New HGC HQ

Hey Everyone,

About a month ago we relocated into a new office and now think it is time to show the world! We’ve uploaded a few quick snaps of our new home.

If you like what you see, why not get out of the mean, harsh and unforgiving London weather and pop in for a cuppa!? We are situated in the 1st Floor Studio, 77 Weston Street, London Bridge, SE1 3RS. Once we discuss your marketing design requirements, we’ll be happy to beat you at table football!

Keep an eye out on our blog over the next few months for pictures as the studio continues to get kitted out with new gear!

Bye for now,
The Higher Ground Team

Tips for an Effective Email Campaign

Have you tried an HTML email marketing campaign? Fun, engaging and informative; HTML emails can be a great way to increase sales.

Here are Higher Ground London’s top html email tips:
- provide numerous communication points to drive customers to your products or services – use carefully selected text and images to effectively target your customer base
- position the most important text at the top of the email to increase message exposure via preview boxes
- use Higher Ground’s experience to build HTML emails which are compatible with the latest and most popular email software and webmail applications including BlackBerry’s and iPhones
- ensure files are not blocked by spam filters – use our online application so you can run campaigns internally, using your client database
- use as a supportive marketing tool or even as a campaign of its own
- ensure that you monitor and track the success of the emails (how many people click on which links within the email etc), so you can constantly evolve and improve their effectiveness.
