The Fifty Quid Challenge Starts Now!

Yesterday evening saw the official launch of the Towergate Accumulator Challenge, at Towergate's offices in Bury St Edmunds.

The challenge is raising funds for St Nicholas Hospice Care, also in Bury. You can read about the hospice on our website.

We were ready for the challenge: our Fifty Quid Challenge Website was already in place, our Facebook Page was set up and our Twitter account is up and running. We believe we can win this year!

We have other plans, too, including one of our increasingly popular workshops on 14 July, this time on content creation and this time for a full day. We still only ask for a minimum donation of £50 for a full day, including, we hope, all the food and drink for the day.

(Anyone who wants to sponsor some of that in return for some great publicity, please get in touch.)

Meanwhile, on the website you can get some of the cheapest advertising available anywhere for your company, or take advantage of some of the deals that are on there already. Ads cost £50 for the full period (to end Sept) for a text ad, £50 a month for 200x200 pixel ads or £50 a week for a banner.

Lots of the product offers are £50, too.

And if you think charity should just be about giving, you can do that as well, by going to our Just Giving page.

The Fifty Quid Challenge has something for everyone, and it's for a truly great cause! Join us, follow us, Like us on Facebook or just donate to the hospice via our page. People's lives will be made more bearable with every pound we raise and we might just win the competition!

NEWS RELEASE

BUSINESS OWNERS ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE IN BURY ST EDMUNDS

A select group of local business people were treated to an absorbing morning of online marketing knowhow at Cinnamon Edge’s first Challenge Workshop in Bury St Edmunds on Wednesday, in aid of St Nicholas Hospice Care.

The workshop, the first in a series planned by local marketing experts Cinnamon Edge, included priceless information on how your website can make money instead of costing you money, how to get Google to send customers straight to your door, how to totally dominate your market and how to become an ‘authority’ in your area of expertise.

Jacqui Carrel and Roy Everitt, partners at Cinnamon Edge, presented the workshop to an attentive audience, which also included representatives from Bury St Edmunds Chamber of Commerce and St Nicholas Hospice itself.

Billed as the first Challenge Workshop, it was part of the firm’s contribution to the Towergate Accumulator Challenge, through what Cinnamon Edge has dubbed ‘The Fifty Quid Challenge’.

Afterwards, attendees described the event as ‘excellent and very well presented’, ‘fantastic’ and, ‘a great training workshop’.

Roy Everitt was pleased with how it went and was especially thrilled to be able to contribute to the hospice through the Towergate Challenge.
‘We’ve been planning some workshops for local business owners for a while, and the Towergate Challenge was a great incentive to finally find the time to do it’, he said, and added, ‘We really wanted to help local businesses, but contributing to the hospice as well made it doubly worthwhile.’

Online marketing is not Jacqui and Roy’s only area of expertise but they have become known as the local specialists.

The event raised about £400 for the hospice and Cinnamon Edge are happy to accept further donations through their dedicated website www.thefiftyquidchallenge.co.uk, which will be open for the duration of the challenge and for some time afterwards.

The next workshop is planned to take place in September.
