One didn’t work but another did…….progress of sorts

Update from last week. My ‘exciting’ YouTube video did not in the end, load after all, so I am going to have another go at it and when I work out the way to do it, I will do a blog on it so you too can YouTube, as it were.

What has worked and took hardly any time, was to put an advert up on Face-book. Took me a while to work out how to do everything, but the instructions do appear to match up with the options. I ended up putting on an advert on a ‘Gifts for him’ headline and choose our Nelson liqueur. The only real snag is that when you upload a picture, it gets squashed so the Nelson 50cl bottle looks a bit odd. For the first time, I inserted a link to the actual Nelson ordering page on my site-let’s see if it gets approved and then the outcome. It is amazing to choose the age and interest profile for your potential customers for adverts-no wonder the traditional media are having a hard time of it.

Uk still in the grip of people unable to get backlogs of orders sorted due to an odd combination of schools off (stuck with kids all day), very icy roads (and they are), piles of snow gumming up smaller roads (which is the case here) and general paralysis of the entire transport system, including the petrol tankers who can’t get to the refineries etc. All this means that than instead of our Courier collecting our orders, I am delivering them to the Courier and some bigger orders,  am driving down to England tomorrow to deliver it myself as the Show Distributor is at a show and is running out of our liqueurs.

With luck, by next week, things will have calmed down and I will be able to move ahead on several exciting fronts-I will announce what next week.

All the best.
