March update
Mar 9th
So it’s been a fairly hectic past month here at Infobox – our Website MOT service is going from strength to strength and is flying off the shelves. If your website is not getting you the right results, traffic or conversion of traffic into paying clients – then let us examine how it can be improved. We provide a clear and comprehensive report giving you a precise plan of action to push your site forward.
Also we have been busy putting together a really good package for small and start-up businesses which has been a great success. We have teamed up with Business Link as an authorised service provider – if you are a new business, why not check out their site and see if you are entitled to any of their vouchers which can be redeemed against Infobox Media website products.

When you first setup a social networking/media profile and start to customise it can feel a little bit like you are wasting your time.
How do you get people to follow your updates, look through your articles or pictures or click through your links?
A good idea can be to run some sort of a promotion which gives users an incentive to look at what you are doing and participate in some way.
The Open University, for example – are running this competition to get people buzzing around their twitter profile.
They are offering a hamper of Thornton’s chocolates to the person who makes the most interesting tweet with their twitter identifier included in the tweet…genius!
Update your site for xmas

Every year the amount of people looking to the internet to reduce the stress of xmas shopping rises dramatically. If you are selling or advertising products which are popular at this time of year then make sure that you are setup to reap the rewards.
