As one financial year comes to an end for our long term client, Burgess Pet Care, we look to 2012 and the exciting activity we have planned with them.

Burgess Pet Care is a leading Yorkshire based pet food manufacturer. We’ve worked with the team there now for several years and this time of year is always a very busy one, as we learn about their business plans for the coming year and start to plan our internet marketing activity to suit.

But it doesn’t just start now. We’ve been in planning discussions with the Burgess Pet Care marketing team since early October, in readiness for their new financial year.

Bigfoot Digital comprises a team of internet marketing strategists and so we like to get involved early on in the planning stages. This enables us maximise the success we can achieve for clients.

With a more proactive approach than you’re likely to find with most digital agencies, we like to make our clients aware of the online possibilities for their brands. By meeting and discussing opportunities and our recommendations early on, we’re able to help our clients shape their marketing strategies, better plan campaigns and make more effective use of their marketing budgets.

We’ll be unveiling all the wonderful plans for Burgess Pet Care over the year but for now that remains top secret. Suffice to say we’re really looking forward to getting our teeth into it!

The team at Bigfoot Digital are thrilled to be partnering with fast growing e-commerce business, Swanky Maison, in an alliance that’s set to be very rewarding for all.

Swanky Maison is an online boutique selling handmade homeware and unique gifts created by up and coming UK designer-makers. The business launched in 2009 and has enjoyed steady organic growth over the last few years, selling on behalf of over a hundred talented designers.

With a strong brand, a clear USP and well established operational systems, Swanky Maison is now ready to launch into a massive SEO campaign, driving significantly more traffic to the site. Swanky Maison is all set to handle the vast increase in sales that’s predicted as a result of all the online marketing activity we have planned.

Director of Swanky Maison, Cath Harrison, says: “We’ve worked incredibly hard since the conception of Swanky Maison back in 2008 and we’re so excited about working with Bigfoot Digital. If we only achieve a fraction of what Mark and Lindsey predict, then this partnership will prove incredibly worthwhile. This year, Swanky Maison has reached a cross roads, we could continue to grow organically or really go for it. Well we’re really going for it!”

Commenting on Swanky Maison, Mark Woodcock says: “This is a great site with huge potential but there’s a lot of work to be done to reach our goals. Over the coming months we’ll be starting Search Engine Optimisation, building on the existing Social Media presence and looking into affiliate marketing schemes as well as other Internet Marketing activity. We predict that Swanky Maison is going to be a very different beast in less than a year’s time as awareness of this fantastic shop spreads like wildfire.”

Well let’s hope so. We’ll be keeping you up to date with the progress of Swanky Maison and indeed all our clients over the coming months. These are very exciting times!

There has been much excitement this week for one of our major clients! Orbus Leisure have been working (undercover) with ITV and the Jeremy Kyle show to make one man’s Christmas even more special this year.

Guest to the show Patrick has been on an amazing weight loss journey throughout 2011. He was morbidly obese at 27 stones and was facing a bleak future if he did not lose weight. After hearing his story, Jeremy and the team stepped into action. Andre Diurno, ITV’s professional fitness coach was enlisted to help and Patrick embarked on an amazing fitness and weight loss journey.

This week’s 5 Days of Christmas episode brought Patrick back to our screens and it was revealed that he has shed an amazing 10 stones!  He has changed so much physically that some of his friends failed to even recognise him! Huge congratulations to Patrick for all his hard work and likewise to the ITV team who have helped him every step of the way.

But for Patrick the weight loss journey does not end at the end of 2011. It is crucial that he keeps to his new regime for the sake of his own health and the good of his family and Orbus Leisure stepped in to help. After hearing Patrick’s plight at the start of 2011 Orbus Leisure got in touch with ITV and offered their help, in the form of a professional treadmill.  Now, Patrick can continue exercising at home to continue his weight loss journey until he reaches his ideal BMI. Patrick has well and truly caught the exercise bug, so we know that his treadmill will be put to regular, frequent use.

Orbus Leisure are now looking forward to their peak trading period, so if your New Year’s resolution is to lose weight like Patrick you should check out their website for some unbeatable deals of a variety of home fitness equipment, yoga gear and balance bands.
