This year HeadRed will be taking part in the Coventry Telegraph Business Awards 2008 under the category of “Small Business of the Year”. The award will go to the business that has increased its profitability and potential over the last financial year.

Over the last 12 months HeadRed has seen outstanding growth, not just in terms of financial returns, but also with our tangible assets. We’ve moved into spacious new premises, taken on several new members of staff and have consequently improved the level of service we can offer our clients.

The finalists for the awards will be chosen next month with the awards dinner to be held at the Ricoh Arena on the 2nd July.

Naturally, we’ll keep you posted on how we get on, but the tuxes are on standby!

Back in July we reported a new addition to the HeadRed family; SEO guru James Ray. His appointment brought a wealth of knowledge in the fields of online marketing and search engine placement.

Well, it seems it hasn’t taken long for him to weave his magic. He oversaw a comprehensive SEO audit of the Belt:Me site in August and the results speak for themselves:

• • “Custom Studded Belt” – 1st in Google*
• • “Design a Studded Belt” – 1st in Google*
• • “Personalised Studded Belt” – 1st in Google*

*as of October 1st.

James has also implemented a new optimised pay-per-click (PPC) campaign for Belt:Me and this, in combination with a much improved organic placement, has seen their online sales revenue increase considerably:

• • July – £15,721
• • Aug – £16,857
• • Sep – £20,595

So, if you’d like your company to see a similar level of success as BeltMe then please get in touch for an initial consultation. We’d be glad to help and are confident that you will see significant returns on your investment in a very short space of time.

The accolades just keep coming for Belt:Me. Not content with their “site of the week” award, nor their recent feature in the glossy girls magazine “More”, Belt:Me has taken to the airwaves.

If you tuned into Kerrang! Radio last week you might of heard our fearless leader, ‘Belt-man’ Liam, on the breakfast show with Tim Shaw and Kate Lawler.

Belt:Me was featured as part of their “Steve the Egg” campaign and we kindly donated 20 Steve the Egg belts to Kerrang! for their competition. So if you were lucky enough to win one of our belts, congratulations, and if not then you can always just buy one like everyone else!

Award winning site, BeltMe, has gained further recognition as a supplier of trendy, up-market fashion by appearing in this fortnight’s edition of popular womens glossy, More.

The feature, named “Paris loves Paris”, details Millionaire heiress and Simple Life star Paris Hilton’s obsession with any clothing or accessory with her name on it. Readers were invited to “get Paris’s look quick” and were suggested a number of ways they can get hold of their own personalised fashion items, including an advert and promo code for BeltMe.

Whilst we don’t necessarily agree with her driving methods or penchant for small dogs, she’s obviously got impeccable taste in belts. Paris, we salute you!
