Jobs in St Albans

Agents in St Albans

Agents in St Albans are you aware of this too?

Business Classes In St Albans

Business Classes In St Albans now exist to help you understand some of the opportunities & intricacies associated with our changing world

The Printing Press

This changed the world forever in the mid 1400′s. Clerics paid, fed & educated by the church dominated any style of education as we understand schooling & shared knowledge today. They had the skills to write & store information.

The printing press allowed for the mass publication & therefore circulation of knowledge, fun & shared resources. No longer would knowledge need to be lost in time as people & families died. This was the start of the information age.

Roll forward 750 years to today & we are again living on a cusp of a revolution

This time though we have new information resources – not books but the internet – & instead of being tied to one platform – the book – we have many – phone, tablet, laptop, home computer, interactive TV, interactive radio, interactive cinema.

All searchable from pretty much where ever you want! Not only this we can also  share our thoughts, feelings, ideas & doubts with friends, family & the wider world at the same time – 2 way communication anytime any where.

This is your challenge – grasping this opportunity whilst recognising the threat – to you, your position, your brand, your company.

Social Media allows your competition to quickly outpace you, take your market, your staff & your livelihood………

Yes this is evangelist but it’s happening all around you now as you read – how are you tackling this?

Not getting involved is no longer viable, Facebook has 900m+ subscribers, Linkedin 135m+, Twitter 200m+ – they are here to stay!

Having read the infographic above which is designed to whet your appetite I would be delighted to have an informal chat with you at nil cost to help you get your head around this complex but game changing conundrum.

The opportunities are now beginning to open up before us

I wish you every success! Ivor +447782193093

Non Profit & Charity Fund Raising St Albans Using Social Media

Non Profit & Charity Fund Raising St Albans Using Social Media

A big thank you to everyone who voted for St Albans District Credit Union in the Nat West Community Challenge - they won!   £6,275 coming into the District to help the homeless – yes even in affluent St Albans District we have a problem with homelessness….. In fact it’s our wealth & affluence that causes the problem – we are so expensive….

Non Profit & Charity Fund Raising St Albans Using Social Media

When you see that we won with only 278 votes you may not consider this much of a success – only 278 people engaged. Well, there is a simple reason for this. Nat West made it stupidly difficult to enter the process to begin with – they clearly have their ulterior motives to sponsor the project. To vote you had to give basic details about yourself including your email address, then wait for an email to be sent confirming you own the email address, click on the confirmation link & then, only then were you allowed to vote.

Note to other competition organisers – if you want to get value for your brand & raised name awareness & profile – don’t make the process overly complicated you will end up damaging your brand – upsetting people because it’s overly complex………

Nat West clearly don’t understand how to get value from using online processes – probably because the process was controlled by compliance & offline marketers…. I am investigating!

They were being greedy & wanted to compile their own volunteer database – Nat West there are much better ways of doing this! So Nat West made it difficult! Every charity & non profit had the same problem to deal with – if Nat west analyse their web analytics I am prepared to bet that < 1% of page views converted into votes. That’s a potential engagement of 27,800 a healthier figure……

Charity Fund Raising St Albans Using Social Media

So if you are interested in raining your profile as a charity or non profit in an easy to use way & connect with people that would like to support you get in touch with me & I’ll show you how it can simply be done.
