The Results

First, we established a regular email newsletter going out to past, existing & potential customers, promoting the latest offers & specials in the shop. Next, I created a content plan for the business’s social media platforms, focusing on engaging with potential customers & driving traffic to the webshop.

To improve the performance of the existing webshop, we re-designed the website, improved the on-page SEO (search engine optimisation) and added offers & specials to the online shop.

The results were a 56% jump in web traffic as well as an 88% increase in web traffic over the busy Christmas period. Additionally, we gained 34% in organic traffic from online searches and got 135% more clicks through Facebook and Twitter with sales increasing accordingly.

What the Client Says

“Working with Denise at sandstonecastles has been a brilliant addition to our business. She looks after all our social media and marketing with great efficiency and professionalism. This gives me the peace of mind to concentrate on other areas of the business. She was especially helpful with our 60th Anniversary celebrations. Thank you Denise.”
