New Catalogue

For some time we have been pondering over how to produce a catalogue that won't bankrupt the company. One of our suppliers has come to the rescue and in early February we should be able to send all customers a massive 140 page spectacular with the majority of our best sellers included.

We will also allow potential customers to request it from the web sites by leaving their contact details.

I'll post a firmer date later in January.

Green Batteries and helping save the Planet

In the New Year we are going to be offering the Uniross range of rechargeable batteries and chargers.

Did you know that every year in the UK we throw away enough disposable batteries to cover 150 football pitches! What an environmental disaster!!!

PLEASE USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

The Uniross range has been endorsed by WWF hence our reason for offering them.

Anyway keep an eye on diyessentials for more news!

SEOs and are they worth the money?

WOW have we come a long way since my last post. Back in January we had been trading for six weeks with our new site www.diyessentials.com and life was ok. We now run three more sites:

www.kitchen-doorhandles.co.uk
www.binsforkitchens.co.uk
www.bathroom-essentials.co.uk

Turnover has tripled and we are moving into new premises in the New Year. Staff numbers have also doubled which is making life interesting. We have plans for four more sites in the next three months so watch this space.

We went to see blueclaw today who came highly recommended and had a long chat with Fegus, the MD. He seems to know what he is talking about so we will probably be using his services in the New Year. This will boost our natural listings for our chosen keywords and enable us to cut down on Google ppc spend.

Thats all for now and I promise to keep the blog much more up to date.
