Business in Berkshire Micro Sites - A 5th Birthday present for everyone from Business in Berkshire!

Business in Berkshire is celebrating its 5th birthday today, our official one.

On the 20th February 2002 our first email was despatched to 400 people and over the years over 7500 people have been subscribed at one time or the other to receive our communications. With the passage of time emails change, people take new jobs, opt out or simply move county.

Today 4365 people are opted in to receive one or more of our daily communications and their interaction ensures that our news is top of the pile when it comes to the search engines.

Business in Berkshire offers two key business benefits:

• Most of our newsletter recipients are based in Berkshire and people like to do business locally. So by being part of Business in Berkshire your news is published to our network, allowing our members to read about you and your business, leading to direct contact for those interested in what’s on offer.

• Our news articles are flying high on the search engines. Of the 132 articles published in January, 88% are on page one of Google, 75% of those in No.1 spot. 60% of the news we published in the first week of February were on page 1 a week later!

So whether you are a local business looking to boost your presence locally via networking or nationally & internationally via the internet, Business in Berkshire offers that service.

Since it is our birthday we have decided to give everyone a present!

With our Networking month commencing in March, we wanted to provide our Berkshire Knights, our resellers with something to shout about.

From today we are upgrading all our accounts by one level and also reclassifying “accounts” as memberships.
