Take advantage of the start of the New Year to give yourself a marketing shake down and refresh. This is the chance to reflect, review, plan and act for success! After my successful New Year Marketing Masterclass, I wanted to share a few tips on how to make 2015 a brilliant year for your business.
Step 1 – Evaluate, review & reflect – Look back on last year and properly evaluate your business’ performance, not simply on face value or just on your bank balance, but also in terms of hours spent on each project, difficulties you encountered on any given revenue stream and also the projects that gave you most fulfilment. It’s the right time to reflect if you would be happy to have another year like 2014 or not. If you would, then think how to sustain this positive curve, if not then what should you change for a better result.
Step 2 – Plan for Success – Having an in depth marketing plan will help you to clarify your objectives, understand your company, customers and competition and create an action plan for marketing your business with deadlines and people who will be held accountable for the actions. Take the time to make a proper plan if you want to promote your company effectively, it is an invaluable business tool.
Step 3 – Work smart – Make the most of your resources and concentrate your efforts on tasks that generate the most income and give you the most satisfaction.
Step 4 – Be up to date with the trends – There are a number of interesting trends to watch and keep up with this year to make the most of your marketing, here are just a few –

“POOR DATA PROTECTION PRACTICES RISK DAMAGING YOU MOST VALUABLE ASSET – YOUR CORPORATE REPUTATION”
Thursday 12th February 2015, 10.00-13.00, Andalucia Lab, Marbella
Trainer – Data Protection Expert & Professional Trainer Peter Bosbury
Course Overview
If you and your personnel do not know or understand how to maintain confidentiality of information, or, how to secure it appropriately, not only do you risk having one of your most valuable business assets (information) mishandled, inappropriately used, or obtained by unauthorized persons, your organisation also risks being non-compliant when viewed against the requirements of the European and Spanish Data Protection legislation.
Protecting Data held by businesses is not only essential ethically, but also, demanded legislatively. The Foundations course acts both as an introduction to the topic of Data Protection and as an annual Continuous Professional Development (CPD) refresher course for all employees.
This 3 hour Data Protection Foundations course is geared to promote knowledge and understanding of individuals and companies, their roles and responsibilities when dealing with Data and, in particular, recognising the difficulties of Data Risk Management in the world of modern cross-border communications in the 21st Century. The course makes use of videos, interactive practical sessions and full presentation facilities to communicate the material. There are a number of hand-outs made available for delegates to take back into their work place for future reference.
Cost – 75€ per person
To book your place please email info@shawmarketingservices.com
