A show in the hills

Featured in these fabulous photos from The Three Counties Show at Great Malvern  last weekend are a parachute jumper sailing across the lovely hills and a brave motor cyclist jumping through a ring of fire.

Purple Holly attended this prestigious country fair on 14th - 16th June where we had a gift stall in the art, crafts and gifts marquee with Eden Crafts.  This gave us a wonderful opportunity to showcase a selection of our lovely new home gifts, meet new customers and gain feedback.  Everyone really loved our Rocking whiskey glasses available on our website for £3.50 per glass/£18 for a set of six glasses.   Also popular where our VW Camper Van mugs and Geisha Girl salt & pepper shakers, available from £5 at purpleholly.co.uk

How To Convince People to Buy You From online

This is the question posed by Barney Grossman at The Business Show 2013 - a brilliant free seminar I attended yesterday for business start up companies at the Excel Centre.    Barney as an interesting background as a Wedding DJ and his top tips for website businesses are:-


  • Keep it simple and clean
  • Less is more
  • Make life easy for customer with buttons
  • Each product - define how your customer will benefit from buying

Barney's best tip was do the Squint test on your website page.  If you squint your eyes and nothing sticks out on your page that makes you want to click it, chances are you need to change i.e. put on a 20% off sticker in bold pink or have a great photo or slogan that really sticks out.  

Here's the links for the Business Show and Barney Grossman.
