Last pre-Christmas orders and Chrissy Opening times

Right about now is always a mad time of year when we all want everything before Christmas.

Daisy is here to help! To get your Christmas deliveries on time, you can order right up to the 17th December and we’ll have it ready for dispatch on 19th December. Of course, don’t leave it till the last moment as it’s heating up!

If you miss the deadline – don’t worry! All orders received will still be processed, manufactured and dispatched all over the Christmas period in our usual time frame.

Later orders in most metro areas will still be delivered before the jolly man slides down the chimney however will depend on the efficiency of courier companies during the rush of course! Normal deliveries should resume from 5th January 2015.

A message from Daisy’s Managing Director – getting into digital

Posted on

I’d like to share some thoughts on the importance of marketing to your network and building a digital community around you.

91% of adults have their mobile phones within arms reach 24/7 and are accessing the internet through their mobiles to help with their buying decision.
It’s no wonder the trend for delivering targeted messages to the user’s mobile is continuing to grow. It’s relevant, timely and just plain clever.  Are you visible to your customers? Can your customers find you when they search you on their phone? If they are on their way to see you and can’t find you, then chances are you may miss out on their business. The old adage remains true: if you don’t look after your customer, someone else will.

Be visible, be accessible, be seen… then you will be the one looking after everyone else’s customers. Have an internet presence and make sure your customer can find you. A great way is to test it – try to be your customer and look for yourself.

Facebook is an ideal way to interact with your customers but it is not a set and forget static site –  you do have to post on it regularly to keep it relevant and fresh for your audience.

Connect with Daisy’s Facebook page… like us and share our news on your page. That’s one way to keep your content fresh – use ours!

You’ve probably noticed that over the recent years, we’ve worked hard to build our following. That’s because the more we engage our Daisy customers, the more we can point them to you. Our new website is a testament to how seriously we take the digital platform. How’s yours?

If you’re interested in learning more about how to engage with your customers online I would be happy to spend some time with you. Feel free to drop me a line any time [email protected] and Daisy’s Digital Agency Brand One is also on hand to answer any questions on [email protected]. Here to help you!

Good news for you… our hard work has paid off!
