Pleece&Co. Marketing the BN way

And Smith must score…

Yeah, right. Proof, if it were needed, that nothing in life is guaranteed. Just ask Gordon Smith. We all have goals. For some of us, it’s the big thing with the net behind Gary Bailey. For most of us, it’s more prosaic. Whatever your line of business, Pleece&Co can help you round the goalkeeper of business challenge and slot the ball into the net marked ‘commercial success’. And that’s as far as we can extend the football metaphor….

Marketing for Brighton businesses

We’re as Brighton as Steve Foster’s headband and based only a decent free kick away from Brighton’s older leisure landmark, we are second only to the Albion when it comes to successful promotion. As quirky as a Gus Poyet press conference and as reliable as rain at the Withdean, we have a range of services that will help you go places that bit quicker.

Marketing strategies

Leafleting potential customers might be fine for your local takeaway, but hopelessly inadequate for most modern businesses. You need a marketing strategy, a roadmap to plot the route your company needs to take to reach your business objectives. Let the CIM qualified experts at Pleece&Co help you get where you want to be.

Corporate Identity

If the logo is the cherry on the cake, then corporate identity is everything underneath. Pleece&Co can bring through your company’s personality in how you look, in everything you do and everything you say, and we’ll keep your brand relevant and contemporary.

Graphic design

You probably already know someone who can do graphic design. But a good graphic designer doesn’t just make a Mac work – they can add something special to the simplest brief. At Pleece&Co, we believe in good design and when you see what we can do for you, so will you.

Copywriting

Could you be neutral when comparing the Albion to that lot at Selhurst Park? Thought not. It’s impossible to be objective about something you’re close to. Our copywriter sees your company in the context of your competitors and your marketplace and ensure your messages get heard.

Social Media

There’s more to this than asking lots of people be your friend and bombarding them with stuff. Get the messaging wrong you’ll be ignored. Do nothing and your competitors will steal your clients. If social media is the magic bullet that could blow up in your face, then Pleece&Co are the sharpshooters will help you hit your targets. Pow!

Print

If your box of terrific looking leaflets isn’t supported by other communication strands, then you just bought the world’s prettiest doorstop. But get it right and print will marry the best elements of graphic design and copywriting to create a superb marketing tool.

Online business

Remember when a company website was six static pages of HTML? That’s so the century-before-last. These days your ‘www’ is just one of your comms channels, rather than being a flashy electronic billboard telling everyone how great you are. Pleece&Co websites are built in Wordpress or Business Catalyst because this is the way forward. Which way are you going?

User experience

What does the phrase ‘UX’ mean to you? If the answer is ‘FA’ then talk to Pleece&Co. There are more than 182 million websites out there so your company needs to deliver a pretty special web experience if you’re going to punch your weight in the marketplace.

SEO

A carefully-crafted SEO strategy will ensure that customers can actually find your website. For the more web-savvy among you we have SEO Strategy, Linkbuilding, Video SEO or Pay-By Performance SEO Campaigns but whatever SEO help you need, Pleece&Co can drive the traffic that converts to leads and sales to your site. We even offer a free SEO report to get you started.

Giving credit, where credit’s due

2011 was a very difficult year for many businesses and time and time again cash flow kept popping its head up in the news.  Late payment, having to abide by supplier terms and conditions, bad debt, higher liabilities, loan requirements being too excessive, the list goes on and on.

Why Video?

Online video is quickly becoming one of the newest trends in media. In order to keep up with this fast paced trend and stay ahead of the competition, many businesses are deciding to use online video as part of their promotional and marketing strategies, appreciating that this powerful communication tool creates several advantages.

According to recent research by Forrester, a website with video content is 50 times more likely to be found by Google.  Online video creates a more personal interaction between a business and its customers. The use of both visual effects and sounds is an effective way of gaining a viewer’s attention. Viewers are more likely to remember 70% of what they see AND hear.

In today’s fast paced world, it is much easier for a viewer to click on a video link than it is to read a page of text. People want fast and easy information, and video allows them to have that.  The great thing is viewers will want to share it too through Twitter, Facebook, email.  Thirty-eight percent of those who watch video say they pass it along to others, usually through e-mail.

Video is here to stay… if your competitors are not doing it, make sure you are.

How can you use Video?

There are several ways a business can use a video online to its advantage:-

• Video can be used to describe a product or service in detail, without any confusion.
• Video can be used for Training and How Tos - visually demonstrate how to get things done.
• Video can be used for online Press Release - communicate important changes.
• Video can be used for Welcome messages - communicate your company’s image.
• Video can be used for promotional purposes - for that new product or service.

All of which add tremendously to your SEO when placed within your website.

Why SeeThat?

We have the talent to create compelling and quality video content that viewers will genuinely enjoy your content. With a creative and professional approach, SeeThat utilises the power of the video revolution, especially online, to ensure that your message hits the spot with potential and existing customers.

We always try to propose solutions which accommodate our clients’ available budgets and timescales, delivering quality results each time.   Our feedback from clients suggests that we have an exceptional track record for producing exceptional work…  Why not!!

Families for Children is an Outstanding independent fostering agency supporting children and foster carers in the Southern counties and South London.

We have specialised in fostering for over 20 years looking after children placed by Brighton and Hove, West Sussex and East Sussex County Councils. We also work closely with Surrey, Hampshire, Southampton, and a range of London Boroughs. Our carers are supported by centres situated in Fareham, Chichester, Findon nr Worthing, Pyecombe nr Brighton, Laughton nr Lewes, Orpington and Surrey. We have an experienced team of qualified social workers and staff who ensure that carers and children are well supported when placed carefully together. We recruit, train, match and place with carers where we feel they will be able to meet a child’s needs effectively with a caring and nurturing attitude.

We strive to offer children and young people the best possible opportunities in life and go the extra mile to achieve this. Young people moving into independence are also supported in families known as supported lodgings placements. This gives them space to become independent and not necessarily take part in family life but live alongside a family who can guide and advise when necessary. Some of the children we care for have disabilities which may be wide ranging and affect access to community resources or activities. By working with the child’s parents and health professionals, we can ensure that such children are given equal chances to meet some of their ambitions by giving one to one support for dedicated periods of time, often referred to as Short Break care. Some carers enjoy using different skills and foster parents and their children or babies. Often this may be a mother and her new born child, but there is no strict criteria and some foster carers have supported mum, dad and two babies in placement! This is often a rewarding experience for both carers and parents who engage in the process and learn new parenting skills. Many of our children are placed with carers permanently which gives a real sense of security and belonging, others may stay for a short while before they are reunited home. A few of our young people have come from other countries to seek asylum from their war torn regions and integrated well into the community.

Other areas of our work includes a newly opened residential children’s home supporting up to six young people in a rural setting in Ditchling, nr Hassocks. The home has been fully renovated and decorated to the highest standard situated in its own grounds. Our DfE registered school is located in Findon nr Worthing; the team of teaching staff educate up to five children ages 6 – 11 yrs and provide the national curriculum adapted for children with special educational or behavioural needs. It was recently declared to be an Outstanding provision by Ofsted in September 2011. We manage a contact service in our Battle centre, nr Hastings which provides parents and their children a safe and comfortable place to meet regularly.

We are always seeking new carers to provide placements for similar children and would encourage people who have time, a spare bedroom and a real commitment to help children meet their needs to contact us at any time.
