It might just be me, but, the link does not work on your freeindex page to your website.

Hi

Your website / domain name has not been renewed in time, so no one can reach your site at the moment.

If you are serious about your business, you need to hire a skilled person to create a simple but Google-friendly website, and sort your search engine optimisation, so your site can be found in Google.

A new website and a great Pay Per Click campaigne can help raise the exposure you will recieve at much cheaper than pre printed flyiers that may get binned. Pay Per Click ads only cost you when some that is actually interested clicks on the link... where as a leaflet may just get binned and never read.

Please contact me at my website for more info on a great new website an PPC adverts - http://www.spicerdesigns.com/

I strongly advise you to capitalise on contacts in your existing customer base to gain introductions to their peers in similar companies. In my experience a senior contact in any organisation will know many others in similar companies.   There is no better salesman on your behalf than a satisfied customer who is prepared to recommend you to others in his own network.

This is a form of viral marketing and as you gain access to the new customers you gain access to their peer group.

Hi Jason,

Difficult to say where you're going wrong without knowing what you're doing at the moment. One thing I suggest you do as a matter of urgency is to get your website up and running again. A website is often the first port of call for new contacts.

Effective marketing requires an integrated approach. All your marketing activities should be designed to support your overall strategy. Do you know where you're different from the competition? Do you have a marketing plan in place? Are you communicating a consistent message? In your communications, are you focusing on benefits to your (potential) customers or on features of the services you offer? Are you measuring the effectiveness of your marketing activities?

I'd be interested to find out how you market your company and services at present, and to explore what improvements can be made. If you want to have a chat about it, feel free to give me a call; alternatively drop me a line and I'll get in touch.

Good luck!

Saskia
