dn signs off for 2006
Well, here we are…almost the end of 2006. As well as being the traditional time of year for excess…and the stress over buying and giving of presents…the bills that go with them, and the pondering over whether you really, really will begin that diet in the New Year, Christmas is also the time for reflection. I don’t mean the usual cliché about the meaning of season (though I guess it wouldn’t do us any harm to give pause for that too). What I’m thinking is this is the time for looking back; reviewing and reflecting upon the past twelve months.
So have you taken stock yet? How did you do this year? Excellently, we hope. And we here at duly noted®? Well, looking over the past twelve months, I can say that we’ve certainly made big strides on our journey towards helping IP owners with their rights. And those steps haven’t necessarily been easy ones either, involving tough choices – more than a few of them being a little scary, truth to tell. In the end though, we followed Virgin boss Richard Branson’s mantra and said, “Screw it, let’s do it”. After all, it hasn’t seemed to have done him much harm!
Now, almost twelve months after January 1st, here we are; we’ve re-launched our site, offering new services (duly formed company formations) and expanded others (duly registered’s bundles registrations, and duly saved with massively increased data storage). Yes, more registrations, more storage capacity – and at a lower price! That’s right, we even lowered our charges. (That got one or two of the team sweating during the summer, I can tell you!) If you didn’t see any of our other improvements we hope you noticed that!
Yes, sir; a lot of hard work, but producing great benefits for you, our clients.
As I said though, we’ve made strides, but the journey’s still ongoing; we’ve a long way to go yet towards helping IP owners with their rights. What we’re doing now isn’t all we want to do, not by a long chalk. It’s our hope that with this coming year, we’ll be able to implement more offerings that can help you learn how best to protect and promote your work.
May you also achieve your aims in the next twelve months.
As ever, wishing you success and a Merry Christmas.
