Tweetdeck, the most useful Twitter Tool

As the use of Twitter gains momentum and users are getting on the bandwagon to utilise this new way of conducting business, we are having multiple conversations with our clients that normally start with 'I tweeted once and now don't know what to do...'

Speaking to many of our clients it is apparent that they are getting overwhelmed with the amount of data that can be thrown at you in seconds from Twitter, so we thought we would share our favourite application that manages your Twitter account - TweetDeck

In our opinion you really can't Tweet without this program helping you so if you haven't already taken a look we strongly advise you do... read more here

Your Online Profile - is yours up-to-date?

Thanks to Neale James of Breathe Pictures for highlighting this area as a topic to talk about this month. One area that companies can easily get wrong (but just as easily put right) is your online profile. With the introduction of Web 2.0 we normally have to log in to most of the websites we now visit and input varying degrees of data about ourselves and our company.

Well actually this is the most important area in Social Networking but quite frequently an area thats left blank and not fully populated (we're all guilty of the "I'll do it later" - and then never quite get round to it)

Make sure your profile is accurately reflecting you and your company - it could be the difference between your telephone ringing or not, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression!

 eSOURCE Limited

The Hidden Gem in Newbury Town Centre, well not any more!!

In marketing its important that your message and brand fits with your quality of service, eSOURCE recognised that their service was streets ahead of their competitors but actually they weren't telling anyone about it!

The old website just didn't reflect their dynamic, growing company - so we decided to change that and launch a new one, and with a monthly service package, their marketing is growing from strength to strength and actually reflects the quality of the support that they demonstrate on a daily basis to their clients.

If you need an uplift for your business then give us a call you can read how we helped eSOURCE here
