Minute Steak Champagne Breakfast

August 25th, 2010
by Gemma Haggarty

Minute Steak would like to invite you to a Search Marketing event we are running in conjunction with the IMRG (limited places).

Following on from our recent blog discussing the new Google Trademark Policy, this session will run through how to benefit as a reseller, and prepare for the increased competition as a brand. This change increases the importance of generic sales, and we’ll consider the metrics that really matter and discuss how to increase your chances of targeting the right areas of growth first time.

The event will be held at The Hospital Club between 9-11am on 23rd September and includes three insightful presentations:

  • IMRG – Overview of online retail
  • How to grow your search activity without compromising your ROI
  • How Google’s new Trademark Policy impacts brand strategy

If you would like to attend please e-mail breakfast@minutesteak.co.uk and we look forward to seeing you there.

Introducing Competitor Monitoring & Training Days

August 24th, 2010
by Gemma Haggarty

The Minute Steak team is pleased to announce the launch of two new solutions, Competitor Monitoring and Training Days,which we hope will further enhance our consultative and insightful approach.

We know the importance of staying one step ahead of the competition and our monitoring solution enables you to not only monitor competitor changes to PPC activity, but also gain insights into market share, special offers, brand mentions and more.

The solution is a keyword research tool that provides insight and reports into the activity of competitors and affiliates as well as monitoring selected keywords and trademarks – perfect for developing online strategies. There is a monthly set-up cost and ongoing monitoring costs are based on the volume of keywords monitored. The recommended set-up monitors 10 keywords with a set-up cost of £210 and ongoing monthly cost of £250.

Our training days were developed after numerous requests from clients in search of a training day tailored to their own needs and web-site. Some had spoken to us of their frustration at trying to get sign-off for online strategies by someone who didn’t have an understanding of PPC and SEO. Others had a basic understanding but wanted to develop their own and their team’s knowledge to a more advanced level. Whether it is starting from the beginning or providing a more advanced training solution, our flexible and bespoke training days will ensure you get the maximum benefit out of the day.

We’ll keep you posted on more enhancements to the Minute Steak offering expected later this year.

The Running of the Minute Steak Bulls

July 6th, 2010
by Camilla King

This Sunday some of the team are mad enough to be representing Minute Steak & Steak in the British 10k London Run. We’ll be celebrating the event’s tenth anniversary, and enjoying/enduring one of the most iconic and historic routes through the capital.

This year the runners are supporting Friends of Young Carers. Young carers are children aged 5 to 18 who have caring responsibilities in their home. The person(s) being cared for may have a physical or mental illness, a long term health condition or a terminal illness, or have problems with alcohol or drug misuse. There are over 175 young carers registered with the Young Carers Service locally, and the following examples, outline just some of the issues they face (details amended to protect privacy) -

  • Mary, 10 years old, cares for her mum who has physical disabilities and has just learnt she has womb cancer.
  • Henry, aged 16, cares for his mum who has a crumbling spine and is in severe pain constantly. He also cares for his sister who has severe mobility issues, and his brother who has asperger syndrome.
  • Susan, aged 10, lost her mum to cancer and is now caring for her dad who is terminally ill.

Please support the running bulls of Steak this year and give generously at http://www.justgiving.com/Team-Steak and try to get down to the race and cheer on the team!
