Maxxd Marketing

For starters, I have to state how busy and stressful this week has been. We have never in our lives had the amount of stress and pressure put on us like we have this week - but it is all so worth it.

We have been finishing and proof reading our magazine, as it went to print TODAY! It has been a very tiring experience, as you can read through something four times, and still not see all the errors. Hopefully we have it error free, and have made it a really good read.

We have been planing everything for the show next weekend too, as the last show we left everything too late. We should be picking up a loan vehicle to take us both and the magazines and marquees to Donington - its an exciting experience!

A big thanks to Helen and the rest of the team that have helped us with the mag, and also Scott from xXx who is lending us a vehicle. Ollie has made a fantastic job of the features, his write ups are something to shout about.
Its time to start working on the second magazine now and developing the MaxxDirectory further. There are alot of companies out there interested in the next issue and becoming more involved with Maxxd. The front page advertising is looking promising, we have a few companies fighting for the front page space, which we are offering to a set amount of companies, well, for the time being that is who knows how far it will all go.
We are working on some large deals with the directory too, not just the £49 per year accounts but more on a national level which are worth thousands.

Since starting the magazine, our horizons have widened no end and we have learnt so much about online advertising, there’s so much out there, its amazing.

We are taking the weekend off and chilling to the max, Dave’s car is back on the road so he’ll more than likely be visiting a few local towns and attracting some new members for the club.

Next week will be a like a new beginning, Helen & Dave are sorting out a new approach to the sales and marketing and creating a fresh media pack and then the fun and games shall commence.

Today has been very hectic, I am writing this as I leave for the day as i need to get things ready for the show this weekend. We have been finishing off a few bits for a client’s website and also for our magazine.

Dave is going to spend a few hours with the accountant tonight, to get the books up to date. Friday night + accounts work, niiiiiiiiiiice.
Ill end this now with this word from our sponsor…

We are approaching the end of another month, time is going too quick at the moment, the days feel like a few hours, and the work load is slowly piling as high as a small tower.

We have recently quoted a few companies for front page advertising and we hope to close these very soon. We have our fingers crossed.

The magazine is still full steam ahead, we have had two companies pull their advert out which has put us under a bit more pressure than we expected but this is already in the process of being pulled back. The deadline is approaching and the pressure is on.

Dave and Helen have been out today visiting a few local companies in the hope that they’ll pull in a few extra adverts. Its looking like a local organisation are putting £2000.00 in for a advert and some editorial, fingers crossed.

More tomorrow…
