Keep Trade Local - Keeping Trade Local at Nell Gwynn’s House

Local marketing gurus Effective Marketing Solutions (EMS) have set up home in Nell Gwynn’s House in Church Street, Windsor. In recognition of the Federation of Small Business (FSB)’s “Keep Trade Local” message, boss Dean Ward moved from premises overlooking Windsor Castle to the 1640s building in Church Street. Visitors can spot the FSB’s “Keep Trade Local” sticker in the street-front window.

The property was believed to be a former home of royal mistress Nell Gwynn, who herself kept trade local via a secret passageway to Windsor Castle, where long-term lover King Charles II resided. Now an office space, it has been home to Effective Marketing Solutions since their move in February 2008.

Jon Davey of Windsor online marketing business LiaiseOnline Ltd and previous Chair of the East Berkshire branch of the FSB, visited Dean at Nell Gwynn’s House to discuss promoting businesses locally.

“I am a real advocate of keeping business local,” said Jon of LiaiseOnline. “I was Chair of the East Berkshire branch of the FSB for four years and now run a business dedicated to promoting local businesses and products. Dean at EMS understands the value of what we do. I met with him at his new offices to discuss new promotional tools which are helping people promote their businesses.”

LiaiseOnline offer Berkshire businesses three levels of support:

For just £99, businesses can be listed on the Business in Berkshire online directory and will have a microsite built for them which will enable their product or business to fly high on Google. The power of Business in Berkshire as a website means that businesses listed under the Business in Berkshire umbrella are picked up by Google shortly after being listed (80% of them within the hour) and sit much higher on Google results than many other sites.

Promotional micro sites give businesses a website under the Business in Berkshire umbrella which will give an amazing promotional boost to products and businesses. For just £1200, a permanent site will be built and copy professionally written which will be pushed out to Berkshire consumers and business people via a business newsletter. The copy will also be made into promotional pdfs for the client’s own use. Clients will receive the full support of the LiaiseOnline marketing team.

Strategic product levitation is the highest level of support which LiaiseOnline offers local business people. For £3600, a permanent site will be built with 1200 words of copy distributed as regular articles in the business-to-business newsletter. In addition, an article will be written every fortnight for the rest of the year. The client will benefit from the full support of LiaiseOnline’s experienced web marketing team, ensuring that they get the best out of their online marketing venture.

“Business in Berkshire is an incredibly powerful tool,” said Jon Davey of LiaiseOnline. “We’ve seen web content we’ve created for people fly to the top of Google searches within 10 minutes of uploading. Keeping business local is a powerful way of working, and we are here to support local businesses as they do it.”
