Who Are We and Why Trust the
'Trusty Phone Box'?
We are a small, local, family-run business based in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, and like you, we want to promote our business within our catchment area. We want to build our brand and regularly get our name and logo in front of as many potential customers as possible.
However, apart from the limited, expensive online marketing tools available, there is hardly anything available regarding traditional, offline marketing that offers real value for money. There are a couple of publications, but they don’t cover the areas we want, and we can’t always afford them, as they can cost hundreds of pounds per month to advertise in.
So, we decided to do something about it ourselves. With a marketing and design & print background, we have put together our very own local marketing product that will not only work for us, but for other small local businesses like us. So we have an invested interest in making this successful, in fact, we plan on producing many of these covering many communities making us the 'go-to business' of our category in each community we cover.
We do hope you and many other small local businesses join us.
Supporting our local community and its businesses.
Small local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities, and we have always tried to support our community and our local businesses wherever we can.
With the uncertainty the future holds for small local businesses, hindered by the effects of Brexit and COVID-19, the attitudes and behaviour of the markets, geo-political tensions, the economic downturn, the price crisis, and now, with changes in government and legislation, the future can look bleak at times. We could all do with some help and support from others in the same boat, sharing the attitudes and a determined spirit of the small local businesses from time to time.
As a small local business, we know exactly what it feels like. That's why we want to help bring local businesses together to support each other. We believe the TrustyPhoneBox, can play a small part in helping small local businesses come together and support each other.
Because if we don't, no one else will.
'The King and McD'
Just like McDonald's & Burger King, but on a much smaller scale.
We are using traditional and proven marketing methods that have worked for years and years and still work just as well today. In fact, since Covid, printed marketing has been back on the rise and is seen as a more trusted marketing tool than many online avenues.
Customers want to know that you are not a short-term fly-by-night business and you are trusted and reliable before they buy from you or use your service.
To build trust, potential customers must be exposed to your business/brand/product/service multiple times before they start to trust and buy from you. So, it is paramount that you let everyone know by getting your business brand in front of them in many different forms of marketing. Our magnetic printed Phone Box directories provide the perfect way to show your business in a more legitimate light.
Everyone young and old, from large families to single occupancies will see your brand, and subconsciously, they will remember you when they need a business or service like yours.
When they want a burger, they will think of either a Big Mac or Burger King, but when they want a service or product that you offer, you want them to think of you.
'P&O'
Yes, it is so important for businesses to be online. There are so many opportunities for businesses to be found when having an online presence. However, there are so many other businesses promoting themselves online too, making it confusing for the customer to decide.
Some are even untrustworthy and not a true business, lurching and waiting for unexpecting customers to fall into their schemes.
Print is more expensive today and many small businesses don't want to invest in marketing that costs a lot. However, businesses that invest in print marketing provide a sense of longevity and show that they plan on being around for a very long time, meaning they are trustworthy and can be found locally. All marketing should be a combination of Print and Online: P&O.
