Social Sites 15th May 2018 4:59 PM

Good question Andy.

Like Rebecca though, tend to concentrate on Facebook and Twitter, although mainly Facebook because it works well for us. Not been on pinterest for yonks. Even Linkedin and Google+ is once in a blue moon

But different site suit different businesses so if it's working for you, good news and start pushing it.

How much should you pay for a logo design? 24th March 2018 2:54 PM

Great idea for a thread. Our MLS logo was already created when I bought the site back in 2006. Although we rebuilt the site from scratch and the only thing we kept was the logo albeit in different colours! So actually worked out to be quite expensive

But has the elaborate logo had it’s day? Look at most of the modern big brands and its more about text and font rather than logo.

We had a local designer come up with logo concepts for a new project a few years ago and proved to be a good exercise. Think he gave us about 8 different alternatives, then we drilled down to a single design. Think cost was a couple of hundred quid which for work done seemed pretty reasonable.

Very nice Andy, how you getting on with it?

I've got a Fuji Finepix SL1000 bridge camera, had it for a few years but is perfect for me as it gives me the illusion I know what I'm doing when in fact it does all the hard work for you

Google Data - How shoppers find ideas 10th January 2018 11:02 AM

There is a really useful Google resource called think with Google

It gives fascinating insights into some of the data they collect, and how this can be interpreted across different market segments.

The latest one is all about how shoppers find ideas and inspiration using Google search, and how you can position your own marketing and keywords accordingly.
