What a day, 3 biggest jobs of the day all got stopped ! What a pain, made up for that with a sausage and bacon roll, met the wife down the shops for a coffee , all hunky dory today :smile: Picking my eldest daughter up from the train station tonight back from Newcastle Uni and only 2 weeks to Disney. So be on the beer about 10.30 tonight
Been stuck in Bournemouth all week, I'm getting too old for this manual labour lark:frown:. Stayed at another hotel that claims to have free wifi in all rooms but can't even muster a phone signal; mind you it was cheap, place was packed full of old scottish biddies on the rampage...I got chatted up by one of them, if I'd had one more pint she would have got the shock of her life...
Today I finally received my headlights so hopefully they will be on by the middle of next week, what a difference in the clarity of the projectors compared to the factory...you can literally see right in
I made new friends today We have been raising money for comic relief today Watching men tortured having legs waxed was fun
Getting in the results for my first ever Facebook advertising campaign. Exciting stuff! Day one, ad seen by 18'000 people for a paltry 20 quid. That's not bad, is it? Very interested to see what happens over the next days.
What line of business is the ad for Glid? I'd be interested to hear if you convert some of those viewers to customers.
Facebook....RR approaching 0.0001% lol Hope it bucks the trend and works for you, for £20 anything is worth a punt!
Prepared for tomorrow's "Six Nations" party. Bought 180 pints of ale, arranged delivery of food from local pub and set up 70 inch TV with surround sound. England had better win!!!!
For the Apple Mac shop I work for part time. They've been there for 15 years, and have a very loyal customer base with great word of mouth. But 14 of those years they were on a first floor and completely invisible. Boss (a friend of mine) seems to think that everyone knows them, but they don't. We now have a shop with a proper shop front window. People are continually coming in saying they had no idea there was a Mac shop in town. My view is that there are reams of people who have no idea the shop exists - hence the new ad campaign. Small shops can't afford much in the way of advertising. I reckon FB is the way to go. The 18'000 impressions with an OTS so far of 2.7 has generated 49 clicks and 3 new likes. As I say, for 24 hours and 20 quid, I reckon that's a result. CTR compares favourably with FB averages (but that is only one day's data). I'll be wiser still in 10 days time.
FB is a good way to go ... I also have a basic web site with weebley and come quite high up in searches .. Then you can check out your data of hits .. Which reminds me next time I'm awake to update it all and see how I'm coming up on search engines.. Really must do that ( slaps wrists). I'm not a business ... Or out for rent ...
Not poxy slept a wink again .. This is really getting me vexed now .. I go back to work after weekend I'm going to be useless. By dam pea brain won't shut off or chill out ..
Another cost free way is to get the (local or not so local) press to do a story on the shop. Papers and mags need stories to sell themselves. A Story with a pic is worth a 100 times an advert, as most people deliberatley skip ads unless they are in the market for something.
Seeing as SWMBO is going to Leeds shopping with her next door I think I may just mooch around bike shops for the day.
Yes, we already do PR when we can. We on on the TV a few months ago. We also have a database of 12'000 addresses, though only 4'000 email addresses. We use that too from time to time - try not to spam people.
I had 12 hours sleep last night, unheard of for me. Been working away all week, grafting on a building site then going to a pub every night, all with a raging backache, it's really knackered me out. I'm too old for this caper. More of the same next week...
found that hard 25 plus years back, working away, fitting air con & such, sleeping in digs, drinking every night, the older blokes i worked with drank like fish,alway pissed, at work or not ,,,,, i was too lightwieght, scarpered off to be a sainsburys refrigeration engineer ; )
The job's worth it; we're making a decent profit out of this job if it all goes well. But as we've just lost a big maintenance contract I can see us doing more work like this, so I'm just going to have to get used to it.
