A Growing Trend in Soil TestingIn spite of initial fears about the cost, the Complete Soil Balance Analysis continues to grow in popularity. So much so, that it may soon become our 'Standard' soil test. In an effort to support this growing trend, we will be launching a promotional campaign during Spring 2008. Commencing in August, every customer submitting a sample for Complete Soil Balance Analysis will also receive a FREE pre-publication copy of Ted's new book: "The Mikhail System To assist our agents in taking advantage of this trend in soil testing, Ted is also offering to present an information workshop based on this book, for customers who ordered a Complete soil test and have received their copy. To be eligible, agents need to send (or generate) at least 40 samples during the promotional period from 1 July to 31 September 2008 (inclusive). The workshops will be held at a time and venue organised by the agent, after the close of the campaign. The workshop will be Free to all the agent's customers who had a Complete Soil Balance Analysis during the period above (provided there are at least 40 invitations to be sent out of course). All agents are eligible to participate, but those interested in taking advantage of this promotion should contact SWEP about promotional materials that will soon be available. This will include the usual kits, example reports and fact sheets, plus a new promotional flier and sample copies of Ted's book to show your clients. New WebsitesEarlier this year, we launched a new information website for home gardeners: www.home-garden-soil-improvement.com The generally "How To" nature of the information on this site has proven very popular and so we have decided to set up a farming version to help further increase the accessibility of our information. The new site: www.farm-soil-improvement.com will be launched shortly and the three sites will then be integrated into a more user friendly system (more about this later). The first few pages of the new site are already up and more will be following soon. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.
