| | | No Comment |  Hot on the heels of our launch into Africa with our media, marketing and advertising news last week (www.www.bizcommunity.com), Bizcommunity.com today launches Business Services to add value to our high-end, top LSM readership, many of whom run their own agencies or consultancies and are in leadership positions in this industry. There are also a fair number of entrepreneurs, due to the very nature of the communications business, and it is for this reason we are providing additional news and information on services and product news across Management, including tax and legal and business processes, Office Equipment and Technology, including communications technology. This industry also travels a lot, always being on the look out for that new venue for a new launch or industry party or film/ad shoot, so we will be bringing you new venues and business travel specials in Business Travel; and of course, with the movement towards living an authentic life gaining momentum and people wanting quality at work, Corporate Wellness is the next logical step to provide stress relief. And for this high-rolling, big spending industry, no value-added services would be complete without a Motoring section to provide the latest and greatest vehicles, for which motoring journalist Henri Geyser will be contributing the news. The above new value-adds will in no way dilute our core content and will be accessible from the website at www.bizcommunity.com and from links in the daily and weekly ezines. To submit news to these new sections or advertise, please go to www.bizcommunity.com/SubmitNews.aspx.
Have a great day! Louise Marsland, editor: editor@bizcommunity.com
