Is anyone else busy in August?

Less time at the pool this year!

Sorry I’ve been a little quiet of late, but I have been snowed under, doing a weekly email campaign for my European Holiday Rental client, working with an event organiser to create their websites, Twitter and advertising campaign, creating a marketing plan for a new investment company and signing a contract with a leading firm of opticians.

I am thrilled to be this busy, but it rather flies in the face of my assumption that nothing ever happens for non-tourist related businesses in the summer.

Client Case Study – Project 2 Invest

Project 2 Invest set up on the Costa del Sol in 2008 to give investors the opportunity to profit from the booming Russian property market. Shaw Marketing Services worked with Project 2 Invest over a six month period to launch their company in Spain.

Staying Healthy on Your Summer Holiday in Marbella

Well, summer is finally here and we’re enjoying the hot days and warm evenings on the terrace again and getting ready for our holidays. Most people work really hard to get that bikini body, but then let it all go when they’re actually away.

So I asked our resident health & fitness expert Anita Chaperon of website FitHappyHealthy to give us her top 5 tips for staying healthy on holiday so we don’t undo all our hard work when we’re away.

Health & Fitness Feature

I’m pleased to introduce our first guest blogger Anita Chaperon, author of the healthy living programme Fit, Happy & Healthy. She will be writing monthly posts for the blog about health and fitness, which should be great to help you lose a few pounds to look better in your bikini, or just feel better and get some more energy.

Anita has made nutrition and fitness the main focus of her life for the past 17 years and put all this knowledge and experience into this great weight-loss programme. I like her approach as it is sensible, healthy and sustainable and really made sense to me when I read it as it looks beyond simply what we eat and at why we actually eat it.

What a week!

This week’s been super-busy, dealing with clients, doing loads of networking and getting our new leaflets and business cards printed which you can see in the picture here. Our re-brand has been a while in the making, but we’ve finally got everything ready to go. We’re very excited about our new look and we’re offering a free marketing brainstorm session to celebrate. This gives any company the opportunity to meet with me for half an hour to discuss their marketing needs and generate some new ideas and things to try. If you want to book your brainstorming meeting, please email me on info@shawmarketingservices.com.

Live music in Marbella this summer

Marbella is great in the summer time with shows and events building to a peak. This year there’s loads of great things going on with a packed programme of concerts, here’s a run down.

Fire in Marbella Car Park

On Thursday night we were out on our terrace and heard a loud bang and then another which we thought might be a particularly loud firework. When we looked over the side of the building we realised that a car had exploded in the car...
