Electrical Concepts Ltd on Virgin radio

Hello,
Something I’ve been planning for a while was to get the company name heard on radio for free as much as possible and I had my first hit last week and it was great I had Christian from Virgin radio’s morning show mention ‘Electrical Concepts’. It’s a big buzz to hear your own company name being mentioned on the radio. So it now begins and I’m going to try and get it on the radio a lot more now!!

Another change in the world of Electrical Concepts (for regular readers) and you may have seen in the title is that we are now a Ltd company, which means I’ll have to be getting new stationary printed up, but not until the old lot is finished up!! I decided to go for the ltd company under the advice of my accountant and it’s benefits of limited liability and because I think it makes the company seem a little more professional than a sole trader!!

I’m also thinking of getting an office but on a high street near me. I think I need an office because I’m outgrowing the space in my dining room and I can sometimes get distracted easily in the dining room. I’ve been looking at office space at around the 300M squared range and found some for around £600/ month and then heard about a shop of the same size for £1000/ month Which at first I decided against, but then I thought that for the extra £400 I’d have a shop on a busy high street which I could have the shop front done up with my logo and whatever I put in the window, and I’ve got quite a few ideas about that!!! I was also thinking I’d have lights lighting up the front and shining onto the pavement would be my logo and maybe on to the other building on the other side of the road my logo would be there spinning around and lighting up!!
I think the shop idea would be good as it would be great advertising, for a little more than the cost of advertising in magazine which (depending on the magazine) costs around £300/ month. It would be there all the time to getting to literally thousands of people a week.
It also has the added benefit of letting people know where the company is, i.e. not a fake address or a mobile number and it WILL look professional too!

Other things happening in the world of Electrical Concepts are we’re getting a 0800 free phone number, which is going on to the van and t-shirts and other marketing materials and hopefully soon I’ll have a good electrician working for me.
