Free Independents' Day Promotion on Spalding Market Place

We, at Drive By Websites, are passionate advocates for "Buying Local".

Today, we've offered our services for free to local independent Spalding businesses to promote their Independents' Day offers on Spalding Market Place - www.spaldingmarketplace.co.uk

Independents' Day is to be held on Thursday, 4th July. Because of the amount of interest, these dates have been extended to include the 5th & 6th July.  It's been reported in the Lincs Free Press this week that retailers in Spalding are queuing up to be part of a national campaign to put the soul back in shopping in town centres.  More than 50 Spalding businesses have already signed up to be involved.

Theo Paphitis, star of the BBC TV's Dragons' Den is backing the national campaign.   He said: "I am supporting this year's Independents' Day Campaign as I believe that independent businesses have a vital role to play in our economy."

Many of the participating businesses have some amazing offers  - you will find a selection of these on the Spalding Market Place website - www.spaldingmarketplace.co.uk

Phil Scarlett, president of the Spalding Chamber of Commerce said "Spalding has a very strong selection of independent stores.   It is critical during these challenging trading times that shoppers support their independent retailers.

If you are interested in taking part in Independents' Day, contact Hills at office@hillsdepartmentstore.co.uk or Crescent Traders at atcta@austinjohninteriors.co.uk

Street & Urbanwear E-Commerce Fashion Website

Check out what Drive By Websites has been involved in over the past few weeks - creating an e-commerce website for a street & urbanwear fashion company.

Drive By's client - Paul Thorpe, director - is aiming at young people between the ages of 18 and 35.

It's been such fun creating this e-commerce website because we also had a hand in taking some photographs.

The introduction of the American hip hop and skateboarding enthusiasts came to the UK over ten years ago and proved to be popular mainly with teenagers and the younger generation.

The theme considered to be, “Cool”, by many young people and so the need for smart casual and bright/colourful designs became a necessity.

The clothing is a statement for most young people, as they are a statement of hipness and imply that the person is part of a uniform or tribal group.

Check out the fantastic street and urbanwear designs by visiting:

With over 15 years building a reputation for high quality, professionally designed websites, Drive By Websites has created an affordable, easy to manage e-commerce platform so that you, as a small business owner, can compete on a level playing field with the nationals.  

Prices from only £995 plus VAT.

Spalding Hospice Foundation Website

The team at Drive By Websites has found creating the Spalding Hospice Foundation website a humbling experience and I'm very conscious that I would like to promote the Hospice and the most excellent work done by volunteers without being self-congratulatory.

But, promote I will because, just like me, you might not know that the Spalding Hospice Foundation was formed in 2002 with the aim of providing 24 hour hospice beds for the people of the Spalding area suffering from life threatening illnesses.

The hospice wants to provide a calm and caring environment for people whose illnesses cannot be cured. The hospice beds also provide respite care for carers as well as support for the patient.

The Spalding Hospice Foundation was established after an Open Meeting in the Parish Church in 2002 to raise funds with the sole objective of supporting hospice beds and palliative care for adults and young people with life threatening illnesses in Spalding and the surrounding area. The aim was to provide a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team to improve the quality of life for patients with a life threatening illness in a friendly and relaxed environment.


All monies raised, donations and bequests received are paid directly into a bank account and are used solely to support the hospice beds and palliative care services required by the Tulip Suite. No administration fees or any other charges are made by the Spalding Hospice Committee. The work of the Committee is voluntary to maximize the amount of monies available to be spent on the ongoing upkeep of the new Tulip Suite at the Spalding Johnson Community Hospital.

With over 40 million people using Facebook, Facebook offers exceptional, low cost marketing opportunities for the small business owner. You are probably aware of how large organisations are benefitting from Facebook. 

Isn't it time you gave it a go?

 
 If you're not already active on Facebook, 
you should get started right away

Here are three good reasons why:

1. You will find clients who you may never have had contact with before.  Facebook has the ability to open up a whole new world of potentially new customers.
2. In today’s world if you’re not ‘on-line’ then you’re seriously lacking the "cool" factor. Most people, when they want information, head straight for the internet. And with the increasing popularity of Facebook people now go straight to Facebook if they want to know more about a person or business.
3. You never know who is using Facebook and with the boom in social media marketing your networking possibilities are endless.
