There are clever strategies to drive profits to your business right under your fingertips:

Only recently, Google has decided to take note of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn activity to positively influence real-time searches in such a way where activity on the social networks can positively affect your search-engine rankings!

Social Networks can no longer be ignored. Some Facebook facts:

• over 500 million active monthly users
• 50% of active users log in on any given day
• users on average have around 130 friends and spend more time on the site than on Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Microsoft, Wikipedia and Amazon combined

A recent Nielsen study found consumers are starting to trust their friends and families more than any other source of information.

Owyang reports that 60% of Facebook users are more likely to recommend a brand after being a fan.

We at the Brightonesque Group have been helping local businesses and artists since 1999. Since then, both of our sites (we also have an online magazine, Brighton Rag, updated hourly) have excellent levels of traffic; we've run many campaigns for various businesses and artists. We have developed a loyalty of over 320,000 readers and around 50,000 direct 'friends and followers' on many social networks, through the magazine in particular, and our social media strategies in general. These members trust our comments and word-of-mouth potential has been powerful for our clients.

Our influence has now penetrated London and further markets.

We can do the same for your company by properly setting up your social network strategy - kick-started by our readership and strategic and informative articles in our magazine linking to  your current website (which we can spruce up both in appearance and keyword & SEO strategies) and to micro-sites and blogs, to channel increasingly greater traffic back to your site.

We can redesign your existing site or build a new site with basic html or a fully featured content management system with user registration, web to email contact forms, blogs, mailing lists, online shops and more.

Our fees are much lower than our competitors and we do allow for creative payment strategies under the right conditions.

Please contact us for more details and look out for our upcoming Brightonesque Directory of local services and artists.

 

What makes Brighton so special?

What makes Brighton stand out?

It's not just another seaside town - it has a quality all its own.

A quality which people of all walks of life respond to - a charisma which invites not only the mature - but also the young; the leisure seekers - but also the business ground-breakers; the 'alternative' community - but also the conventional politicians.

Brighton has a vast range of things to explore socially, psychologically and creatively in close proximity to London - one of the greatest and most vibrant cities in Europe.

This bohemian Brighton - now joined with Hove - offers many creative ways to show off your talent or business like few cities in the U.K by having its own unique style, and leaves its personality and charisma… a Brightonesque quality on everyone.

At the Brightonesque Group, we care not just about the greater Brighton & Hove region's cultural health, but its economic health as well; so we focus on helping local businesses and artists/musicians - large or small, just starting up or well-established - increase their opportunities for growth and increased profitability.

The internet is a unique tool in that it is not static like an advert in a newspaper or phone book [ which is limited by reader count ], or a storefront [ which is limited by shopper traffic ]. The internet is a living organism where potential traffic limitations do not exist. You can chat, shop, order pizza, read a foreign newspaper, even watch news and movies from all around the world.

The only problem with the internet, is a lack of organisation. It grows willy-nilly because it wasn't born in a day, but is constantly added to from all over the world on an eternally on-going basis.

The Brightonesque group of internet sites combine to save you searching time in a unique but simple way - we turn the greater Brighton area into a virtual village!

Under one 'roof' the vistor finds art galleries, image boutiques of all sorts, chatrooms-in fact its own social network like facebook, a virtual magazine and much more - all devoted to the greater region of Brighton & Hove!

It will never be stagnant, but always improved by the suggestions and needs of its residents and visitors. We want the Brightonesque group to be fully interactive with its public - in fact while we build and make improvements, we stay public, never going off-line, so you can you see the changes as they happen.

Since the onset of the recent recession, we thought we would come up with a 'stimulus package' all our own to help local businesses.

If you are an individual or a business of any size, looking to increase your volume of traffic and therefore income, then we can help you even if you have something on the net already.

Since there is so much to see ( as you'll soon find ) under the Brightonesque.com roof, there will always be an ever-increasing amount of traffic. Traffic - or amount of 'web-surfers' - is essential for spreading the word about yourself, your products, or your services. This is something that is not guaranteed when you spend a lot of money building your own stand-alone web site. ( You may still have to pay for advertising to send people to your site to learn more about what you're offering. ) That's just silly AND expensive!

With us, you are part of a cooperative, like renting a store in a busy shopping mall, so your costs of opening are shared by everyone in your interest group - plus the 'foot traffic' is already there. In addition we have a professional business consultant - internationally experienced in sales, marketing, promotion and other important stuff - whose services - if requested - are free for new business!

Let's look at an example:

We all know the Brighton area artists open their doors at least once a year for an 'Open House' in order to show off their wares and abilities with all types of artwork - be they their own, or artwork found from all over. They do this as a way to get noticed for what they're doing in an informal but important way to 'spread the word'. They are often individuals with loads of talent, but perhaps on a tight budget; having their own stand-alone web site, advertising budget, or a storefront may be beyond their means.

Here's an example of how we can help those artists:

Brightonesque has a 'wing' just for various artists and art merchants of all types, called the Brightonesque Art Gallery.

In this gallery are a number of 'studios' dealing in various mediums of artwork. These 'studios' are, effectively, virtual 'store-fronts' - personalised web sites devoted to each vendor [ like a shopping mall ], except that each 'studio' is actually a fully interactive web site fully integrated into the rest of the Brightonesque village but completely designed and run by the artist or merchant. more...

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to use the contact form to get in touch. Our sites are always live and improving based on increased membership and YOUR constant input and suggestions to make the community's power become stronger.
