Social Media Marketing (SMM) | What's it all about?

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) recently published an article in their member's publication the Voice, relating to Social Media Marketing (SMM). At Artlines Media, many people we speak to believe it is not for them or their type of business. Usually this is because of time restraints when running a small business on your own, a fear of technology or a lack of knowledge when it comes to newer marketing methodologies. So if you have shied away from using Facebook, Twitter and other Socia… Continue

a brand should be influential

A brand should mean something. Like people, the most influential have always stood for something and let their feelings guide them in everything they do. A brand should also do remarkable things. Quiet, grey, boring brands appear almost invisible. At Artlines Media we prefer a brand to shout out, get noticed and be remembered. Buying trends have also changed. We can no longer herd the buying public like sheep. Instead we have to influence them in an intelligent way. Finally, the Internet has ma… Continue

Keyword Efficiency Indexing | SEO Technology Explained

Keyword and Key-phrase density provides a more successful result when it comes to SEO conversion. Imagine two complete circles side by side with space between them. On one side we have the search terms and keywords used by internet users looking for your product/ services. The other circle represents the words and phrases you believe they are using. Words you perhaps focus on in the content on your website. Now merge the two circles together a little. In the middle, where both circles overlap,… Continue

High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire | A great place to build a business

Many starting a new business search for premises in their home town. Let's face it it's practical, it saves fuel costs and cuts down on travelling time during the daily commute. Artlines Media is no different, however we also believe that High Wycombe has more to offer than just a new shopping centre, a division 1 football team and an historic chair making industry. Since the development of Eden, the town's new multi-million pound shopping experience, much of the town has had a face lift. New c… Continue

Making Creativity Happen in the Post Crunch World

In the new global investment landscape, banks, institutions and private investors are looking hard to find opportunities that maximise their returns. But in this new landscape the criteria for investment decisions need to be more than financial. Decisions must reflect the massive changes that have occurred throughout the UK and global economy and moreover, the new perceptions people have of poor corporate governance, lack of corporate social responsibility and declining standards in public and p… Continue

St John's: 2015

It’s 11th February 2015 in High Wycombe. After a shaky start, during which it barely stumbled through the credit crunch, Eden Shopping centre has gone from strength to strength and is attracting people from all corners of North-West London. The ‘new social consciousness’, which all the media seems to have become fixated with since the dark days of 2008 and 2009, is what seems to be pulling shoppers in as they look less to the joys of naked consumerism and more to making practical purchases that… Continue

Let's Hear It For Eden!

Let’s hear it for Eden? What? That monster that has bounded into the front garden of our cramped town, kicked down the door and sprayed the living room with a multitude of glossy, soulless commerce, nicking the comfy chair once proudly occupied by local business? Yes, let’s hear it for all of that. It’s easy to have a go at Eden, but perhaps less easy to assess what good it has brought to High Wycombe. And I don’t just mean not having to trek to Reading every time you want to buy a new shirt. I… Continue
