January is usually one of the quieter months particularly for weddings so I spend alot of time on marketing.

My biggest job has been getting all my branding up to scratch with the new logo you see above. Then I’ve had to incorporate it with my wedding website and blog as well. Not as easy as it sounds.

I’ve also updated my studio gallery with some new wall displays and a few new products which I’ll speak about another time.

Finally I’ve been trying to get my head round social networking. Gone are the days when you put an advert in a glossy magazine and waited for the phone to ring. From now on I believe social networking will have a major impact on how we find business. For this reason I’ve joined Facebook and you can see my profile here. I’ve also become a Twitterer ! Twittering is big in the US but is still relatively new here. I’m told its the next best thing since sliced bread. I’m not convinced yet but want to be ready in case it really takes off here. Twittering is basically up to the minute micro blogging. I have it set up so it is linked to my Facebook page and my blogs, saving me quite a bit of time. You can see my Twitter badge above.

Anyhow that’s enough for now, just to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2009. Below are some of my January favourites
