<p>The survey found that there are various problems experienced, by both removal firms and their clients, when dealing with the completion process of buying and selling property in the UK. Many of these problems are found to occur on a regular basis, making it extremely likely that a <em>smooth home move</em> will rarely be experienced by the vendor or purchaser of a property. <em>Or</em> the staff working behind the scenes helping the customer move home.</p>
<p>Removal companies traditionally have a hard job of packing and moving thousands of cubic metres of furniture, books, clothes and china and glassware each year. After Estate and Letting Agents, Conveyancing Solicitors, Property Surveyors and Mortgage Lendors, removal companies are the 5th supplier to be contacted by customers when moving home, and they are very often forgotten about until the last minute when the house move is only a few days away.</p>
<p>The survey revealed that furniture removal staff, have a unique insight into the property industry, due to the fact that they have to deal with problems at the very end of the property purchase process.</p>
<p>Problems such as end of the month completions, late hand over of keys, uncertainty of the exact completion date until the last minute, busy Friday completions and many other complications were cited as the most problematic issues experienced by removers on a daily basis.</p>
<p>The following graph shows the problems highlighted by removal companies when asked, &#8220;<span class="notranslate">Which of the following problems do you or have you experienced whilst working in the removals industry?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/gp78tadezSHnig8X7K-IsFtQlz*TDoGgbtGY2ju4-R7FrAB1jsBq7cIrrHe*kBaiJo*alAGQg90rc*1ui3pS1TT89gAGbdgW/ProblemsMovingHomeandPropertyConveyancing.png" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/gp78tadezSHnig8X7K-IsFtQlz*TDoGgbtGY2ju4-R7FrAB1jsBq7cIrrHe*kBaiJo*alAGQg90rc*1ui3pS1TT89gAGbdgW/ProblemsMovingHomeandPropertyConveyancing.png?width=650" alt="Removal Companies complete survey to show how many problems they experience between exchange and completion of property purchases" width="650" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Problems and issues between exchange of contract and completion</strong></span></p>
<p>75.9% &#8211; Short Notice Completions</p>
<p>79.3% &#8211; Late hand over of Keys to new property</p>
<p>55.2% &#8211; Same day exchange and completion</p>
<p>55.2% &#8211; Completion falling through at last minute</p>
<p>75.9% &#8211; Delays with exchange and completion</p>
<p>86.2% &#8211; Uncertanty of when the completion will likely take place</p>
<p>82.8% &#8211; Busy Friday completions</p>
<p>89.7% &#8211; End of the month rush of completions with several clients at once</p>
<p>Nicki Sutherland of <a href="http://www.monkeyremovals.com" target="_blank">Monkey Removals</a> in Lincoln who took part in the survey, commented, &#8220;Moving is very stressful and all of the above issues make it so upsetting for some of our customers. From a business point of view, it has the potential to cost us time and money. The most prominent thing however is the distress solicitors cause to their clients.&#8221;</p>
<p>As well as the extra time and effort it takes to make sure the customer&#8217;s move goes as smoothly as possible when problems occur, the extra costs to the customer can sometimes cause the most stress. Stephen Terry of <a href="http://www.anglofrench.co.uk/" target="_blank">Anglo French Euro Removals</a> in Maidstone, Kent says, &#8220;One client we currently have in storage has had 3 provisional moving dates booked with our company and had to cancel all of them at late notice. The main problem is finding something else for the guys that were booked in to conduct the move. Also this client is elderly and getting more stressed by the day!&#8221;</p>
<p>Jane Finch, a Relocation Consultant and owner of a new social network for the Property and Relocation Industry called <a href="http://www.movingetc.tv" target="_blank">Moving etc&#8230; TV</a> says, &#8220;Because most people don&#8217;t have their completion day confirmed until the exchange of contracts, this causes removers many logistical problems which can quite easily be avoided. With better communication between conveyancing solicitors and the customer&#8217;s removal team, some of the above issues could be reduced.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jane points out that many local councils now require 7 &#8211; 14 days notice to suspend parking outside a property and with only a couple of days notice to book a move it is not always possible to plan properly. Therefore customers should try to book their removal company at least 2 &#8211; 3 weeks in advance of their moving date, if possible. This potentially means requesting this same period of time between exchange and completion from your solicitor. That way it will give you enough time for your movers to plan and help you coordinate the logistics of your relocation from one property to another.</p>
<p>Finch admits that there are many problems that need to be sorted out internally within the removals industry, but many more problems are caused because of the knock on effect of the chaotic buying process. &#8220;For example, removal companies are often short staffed when fully booked or have too many staff when not busy. The knock on effect of some of the problems highlighted can cost both the remover and the client a great deal, both in time and money. Removal companies can&#8217;t plan ahead because the job doesn&#8217;t book until just a few days before completion. Then lots of customers all want to book for the same day, meaning movers have to let customers down!&#8221;</p>
<p>One remover based in Scotland commented in the survey, &#8220;The majority of our moves are booked with less than two weeks notice, 65% are booked with less than 1 weeks notice. This results in more removals being undertaken without a survey, so no chance to check parking, volume or access, etc.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another major problem facing removal companies is the regular occurance of late hand over of keys sometimes even after 4 or 5pm on completion day. Berin Riley of <a href="http://www.move-it.co.uk/" target="_blank">Move-it Channelmoving</a> in Ashford, Kent says, &#8220;Frequently, (late hand over of keys) causes financial losses, as clients rarely will agree to extra charges after the event. Unloading at 10pm is not uncommon in these circumstances but we need the vehicle to be emptied to honour the next day&#8217;s bookings.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other property professionals and the general public might think that removal companies are just complaining about the problems in the housing industry and not dealing with them properly, but according to Russell Start, the Managing Director of <a href="http://www.pickfords.com" target="_blank">Pickfords Removals</a>, the largest removal company in the UK, these are very real issues which need to be addressed and not overlooked any longer. &#8220;25 years ago, the time between exchange and completion of contracts used to be anywhere between 14 &#8211; 28 days. This gave the customer enough time to plan their move, notify their utility and telephone suppliers, book their removal company and move in with relative ease. Now we very often see exchange and completion happening on the same day, which can create operational challenges and stress, anxiety, and sometimes additional costs to the client.&#8221;</p>
<p>The results of the survey prove that a longer period of time between exchange and completion of contract is required, along with clarity and transparency, which are desperately needed in the property market. Finch suggests that better planning and awareness is needed by conveyancers, who might not realise the impact of rushing through a property completion for their client.</p>
<p>Moving etc&#8230; who recommend <a href="http://www.movingetc.co.uk" target="_blank">accredited removal companies</a> carried out the survey would like to see several changes made within the property transaction process so that it starts working for everyone, both customer and supplier alike. If you would like to discuss the survey details or possible changes to the property industry further, please contact Jane Finch at <a href="mailto:jane@movingetc.tv" target="_self">jane@movingetc.co.uk</a></p>

<p>The stress of moving home, sky high property prices, tough lending criteria, unemployment and a struggling global economy have all contributed to the near collapse of the property markets all over the world, bursting the worldwide property bubble that we saw before 2007.</p>
<p>With a slow recovery being reported by financial institutions everywhere, it&#8217;s little wonder that those green shoots are taking a long time to grow back and bloom into flower.  With the expected age of the average first time buyer having risen to 38 years old in some parts of the world, because many people just simply can&#8217;t afford or don&#8217;t qualify to get a mortgage, lobbying groups are calling for urgent measures to be taken to get the economy back on it&#8217;s feet again.</p>
<p>Inspired by her career of organising household relocations all over the world, a single mum has set up a new website claiming to &#8220;Take the Stress out of Moving&#8221;.  The website called Moving etc&#8230; TV was created to try and inspire consumers to get back on the ladder and buy and sell property and move home again, whilst allowing property professionals to market themselves and their services to the website visitors.</p>
<p>Since it&#8217;s launch, Moving etc&#8230; TV <a title="Moving etc... TV - Taking the Stress out of Moving" href="http://www.movingetc.tv" target="_blank">http://www.movingetc.tv</a> has grown in leaps and bounds and more and more visitors are being sent by Google, Bing and Yahoo to the website as well as from Facebook, Twitter, Diggit and other social media websites where potential customers might see a link and click through.</p>
<p>Aiming to provide a worldwide relocation resource for home and commercial movers, Moving etc&#8230; TV utilises social media technology so property professionals can easily log in, add content about their company and services, add articles offering expert advice, upload pictures and videos for available properties, update their status which in turn updates their Facebook and Twitter status, add backlinks through to their own website, network with other property people and customers and much more.</p>
<p>Unlike some other social networking websites, Moving etc&#8230; TV is completely open, so all activity is viewable by the public and search engines alike, except internal private emails between members and moderated group activity.</p>
<p>The team behind Moving etc&#8230; TV are hoping to inspire people to get moving again and get the global economy back on it&#8217;s feet.  If not to the levels of 2006/2007, at least to a steady growth so that service providers connected to the property industry start to trade profitably again and homeowners including young families gain enough confidence in the market to buy and sell again.</p>
<p>Jane Finch, Creative Director at Moving etc&#8230; TV and single mum says, &#8220;The property industry has for too long been all about property prices and how much money you can make if you buy or sell this house or that property.  We have forgotten that moving home and relocating from one property to another can be less about and the cost of living, but instead about the quality of life.</p>
<p>&#8220;Who dictates that you have to live in the area or stay where you grew up?  There are some beautiful, low cost areas to live all over the world.  Very often, people choose to stay in one place because it&#8217;s safe and secure, when in fact, a shift in circumstances or new location can usually bring a new lease of life and sense of adventure.&#8221;</p>
<p>Over the years, Finch has helped move hundreds of people locally within the UK, across Europe and Overseas to far off exotic locations.  She points out that if you don&#8217;t see an opportunity for yourself, or see a way out of a sticky situation, life can become pretty hopeless and dull.  Security becomes the norm and when that happens people tend to take less risks, that would otherwise enhance their life.  As we all know, a holiday can be a much welcome stress reliever.  A move to a whole new life can bring back excitement and hope.  Just thinking about what it&#8217;s like to live somewhere else, imagining a whole new life in front of you can go a long way to improving our health, financial status and sense of worth.</p>

<p>Is being a &#8220;bad remover&#8221; a case of having bad manners or a bad business sense?</p>
<p>Or is it just bad management?</p>
<p>Does causing the occasional damage or not turning up to work because you overslept make you a bad removal man?   Does hiring the wrong kind of staff member make you a bad boss, just  because they didn&#8217;t declare that they like stealing from your clients  when they applied for the job?</p>
<p>We often hear from  customers that they were let down on the move day or the crew were late  or they charged more money after the job was done. I&#8217;m sure many of you  know dubious removers who are constantly complained about and have a &#8220;bad&#8221; reputation in the industry.</p>
<p>But how often has a driver not turned up for work and  there&#8217;s been a mad dash in the morning to replace him and get the crew  out on time at your own company?  Or the job has been underestimated or  the client didn&#8217;t declare everything during the survey?  Or a porter  tripped up the step, dropped the mirror and was too embarrassed to let  the client know in case he lost his tip&#8230;.?</p>
<p>Does that make you a &#8220;bad&#8221; remover or is that just &#8220;Removals&#8221;?  Working and living in this industry? Dealing with the everyday problems we all experience?</p>
<p>Having run my own business now for a while I very  quickly learnt that the moment I went out on my own, I &#8220;lost&#8221; my team  members. i.e. the other staff members in the office, the boss who  managed everything, the accounts person who quietly sits chasing the  debt.  Not to mention the pre-existing I.T. system which I took for  granted or the salesman who made the phone calls.  And the quote forms  and terms and conditions that were already designed and had been used  for many years, even by the time I first started working in a large,  established office environment.</p>
<p>Although it seemed like  a good idea at the time, all of a sudden I was on my own &#8211; feeling  free, being my own boss &#8211; but I quickly realised that in fact running a  successful business takes a lot more than experience and knowledge.  You  need to be the manager, the staff member, the web designer, the  accounts person, the investor, the debt collector, the marketeer, the  ideas person, the do-er, the customer service liaison as well as the  estimator and sales person.</p>
<p>However, if you are an analytical, introverted kind of  person who would rather work in the back office than be on the front  line, you may possibly have problems dealing fairly with people and  their problems.  And if you&#8217;re an extroverted person, then you might  have more &#8220;fun&#8221; dealing with people and have trouble sorting out systems  and keeping on top of your accounts.  If you keep coming up with the  next big idea then you might often have lots of unfinished projects and  if you are always the do-er and can&#8217;t think of ways to improve your  business then your company marketing could become stale and have trouble competing in a competitive market.</p>
<p>Having team members who have skills and experience  which are different from your own are essential in making your company a  success.  And being able to leverage those skills, resources and  expertise is the key to making it &#8220;work&#8221;.</p>
<p>One of my  biggest problems in business over the years has been &#8220;How do I go from  earning &#8220;just enough&#8221; with profit? to paying other people to leverage my  time and grow the company whilst still making money, pay the bills and  handle all the staff, train them up and still get all the work done.  I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m not the only business person who has ever struggled with this.  If there is a secret solution to this for business owners, please let me know <strong>;o)</strong></p>
<p>As  some of you may be aware, most NEW removal companies are started either  by someone from within the industry, a removal man or office staff  member, who thinks they can do better than their own boss or who lost  their job and see it as a way to earn better money when they can&#8217;t get  another job during a down turn.  Many are started by someone from  outside of the industry who thinks &#8220;removals&#8221; is an easy way of making a  living because they can pick up a box and hire a transit van off the  local van hire company.  And there&#8217;s nothing wrong with this.  Many  successful removal companies started out this way.</p>
<p>However, I&#8217;m sure that very quickly these  &#8220;entrepreneurs&#8221; experienced some if not all of the problems above at  some time when first starting up and growing their business.  More often than not, learning by trial and error as they go.  They may want to be the best, they can be, but often fall down by not having enough resources or experience.</p>
<p>But  does this make them a bad remover?  Not knowing or having previous  knowledge in running a business?  Be it a Removal firm or any other  company?</p>
<p>So my question is, do we need a national trade association to <em>regulate</em> movers of all ages and experience, or a Removers Business School where  people inside the industry can learn about all aspects of &#8220;running&#8221; a  removal company?  Not just how to export pack china and glass or work  out volume and the number of boxes, but also how to deal with accounts,  customer service, staff management, business finance, choosing the best  I.T. system for your business and much more?</p>
<p>Would customers understand and pay a remover <em>more</em> if they had a &#8220;qualification&#8221; that the public could relate to?  Recent  controversy over whether all BAR members should gain BSEN has shaken up  the industry here in the UK and the ripple effect could potentially be  felt worldwide by other industry trade associations and their members in  the near future.</p>
<p>As a removal company owner would you be interested on  going on a &#8220;Business Management&#8221; course?  Specifically designed for the  industry?  Would you be willing to pay someone else who is giving their  expertise and experience so that you can leverage <em>their</em> time and knowledge for <em>your</em> business?</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t  that essentially what a Trade Association offers?  A way of training  and helping the whole industry?  Not just part of the industry?  An  access to resources that can help your business grow and become more  professional?  A way to become better so removers can gain more  customers, more money, more experience and more expertise, whilst arming  yourselves against problem clients, reducing insurance claims and  gaining knowledge to better improve business for the years to come?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t you do better when you leverage and play as a team?  When you work together?</p>
<p>So  how comes, there&#8217;s still less than 12% of removal companies in the UK  belong to a trade association?  What are they doing wrong to not gain  more dedicated, loyal and committed members?</p>
<p>That  is indeed a very good question.  And one that surely the trade  associations need to examine if they want to win the war over public  perception of our industry and the implications that go with it.</p>
<p>Well there are now <em>five</em> different ways for  removers to learn more about the moving industry, gain qualifications,  learn the business basics and more advanced problem solving from each  other.  These are industry specific and <em>will</em> help you to improve your removal business.</p>
<p><em>You can either </em></p>
<p><strong>Join a Trade Association</strong></p>
<p>Both  the British Association of Removers (BAR) and The National Guild of  Removers and Storers (NGRS) offer reduced cost consultation and courses  which will help you and your removal company.  From basic consultation  and advice through to full Removals Management courses.  Plus other in  house services, member discounts and networking opportunities.  To  contact the BAR go to www.bar.co.uk and to contact the NGRS go to  www.ngrs.co.uk</p>
<p><strong>Contact an external Training company</strong></p>
<p>Bridge  Removals Training + offer courses from basic Manual Handling through to  Driver CPC and more complex managerial courses.  You can contact Bridge  Removals Training + at www.bridgert.co.uk  Pickfords Training  department also offer external courses to non Pickfords staff including  manual handling, packing, health and safety and many more.  To contact  Pickfords Training department contact David Sanderson via email at  david.sanderson@pickfords.com  You can also contact the BAR who offer  training courses to non members as well on 01923 699480</p>
<p><strong>Read a Trade Magazine</strong></p>
<p>If  you are reading this then the chances are that you&#8217;re possibly already  reading a trade mag or would like to subscribe to one.  A long  established trade magazine for the moving industry is the &#8220;En Route&#8221;  Magazine.  You can subscribe to this quite cheaply by sending an email  to sharon@enroutepublishing.com  There is also a brand new trade  magazine being launched in <em>July 2011</em> called &#8220;The Mover&#8221;.  To  subscribe to The Mover email Steve Jordan at  steve@thewordsworkshop.co.uk  If you are a BAR member then you probably  already receive the Removals &amp; Storage magazine.  But if not, then  you can subscribe to the R&amp;S by again contacting the BAR at  info@bar.co.uk</p>
<p><strong>Talk to and meet with each other</strong></p>
<p>As  everyone knows just having a conversation with another remover can give  you insights into ways of improving your business or ideas on how to  deal with problem clients.  There are several ways to network, one of  which will be taking place in November 2011.  The Movers and Storers  show will be held again this year in Telford and you can find out more  about the exhibition and register at www.themoversandstorersshow.co.uk</p>
<p><strong>Online Networking</strong></p>
<p>Social Networks have sometimes been criticised by managers for taking up too much of their employee&#8217;s time.  However, the <strong>Moving etc&#8230; Network</strong> has been designed specifically for people working in the removals  industry.  Including managers, company owners, office staff, removal men  and HGV drivers.  You can discuss industry issues, look for trade  partners, find backloads, get help and advice about business matters,  insurance, trucks, customers and staff and much more.</p>
<p>Online  social networking for business on the Moving etc&#8230; Network is for  everything else the other options above don&#8217;t or can&#8217;t always offer.  Instant answers via email, help from other movers on a daily basic,  &#8220;free&#8221; advice and guidance for all those problems that until now you  have just &#8220;put up&#8221; with, an open space to ask that silly question you  always wanted answered &#8211; even at 12 midnight &#8211; and a great atmosphere  for you to grow and learn as much as you can whilst helping others.</p>
<p>Now with nearly 800 members, over 1260 Bulletin Board  posts, 500+ blogs and articles, more than 1150 photos and videos and  many industry related groups and events, the Moving etc&#8230; Network is a  great online meeting place where you can learn more about the great  industry you work in whilst networking with other removers just as  passionate about the industry as you.</p>
<p>Joining is free to staff working for a removal company and you can easily sign up at <a href="http://www.movingetcnetwork.com" target="_blank"><strong>www.movingetcnetwork.com</strong></a></p>
<p>In  the meantime if you are already experienced and want to tackle the  &#8220;cowboy&#8221; remover problem and  gain that all important edge over your  competitor, you can become a Moving etc&#8230;  Recommended Removal Company  if you belong to a recognised industry trade  association.  Membership  costs from just £35.00 per month and your  company details will be added  to no less than 4 different industry related websites which will help you with your own SEO efforts, all  with JUST trade association members listed.</p>

<p>When one of the members of a removal forum was approached by the charity, he posted the job details on the Moving etc&#8230; Network for other forum members to see. A couple of movers replied and now there is a team of about 6 different removal companies involved to collect the gifts from various locations throughout England, including several UK movers and a Bulgarian removal firm who will be transporting the goods straight to the children in his home country.</p>
<p>Jane Finch owner of the social network for the removal companies says &#8220;I am inspired everyday watching the generous efforts of the Movers and to see how companies who were once competitors are now working together completely free of charge for a cause higher than themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>Charlene Bradford from A Bright Start for Bulgarian Orphans says &#8220;I am so overjoyed, happy, chuffed to bits, etc etc, as to how Vince and the team has helped me. I want to tell the whole world about what these people have done for us, I really can’t thank them enough!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www,movingetcnetwork.com" target="_blank">Moving etc&#8230; Network</a> was started so that staff working within the removal, storage and shipping industry could work together to solve problems, discuss industry issues and find backloads so their removal lorries run at full capacity and profit and the benefits can be passed onto their clients. They can now also help each other with moving customers who would once have had trouble booking a removal company during busy periods, when most removal companies are fully booked and sometimes have to let clients down if they give short notice due to the short time frame between exchange and completion.</p>
<p>Davide Vittorio Gismondi from Euro UK Moves Group and Vince Robinson from Dee and Dee Removals are coordinating the collections within the UK. Vince comments &#8220;The Moving etc&#8230; Network has made this task very simple, without it we would be back to emails and numerous phone calls.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jane Finch freely admits that the Christmas gift collection might have even been turned away without the powerful technology of Social Media. &#8220;Before when the customer had called a removal company there was a great probability that they might well have said they couldn&#8217;t do the job because they didn&#8217;t have the resources or funds to carry out such a removal free of charge whilst incurring costs of their own. But now the removers can see exactly what&#8217;s going on around the country and with several movers working together it makes the job of transporting goods anywhere that much easier. Like a massive network of depots and removal trucks throughout the world, all connected together by one central website.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every day I see removal companies working together to get their client&#8217;s goods delivered, working in harmony using great teamwork. Even when just the day before they could have both been competing for the same job.&#8221; says Finch.</p>
<p>The Bulgarian Orphanage Christmas gifts are currently being consolidated for onward transportation and the shipment should arrive in Bulgaria in plenty of time so the children receive their presents on Christmas morning.</p>
<p>Jane Finch has also just launched a new social network for the Property and Relocation Industry called Moving etc&#8230; TV. Here Property Professionals can join forces to help their clients find resources when moving home. Finch is hoping that the same kind of teamwork will work between Estate Agents, Solicitors, Surveyors and Removers.</p>
<p>&#8220;We get contacted all the time by people who are selling their property and don&#8217;t have anywhere to move to in the new area they will be living in. Right now I know of at least 6 customers moving to Scotland, London, Somerset, France and Singapore who have no accomodation to move into when their goods arrive. If Removal Companies can pass on referrals to Estate Agents at the client&#8217;s destination, and vice versa then hopefully it might relieve some of the stress of moving home for our customers.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.movingetc.tv" target="_blank">Moving etc&#8230; TV</a> is free to join for Estate Agents, Solicitors, Mortgage Advisors and Surveyors</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://movingetcgroup.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/moving-etc-tv-big.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1231" title="Moving etc tv big" src="http://movingetcgroup.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/moving-etc-tv-big.jpg?w=468&#038;h=80" alt="Moving etc... TV is a social network created exclusively for the regulated and accredited removals and property industry " width="468" height="80" /></a></p>
<p>Following on from the success of the Moving etc&#8230; Network  (<a href="http://www.movingetcnetwork.com/" target="_blank">http://www.movingetcnetwork.com</a>) a private forum and social network for  removal companies and their staff, which now has well over 600 members since Christmas,  Moving etc&#8230; have launched a new social network especially created  for the property and relocation industries.</p>
<p>Estate agents, solicitors, mortgage advisors, surveyors, property  investors and moving companies are able to upload  pictures and videos of property for sale, advertise their services, blog  about what their company gets up to, release company news, discuss  issues, help clients with their queries and connect with other property  professionals on the Moving etc&#8230; TV.</p>
<p>If you work in the property industry can join at <strong><a href="http://www.movingetc.tv/" target="_blank">www.movingetc.tv</a></strong> and unlike the Moving etc&#8230; Network which is completely closed to the  public so movers can discuss industry issues and subcontract and share  work in private, the Moving etc&#8230; TV has a dedicated directory of  members and is open to the search engines and the public alike. Customers can  easily find out what it&#8217;s like to move to a new area, find an estate  agent at destination, book and rate their removal company, ask advice  from solicitors and much more.</p>
<p>The only stipulation of joining the Moving etc&#8230; TV is that if you are a removal company, you must belong to a recognised moving industry trade association.  This is because Moving etc&#8230; only recommend regulated and accredited removal companies to the public.</p>
<div>
<p>For just 25.00 GBP (37 USD or 18 Euros) per month, members will be able  to advertise their company in a multitude of ways and create a special  place on the internet where moving house doesn&#8217;t seem so daunting or  stressful.</p>
</div>
<div>&#8220;We&#8217;re very excited about the upcoming launch.&#8221; says Jane Finch, creator  of both Moving etc&#8230; TV and the Moving etc&#8230; Network. &#8220;The internet  and social media have opened up possibilities and avenues that companies  and the public have never been privy to before. &#8220;By creating a social network exclusively for moving home, the content  will be dictated by property and moving professionals who&#8217;s sole purpose  is to help their clients succeed in their relocation with respect and integrity.</div>
<div>
<p>&#8220;Members can fill it up with the best advice for moving home, hints and  tips on how to pack, property news and solutions for expats. They can  help clients with their legal problems like gazumping and other issues  related to their house sale, let clients know when their next available  truck leaves for Switzerland or Scotland and much more. All the while  promoting their own company across the website and on the internet.&#8221;  says Finch</p>
<p>Unlike Facebook which is getting more and more secure and hiding  personal information from it&#8217;s members who aren&#8217;t yet connected, the  Moving etc&#8230; TV is completely open so company contact information can  easily be found allowing members to be contacted by potential customers  for very little cost.</p>
<p>Jane Finch says, &#8220;Members of the Moving etc&#8230; TV don&#8217;t have to worry  about expensive web development costs for changing their own websites,  they can just add content on ME TV and link back to their own site.   Linkbacks will help improve their own Google page rank and the more  active a member is, the more information he or she will be spreading on  the internet for potential customers to see.  Both about the best way to move house and their own company.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just like an article submission site, you can easily add content to  promote your company and gain more work and more recognition online.   But this time you can add pictures and videos as well.</p>
<p>Moving etc&#8230; TV will be going live on Sunday 1st August 2010 and property  and moving professionals are invited to join before the launch date.</p>
</div>
<p>There is just one restriction.  Moving etc&#8230; only market out and recommend regulated  removal companies so that customers move with a safe remover who have to  abide by certain standards. Therefore any removal company who joins  must belong to a recognised trade body who regulates the moving  industry.</p>
<div>
<p>If you qualify and would like to join the Moving etc&#8230; TV, please sign  up at <strong><a href="http://www.movingetc.tv/" target="_blank">http://www.movingetc.tv</a></strong> today.</p>
</div>
<p>If you don&#8217;t qualify, you can still join the Moving etc&#8230; Network at <strong><a href="http://www.movingetcnetwork.com/" target="_blank">www.movingetcnetwork.com</a></strong> and learn from other movers, share work and discuss industry issues.</p>
<p>Make your online activity productive and help Moving etc&#8230; Take the Stress out of Moving</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you may have realised that our marketing efforts have been a bit quiet lately.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because we have been busy upgrading the old website so that it is more search engine friendly with a much more modern look and feel.</p>
<p>The new Moving etc&#8230; website for recommending <a href="http://www.movingetc.co.uk" target="_blank">accredited removal companies</a> will blend in with our new branding to include the <a href="http://www.movingetcnetwork.com" target="_blank">Moving etc&#8230; Network,</a> Moving etc&#8230; TV, (which we&#8217;ll be letting you know about soon) and our blogs, which will be getting a new facelift as well.</p>
<p>Although the old website was a great system, easy to use and update with information, it wasn&#8217;t created to be searched by Google and so relied on us spending loads of money on Google Adwords, and yellow pages adverts.  </p>
<p>The new site is very organic and can be easily updated whilst remaining fresh and search engine friendly.</p>
<p>Because of the upgrade some of our old links still show up on Google at the moment and all visitors to the old site are being redirected to the new homepage.  Once Google starts to spider the new site properly, the old google searches will disappear and the SEs will start to send visitors to the new pages.</p>
<p>During the last 4 months we have also been changing over all the old links on the blogs, articles and websites that we&#8217;ve been using to promote out our recommended removal companies.</p>
<p>Again, over time this will help the search engines find the information it needs and customers will be visiting the correct pages.</p>
<p>We will be blogging and article writing again from 1st May &#8220;officially&#8221; and promoting our recommended removal companies again in earnest.</p>
<p>The two pictures below show the old site which was clunky and not very pretty and the new site, which we think is quite beautiful.  </p>
<p>We know it&#8217;s a bit bare at the moment, but that&#8217;s just a technicality and very easy to fix.  Please excuse the picture on the right which has been taken from the network.  That&#8217;s just a quick fix whilst we prepare that lovely pictures of our recommended movers.</p>
<p>Please continue to bare with us during this transition period as we go from one phase to the next and really create Moving etc&#8230; as a recognisable and trusted brand within the Moving Industry.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll update you all soon once more changes have been made to <a href="http://www.movingetc.co.uk" target="_blank">www.movingetc.co.uk</a> and I promise I&#8217;ll explain about Moving etc&#8230; TV soon as well ;o)</p>
