We're NOT Here To Argue, Debate OR Deliberate On Whether Your Offline Ads Work OR Not..We're Here To Help!

Struggling to keep up with all the recent changes to Facebook, Google and the whole advertising and marketing landscape in general. 

We can help with both your online & offline, and we know where we'd recommend you spend your ad budget to get YOU more bang for your buck!

Biz owners have more choices than ever before, now with digital ads taking over print and soon TV - The whole digital landscape has changed massively in recent years. Numerous ad platforms give advertisers and biz owners more choice than ever before. Recent changes to Facebook and Google means most biz owners are left #Baffled. But WE CAN HELP !!!

It's a full time job to keep up with this fast paced landscape of online digital marketing & advertising. 

OFFLINE Ads are expensive and Digital Ads is where it is at.  These offer highly targeted & cost effective advertising. Which is why if you need help, you should commission our services and outsource to us, as we have an amazing team of industry experts, with over 100 years' experience in our chosen fields including our MBA consultant, a team of programmers & developers, plus our "Award Winning" Graphic Designer.

We can help you with our expertise &  knowledge that generate our clients proven RESULTS! It's like having your own highly skilled and capable marketing department but we take away the stress and the hassle!

It beggars belief that a biz owner would rather struggle to keep up and would rather throw their money at advertising offline for example in a low circulating magazine, with an expensive gunshot ad campaign, hoping that somebody, somewhere, who is interested in his very "niche" target market see's their ad. Which let's face it is very highly unlikely to happen. Therefore offering little ROI (if any). Which is why the biz owner claims "advertising & marketing doesn't work." 

If you don't advertise or market your business? How will anyone know you have something to sell...?

It's about ensuring your marketing and advertising DOES work, that you are projecting the right image and message to your target audience & when it comes to advertising, the more targeted your ads are, the more likely they are to convert and generate ROI. SIMPLES !!!

We deliver qualified leads and targeted traffic to your business, with proven results & testimonials which is guaranteed proof we deliver results. Every business needs qualified leads and traffic. We offer this, plus much more. 

We deliver your ads ALL OVER THE INTERNET. PLUS we can target your website traffic with tracking pixels and retarget them with specific ads exactly tailored to your products and services they are interested in. 

From biz owners saying "tracking pixels" sounds dodge and unethical, to another who claimed our ad platform cannot possibly be bigger than Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo (incidentally, we are in partnership with Facebook Ad Xchange, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, OpenX, our platform includes 27 of the other major ad exchange platforms in the world). Well - IT IS. Why is this? Because we use all of these! 

We're not here to argue or debate about whether your offline ads work or not. While you deliberate, we'll be helping the other companies and organisations who realise they need help!

Why Your Business Needs A Blog

 A Blog is hugely important to your business & most business owners often neglect the importance of a Blog.

 The main priority is that you have control of your #Blog. IT is yours. Unlike a Facebook page or Twitter account (which you do have degree of control over, but please always bear in mind, it's not yours). Your Facebook page could be closed down or even worse look at what happened to Bebo.. ? Anyone remember it ? Everyone left Bebo in droves to join Facebook. 

 Your blog is YOURS. You have complete control, unless you don't pay your hosting provider of course! You can utilise your blog to inform your target market (and people who are interested in hearing about your products/services) about any company news i.e. Staff Recruitment/Situations Vacant, Offers, Corporate Days Out, Contracts Won etc.

 Google rewards organisations who publish their own content on their blog, as it gives Google these all important "Social Signals" we talk about in our Corrie D Marketing social media training sessions. Google can see the traffic flowing from your blog to your Facebook Page or e.g. Blog to your organisations Twitter account or any other social media networks to your blog etc. By using "Key Words" it also helps with your organic #SEO. 

 All of the websites we design & develop come with a FREE Blog as standard. Remember the 3 E's of #SocialMediaMarketing -

1  #Educate 
2  #Entertain 
3  #Engage

  We also have professional journalists on our team who can ghost write your copy content for your blog (if you don't have the time and would prefer us to do this for you). OR if perhaps you have a subject you feel is a little bit boring...? You'd be surprised how many businesses owners we speak to on a daily basis who think their business isn't sexy enough to warrant having a Blog they believe that no-one would be interested in reading their company news etc. In fact very recently we heard feedback which ranges from an example of  recent conversations :-  e.g. "We supply stationery to businesses but we think this subject is boring and no-one is interested eg when Biro release a new pen they don't write a blog about it! Plus we don't really know what to write." 

Sound like you? Our team of journalists can help!

Social Signals 

 If you have ever taken our social media training workshops or attended any of our courses you will already be aware of those all important "Social Signals" as Google rewards traffic flowing from your Blog to your Facebook page and your Twitter to your Blog etc. You will also know which social networks have THE BEST Social Signals on the web. If you would like to attend any of our training sessions we offer group training or we also offer a more intensive 121 personalised training sessions tailored and structured to suit your individual business. 

Remember the 3 E's of social media marketing - Educate, Entertain & Engage!

Facebook Groups 

We're always banging on about the importance of Facebook Ads however if you don't have a Facebook Groups we recommend you should create at least one of these. Target your family, friends, work colleagues etc. Within your "niche" who have a joint beliefs/values/interests.

Once you've created the group add your friends (it's important to remember that only people can create and post to groups). However you can post links to your business pages. You can post information, polls and chat to everyone at once. 

Facebook Ads

 FacebookAds is a highly targeted and cost effective advertising platform and is one of the best social networks for social signals on the web. People divulge to Facebook all sorts of information you can target with your Facebook Ad Campaigns i.e. When they got engaged. Expecting a baby, Age, Geographical Location, Books they've read, Films/Movies they've watched, Brands & Celebrities they like. What do you think this means for your business ... If you don't know call us and we can help create and manage your ad campaigns or we offer training. Everything we do is DIY (Do It Yourself) or DFY (Done For You) Fully Managed Service.
