Great storytelling stats…

Those who follow my social media channels will be aware that I have been working my storytelling magic on a bijoux vineyard in South Hams, Devon.

My task was to drive traffic to their newly redesigned website. A challenge I was happy to undertake as I already had a working relationship with the designer, who I knew would be helpful in achieving my targets.

Now as the end of my contract with Calancombe Estate looms into view, I am summarising my success as I prepare to hand over the reins to Fresh Digital, who I hope will build on my success.

In my time working with the Vineyard, Winery, and restaurant (which prides itself on growing its own grapes, crafting some amazing wines, and serving fresh home-grown food), I have increased their new user web traffic by 89% and successfully proved to The Estate that storytelling can make a significant difference to their website traffic and overall sales.

So how did I do it? Well that would be telling, but I can share with you that in my time working with the vineyard,  their web stats have consistently and organically rocketed (with no paid Ads), driving traffic to their website through email marketing (+783%), Facebook (692%), and Google (58%). All in all their web traffic from new users alone has increased by 89% – solid proof that storytelling can make an impact on your business…

A new venture for a new year

March is named after a Roman god, Mars, who the Romans prayed to for help with expanding their empire, so it seems a fitting month to soft launch a project I have been working on for a while.

The Writers Collective went live on social media today. Aimed at writers of all specialisms in the UK and beyond. It has been designed to be an online hub for connecting professional writers with writing services, as well as a directory for businesses to find writers and advertise jobs. Commercially orientated, the website will also provide an arena for writers to share their work,  discover events, courses and jobs.

The Writers Collective Community is hosted from on the Facebook page of the same name and is where all the interaction between writers will happen  – hopefully sparking discussions of subjects which affect all writers from struggles with running a small business, networking opportunities and the isolation of working as a freelancer. All subjects I personally face and have been talking over with my fellow writers in the south-west region.

Wish us luck…
