New van hits the road for Property Excellence

Here are some photos of the new van for Property Excellence van which hit the road at the end of last week.

Options Bath & Tile Studio are feeling very Exclusive!

Options Bath & Tile Studio in Ascot recently secured the back cover of Exclusive magazine for the local areas and they've been delighted with their heightened presence.  This advert falls in-line with their overall marketing plan which is generating lots of positive interest for their fantastic showrooms.

If you're looking for plenty of options (excuse the pun) for a new bathroom, wet room, cloakroom or tile options for all rooms of the home, check them out.

Barclays 'Making an impact in 2013' event goes very well

I'm lucky with my bank (Barclays) that they have such a pro-active local business management team and I get to meet-up with them on a fairly regular basis.  Over the past few months they've seen what Digity has to offer and asked me to present to some of their customers at an event in Slough.

There were about 20 people in attendance which was great and I spoke for about 30 mins on the fundamentals for strengthening the marketing activities for your business.  I received lots of positive feedback after the event which was great and the audience seemed to like the approach I took - which wasn't all about the shiny bells and whistles which marketers often focus on, but simply about the importance of planning, implementation, tracking and improving on a continual basis.

Anthony Mullan furniture at the Ideal Home Show

This year saw the return of Anthony Mullan furniture to the Ideal Home Show after a very successful début in 2012.  Highlighted last year as one of the hot new stands to visit, we were delighted to get them featured again this year in the official show guide.

The show which takes place over 17 days (up-to 1st Apr) is set to be another cracker for the team who have put a huge amount of work and effort in to ensuring their fine craftsmanship is on display for all to see and interact with.  We'll be up there for a few days and have once again produced the signage, literature, competition entry forms, lead pads, pens and more.  It's all set to be a great show...

Here's another great stand from the team, featuring a 3m long island:

Windows 8 Launch

I've just been watching the Windows 8 launch videos and I'm pretty un-convinced it's really going to make the massive impact they are hoping for.  It does look like they have dumbed-down the interface to make it easier and more inspiring for people to flick through and discover but at first glance, the usability doesn't look great.  Perhaps it was the demo but it looked like you need to learn more gestures and rely on their interpretation of the important information & applications which you have in your personal space.  I'm sure it will become more obvious when I start playing with it but as a demo, it didn't get me excited and felt a bit like watching a bad shopping channel rather than history being made.

On the hardware front, I will be intrigued to see how it works on Ultrabooks as that's where I see my usage increasing over the coming year or two.  I've recently reverted to my laptop more from my iPad because of the sheer power of that device and size of the screen.  The issue is portability and battery and Ultrabooks look to be filling those needs nicely.

There's no question there are some very interesting devices which are hitting the market but has Microsoft done enough with this release to compete in the tablet market place...we'll see.
