Infoserve's Parntership with Martin House

Morgan Waterworth • November 10, 2022

We are delighted to announce our partnership with Martin House!

For those of you who don’t know, Martin House is a family-led hospice providing care and support to children with life-limiting illnesses.

The hospice, in Boston Spa, Leeds, has the facilities to care for nine children at a time, each of which has their own bedroom which allows parents to stay overnight with their child.

In addition to the hospice, Martin House offers support to the community for children and their families from the comfort of their own homes.

The areas Martin House covers are:

North Yorkshire
West Yorkshire
East Yorkshire

Martin House does unbelievable work when families and children are in need of care and support but being a charity, they need support in return.

As part of our partnership with Martin House, we have been fundraising in various ways to support the Yorkshire-based charity.

In August we had a ‘fun day’ at our Leeds headquarters where members of the Infoserve team baked cakes, played an incredibly tense game of giant Jenga and agonised over what should have been a relatively easy quiz.

We then decided it would be fitting to burn off all the cake and hike up Whernside, Yorkshire's highest peak. With an unfit (but enthusiastic) team of 9, we laced up our boots and climbed the peak on what turned out to be a beautiful September day.

If you would like to support this amazing charity within your business, why not try one of the following activities to get you started:

Office bake sale
Give employees the opportunity to volunteer for a day
Sponsored walk/outdoor activity
Pledge to give up something for a year
Encourage colleagues to bring in unwanted items to donate to the shops

With 13 shops scattered around the Yorkshire region, you can support Martin House by donating unwanted items you no longer need. Alternatively, you might pick up a bargain yourself. You can also visit their eBay shop where you can find designer wear, vintage products, book bundles, and children’s toys.

Do you want to have a go at SEO (search engine optimisation), but keep getting lost amongst all the jargon and technical terms? You’re not alone. SEO consists of advice and tips that have grown, changed, and advanced for years, and even the most experienced marketers started where you are: by looking at this information and wondering where to start.

Are USPs (Unique Selling Points) an Outdated Concept?

By Francesca Taylor • September 12, 2024

When we discuss web design or copywriting with a client, one of the questions Infoserve will always ask is: ‘what are your USPs?’ However, we have noticed that there has been some discourse online regarding the relevance of USPs in modern marketing, and whether they really hold as much value in 2024. With an overload of marketing messages and customers bombarded by choices online, some argue that USPs are no longer effective in grabbing attention. But, when standing out against your competitors has become even more of a challenge, can we really afford to let them go?

How to Create a Contact Page that Converts

By Francesca Taylor • August 27, 2024

Contact pages are often overlooked by business owners and, at Infoserve , we believe the reason for this is because they seem like the least exciting page on a website. Many people think that all it takes to create a solid contact page is to add your contact details, a form to fill, and a little bit of text encouraging your customers to get in touch. And, sure, these features are essential. But there’s so much more to it than that.

E-Commerce in Summer: How to Convert Outside of the Fourth Quarter

By Francesca Taylor • August 15, 2024

The preconception that businesses only make profit in the fourth quarter is a common trap that many new e-commerce companies fall into. It is true that many shops, particularly bricks and mortar shops, will make the bulk of their annual profit in the final months of the year due to the Christmas shopping rush, but this doesn’t mean that it is impossible for profit to be made during the rest of the year. This is for many reasons including the fact that Christmas is only celebrated within certain cultures, and the need for products doesn’t suddenly stop once January comes around. So, how do you ensure you’re reaching your customers outside of this peak selling period? Let’s take a look.
