Gareth Johnson There's a really easy way of inviting people to a facebook group. A lot of people think you have to manually click on each friend to invite them which, i’ve found out in the past, if you have a lot of friends it can take forever and leave you with a sore finger from clicking! Getting Started 1. Log on to www.facebook.com 2. Join for free and add your details. 3. You’ll be sent a confirmation email - click on the link to confirm. 4. Click onto your profile picture and choose to upload a photo of yourself. Step 1: Click ‘Invite people to come’. Then, when the page appears with all your friends faces in boxes on, you will see in the left hand side ‘Filter Friends’. Click that and a drop down menu will appear saying ‘friends list’ ‘family’ then all the various networks your friends are from like Leeds, London etc. Step 2: Click the ‘Leeds’ network so it just invites people from Leeds. Then on the right-hand side of that page it will say ‘ALL ’ and ‘SELECTED’ (0). Underneath that it will say ‘Select All’. Click on that and it will select everyone that hasn’t already been invited to my party and then just scroll down the bottom & click ‘Send invitations’. Da-dah! Job Done! Printed, laminated & trimmed to my spec and the cheapest quote I could find - only £21 for an AO print! Reinhold Behringer 5.

Marketing can cover a multitude of exercises from word-of-mouth to complex TV campaigns and events. You should continue to market your business when times are good and especially when times are tough. Marketing may simply take the form of a questionnaire filled out every time a purchase is made to find out from your customers what they think about you and how you can improve what you do. This can be a chance to start to collect a database of clients. When the database reaches a large enough point you can then start to send out offers, newsletters or deals to keep in touch. Always give the client the chance to opt out of this contract and offer the client incentives, prizes, money-off etc. It will cost far less to talk to existing clients than it would be to gain a new one!

The first 2 hints below refer to the first few lines of this code after the header. Take a minute to go through each step to see if your site is up to date and SEO friendly. choosing the right web agency 1. Title Tag While containing the name of your company, the title tag should also contain specific keyword phrases relevant to your business and should read as normally as possible for your specific arena ie Smith and Jones Accountants in Leeds West Yorkshire. DO’S&DON’TS for your business... DO look at their portfolio, find out how long they have been in business and what experience they have in your chosen area. DO ask how many members of staff will be working on your site and who the main point of contact will be throughout. DO question what SEO experience they have and whether that will be applied as they are building the site. DO ask if the site will be on its own server, a shared server or a virtual server. Some companies will hire part of a server from a hosting company which will contain sites from other companies which can put yours at risk. DO ask for an estimate of how long the project will take and if you can pay in installments over that time. DO get estimated completion dates for design, build and testing of your website. DON’T accept the first quote you get - shop around a little. DON’T pay anything up front. 2. Meta Description Not really relevant for SEO ranking but the description that appears when you are found on Google, so make it descriptive and relevant to what you do and what the customer wants to find. 3. Site Map Add a HTML site map to your site. A single page that links to all pages on your site if you are small, important pages only if you are larger. This will allow the search engine spiders to find all you site from one spot. Ask your SEO company about the Google XML site map. 4. Emphasize Underline, bold, strong and italics on each page - keywords will make these words stand out to search engines. 5. Prioritise Make sure the copy on your site is highly relevant to each page title, contains relevant keywords throughout and above all is readable by your clients. www.deepblue-digital.co.uk 0113 237 0555 To find out more about the many benefits DeepBlue-Digital can offer your business, or for a Free Quote, call Emma Cook on: DIGITAL MARKETING AGENCY DeepBlue Digital is the web-based arm of DTH Advertising Ltd. 0113 237 0555 0113 237 0555 REE to our F sign upwsletter at Simply terly Ne quar tal.co.uk blue-digeir our deep nd Ent w a prize dra te quarterly on the websi ils are full deta e feraefor 2 m l Zouk & DeepBlue Create Stampede!

A lifesize baby elephant prop was at the entrance (a real one was decided against after much thought), along with street performers and fire-eaters, who wowed the crowds. Deepblue-Digital arranged everything from the invitations, catering, demonstrations - even the fire-eaters! We backed up the evening with press releases, personalised invites and adverts in the local papers.
