Moving Quickly On...

Hello again

We've just moved house (at rather short notice, hence the headline) which means, since we work from home, that we've also moved office.

Our new address is:

2 Chichester Close
Bury St Edmunds
IP33 2LZ

And our new phone number: 01284 767193.


After such a quick move there was a lot of sorting out and decluttering to do. We have to thank Mark Byford and Gary Spencer of Crack on!! who supplied the van and heavy lifting on the day (seven trips!) and so it was easy to decide where all our surplus stuff would go. Mark has already been back twice with the Crack on!! van to collect for their new warehouse/shop in Thetford. 

But we (that's Cinnamon Edge) are back into the swing of things, we've almost stopped tripping over boxes, and we're ready to help you with your business' marketing just as soon as you want to call the new number!

That's 01284 767 193.

We've Always Been in the 'Offline Niche'

Hello again.

If you have a business of any kind at all the chances are you have been contacted a lot recently by ‘marketing consultants’ or 'online marketing experts’ offering to help you update your marketing, save on your advertising and market your business more effectively online.

These people are mainly Internet marketers looking to employ their skills and knowledge to help you and your business – and most of them are totally genuine.

However, an awful lot of Internet marketers are moving to what has become known as the ‘offline niche’ (that’s businesses like yours) because making money online is not quite as easy as they were led to believe. It’s certainly not as easy as it used to be. They've been led to believe that life is easier in the offline world and they've probably bought information products telling them exactly how easy it is...

Not that that’s your problem, of course – until you start being pestered by ‘offline marketers’ you’ve never heard of and barraged with emails and phone calls you didn’t want.

As I say, most of these people are totally genuine. Some of them could actually help your business. A few of them have real-world experience, too.

But most of them are primarily Internet marketers and most of the help they can give your business comes with the assumption that Internet marketing, websites and emails are the best thing for your business – before they even know what your business is about.

At Cinnamon Edge, however, we’ve always been in the ‘offline niche’ – or ‘business marketing and promotion’ as we prefer to call it. We’ve always worked with ‘offline’ businesses (businesses not unlike yours) and we’ve always asked questions first before we offered any suggestions or advice, let alone offered our services.

That’s why, if your business needs better marketing or promotion, or you just want to find out if it could, Cinnamon Edge is the place to come first.

Yes, we do build websites, do search engine optimisation (SEO), write web copy and conduct email marketing campaigns and write newsletters, articles and online news releases, build links, create videos and optimise your Google Places page. We’ll even run your social media campaigns for you – but ONLY if any of those are actually going to help your business.

We also write press ads and printed articles, brochure copy and press releases – in fact, whatever your business needs to do or needs to do better.  

But first, we find out exactly what you do need – just as we always have.

PS. There ARE people out there who can help you - especially if the ones who have had real world experience or the kind of training that teaches them everything that really could help your business.

Very soon I'll tell you how you can tell the difference between them and the rest!

Meanwhile, you're safe with marketing help from Cinnamon Edge.

PPS. We also run training courses and workshops, as well as in house training.
