DAMO ’ SBITS

Howdy All .
This year shall be a tough one for those who do not rely on builders for their main source of work .
Invest in some job signs , they are the cheapest form of advertising and market your company 24hrs a day . Make sure you display the MPA logo and your MPA Rego No . It does get work , as the staff receive many calls from consumers checking on the rego numbers displayed on job signs . Basic Job signs are available from the MPA office @ $ 60 each .
On a brighter note , for those who do not have a computer , I urge you to invest in one . It really does help streamline and grow your business , and utilises the full benefits of your membership by receiving all the up to date information via the Pipeline email newsletter and gives you 24hrs access to information in the member ’ s area on the website .
We are in the process of organising a great line-up of Guest speakers for our members meetings this year . We are looking at Experts in the field on Tax Issues , Fairwork ,
