Creative Solutions - Marketing, P.R. & Events

If your not sure what Twitter is or what it can do for you, take a look at the video below which should give you a better understanding of what Twitter does. What it can do for you in your personal or business life is limited only by your imagination.

Want to try it out (it’s free by the way) go here twitter.com and sign up.

Then come back here and get started by following some true visionaries in the field of new media and social networking for business:

Then be sure to follow our company Creative Solutions: http://twitter.com/creativempe ,

and two of our events - Spirit of the Sea: http://twitter.com/spiritofthesea and The Solwey Challenge: http://twitter.com/solweychallenge

We can see if you follow us and so we just might follow you back!

Oh, and by the way this blog post is automatically sent out as a “Tweet” so people who are already following Creative Solutions get a link to this post and any others since they started following us.

Twitter might not be around forever, but it’s a simple idea that has caught the imagination of millions (about 3 million is a reasonable estimate). Get an account and try it out, then send us a message using @creativempe in your message to tell us what you think.

Today we have decided that the credit crunch, downturn, recession whatever you want to call it is well and truly behind us and we want to help encourage other businesses to join our crusade and march forward without looking back.

Business is still plentiful for those that are bold enough to go out looking for it, the problem is as you probably already know is that it is harder to get as conversion rates have plummeted.

So what we need to do is find more prospects to make the numbers work, if we need 5 clients a month with a prospect to order conversion rate on 1 in 10 (in better times 1 in 5) then we need to find cost effective ways to produce 50 leads - this is where your marketing strategy comes in.

We would like to help you get started and have launched our FREE marketing advice email helpdesk where any business can ask us a question about marketing and one of our experts will gladly help.

Welcome to our crusade

Congratulations to our client Commodore Yachting www.commodore-yachting.com who posted an article in a news forum which was linked to their blog Lynx Effect Destroyed by Raging Fire and lead to an increase in traffic to their website of over 8 times normal over a total of five days - who says blogging doesn’t work

We have been looking at social networking campaigns for several of our clients over the last few weeks and have seen dramatic increases in the traffic to their website.

If you are thinking about embarking on a campaign of your own then check out this article which explains the benfits and downfalls:
