Digital marketing Berkshire - 2008 is going to be a year when many business men and women will break away from the shackles of employment and start out on a new road to self fulfilment. A road travelled by many before with plenty of lessons learned along the way. And regardless of how we might try and prepare for what might happen next the chances are that fate will have a lesson or two for you to learn!
Digital marketing will have to be a consideration if you are setting up a business today. 80% or more of new business will use the Internet in some shape or form. Business in Berkshire is the perfect digital marketing platform for businesses based in Berkshire and also those looking to do business in Berkshire.

Simon Cowell's First Kiss
06/05/08
Six Degrees of separation- or may be less? "Six degrees of separation" refers to the assertion that any person on the planet is connected to every other by five relationships with other people... No doubt Business in Berkshire can help with this, but sometimes you find yourself connected in the most bizarre way! Jon was flicking through the channels (as men do) at the weekend and landed on American Idol on ITV2.

Catching up on business activity
15/04/08
Morning Berkshire, How much better organised do I feel now we’re back in the house? I’m managing to keep to my target of driving only a few miles per day... marvellous. Minimising my global footprint but also my nerve endings are retreating and I'm generally feeling on top form. Don’t you find, when behind the wheel, your mood and that of your environment can change rapidly when some numpty gets within visual signal reach!?! I used to love driving but now I’d rather not, preferring to stay local.

Set Your Marketing Compass
02/04/08
On Sunday we moved back into our house after 8 months. The architect and builders have done an excellent job and are making the final touches as we speak, more about them later.
I had not realised how much I missed my gentle morning routine until now. This morning Max and I took a stroll out at 6:30 across Windsor Great Park, well a smidgen of it! Just to be able to walk back home, have some breakfast in our all new bedroom suite (no main TV aerial yet!), shower in my brand new shower room (that used to be part of the garage) and then to walk 20 metres to the office... FANTASTIC!
I’m all fired up and ready for action... helping the man with the van today to make sure things go where they should and then I’ll be back up to full speed ahead, getting BinB in the shape it needs to be to maximise the lead we have in the Internet Marketing sector. A site that is second to none locally and second to only a few nationally. As I explained last week, the best way forward is SILVER Membership but if you’re unsure of what’s on offer, then please complete our FREE business website form and we’ll get a page on our site sorted for you over the next week or so. Another 20 signed up this week, only had chance to complete 10, the rest will follow for next week.
Last night I was lucky enough to enjoy Nigel Temple’s Marketing Compass Masterclass presentation at Norden Farm. He just gets better and better and that’s why we promote him in our newsletter. As with many of the business events we promote, 15% of his audience last night came from BinB. If you run events, you need to be on Business in Berkshire so we can push your events in our Wednesday newsletter. Nigel, if you could scribble a testimonial based on what we did for you yesterday, I’ll place it here, on our customer testimonials website for the world to see... and that will give you another link back to your website... we could even put a link to your blog!
Nothing autistic about Mr Nigel Temple, lucky man. This week is National Autism week and we have featured an opportunity to have your name in lights. A bunch of authors who are obviously great communicators, and grateful for it, are offering you the chance to feature in their next book... all you have to do is bid for the chance of being in print!
Enjoy this week’s featured links and sneak a peek at what this week’s FREE Bs have to offer:
Design 4 Space, B2B Event Management, Chatter Paws, File Stream Systems, Go Easy Travel, Inspire Development and Coaching, Lesley Mclauchlan, PA Testers, Quality Decorators, Turnaround Group Business Advisors
