Do you know what a squeeze page is and how you can use one to run an online competition and data capture details of potential customers for later use as a mailing list. Well nor did I till recently lol. Now I have a competition live on my Facebook page and have received more than 100 new page likes in three days. What a great investment being a member business of Best of Eastbourne. Always something new to learn from David and other members.

We have been a member of the 'Best of' for a while now and have found it to be the best advertising measure we have used to date! Our on line presence has been greatly improved and through the fantastic group meetings, we have blossomed new ideas to grow our business further! Thank you David for all your hard work and dedication to us.

David is an invaluable hive of information and advice on all our marketing needs! Night or day he is there on hand to help. I have not been hugely active on social media but this is becoming less alien to our business now with his guidance. Thank you David!

I would like to take a moment to thank David Ruddle and Bestof Eastbourne for all his help and support in 2015 with us at cineworld Eastbourne.

Additionally, any advice or competitons I have looked at starting, communication and help have been easy to come by and I have found his input invaluable.

The Best of Eastbourne gives people an opportunity not only to meet local people who share each other's passions and interests, but also to appreciate the place where they live, to support the best of the local initiatives and to create an inspiring and stimulating environment for community development. David Ruddle, who leads the company, is dedicated to what he does and shows wonderful support to every worthy initiative in the area. Thank you!

Thank you John, it had been great helping Cineworld with their local competitions and generally what's going on at the Cinema.
As a company we wanted a reliable & affordable business to assist us with our marketing requirements. That was the point The Best Of Eastbourne & David Ruddle's name was mentioned not by one but a few local businesses as the man for the job. David has helped us no end in promoting our company giving us tips and skills to help with our marketing plans and is always on the end of the phone should you need his advice. Needless to say we are now another company that would thoroughly recommend David to your business, you won't regret it.

You are welcome Suzie, if you ever need anything hopefully thebestof Eastbourne will have the answer :)
I've been going to the TweetUp since summer 2014 and have found each and every event to be friendly, informative and fun. I've made some great contacts and always find it a worthwhile use of my time. I heartily recommend you come along, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks Gill, the fact you network so much and recommend us is great :)
Eastbourne Tweetup has been great for furniture Now over the past year that I have been working with David. We have made some very valuable contacts in a relaxed and friendly environment. I personally look forward to going along knowing that it is a more informal session after a long day in the office. I have now even made friends with a few of the regulars to which is always a bonus. If you haven't been along to a TweetUp yet do it as soon as you can and I guarantee you wont regret it.

Be good to see you more often but I know how busy you are.
I have been involved with the business interests & marketing of 'The Afton Hotel' until recently. In that time, the hotel has greatly benefitted from being a member of 'thebestofeastbourne' & came to regard it as a necessary part of its business life. Any type of business which wants to make the most of itself in its local community should be involved with this dynamic & informative organisation. It's run in Eastbourne by the very personable & efficient David Ruddle. David is not only able to understand the specific needs of his clients but can enthusiastically translate these needs into positive strategies in a friendly & supportive way which produces positive results. I would strongly recommend that to get the best of Eastbourne, one should join 'thebestofeastbourne'. Cathy Giorgi, July 2015.

I am so pleased to have found the Afton Hotel contacted me about membership when thebestof Eastbourne was still in its early days maybe only a few months old! Marco and Cathy could see the potential of working with thebestof Eastbourne and it have been a brilliant and supportive venue with such flexibility to accommodate our early events of 5 or 10 people to our BIG events holding between 50 - 80 attendees ALL FREE to attend for Eastbourne! Good luck to you Cathy (and Marco) Eastbourne misses you but wishes you well.
The most superb meeting today with David today. Really helped me to focus my marketing so that I am working smart not hard.! Thanks so much for your help and support and encouragement! Excellent service

Thank you Rachel, today was a real "get focused" session Something I love about my role in thebestof Eastbourne is helping great business owners like you step back and review the big picture. Helping you focus your marketing on your goals.
David organised a fantastic Buy Local Expo this week. Everything was meticulously considered and organised well. Sadly David could not control the foul weather, but the event was a success nonetheless. The businesses and visitors that attended were a testament to his efforts, and I have heard loads of people say they want the event back next year. Good Job!

Thank you Mina, it was a great event all things considered and with any luck the next one will have weather to suit!
I can highly recommend David Ruddle and the Best of Eastbourne. He is a very kind, clever and approachable man with a real passion for our local community and I am looking forward to working with him further. Thank you so much for all your help today and for your big heart in not charging us. Warm regards from all of us at Embrace East Sussex.

It is a pleasure to help, I hope your request for support on your Aviva bid will pay off. There is no cost to charities, community groups or sports teams as I want to support people just like you doing amazing things locally without there being a cost burden to you. I receive no government funding at all. Without the memberships we have from local businesses we help with their marketing I would not be able to support anything the way I do.
David is always there, night or day to offer advice, and his level of enthusiasm is infinite for your business needs! I have been attending his marketing meetings and have found them to be hugely helpful in areas I am less confident, as well as providing me with (very much needed) social media skills, and hints and tips to help it to work more productively for our company. Thank you David :)
