do first instead of observing, seeking to know, accepting and positioning themselves for the inevitable.
