To help make sure everyone moving home has as smooth an experience as possible, AboutMyArea has compiled an information-
AboutMyArea is a national network of postcode specific websites, all of which are packed with useful information for everyone in the community. The websites are fully localised which means that when people click through their search engine results, they are guaranteed to find exactly what they were looking for in the areas they were looking for it: something that doesn’t happen with some of the other so-called local online directories.
AboutMyArea has put together a number of options to help local businesses promote their moving home services on these postcode-specific websites. Businesses may visit http://www.aboutmyarea.co.uk/
One of these options is article marketing: the latest way to promote a business without spending money. Vanessa Holmes, editor of the websites covering RM1, RM6-RM10 and IG11 says: “Publishing articles of interest on these local portals is the ideal way to get a message through directly to the people who count – locals. What’s more, any business that needs a kick-start with their article writing needn’t worry because we have taken some time to put together a list of possible topics, from the latest in interior design trends to the ins and outs of Home Information Packs.”
Another promotional option for Romford, Dagenham and Barking businesses is an enhanced business listing. All businesses are entitled to a free listing in the sites’ business directories, but to really stand out they can enhance their listing with images, an extended description and a link to their website. For a selection of examples visit http://www.aboutmyarea.co.uk/
The last option is a banner advertisement, which is currently being offered with a free enhanced business listing. All these options are exceptionally cost effective and aimed at small-business budgets.
Any estate or letting agent with properties to market in Romford, Barking or Dagenham is invited to list them free of charge for the duration of the feature.
Vanessa concludes, “This feature is about local businesses offering a face-to-face moving home service to local people. It’s the best form of targeted marketing there is!”
Any business in RM1, RM6, RM7, RM8, RM9, RM10 or IG11 wishing to take advantage of the unique promotional opportunities offered by the AboutMyArea moving home feature should contact Colin Holmes on 020 8517 1581 or e-mail: colinandvanessa@
