About Social Media and How it Will Help Your Business Grow
If your business is not making effective use of social media, you are passing up the chance of communicating value to
As a business you have the opportunity to join in those conversations and situations, in a way in which your presence is welcomed, unlike the traditional interruptive marketing model.
You have the opportunity to demonstrate your core values, what your brand stands for and how you can help, in a very non- salesy way.
In other words, you can begin the ‘know, like, trust’ process that inspires strangers to buy from you, after all – what is the number one job of any business owner? To get and keep customers.
This is essentially how Bramblebuzz works to achieve the results you are looking for from social media.

Do you need a steady stream of new leads, new customers and sales in your business?
Do you realize that it’s a no-brainer for a business to be ‘on social media’, but you really can’t seem to get your head around it, or get the results you hear everyone else going on about? A
(it could be that it’s even ‘burning a hole in your head’ as one of my clients said), but struggling with such overwhelm of info products, blogs and advice, you don’t know where to start?
Maybe you’re in a business with multiple Twitter accounts,
, and give you clarity. I’ll help you weave social media into your business to get the results you want and need, without it taking over. In short, I can help you generate enough interests and leads to double your business * (* in most cases!)
In case we’ve not met before: I am the small business social media expert, an award-winning specialist, helping business owners just like create buzz , leads and sales from using smart social media to add to and amplify your current marketing.
I work with smart businesses from start-ups to those with £15 million turnover, in both B2B and B2C environments
– as I find that the variety helps to spark creative ideas which can be used to help many other clients in different ways. But be warned – you and I will only get along if you are smart, switched-on and ready to put in some thinking and some work to ensure you get the results your business deserves.
As a mum of 6, I’m intuitively using my natural marketing skills every day, persuading my children to act in such a way as to generally keep the peace! I’m a bit of an internet-loving geek too, loving the cutting-edge. I was delightedly sending emails ( and awaiting the replies!) back in 1987 using the fore-runner to today’s providers – the university network. I’ve been running Facebook ads for 2 years now, unlike many of the ‘experts’ who have sprung up over night, but fail to understand the intricacies involved and the thinking required to get the most from them.
I’ve doubled my own business, been featured in the The Guardian, The Evening Standard, Digital Spy, Microsoft.com, been invited to speak at conferences and have landed very exciting opportunities all off the back of my own social media activity.
Just imagine what I could help you achieve?
I’m a Business Growth Adviser for Nigel Botterill’s Entrepreneurs’ Circle (in fact I’m the only independent BGA he retained from a group of over 30!).
This means that I spend time working at the coal face, immersed in helping ordinary businesses, just like yours, achieve extraordinary results. One of our members increased his profit by 40% on a matter of weeks, another regularly now hits her sales target for the month in a few days. So you could say I know a bit about what it takes to get and keep customers.
Thing is, social media is not a stand-alone – it needs to be woven into the DNA of your business
) in order to get the best results. I use all my business growth experience and combine it with my social media expertise to give you an explosive combination (better get those safety specs out!!)
I get results! Some of the results I have recently helped clients achieve include:
£2,000 of business in 3 tweets
Generation of so many new leads from LinkedIn that the business had to take on a new member of staff
This is an exact analogy with the business world today – businesses who don’t embrace the full potential that social business offers will, sooner or later, become extinct, and yet business owners and staff don’t have the skills, experience, confidence and knowledge to be able to understand all the geeky details of social media.
My role is to do exactly what I did for the world of forensic science – transfer the sometimes confusing, often-overwhelming cutting-edge social media technology into an easy-to-understand routine, robust, systemised process that can still be interpreted individually and used creatively to generate proper business results.
My strengths lie in both structuring and optimizing the system for your business
Training small business owners and staff presents different challenges but emotional intelligence – understanding mindset, combined with my attention to detail, structured approach, natural enthusiasm and passion to share the amazing potential offered by social media- really helps!! (These qualities also come in very handy in my role as Chair of Governors at our local village primary school!)
Introducing social media into the DNA of your business involves lots of communication and organization
, however large or small your business. I understand the complexities of resistance and the measures needed to ‘sell’ a solution and get people up to speed and on side quickly, having successfully carried out similar projects several times over.
