Back from the Abyss

March 25th, 2009

I know, I know, I have been extremely slack on the blog front recently - it’s one of those things that once you get out of the habit, it’s hard to get back in! As a quick and easy way to ease me back into the blogging habit I thought I’d just give you some small snippets of information.

Contrary to popular belief in the press, the world hasn’t completely collapsed and there are a lot of people out there still spending money in the wedding industry. I haven’t seen a decrease in enquiries in any of my customers yet and, more encouragingly, the average customer seems to want to spend more - is this a result of working with Evolution? There’s only one way to find out ;)

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last 3 years, you will have heard people talking about Facebook, Twitter and Social Media Marketing. I have been sceptical about the value of these services as business tools, but three weeks ago I was in Atlanta for an internet marketing conference and there was a massive focus on these emerging technologies and I know see huge opportunities for small businesses to take advantage, especially in the wedding industry! I’ll be posting more details on this soon.

In addition to my travels around the world, researching the social media phenomenon and looking after my pregnant wife, I’ve also bee working on a redesign for the Evolution website. The site in its current form has been live for nearly 18 months now and is starting to look a bit dated in my opinion. We’ve almost decided on a new design and will be working through the functionality of the site in more detail oner the next two weeks or so. If anyone has any suggestions on tools, information or anything else they would like to see on the site, please leave a comment below and any suggestions we use will earn that person a one hour consultancy session with me.

Hope this update has whet your appetite sufficiently for my upcoming posts - they will appear soon I promise!!!

Until then
