Newsletter - March 2010
Welcome to the March edition of the Peterborough Workspace Newsletter.
During February we have welcomed D and T Filters to Workspace House who have taken two units and we have also seen some further expansion by existing tenants. No one has left us during February so, at present, we have two units vacant, details of which can be seen on our available space page.
Not only have we seen expansion from existing tenants, we have already started to see some very worthwhile joint initiatives between tenants here, something that we are very keen to develop and encourage here at Workspace House.
During February, we welcomed Sharon Craft of Crafty Marketing here. Crafty Marketing is itself a start up/new business and Sharon gave a very upbeat presentation to a number of our tenants covering the use of websites to develop business, particularly the dark art of Search Engine Optimisation and very interestingly, how some of the new social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook can be used to link to your website and help you obtain leads for new business. Very enlightening (particularly to those who are still dragging themselves into the modern on-line world!) and well received by those present resulting in the potential for some good business for Sharon.
We held another combined lunch and tenant's meeting this month. There was some great debate and ideas coming forward over what we can do to help develop Workspace itself but also what we can do to help the various businesses here to "live long and prosper" in what are still uncertain times. Part of this will be to continue to try and find ways for people here to work together on joint initiatives to move their businesses forward.
As ever I am grateful to Peter Mulhall of Business Link for providing a further article designed to help small businesses with their all important marketing ideas. This month's article introduces “Digital Marketing” and goes on to give a little insight into blogging - please click on the link to access the article.
Peterborough Workspace is ideal for those businesses working from home who want to get to the next level. If you are aware of any such business which would benefit from the services which we provide please refer them directly to me.
