Site Update 31/12/2013

Welcome to the final update of 2013, a year which for myself started out very quietly but became really busy in the final couple of months due to the launch of the Monarch Music & Media venture!

Personally it has been a real roller coaster of a year, losing several good friends way before their time has been difficult and indeed forces one to rethink their outlook on life in many ways, perhaps persuading us in some cases to take more chances and opportunities if and when they come our way. On the positive side I have been very much impressed with the coverage the website has enjoyed in its first 6 weeks or so, having only a minimal budget for advertising and marketing available it was always a concern but social media such as Facebook and Twitter seemed to have worked well.

The Facebook advertising in particular has proved to be the highlight of the last couple of weeks, reaching more new visitors than ever before and across several countries, this had started off rather slowly but now seems to be gathering momentum nicely. Also the Amazon aStore pages have been showing an increased interest of late, I guess not too surprising with it being the holiday period but still nice to see.

Looking ahead to the New Year I hope to further improve the range and choice of music and media items for sale on the website and hopefully if time permits I would like to add more content to the DJing side of Monarch Music & Media with maybe some more mixes and/or production products added to Mixcloud and SoundCloud respectively...

It just now remains for me to wish you all a Happy New Year and a healthy and prosperous 2014, if you're out partying have a great night!

Site Update 14/12/2013

Welcome to the latest update which I guess is unofficially becoming a weekly update at the moment but the plan really is to add these when there is new news, content and site updates and not just because a certain time limit might be reached etc.

I've been concentrating mainly on the advertising and marketing side of things during the last week, looking into places I can promote the site with some real diversity ranging from the more obvious music and social media forums and sites to the more obscure ones such as virtual worlds. I also took a closer look at Facebook advertising which is probably going to take a deal of experimentation and some degree of trial and error as you can set various parameters when creating the adverts to produce some very different results each time.

Having found the eBay live RSS feeds to be useful in that they provide constantly updated information with links to live auctions I have increased their presence on the website with the intention of focussing on specific genres to make them as relevant as possible to what the customer is searching for.

That's all for this time, once again thanks to everyone for reading and I hope you are all well!
