In the UK, there are millions of Edwardian and Victorian buildings (and older!), and over time they start to fall in to disrepair, needing to be replaced by something more up to date and energy efficient. It pains me to see that so many people are either choosing to or have to opt for uPVC windows when replacing their wooden windows. I can’t think of anything worse than seeing a traditional Edwardian home with white plastic windows, it just doesn’t work!

That’s where wood windows can save the day! Long gone are the old draughty wooden windows with a single pane of glass, these days we have modern, double and triple glazing wooden windows which offer the same high levels of energy efficiency you would expect from uPVC but with the added benefit of looking complete period-correct. Beautiful!

Devon wooden window manufacturers Wood Stock Windows are a company who provide such products; windows and doors manufactured from wood to give that traditional “Olde English” look that’s so in keeping with our heritage. With wooden windowsyou can now have your home retain its period style whilst retaining all of the heat in the winter. Your windows can be designed exactly to your liking and finished with a paint that sets tops off that all important “kerb appeal”.

Wooden windows should be a serious consideration for anyone who is currently rennovating their home or is in the market for new and replacment windows.

If you ask any business owner what is the single most important aspect and the single most difficult aspect of running their business, the answer will invariably be marketing. Writing about anything is difficult, try writing about your own business and then getting that message around the world – virtually impossible for some. This is where guerilla marketing comes in with the help of I Am Beyond.

Guerilla marketing is different, it’s a bit like warfare, winning the battle by using alternative techniques that are beyond the mainstream to give you an edge. I Am Beyond are a specialist marketing agency in this area and have a range of fantastic guerrilla marketing ideas that can help you to promote your brand, product or service that are cost effective and have the maximum impact. Pop up shops are a great example of this, get a unique shop, something completely different from the rest of the high street in a temporary space from a day to a month, this really creates a buzz around your business. The impact is longer lived though because the whole point of this type of experimental marketing is that it is unique and shows potential consumers and current clients that your product offering is unique. Tactical marketing is also cost effective, this style tends to be cheaper than other forms of marketing because it is short lived but the impact for your brand is there for the longer term, try it!
