Every single DVD retailer these days seems to have it's own pricing policy on individual titles. Some will use individual titles as a loss leader while some will buy large amounts of stock on a good selling title when it hits the right price. Yet quite often, if you just do a straight order on a specific title it will come back to you at the full list price. It makes far more sense to see who is selling it the cheapest at any given time without having to do all the leg work. Watchily compares the price and availability ... Read more

It is a fundamental human trait to need to ask questions and get responses. In the old days when we tended to live in smaller communities this was possible with face-to-face communication. However, as society has grown it has become impractical for one person to communicate their thoughts and news with everyone on a daily basis. Then newspapers and printed media entered the scene offering content and insight to a broader crowd. Then came the digital age and then came CivicBoom. It's a news app that connects the people that have news content with the people that need it. Read more

Like any industry event or networking opportunity the annual conference of ˈwhatever it might beˈ needs at least some basic research before you commit to attending.You’ll be bombarded with emails from conference organizers even if you work in an industry with the most tenuous of links to the principal subject but then of course you would be.Their job is to fill the hall or conference center and justify delegate charges and trade stand fees therefore their standard marketing approach is along the lines of; "The event you simply can’t afford to miss!"Heard it all before?
