We have been recently been developing a new iphone app for ASI Fire Fighting. It is super sleek, informative and very attractive.

We feel it will be a great commodity to ASI and enable them to display their products to a whole new audience for free. It is a great little app that tells people all about the different types of fire extinguishers, how to use them and general important fire safety information.

The app is currently being submitted to Apple, so watch this space and we will post when the free app is available to download to the iphone!

As you can see we are all ready and prepared for the Executive Hire Exhibition tomorrow!

Smart Lights are exhibiting at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, showcasing their latest product – a wind reactive light tower. Design bp have organised everything, from planning to the installation tomorrow.

We have bought all the furniture on a budget from Ikea to save money, as hiring can cost more than purchasing in some cases. The exhibition can also be reused in different locations, as the panels are standard sizes and the furniture can be moved to suit the surroundings.

We will be posting some pictures of the final exhibition over the next couple of days, so keep checking back.

Will the new iPad be called iPad 3 or will it be called iPad 2s.

Nobody knows when the new iPad will be released. I mean common it has to be soon as there are rumours of the iPad coming out in summer 2012.

I think we all want to know what the iPad will look like, but don’t you think the surprise is better?

There are so many rumours about the iPad but two of them are that the iPad will have the same mega pixel camera as the iPhone 4s. The other rumour is that the iPad may have kinect style gesture controls.

Let’s just hope that the iPad will be worth the wait!

iCloud is an app which comes already downloaded onto the new iPhones, iPads and also iPod Touches.

It is the most fantastic app you can have on your device. The app allows you to transfer all your photos, music, videos, mail calendar etc to your other device. When you load your device up all your data will be ready to use.

When you do sign up to iCloud you get 5GB free of storage which goes along way.  The other best part about iCloud is that you don’t have to pay and you don’t even after sync your files.

This app is fabulous and a must have.

Design bp are currently gaining great SEO results for both Solus Ceramics & Passwords Services.

We have achieved excellent results for keywords such as “anti slip ceramic tiles” from nowhere to position 2 in the search results on Google. We have also moved Solargains position for “Solar Panel Installation Birmingham” from nowhere to 6.

Without these successful results it is difficult for people to find these great websites. Being in a high position in Google search means there is a greater chance of people visiting and buying off the website. It is progressive and takes time, but the end results are really pleasing. These are also organically shown, so they do not have to pay to be shown at the top of the search results like PPC.

ASI Fire Fighting are targeting the local Halesowen and Warwick areas with a leaflet drop.

The aim is to make people aware of the fire stations closing down, putting their houses at higher risk due to longer journey times. By owning fire extinguishers, people can try to combat small fires whilst waiting for the fire brigade to arrive. It is peace of mind for people and an extra precaution, just in case anything did ever happen.

We hope this will make people aware of the necessity of a fire extinguisher and how they can protect their home and their families with a home extinguisher pack.

Which phone do you prefer?

The iPhone 4s and Samsung Galaxy II have there advantages and disadvantages.

One of the advantages for the Samsung Galaxy II would be that the screen is a lot bigger than the iPhone 4s. The screen size for the Samsung Galaxy II is 4.3 inches and for the iPhone 4s the screen size is 3.5 inches.

One of the advantages for the iPhone 4s would be the camera, the camera is a 8 mega pixel which means the graphics are really good, however the Samsung Galaxy II has a 5 and 8 mega pixel camera which gives the Samsung Galaxy II an advantage to.

The disadvantage of having a Samsung Galaxy II would be the battery life, the battery life lasts up to one and half days. The iPhone 4s battery lasts up to 12 hours.

The Samsung Galaxy II looks to be the winning phone guys.

Samsung Galaxy II – 3/3

iPhone 4s – 1/3.

As new ways of communicating with your target audience are introduced on a fairly regular basis, today’s consumer is more sceptical than ever of cold calling and other impersonal sales tactics.

Apart from online sales, you know yourself that the vast majority of people will ‘buy into’ another person rather than a brand and not neccesarily a product alone. Face to face is a great way of achieving a high conversion of sales so if your business is targeting the consumer consider marketing your business in your local shopping centre.

The footfall in any shopping centre provides good exposure to your organisation, your brand and you. A simple pull up banner clearly displaying your services (not too busy with detail) will capture passing eyes if only for one or two seconds. A friendly, smiling & knowledgeable representative has a chance to convert passing interest into sales opportunities. These retractable banners are widely available on the internet from around £140 for the print. Just make sure you are getting a good clear message over in the design with a strong call to action.

From our research, prices for a typical floor space start from as little as £300 per week. So as you can see, for a small financial outlay plus your (or a colleague’s) time, you can gain both a great deal of exposure for your business along with some quality sales prospects.
