Soulhouse Music THIRD RELEASE: Ronnie Herel and Mr Brian Power Present: I Wanted Your Love featuring Ali Tennant. The latest release from SoulHouse Music is a remake of the Luther Vandross classic ‘I Wanted Your Love’.

It disturbs me that some companies are putting folk ‘in charge’ of Twitter and Facebook without a fully written strategy or guidelines. It also disturbs me that customer facing social accounts are not being treated as such. I would like to reiterate that, if you are a B2C business with a service on offer or a product to sell your social media accounts will become more and more important as far as customer service. Give each conversation the time it deserves imagine that perso

No, I don’t mean an advertisement for Frosties. I’m talking Social Media. Withough careful thought and a strategy for your social media channels it’s highly likely you’ll end up in a mess or finding yourself posting stuff now and again when you have the time. What are you doing that for? What are you trying to achieve? and how will you know when you get there? Working out how social can benefit your business is the first step and sticking to the plan whilst understanding chal

Good control is self care and aids emotional growth. It oozes from a ballerina or a pilot when landing a plane. It’s knowing when to cut your losses, learning when to keep quiet, not falling into the temptation trap, turning down the oven to avoid burning the chicken or Spanx. Bad control is not knowing when or how but saying you do anyway. It’s an anger feeder and an ego eater. It promotes loneliness and is born mostly from narcissism, insecurity and fear of losing the plot.

You Spend a lifetime feeling your way through this obstacle called life, following dreams, interesting people and creating opportunities for yourself that meet your own expectations, all whilst trying to look more confident than u actually feel right? And what’s to stop you? How on earth would you achieve otherwise? What are your current expectations for yourself, your business? It is always good practice to write these down and then ask yourself if they realistic. If you ca

You hear me talk of connection time and time again. It’s what makes the world go round. Without it nobody would meet each other, nothing would happen, the universe would not move forward! You may remember my Connection Cycle also? In business its crucial to connect. I connect every day and the ‘strategy’ is an action plan to achieve a particular goal. Without a strategy, a surgeon could kill someone. Without a strategy, Crystal Palace wouldn’t have managed another year in the

I’ve talked in the past about data and how the big brands are using data to understand their target market better. Smaller brands are now doing the same, that means you and your small business can too. The objectives up for grabs are too important to ignore… you will identify characteristics of your most profitable customers you will be able to create the marketing strategies that work you will increase your customer loyalty/retention you will also identify the most profitabl

Are you one of those business owners that allows a potentially negative outcome to hinder a good business decision? Do you avoid something – just in case the worst thing happens? Do you look at all the possible outcomes and if there is just one bad thing that could happen from making that decision, you won’t go there? You have most likely worked with numbers in your life, were a good academic student and played safe. There’s nothing wrong with that. The world needs you. But,

Take the ‘Come Rain or Come Shine Test… Reaching out to more than one target market can be difficult. If you have a service, product or business that can cross over world views. When I say that, I mean you may have a dry cleaning service, a taxi company, a hairdressing salon, an insurance company or you may sell a product for the home – either way you are reaching out to a varied target market and hoping that a huge cross section of people respond to what you are selling. The

When writing a blog, it sounds obvious but first things first is knowing what is it that you want to say and how you are going to say it. Are you offering valuable information? Explaining something? Writing a response to another article? Making a point? Referencing? Reviewing? Either way, knowing and having a clear idea how you would like to present is key. If you follow these basic tips, you will organically begin to elaborate and your articles will become more confident, un

They are completely worth it. in business each year you have to set goals and achievements and you have to learn by mistakes you’ve made. So folks – if you looked back through this year, who you’ve worked for, what you have worked on, who you have worked with, where, when, how…the question is, what would you do differently? What would you not do again? How would you change it? What do you want to do next year? The answers to those questions should be written down somewhere. F

In a world of sadvertising and saturated sales messages, this time of year sees the huge players battle out who will make the most poignant advert for this time of year. The briefs are simple and making the audience cry is number 2 objective (after making money, of course). My winner is… Congratulations Sainsburys. You’ve won the Christmas Advert Crown for 2014. #onlinepruk #sadvertising #saintsburyschristmasadvert2014 #christmasadvertising #advertising

Memes are a great way to get a message to the masses quickly. Make them relevant, funny and timely and you just may go viral! Here’s a few that went viral last night during #imaceleb featuring #jimmybullard! …and here’s PSFKs guide on how to make your own. Good luck! #viralmeme #onlinepruk #Marketing #meme #jimmybullard #SocialMedia

…And who are you selling to? That should be the question on every marketers mind, at all times. It actually doesn’t matter if you are selling houses or makeup, a plumber or business consultancy, what matters is how you are selling it and to whom. How? Do you live, breath and dream what you are selling? If not, it probably won’t sell (as well). Good marketing comes from ‘being’ the consumer. Being able to write a story that you relate to and believing the story you are telling

Corporate blindness is rife. If you are within the corporate jungle you have to play ball like them otherwise you sink. And although that ‘competitive streak’ is important, it’s the way in which you play that’s crucial. It will always irritate me that someone ‘just raised the game’ (in that particular way) I’m hooked. But it will also anger me that every chess move its placed with a sneer, smirk, evil baddie chuckle. The enjoyment achieved by folk playing this way is corrupti
