@penrynian Hi Phil, With regards to your MailChimp campaign, how about:
Underground police garage GPS coverage solution
…as a Subject line?

  Thank you Nigel, that reads well, and is much more elegant than my original offering of “Underground police garage was a GPS-denied environment”
  Thanks for your valuable input

  I followed up with a post on LinkedIn main profile page, plus a few groups of which I am a member.
  Turned into a bit of a frustrating episode – when I added the URL of the page I want people to click through to, the LI platform automatically fetches a clickable page preview.
  However, the image doesn’t fit the available space, looks a bit odd, so I…[Read more]

  Thanks for sharing this, Phil. Yes, it can be a bit hit and miss. You could Google ‘LinkedIn images sizes’ which may help, next time around.
- Phil Whitting - FalTech GPS replied 2 days, 7 hours ago
  
  One useful thing that I did learn in this process: if you enter the page URL that you want to link to, the LinkedIn platform pulls in the meta description for that page to accompany the main image. I noticed that the image description was the default site meta description, which alerted me to the fact that I hadn’t taken advantage of the Yoast…[Read more]

  Two days after posting this on LI I have 650 views and 12 likes – not too shabby.
  I also sent out a MailChimp message to a dozen or so people who would have an interest in that specific application.
  I had two opens – shabby.
  
  Question is – should I send a message to the whole of the remainder of the list with a “have you seen this, you may find it…[Read more]

  I think that you should send 1-2-1 emails to the relevant people + telephone them.

  Yes, very good. I suggest that you continually cut down sentence lengths, as this is a shortcut to better readability. For example:

  Thanks Nigel – great advice and useful tips. Of course – always friends! 🙂

  Thank you, David. I liked this case study. (It would help to print it out and run your finger slowly along the text, whilst you read it out loud to yourself).

Looking for a Sales Force guru to work on a contract basis in the south east – does anyone know of a potential candidate please?
Thanks
Phil
- Joanna Temple replied 6 days, 6 hours ago
  
  Can anyone help Phil with this? (Nigel has worked with Salesforce with regards to integrating it with MailChimp, however it is not one of his specialisations). By the way, I am sure that you are already doing this – LinkedIn would be a good place to put this message.

Hi Nigel, Following our call … I have done some work with Linked In updating my profile photos. Will apprecaite more advice about marketing through LinkedIn. I often get messages from LinkedIn re contect reqwueste etc but canot find them when I log in. Look forward to report more activity soon. Regards Raymonso
- Nigel Temple replied 6 days, 13 hours ago
  
  I recommend that you always have LinkedIn open, within a browser window, on your office computer. In addition, download the app for your smartphone and always have this enabled, so that you receive push messages via your smartphone.
- Nigel Temple replied 6 days, 13 hours ago
  
  When you view LinkedIn on a desktop / laptop you will see the menu at the top right of the screen. Look closely and you may see red circles with numbers in them there. For example, this morning, within my LinkedIn account I can see that I have 2 notifications (as there is a red circle with a 2 within it, hovering over ‘Notifications’ within the…[Read more]

We have stared running a couple of Facebook ads to promote our MailChimp training workshops http://www.mailchimptraining.co.uk So far this week (10:17am Wednesday morning) we have had 4 enquiries.

Do you use sitelinks within your Google Ads? They typically lift CTR by 15%. Aim for 18-20 characters for desktop links and 12-15 for smartphones. Create unique sitelinks at the Campaign or Ad Group level.

Designing for mobile, tablet and PC – I’m using WordPress and fortunately this does make things a lot easier.

  For startups / brand new websites I recommend that the marketing team ‘designs for mobile first’. The iPhone was launched in 2007 and now everyone walks around with a smartphone, don’t they?

Hi Nigel,

I took your course the other week – very good! I have a question regarding groups on Mailchimp.

At the moment, as I’m getting more contacts I’m adding them as groups to one big list. So for example, I work in travel. In my master list, I have made a group for contacts interested in Japan, under that group I have another group for…[Read more]

I have been alerted to a neat function in the new AdWords interface.

Note: this may have always been there – I am not an AdWords guru so it’s quite possible this little gem passed me by.

There’s a compare function in the date picker, top right of the main AdWords page – you can set the beginning and end dates of the period you are interested…[Read more]

  Thank you for sharing this Phil – most helpful. Kind regards, Joanna
  PS Nigel mentioned that he is using the ‘new look’ AdWords interface via Chrome (less cluttered, easier to work with).

  I agree Joanna, for once it seems like a change for the better!
Phil Whitting – FalTech GPS posted an update 2 weeks, 2 days ago

I am in the process of writing some new case studies; people like to read stories about others who have experience in using the same product or service so this is a worthwhile exercise. The CS’s will be backed up by blog posts and MailChimp messages.

- Nigel Temple replied 2 weeks, 2 days ago
  
  Case studies are worth their weight in gold and we should all have more of them. I have looked at your website: https://www.gps-repeaters.com ….and I agree that FAQ could go under About. I think that Clients should remain in the main nav bar. I agree with points #2 and #3. I hope that this helps.
- Phil Whitting - FalTech GPS replied 2 weeks, 2 days ago
  
  It does help Nigel, and makes good sense.
  Many thanks

- Phil Whitting - FalTech GPS replied 2 weeks, 2 days ago
  
  Changes made as discussed, all I need to do now is create more case studies
