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.

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.
