Healthy living in Burnley

Calico Homes, Burnley, promoting healthy living!

Calico Homes, one of Burnleys most recognisable and trusted names, are holding a healthy living day at Lockyer Park this Friday. Between 12-30 and 4. There will be a chance to get involved with a wide array of activities and an opportunity to learn about everyday health aspects which effect us all.

During the course of the afternoon, there will be activities such as 5-a-side football and a space bus! There will be stalls proving advice in areas such as mental health, quitting smoking, debt help, drug and alcohol, fire safety and health advice for the elderly, not only to provide support for those who need it, but to highlight the services which are available in our community.

East Lancashire has been highlighted as having the biggest death rate amongst young people this year, with smoking prevalence and death rates very high in Burnley, Hyndburn and Rossendale, drug and alcohol related illness and death becoming higher every year and the fact over 25% of the Burnley population are overweight, Calico Homes have realised a real need to help educate and hopefully prevent needless health issues and even deaths. 

Mental health issues in Burnley - the unseen illnesses

As well as physical illnesses, such as those you can see and hear, people in Burnley suffer greatly with the "unseen illnesses", mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. With around 100 deaths per year in East Lancashire alone, it is very much a problem which effects us all. How to tackle mental health, where to get help and spotting signs early amongst teenagers are all covered during the healthy living day at Lockyer Park.

With what promises to be a fun day out as well as a vital resource of information and guidance in everyday difficult situations, it is one for the diary! 

We would love to hear back from the people who attend and also some of the event organisers or advisers for your opinions on how the day went.

Burnley Companies wishes Calico Homes every success in this much needed educational event and hope to see more of these types of events in the future.

Social media marketing by Burnley Companies

Social Media with Burnley Companies

One of the key components of social media marketing is social media optimization (SMO). Like search engine optimization, where a website is brought to page one of Google, SMO is a strategy for drawing new and unique visitors to a website or your social media page or presence. 

SMO can be done two ways: adding social media links to content, such as RSS feeds and sharing buttons — or promoting activity through social media by updating statuses or Tweets, or blog posts. SMM helps a company get direct feedback from customers (and potential customers) while making the company seem more personable as well as generating new business and leads. The interactive parts of social media gives customers the opportunity to ask questions, find out more about your products or services or voice complaints and feel they are being heard. This aspect of SMM is called social customer relationship management.

Facebook and Twitter like and follower generation

Our involvement with your social media can be as little or as much as you like. Burnley Companies conduct our Facebook and Twitter business in such a way that we provide genuine likes and followers which will be interested in what you have to offer. Turning into business for you, rather than attracting people who will never interact or purchase. 

SMM became more common with the increased popularity of websites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and YouTube and has proven to be a successful way of communicating with existing and potential customers and clients.
