Budget Day: Brace for Impact
Tomorrow is Budget Day. And it's going to be big. Below is a brief description of what you can expect on the News Alerts front - and the ones you should respond to. We now work closely with all major publishers, national and local. They LOVE our content because you lot know your onions and SAY IT AS IT IS. No PR fluff. So there will be ENDLESS opportunities for you to share your views. And we have three ex-NATIONAL newspaper journalists helping us cover all the BIG stories.
In the meantime, if you're not on one of our paid subscriptions, you can get 50% off Premium, Platinum and Editor for a month with the discount code - ENXIDSCH - that ends at midnight tonight. So loads of responses for as little as £25, the price of a latte in Ibiza. Just upgrade from the settings section of your Newspage. Hell, by COB tomorrow, you could be famous.
- Some News Alerts will be sent to everyone. They will ask you for your general thoughts on the Budget as a business owner or charity. Everyone can respond. The subject field of those alerts will start with ‘Budget General’. There will be plenty of these — so don’t worry, if something gets your goat, you can get it off your chest and the media will see it.
- Some News Alerts will be very niche and focused on technical areas such as IHT, pensions and salary sacrifice. ONLY respond to these alerts if you are a qualified expert in those fields. Do not respond to them if you are a pet therapist as journalists will NOT quote you, under any circumstance, EVER (unless you’re a pet therapist and chartered accountant or wealth manager). The subject field of those alerts will start with ‘Budget Niche’.
- We will be doing a News Alert later in the day where you can suggest stories that you think should be covered but perhaps haven’t been. Again, anyone can respond to that.
Lastly, the live feeds of all major news media have asked us for video responses for tomorrow AM sharp - last message to the Chancellor. Already got a great one in from an accountant who doesn’t stare at his feet. AMAZING. Grab a can of Tennents / peppermint tea and respond >> here << by midnight. You can do it.
