QR Codes & QR Code Marketing 5th October 2011 6:22 PM

Must admit it is interesting how the QR codes are now everywhere and yet 7/8 months ago people were asking,

“absolutely no idea what a QR code is....”

I think you're right Steve, it's all about increasing the interaction. Interesting article here about Macys giving users 30 second videos with fashion and decorating tips from the likes of Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger....

It's clearly the way forward, another tool to add to all the others in the marketing online world!

Best tactics for a new website 27th September 2011 2:07 PM

I wouldn't concern yourself too much over that, once you've got the key things covered off that Steve has mentioned above, just make sure you keep adding content that's relevant - which by default - should have some keywords with it.

This is often where a lot of people fall down, as they don't add content once they have a website in place. It's needs to be updated with new (good and relevant) content to help in search rankings.

The speaking clock.. 22nd July 2011 8:37 PM

Guess how many calls a year are still made to the speaking clock?

I'm not sure if it's you get it in other countries so as a summary in the UK you can dial a telephone number (123) to find out the time.

In this day and age you would wonder why anybody would need the service. As a clue I well and truly under estimated.....

...30 million calls a year!!

At 31p a call I make that over

Record profits for Apple! 20th July 2011 12:59 PM

Yes - was to be expected. What will be interesting is what they will come up with next?

Now that there are more and more companies bringing their versions of the iPad to the market Apple could do with something new/innovative again to keep them ahead of the game otherwise it will start to hit their profits.
