Clients
My clients are very diverse.
This means that I have to be too. I have worked with Business Link as a one-to-one consultant, and that’s mainly where I began to see the trends that are starting to come through. SME’s are great at what they do. They are true specialists in their field. But sometimes they lack the marketing expertise needed to give their business that push that they need to succeed. That’s where I come in.
What my clients are saying...
Frances asked all the right questions and provided a professional service pointing out the right way to lay out the site for optimum readability. I would recommend Frances and her company to anyone requiring web content with that all important marketing know how.- Marc Burrows (Carbon Reducing Services)
The challenge for my business is to generate some new leads and regular clients. As my business is purely visual, I had to get an e-shot campaign off the ground and I was clearly impressed by Frances’ no-nonsense explanatory approach. We discussed the challenges affecting my business and the type of businesses I wanted to attract. With this in mind she developed a simple to use campaign at an affordable rate, that I can use from now on. A result was delivered immediately after the first e-shot, when a prospective client rang the next day to offer me continuing scamp and design work for O2. Another contact may want to use me for exhibition design for a college. I believe they would not have called but for the campaign devised by Frances. Frances is clear, concise, down-to-earth, extremely helpful and very charming to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her excellent work to colleagues and clients alike. Well done, Frances!- Jane Sherburn (Dumblond)
Estate Concern needed a new website that reflected our values and was flexible and easy to use. We had spent some time trying to find the right provider and Word Weaver Marketing suggested using a Wordpress site because it ticked all the right boxes for us. Frances explained everything clearly, making sure we were happy with the process every step of the way. We would have no hesitation in recommending her services.- Neil Hayward - Partner (Estate Concern)
Frances helped to develop The Fork & Spoon Caterers from an idea on a piece of paper, to a viable business concept. Through her ability to engage with, and understand our position within the catering sector, she understood our unique selling point which enabled a clearly defined business to emerge. Frances worked tirelessly to encourage face to face networking as an essential marketing tool, helping to emphasise the many positive aspects that The Fork & Spoon Caterers have to offer, as people really do buy people. Frances’s ability to instigate introductions via her array of contacts has helped to bring The Fork & Spoon Caterers to the forefront of the local business community. These contacts have proved useful in a number of areas of The Fork & Spoon Caterers business, from finding a printer to print our promotional material, to enabling us to cater at the 2011 Morley Chamber AGM. Frances has proved instrumental in the copy of all The Fork & Spoon Caterers promotional material. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance with the successful marketing of their business.- Jonathan Brook (Fork and Spoon Caterers)
I thoroughly enjoyed the Hard Working Website session. I learned a lot about search engine optimisation and have come away armed with valuable information on how to improve my site.- Lesley O'Brien (Freightlink Europe)
Frances helped me raise my online profile by collaborating with my web company and produced new copy that was targeted directly at my customers. She simplified the site making it easier to navigate which increased those all important sales.- Annaliese Magee (Fuchsia Pet Boutique and Spa)
Frances of Word Weaver Marketing undertook a marketing review with ODI consisting of 5 days of consultation during which time she analysed our market position. Frances quickly gained an understanding of us and started to propose new ideas to push the business forward. All suggestions were clearly accounted for and supported by measurable values and statistics. The resulting recommendations clearly identify short, medium and long term marketing strategies which will undoubtedly lead us towards our goals. The suggestions incorporate traditional marketing practices alongside the most up to the minute social networking techniques. Throughout the time Frances spent with ODI she almost became part of the company and gained the respect of the whole team. We will continue to consult with Frances and regard her as part of our ongoing success. Thank you to Frances and Word Weaver Marketing, I have no hesitation in recommending your services.- David Cowgill (Partner) (ODI large format printer)
Frances at Word Weaver Marketing recently implemented a social media strategy for Onwards & Upwards Sales & Lettings Agents. We were provided with a platform on Twitter (@onandupproperty) and Facebook (Onwards & Upwards Sales & Lettings Agents) specific to our requirements and advised step by step in how to use them in the most effective way. Frances took the time to have an initial meeting to understand our needs and to then spend time in specifically walking us through the whole process. We have now embraced technology and Onwards & Upwards is now penetrating cyber space thanks to Frances!- Janine Dunnigan Director of Onwards & Upwards (Onwards and Upwards Estate Agents)
Frances did exactly what she said she was going to do for the price that we agreed and when she said she was going to do it. It makes a refreshing change.- Richard Hall (Pd-m International)
Following an informative, motivational email marketing course this morning I would highly recommend Frances. She is a wealth of knowledge backed up with real stories from her own marketing working life, bringing the subject to life. Her course encouraged peer participation and engagement in an open yet professional manner. I am left bursting with ideas to move forward with my own project. I now have the practical answers to the marketing concept to allow me to succeed.- Sarah Sharp (WAXTiE)
