The list will be posted every Monday to LCM’s Facebook page, and will be an ideal way for people to check off what they can be doing that week to boost their marketing.   Posting to Facebook also means LCM staff will be on hand to answer any questions readers may have about Tweaks and provide assistance to ensure everyone gets the best out of the checklist.   Lizz Clarke, Managing Director of LCM says “If companies are not staying ahead of marketing, they are going to slide backwards in today’s competitive age. We know just how many business owners juggle marketing responsibilities alongside their ‘day job’, and this is a way of helping people to keep things moving forward, little and often.”   Marketing Tweak launches today, Monday 24th September, and can be found here, on LCM's Facebook page. 2012-09-24T13:58:50+00:00 http://www.lcm.co.uk/index.php/news/free-marketing-support-for-the-regions-businesses/ http://www.lcm.co.uk/index.php/news/free-marketing-support-for-the-regions-businesses/#When:11:10:36Z Companies with a turnover of between £250,000 and £20m are benefiting from a series of free marketing seminars run by Barclays in association with Regus and Logical Creative Marketing (LCM).    The series of six seminars, entitled The Power of Marketing, will run twice, and will continue until late 2013, so there is plenty of opportunity to take advantage.   “The seminars are really top quality, and we are delighted to be able to support the region’s businesses in this way,” says Dan Brogan, Barclays Area Business Manager for Solent and the Isle of Wight. “We have had enthusiastic feedback from all attendees, many of whom have been to all three that we have run so far, which is testimony to their value.”   The next seminar is October 11th 2012 from 5.00 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. at Regus in Whiteley and will focus on PR and the ever controversial topic of Social Media, and following that, there will be one on Branding at the same time and venue, on November 22nd 2012.

All funds from the seminars will be gratefully received by St John Ambulance and Bourne International Community Centre. The seminars, which took place in Winchester and Southbourne, attracted some of the county’s up and coming businesses, all of which donated money for the informative presentations featuring forward-thinking from LCM Managing Director Lizz Clarke and SFM Consulting’s Sarah Matthews. The seminars focused on how social media can drive a brand and discussed how social media should be impacting their marketing plans and communications programmes. Lizz Clarke said: “Although it is clear that social media is now critical to marketing, business owners need to see a clear strategy and a return on investment, we explained how to do this at the seminars.” She added: “We’re delighted to be handing over this money, which will go towards local St John Ambulance first aid projects. Thank you to all the attendees who were very generous with their time and money. We received some great feedback from the seminars and already attendees tell us they are reaping business benefits through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.”  2011-10-14T14:26:23+00:00
