Getting Noticed (and good notices)

Now we're getting into our stride we are getting a bit more organised on the online/IT side of our efforts (just as well as we're exhibiting at Internet World next week!), as opposed to me don the shed trying to make another reuse masterpiece.

So our funky system has alerted us to a distinct upward blip in the sign-ups for this month, which ain't bad going as it has only just started.

Better yet, we were able to track the origins of this increased activity, and it seems we have been kindly mentioned, and in flattering terms (as a respected re:source for re:use information, in fact a niche we have pretty much carved out to be uniquely ours), in two major consumer magazines: Woman's Own and BBC Good Food (no obvious URLs for either to repay the compliment with a URL hyperlink, but they are available from all good newsagents, I'm sure!).

What's most interesting is that we haven't been in touch with either, at least recently (the problems of running a very lean operation), so it's nice to know we're are getting picked up even without committing a fortune on PR, et, and hopefully getting known and appreciated simply by having a 'product' that does the job well.
