Many businesses in the south were compelled to close during Operation Cast Lead due to the rocket fire at the area.  As a result, many were caught up in economic difficulties, which were added to the problems stemming from the global economic crisis.  Many of these businesses are currently working to rebuild and re-market their products.
  
Monday, 2.2.09, at 10:00, the Oz site forum will host Dr. Ofer Zellermayer, a marketing expert from the Ono Academic College and an adviser to many companies.  He will answer questions regarding re-marketing and re-advertising business that were hurt as a result of the security and economic situations.  Business owners in the south are invited to enter the forum and send in their questions.
 
On the Oz site, business owners will find relevant information that has been collected for them, including useful links and a guide to compensation for businesses and employees.
