Despite the official end to the recession, the UK’s economy is still wavering and the immediate future looks anything BUT bright. So it’s little wonder if you’re feeling like most people in business; looking over your shoulder, wondering if you’re next in line to lose your job. If you own a business, then it’s likely you’re worried about the latest ’sales slump’. One thing is for sure; you can’t afford to be complacent right now. You absolutely MUST continue to market … perhaps more aggressively than ever before. (See my blog post, Business Survival Tools: Don’t Get Left Behind: http://TwitPWR.com/au6/)

The lead article in MediaMinister’s latest newsletter, Communiqué for Success, shows you how you can promote yourself in new, creative and low-cost (or F.R.E.E.) ways to bring customers through the door in ANY economy.

There’s still time to nominate your favourite female entrepreneur or business-owner. Although I’m not associated in any way with the awards (apart from being a bonafide woman and possible entrant — hint, hint!), these can open doors for nominees and winners alike.

The NatWest EveryWoman Awards were created to celebrate “the woman behind the business, her personal successes and achievements and how she individually inspires others.” Judging by past winners standards, this year should see some remarkably strong women contenders.

Visit the awards web page to find out more or to nominate. Entries close 30 July 2010.

[Brighton, UK, 3 June 2010] ––– MediaMinister.co.uk today launched a new service aimed at small business-owners, business executives, entrepreneurs and independent service professionals who recognise the commercial traction of social media but have neither the time, skills nor inclination to exploit it for themselves.

“Social-media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can really put a business in the spotlight … WHEN leveraged properly,” says Tracey Dooley, owner of the boutique-style communications site MediaMinister.co.uk. “The problem for most business owners and solopreneurs is having the time or the know-how to make it work for them. That is where I come in.

“My ‘ready-made’ social-media marketing packages take the hassle and mystery out of social media and can put a business or brand firmly on the online map.”

Essentially, Tracey becomes your virtual marketing director and ghost-writer in one, learning everything she can about you or your company and, as your ‘brand ambassador’, spending her time on social networks on your behalf. It’s about helping people improve their online business visibility or simply get more out of it…

“Social media can enhance a company’s image and create favourable relationships with its target market and potential joint-venture partners. My goal is to help people create a social-media presence that is painless, engaging and defines their position within their field. Once I’m briefed, clients can simply relax and trust me to do a professional job on their behalf.”

Sometimes, it can seem as if the world is conspiring against you and your marketing efforts. But not if you use a time-tested powerful headline.

In the world of marketing communications, both online or offline, your headline can lead to marketing success … or failure. Copywriting and marketing pros alike turn to certain headline formulas that they know will always work well.

In the lead article in MediaMinister’s latest newsletter, Communiqué for Success,  I present my favourites, and show you how you can use each one in your own marketing.

For every 80p spent on health promotion and intervention programmes, £4 can be saved due to reduced absenteeism, temporary staff and improved motivation, says The European Network for Workplace Health Promotion.

Which is one of the reasons The Sussex Active & Healthy Workplace Initiative has launched the ’small grants scheme’. This has been set up specifically to help Sussex-based businesses improve the health and well-being of their workforce, and to “support employers to make a positive change by increasing the opportunities available to employees throughout Sussex and working towards improving the health of the local workforce”.

These businesses will also be supported through the Active & Healthy Workplace programme giving them access to many additional benefits.

For more information or to apply for your grant, visit www.sussexsport.org (all grant applications must be received by Friday 30 April).
