This month's newsletter focuses mostly on marketing. We take a look at GDPR and how this will affect how you market your business and give you an offer to utilise video on your website.   

In addition, there is a guest blog by Everton Rocks which looks at three simple steps to get more business online. 

And don't forget our new Q&A Sessions are coming soon. 

GDPR Fatigue
Are you sick of hearing about GDPR yet? With the deadline looming in May, people are becoming even more obsessed with everything GDPR. Whilst I am sounding a little bit flippant, GDPR really is a gamechanger so you should do everything you can to prepare now. If you missed our feature in last month's newsletter, you can catch up now. Alternatively, there's some really useful information on the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) website here. 

Are you using video to promote your practice?
Most, if not all, marketing experts will tell you that video should be an essential part of your marketing mix. If you aren't taking advantage of it yet, then have a look at a special offer we have for you. This offer is limited though, and is only available until the end of February so act now before it's too late. Don't forget, there are lots of blogs to read on the importance of using video.
