Scarthingwell at The World Cup

Posted by Phil under Inspiration
No Comments

As the World Cup starts today every man and his dog seems to be trying to leverage some marketing angle from it.

Whilst looking around a little in google I came across this site which allows you to view Scarthingwell as if you were at the World Cup.

It’ll drive you nuts after 5 minutes so you may not want to pass it on but it will work for any site you choose.

View Scarthingwell as if you were at the World Cup!

Scarthingwells marketing strategy for 2010

Posted by Phil under Inspiration, Trade shows, Wholesale
No Comments

 

As many of our customers now know, we are not exhibiting at either Interiors Birmingham 2010 or Spring Fair 2010 at the NEC.

Having seen visitor numbers dwindle over the past few years at these events we decided we would take a look at our marketing strategy for 2010 and try some new ideas.

We will be visiting more of our customers who would like to see us this year and we will be visiting more frequently with new more up to date catalogues.

If you would like a visit from a sales rep please call us on 01937 557877 and we will make an appointment with you.

We will also be holding events at our showrooms at Scarthingwell during the year where you can visit and see our new lines ‘in the flesh’ and finally we will be making some further improvements to our website.

 RSS is great if you know how to use it, even better if your customers know.

Most of our customers who use the web will use only a fraction of its capabilities, I would like to show them all today how to use just a little bit more. RSS is a way for websites to let you know when new content has been added to them. I would like all our customers to use our RSS feed to keep them up to date with the latest news and information from Scarthingwell Replicas.

First you need to be reading this page, next follow each instruction as we go along and you will reap all the benefits of subscribing to our feed.

Also on our latest container were a great new range of photo albums and keepsake boxes. These were very popular at the Spring Fair and we have a lot of pre-orders for them. These will be going out very soon and I’m sure will prove to be a great seller in the coming months.

I came across this the other day Barmans Hotdog Story and although the rest of the site may not be to your taste I thought there were lessons to be learned from this post.
