I LOVE Bright Cat Business Solutions. Jo & Ben are friendly, approachable, efficient and incredible at what they do.
They listened to my challenges, offered direct solutions that aligned with my needs and made it happen practically overnight. There was zero uncomfortable upselling of products I didn’t need yet, which is the first time I’ve ever spoken with a company in this industry and experienced such.
Bespoke support to meet my needs, zero fuss, zero complications, 100% happy customer!
Jo has been managing my LinkedIn and YouTube for several months.
Both have never looked better – and I’m seeing more traffic and more engagement.
Jo generated some “purr”fect graphics for the sponsors and exhibitors at my Focus Guru Expo last year and herself and Ben also generated and managed my email marketing campaign for the Expo with such attention to detail and flare that as soon as I can afford to I will be using them for all my emails! If you hosting an Expo I strongly recommend a chat with and using Bright Cat Business Solutions for graphics and emails.
Bright Cat made me a Wedding Planner.
I shared the wedding planner with a group im with that are all in the wedding industry… they absolutely love it and they were very complimentary around the design of it so hats off to you…
You made me look amazing, thank you again
I recently had a 2 hour social media strategy and planning session with Jo. For a long time I’ve felt overwhelmed and not clear on how to utilise my social media accounts, or even what to post. After this session with Jo, I have such a clear picture of what to do and when – no more overwhelm!
Thank you Jo – your advice, guidance and time has been greatly appreciated, and worth every penny!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I have worked with Jo & Ben at Bright Cat for a while now. They are my ‘go to’ when I need great visuals for my social marketing. They’ve created social media post templates for me, as well as an eye catching infographic about the talks I give to small business owners. Most recently they have created a bespoke animated infographic for a blog post – going the extra mile to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others – and I often do!
While Canva is designed to be user friendly, learning the intricacies of the software is not intuitive and it can be difficult to find the information that will help your designs really stand out.
Marketing is such a huge topic that it’s difficult to know where to start and work out what you should be doing first – often giving the impression that you need to be doing all of it, NOW.
Learning new software can be a daunting task, often users are afraid they may do something wrong or break it, often needing someone else to go in a press all the buttons to reassure them that won’t happen- and also guide them through the process.
We all learn at different speeds and in different ways, often software or processes don’t come across as accessible which means many wont even try to learn something that could transform their business.

Training
Had a wonderful and very informative Canva workshop for my members, would highly recommend
Attended a webinar on Email Marketing. It was really useful, to the point and well structured. Jo clearly has loads of knowledge and Ben is really creative with a great eye for detail. Would recommend.
I’ve attended a webinar on landing pages and email marketing which was full of useful information and so I know have a better idea of how to use both effectively not only for the charity but also for my own business too!
I heard Ben speak at a business event and event recently, he went through the various different aspect of Canva and highlighted some technique I never knew existed. Ben really does know his onions when it comes to marketing.
Ben gave a presentation about Canva and it’s different tools and functions. I’ve been using Canva for some time so knew a lot, however I learned a few new tips and tricks that I’ll be making use of. Ben came across as confident, knowledgeable, and experienced. I recommend anyone who wants to transform their social media graphics to have a chat with Ben.

Keeping A Community Engaged
When I had the idea to run a community group and agreed what we would do with Stacey I knew one important factor on making it work would be keeping the community engaged.
I am also lucky in the fact that the members are really willing to engage!
I am a believer that all social media content needs some form of structure to work from, so today I thought I’d go through what I did and my reasoning behind it.
The Race to 100
If you’ve been following my socials, emails or my last blog, you know I’ve taken on a passion project. I’ve started an online community under the Business Success Network… For Disabled Entrepreneurs.
I’ve had an amazing response to this – people keep wanting to talk to me about it!
So today I thought I’d tell you about growing the community.
This was the race to 100 Members!
On disability policy and resilience. An interview with Philip Connolly.
The last two weeks have been something of a whirl wind, from an idea I had on 6th February to launching the Business Success Network for Disabled Entrepreneurs on 8th and hitting 100 members 13 days later (more on that in my next blog), I don’t think my feet have touched the floor since!
It’s been amazing the response I’ve had from people when I’ve told them that I want to create a supportive community – including from Phillip Connelly, the founder of the Disability Resilience Network
Networking for Introverts: Overcoming Shyness and Building Your Network
Some people absolutely love networking.
The anticipation of not knowing who you’re going to meet. The thrill of getting to meet new people and build new connections. The knowledge you gain from listening to other people’s business experiences. The rush you feel from explaining your business proposition to someone who is genuinely interested.
But for people who are naturally introverted, the thought of going to a networking event, or even joining an online networking session can give them butterflies in their stomach and a sense of nervousness.
Evaluating Success: How To Measure The ROI of Email Marketing
There are lots of statistics out there about the positive return on investment of email marketing. Some studies suggest that businesses can expect an ROI of up to 4400% from email activity. .
And from my perspective, there’s an element of truth to these positive reports.
From all the cross channel marketing campaigns we’ve been involved in at Bright Cat, we’ve typically seen that email marketing has the strongest ROI amongst the different channels.
But how impressive the ROI figures are really depends on how you calculate it, and the costs you take into account.
In this article, we’ll go through the basic steps for calculating your email marketing ROI to give you a picture of how your email marketing is performing.
Designing Landing Pages that Convert: Key Elements to Consider
Are you spending a lot of time and money on your online marketing?
If so, you’re likely obsessing over bids, targeting, and creative design. But how much attention are you giving to pages where your traffic lands – the very place where conversions happen?
You’re not alone if you’ve been focusing mostly on the ‘ad side.’
Yet, the effectiveness of your landing pages can make or break your marketing ROI.
