Social Media Networking in Burnley

Facebook is like Marmite to a lot of businesses, you either love it or hate it. Thrive off the personal contact with you customers, or despise the time consuming in which like generation takes. 

You can become as successful on social media via good networking as in your normal place of physical work, or your page can be left an empty space in which only a handful of friends and a few members of family have liked. Social media networking is a powerful tool, one with which you can offer your faithful followers the latest deals, the fabulous sales, your best new services or simply to keep in contact in a friendly manor. 

Used correctly, social media networking can become a regular source of income, repeat customers and glowing recommendations. You can reach potentially thousands of new clients that may not happen to walk past your shop and see your “Free haircut Friday” sign, or listen to the radio station that you have spent thousands of pounds on a nifty new advert telling people of your end of season sale. 

Facebook marketing with Burnley Companies

With Facebook, you only have to have a positive impact on one person for them to advertise you to their friends, and then one of those is so happy with you they share to theirs...this quickly spreads and the next thing, that leaky radiator you fixed for free whilst installing a boiler has become a viral hero story! 

Companies such as Coca Cola (TM) and Tesco are not simply following the trends by having a Facebook presence; they understand the ultimate power behind social media marketing and the importance of that personal interaction.

To discuss how social media networking can help your brand and business, contact Burnley Companies to arrange a no obligation with one of our directors to demonstrate how we can help your business grow.

Sixty1a Design help host Scary Day for Standish Street shops!

Sixty1a Design Studio, a Burnley Companies client, helped to host a scary day for Standish Street shops to raise public awareness of the great range of shops which are just out of the main shopping area.

Standish Street has often struggled in the past with reduced footfall as the general public stick to the town centre area to do their shopping. The council has long been aware of this and are doing all they can to increase the profile of the street to bring more customers to the businesses. 

Standish Street shops however are by no means sitting back and expecting things to happen and become heavily involved in any sort of publicity, and yesterday was a hoot! With spooky shop displays and the majority of the staff members in the shops dressing up to give ghoulish giggles to shoppers and passers by. Sweet treats and a general feeling of fun were to be found up and down the street.

Sixty1a Design Studio helping Standish Street shops

Nixie Edwards, a partner in Sixty1a Design Studios on the street, said: 

“We organised this event to help get a bit of much-needed public interest into Standish Street, as an integral part of the Burnley community and the point of entry for many into the Burnley town centre markets and shops. We feel it is important we keep Standish Street thriving and remain as such, while helping to achieve a sense of community and loyalty to the Burnley area.

“We had lots of competitions including ‘find the Standish Street witch’ and a colouring competition for children. It was a great success.”

Burnley Companies love to hear of our clients having such a good time promoting their businesses and will always help them to make their marketing ideas a success.

Burnley Companies business development

Burnley Companies offer more than just a helping hand when it comes to your business development. The process in which they learn about your business, your individual business needs and developing a plan to aim towards your goal makes this a truly unique service for the Burnley area.

How does the business development process work?

From the first appointment a Burnley Companies director will talk through your current marketing strategy, discuss with you what you want to get out of becoming a Burnley Companies member, how they can help you develop your weak areas and build a plan to reach your businesses goal. 

From here, monthly meetings to ensure the targets are being met and to make any changes to the overall plan. It may be that finding a new member of staff is your top priority for this month, and instead of shelling out thousands of pounds for an agency, Burnley Companies can advertise your job position. The month after that after your latest member of staff has been found, you may want to launch a new product or service. Our evolving business development plan can then shift to this area, making the general public in your target area aware of what you are offering.

This way, your advertising and business development is always current, unlike the repetitive nature of printed or radio advertisement and the hassle of constantly updating your website to the fit your current needs.
