    Hi all,
    I've recently set up a beauty salon in Galway. Do any (good) marketing students out there want to use our business as a marketing project by helping us promote and brand the business?
    We need help getting with our branding and also getting noticed in general - in a big way. We can't pay you but it would be great experience for anyone who wants a career in that area.
    If interested pm me.

    Thanks!

    That's particularly generous of you -

    That's really, really rich.

    I will speak out if I ever feel that people/business are trying to exploit students on the back of 'oh, it will be great on you CV' type of sh1t.

    Try sticking your hand in your pocket for work that will, ultimately, bring revenue to you.

    You don't have to dig too deep - but surely the work that will increase your turnover shouldn't be a gift.

    dudara - there is no malice or intentional provocation in my comments. I simply am voicing my opinion.

    In the interest of a 'happy Friday' I will desist.

    I would support Blue4ever's sentiments, why would a business owner expect another to work for zero?

    OP, I would suggest you outline more about your services, how you cost them and perhaps make a 'no money changes hands' deal ie offer a contra-trade payment?

    A win-win is surely a better outcome?
