It is already more than six months since we launched Xpansion PR and Marketing and it has been a busy and successful time for us. We’d like to thank those of you who attended our party and have since given us your business. We’re looking forward to doing more work with you in 2006. New Clients We have added a number of new clients to our portfolio. These have included our landlord – the Royal Agricultural College which has commissioned re-branding for its Business Development Centre, as well as the UK division of Engelhard – a Fortune 500 surface and materials science company. PR Success You may also recently have read about our latest PR client, Choices Antenatal Ltd, and its luxury courses for expectant couples, in The Guardian or The Times. After only one month of working with them Xpansion was able to secure a 15 minute interview on satellite TV station The Baby Channel. Funding Available for Websites We were recently invited to apply for accredited supplier status with Business Link Gloucestershire for their Catalyst4Growth programme. This is a programme that will provide match funding up to £2000 for Gloucestershire businesses to improve and enhance their websites. If this is a New Year’s resolution for your business, give us a call. Funding is limited so you need to act fast to be considered. If you’d like to see examples of websites we’ve designed in the last six months visit www.stuartrichmond.co.uk and www.concordant.ltd.uk Fixed Price Design – Are you ‘In the Pink’? Our fixed price ‘Start to Xpand’ packages are proving extremely popular. With prices starting from only £550 for Corporate Identity Development and Branding, they are the ideal solution to providing your business with a professional image while maintaining budget control. Look out for Barbour’s Wholefoods in Cirencester and The Genial Jobber in Tetbury who have both benefited from our packages. Bob May from the Genial Jobber tells us that his business has never been so busy since we prepared his promotional postcards – good news except that he was hoping to wind down to retirement! Call us or we’ll call you! As part of our New Year’s resolution we are planning to stay in touch more frequently with you. Within the next few weeks Kate or I will be giving you a call to have a chat about your marketing plans for 2006. In the meantime, please remember that we are always happy to talk informally about your ideas and can offer you an initial free consultation.
