Giving local businesses their ‘five a day’
Local marketing specialists Coconut Creatives and ourselves have recently teamed up to launch a pilot project to offer local businesses an integrated solution to managing online and offline marketing. The project which has now been running for several months has been hugely successful with a range of local and regional businesses realising the benefits of approaching their small business marketing needs in this holistic way.
We both decided to launch www.fruitandnutmarketing.co.uk after having worked together on a number of hugely successful joint campaigns. One such project was with FitKid.co.uk which had complex requirements to meet the demands of their UK Training qualifications, National Franchising Operation and FitKid Dorset Clubs.
Nicky Kay, Development Director for FitKid has seen the benefits in working in this way; “We have ongoing assistance with our on and offline campaigns, regularly achieving newsworthy national PR coverage. Our new website and online shop was specified, created and designed beautifully and our customers have provided fabulous feedback. Coconut Creatives and Strawberrysoup work seamlessly together and we have seen significant company growth during the time we have been working together”.
“We’ve found that there is a certain mix of on and offline activities which bring our clients success. It just seemed logical to package this up and offer it to businesses throughout the region” adds Sarah Dyer, founder of Coconut Creatives.
