The latest News


EB Marketing Celebrates it's First Year In Business

A small Milestone, but a milestone none the less.

We are very happy to have spent the last year growing our business to a very comfortable size, and along the way have picked up some rather large Clients including Gartner the largest IT Research company in the world, CMPi who are part of the United Business Media Group, and no doubt many of you have read there publications or attend there events. We have also worked with companies such as Astro Communications and have recently been made aware of a very large order which came from our telemarketing campaign. We are also about to sign up a couple of very large companies to our client list, more details to follow.

For the Month of July we have decided to give a special offer in one of the most frequently requested services.
We will, for the month of July be offering List Cleaning/Validation Services 25% cheaper than normal. So if you need to keep your records up to date for future telemarketing or mailing campaigns this is a perfect time to do it.

NSPCC



We are happy to announce that EB Marketing is looking to give something back to a charity we believe in.

We are working with the NSPCC a few days a month free of charge to help them promote the charity.

I believe that it is important to help those who can’t help themselves. I hope that the NSPCC can use us to there advantage.

We have already secured a famous Football Player for one of there charity fundraisers in the Autumn.

If you would like to get your business involved in helping the NSPCC please get in contact with me and we can discuss how you can help. Email: michael@ebonybailey.co.uk


Data Control


We are also proud to announce that we are now offering all new and existing clients the opportunity to purchase data directly from EB Marketing. This will save time searching for a good data provider, and your Marketing campaign can be dealt with by the same company that provides your telemarketing.

The detail we are able to provide is vast, everything from Company name and decision makers, to Geographical location and email address’s.

If this is of interest please contact us on 01252 689308 or email us at data@ebonybailey.co.uk



EB Marketing is now to offer EB Service Connector.

This service is offered to all decision makers within your company and try’s to take away the burden of having to find products and services that fit your requirements.

We will take away the need for you to search, research, and evaluate potential suppliers.

How does this work?

You will provide EB Marketing details of your requirements, the more detail we are given (i.e. Budget, Timescale, Technical requirement, type of company you would like to work with (SME / Local)) the better research we can provide.

After in-depth research we will choose three companies that fit your requirements and make an introduction to you.





How do you know they can provide the services we need?



With your requirements in hand, and the research done to find those who meet your needs, we will approach the company to make them aware of this opportunity. Only those who truly believe they can offer the services required will come forward as we will charge an introduction fee. No company I know would pay for a lead they could not act on.



If this is of interest to you then please contact us with your requirements via email at connector@ebonybailey.co.uk

Not wishing to sound too disappointed but this just screams me me me. If I was to receive this in my inbox then I would delete it straight away because there's absolutely no value in this to me. Correct me if i'm wrong but content in king in newsletters and balatant plugs just dont cut it. I'm not confessing to be an expert at all but i've been reading up loads on newsletters over the past few months and if this type of newsletter was even remotely successful then i've been reading a load of rubbish.

sorry EB I have to agree theres not an abundance of useful info to keep people hooked. It's all about you and the reader is probably too selfish to care.

It lacks the famous WIIFM factor the 'Whats In It For Me' factor...

Maybe you could consider using the talents of one of the forums copywriters?

Also, theres quite a few obvious spelling mistakes. Heres my list of "Things u need" :P ;

1: Links to on-subject resources
2: A "headline" or "question" intro;
"Can your business afford a dedicated telemarketing campaign?
Or cannot it afford not to have one? We offer some of the lowest rates... (You get the idea)"
3: A newspaper layout (maybe yours has this already and was just re-formatted for the forum?)
4: An obvious link to your website (of course)
5: An opt-out link (I think this is required by law).

Hope this helps.

Ebony

First of all thank you. The fact that you responded in the way you have is a great starting point.

As for the feedback. So far it has been constructive and hence is well worth listening to. Start to worry when they say it is perfect and people still do not subscribe!

Good luck

A genuine thanks guys.

My first attempt was never going to be perfect. I thought the idea of a newsletter is that you should tell them the good news and whats going on, i need to work at it, infact i am hoping to do another one in a few weeks when we really have some stuff to shout about. I have asked a PR lady to give us a hand, this should prove to be a better attempt i will let you know how it goes, thanks for the feedback.

Hi Ebony,
You are correct that a newsletter should contain news about your company, but for people to read it they need to have some other reason to interest them.
For example, my newsletter contains a couple of paragraphs about anything new in my business then 3 pages of other useful content!

Have to agree with all of the others. At the very least, you need to have it proofread before sending this out - as webstuff says, there are a lot of very basic spelling errors (it's/its there/their confusion to name two) . Some people will argue that spelling and grammar isn't important, but speaking for myself, the mistakes really jump out at me and scream "unprofessional"!

Thanks for that. It was really a fealer for our more proffesional one that we are trying to put together, i have a proofreader ready and waiting, as my grammer is awful. Lets see what you think of the secomd one when it comes out. Thanks again for the constructive critisism.
