Is your business keeping up?
The recession means that the way your customers spend their money has changed.
The question is, is your business keeping up? Or does your business still market your product or service to your customers in the same old way?
You set up your business because you're good at what you do. The problem is, with all it takes to run your business you are probably spending more time IN your business rather than ON your business, meaning you don't always have the time to develop it to its full potential. One area you can't afford to skimp on is effective marketing to bring in new customers and keep hold of the one's you've got. It's the life blood of your business. That's where Fresh Ideas Marketing can help.
My aim is to empower you to spend more time on your business, not just in your business.
Because I prefer to give a personal face-to-face service my focus is on being an approachable marketing adviser providing practical marketing advice to SME businesses, professionals and the self-employed in the East and West Midlands, including Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Birmingham.
However, if you like the marketing information that you read on my website and want to know how I can help you but your business is not in the East or West Midlands, just give me a ring on 0845 47 47 486 and we can discuss how I can help you with my practical marketing advice.

What is Google Places and why as a business should you use this tool? Google Places is probably the biggest change in natural search engine optimisation for a long time. It replaces the old Google Local system and seems to carry a lot more weight in search engine results listings. It taps into the trend for people being more interested in local products and services partly driven by harder economic times.
Google Places gives your business the opportunity to be found when your potential customers search for local products and services on Google using web listing and maps. This online marketing tool provides people with a location map and information about your business. But what is even more valuable, is that the Google Places listings appear on the first page of a Google search, giving you that vital high search engine visibility.
This in itself is a great way too improve your online presence. Even better news, is that getting a Google Places listing is free.
