Do Norfolk business folk use twitter?

Friday, September 4th, 2009

twitterWe’re really interested in hearing from anyone in Norfolk or East Anglia who is actively using twitter to engage with the business community either locally, nationally or indeed internationally.

You may or may not be having success but either way we’d love to hear your stories and thoughts on twitter. Norfolk traditionally takes some stick for being 20 years behind everyone else and with twitter being the current ‘thing’ we’re interested to know how our local business community is embracing it.

If you have any comments or thoughts please either comment below, engage with us on our twitter feed or drop us a line via our contact page.

We’ve set up the hash tag #norfolkbiz so any tweets can be easily searched

Look forward to hearing from you, thanks.

New Creospace website goes live

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

webdesignAfter many hours of toil and sweat, some shed blood and even a few tears we’re pleased to publish the new version of the our website.

Whilst the old website served us well, it was looking a little tired. Plus it didn’t lend it self to our new wider service offering since Colin joined us and it was a little bit on the narrow side too. This new site has addressed all these issues and given us lots of room for future content.

If you were familiar with the old website you’ll immediately notice the look and feel of this new site is somewhat different. We’re really keen to  demonstrate to prospective clients who require new contemporary eye catching designs that we are the company for them, as well as those who require the corporate look of course.

We appreciate design is very subjective and it’s impossible to please everybody but we welcome your feedback , good or bad.

Friday, May 15th, 2009

We are very pleased to announce a further expansion and the appointment of Colin Gray to the board of Creospace limited. This is coupled with the opening of a new office in Dundee which will allow for further expansion of our business over the coming years.

Colin joins Creospace limited as Creative Director having successfully run Pixels Ink graphic design agency in Dundee for nearly 3 years. Creospace will continue to use the Pixels ink brand in Dundee building on its reputation for excellence and client care.

The clients of both businesses will be able to benefit from a wider range of services including high end website design and development, logos and brand identity, print design, and much more.

"Having worked with Colin for nearly 3 years now it was clear that both our businesses are perfectly aligned for working together. We share a common tradition of excellence. Our wide ranging skills and unrivalled service enable us to deliver a clear benefit to both new and existing clients. The opportunities are very exciting and this development is an important expansion for Creospace.” said Gary Dickenson, managing director of Creospace limited.

Gary continues … “With our already excellent reputations for quality and value in the marketplace together with the blend of expertise we can now be relied on as a leading one-stop-shop, but at the same time maintain our existing reputations as niche experts.”

Colin Gray, founder of Pixels Ink said "The opportunity to expand the existing Dundee operation by joining Gary and the Creospace team makes perfect sense. We are now much better positioned to be able to provide the best solution to each and every client a core philosophy of Pixels Ink. The new creative challenges and the opportunities to expand are tremendous.”

Why great photography is important for your website

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

We have invited Norfolk based photographer Tony Buckingham to tell us a little about himself and why he thinks great photography on a website is very important

With a background in national newspaper  features photography I know the power of a good photograph to catch a readers attention the more dramatic and eye-catching the better.

Location and product photography on a website needs to do the same thing , you want to catch the ‘surfers' attention. The more professional the photography and design infers a more considered approach overall , an attention to detail and level of professionalism throughout the company or service .

Every product ,however seemingly mundane, can be made to ‘sparkle' the more mundane the more it needs help , shot on a creased white bed sheet isn't going to impress anyone..

Memorable photography gives you a memorable website!

I have worked freelance as a photographer for 14 years for national newspapers and magazines  after having originally being given a break whilst working in the darkroom (remember those!) at The Independent. And since then I have dealt with most types of press and magazine photography , portraits,interiors , restaurants,product shots , fashion and even news at a push.

Originally living in London, I now work in Norfolk  for the space , light and to give my children some freedom.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thanks Tony.

Tony has recently undertaken all the product photography for one of our clients, Intelligas and when you look at the site you can see how the products really stand out give a professional impression to visitors and potential customers.

For more information about Tony's work then you can view his website here or contact us to speak further about the importance of photography as part of a web site project.

CRM – Customer Relationship Management Software

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Customer Relationship Management Software

Customer relationship management software available to use in business is revolutionising the internet.  Often known as ‘Cloud Hosting' or ‘Software as a Service (SaaS)', easy to use software allows for growth in sales revenue, reduction in overall costs compared to traditional non-tailored packages, and allows for building of stronger relationships between businesses and customers.

Sales Automation

Cloud hosting can improve control over sales figures and revenue in addition to enhancing processes within sales departments.

Management Operations

The operating systems which allow Cloud hosting to run are installed easily.  Management, security and increased business up-time are brought together through the Cloud without the need for alternative and additional storage, database, security, hosting and email solutions.

Customer Relation Management

Networks between your business and your customer are strong with the Cloud offering business-specific tools to enhance your customer support

Marketing Automation

Processes in Marketing can be combined with sales processes to allow for increased lead generation with the ability to act on existing databases for smooth flowing of business and optimum ROI results

The virtual infrastructure of Cloud hosting means that businesses are now able to utilise complicated and intelligent software, only accessible in the past by large companies, at a price affordable to the smallest of businesses.  Applications are all automated and data remains safe even in the event of server failure.
