Small Business Marketing Strategy for Pellé Hair Salon

Another local business that we completed a new site for recently is Pellé Hair Salon. Marie was an independent hair stylist, but recently purchased her own hair salon in downtown Vancouver. In addition to setting her up with a new site, we've started her on Yelp and Google Local - essential elements for the marketing plan of any local business with a storefront. Our next step is to experiment with tools like Foursquare or Gowalla - to see if we can find a way to engage users of those tools.  

Oh, we also partnered with BBN3/Vancouver - a video platform that lets businesses engage video journalists, documentary makers and other experienced video producers to create fun narrative documentary-style business videos (as opposed to old-skool corporate talking heads vids). See the video below.

FarmCity.ca Relaunches

We just launched a redesign of FarmCity.ca.  FarmCity specializes in backyard and balcony organic gardening for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.  Seaton and her team will inspect your proposed garden plot or garden, help you figure out what to grow, build the necessary structures and get you started on your path to urban gardening.  I'm particularly thrilled with their strawberry condos - the ability to grow strawberries in small places on a balcony: super cool!  

Also, Seaton is an amazing photographer.  We've got her started on Flickr, sharing photos of the fruits of her and her clients' labour. (Psst .. if you're getting this in the email or the feed, there is an embedded slideshow above you may not be seeing - please click through for amazing veggie photography!!)

LintBucket and yoyomama announce Social Media Springboard for women entrepreneurs

Kate Trgovac, co-founder of LintBucket Media, and Annemarie Tempelman-Kluit, founder & editor-in-chief of yoyomama.ca, have started a workshop series on social media for women entrepreneurs.

Annemarie and Kate know that it can be confusing about knowing where to start in online marketing and social media. Every entrepreneur has about a b'zillion different ideas for growing their business.  But they aren't always sure where to start. So, they created a workshop that lets participants really focus on a particular aspect of their business and move from idea to action.
