Great Days Out is getting Greater - Update

This is just another quick update regarding what we have been doing on the Great Days Out directory!

We have been continually creating new topic pages on our directory. It is ongoing work and does take time, but we can let you know that we have set up the following topics :

• http://www.great-days-out.co.uk/parks-gardens/
• http://www.great-days-out.co.uk/transport-trips-tours/
• http://www.great-days-out.co.uk/adventure-activities/
• http://www.great-days-out.co.uk/water-activities/
• http://www.great-days-out.co.uk/sport-leisure/
• http://www.great-days-out.co.uk/arts-and-crafts/

This means that there will be 12 Topic webpages which will cover the 12 Regions of the UK! 

These latest URL's are still in the incubation period but will be unleashed on the unsuspecting Internet world very soon! Our hope is that we will see an increase in visitors to the directory as well as increasing our Google rating. This will also give existing clients the opportunity to have more advertising links on the website. All in all, a benefit to all concerned!

Below is a snapshot of the new #Arts and #Crafts webpage.

Great Days Out is getting greater

As promised form our previous blog, we have been continuing creating more webpages and content and wanted to let you all know what has been happening! We stated that we had just launched Animal and Wildlife Parks in the beginning of the month, well we have launched several other topics since then!

May we introduce the new editions, Family Attractions, Historic Houses and Castles, Museums and Galleries, Outdoor Activities, and Play Centres. This has been an exciting development as it will increase the number of webpages on our directory and give us scope to deliver an even better service to our existing and new customers! There will be even more topics arriving on the directory. We will keep you all posted as these developments take place.

Below is a snapshot of the Historic Houses and Castles webpage. More to follow...

Exciting News from Great Days Out and other stuff

Over the last couple of weeks the brains behind Great Days Out have been busy looking at ways to improve the use-ability of the directory. It was felt that we needed more content but also more webpages.

You will be seeing some changes on the website, where we will be launching various topics on the directory. This will give visitors a more robust experience. We have already set up 'Animals and Wildlife Parks' and from there, we will be rolling out more topics - from 'Great Outdoors' to 'Historic Buildings'! It's quite exciting to see the website expand in size and content.

A few months ago we mentioned about changes to our Quoakle website too. Due to the size of the website, this will be taking a lot longer then expected. Added to this, Tim Coysh had started a new job in the beginning of the summer, so delays were inevitable. Regardless we will try to keep you all up-to-date on all of our latest news.

Finally, it looks like Tim Davis won't be going to Australia until April of next year. Fortunately for us, he will be around until then which we are truly grateful for! His assistance in these various projects have been invaluable. He will be missed when he goes to Oz.

See some of the new icons for our Great Days Out directory below...

Australia beckons for Tim

On September 16th (in little under a months time) Tim Davis of TCD Web Design, will be flying out to Sydney Australia to attend a YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Sports DTS (Discipleship Training School).

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups, and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. Also known as YWAM, we unite in a common purpose to know God and to make Him known.

He has set up a blog with more info on the DTS. Here it is:

He currently still needs to raise money to get him to Australia and to take part in the lecture phase of the DTS, so here are a few links to ways that you can support him:

Tim will be gone for about 6 months, so we will miss his input and his skill sets! We wish him a safe journey and that he will have a great time down under!

Client Creation Mastermind

Well an end of era had taken place on the 29th of July! Myself and a few others from the Forest of Dean area had been attending Charlotte Greenman's Client Creation Mastermind course on a fortnightly basis since April of this year. For all that were in attendance, it has been an excellent course!

We have appreciated Charlotte's insight and her easy approach in sharing her vast wealth of knowledge and we are grateful for her input. In every session something new was learnt!

Here is an excerpt from her website Accredited Marketing which sums it all up :

We show business owners and sales professionals How to Generate Hot Leads and Easily Convert Them into Clients for Life to Ensure Repeat Business.  We also help businesses convert more telephone conversations into qualified appointments, sales and loyal clients.

We wish her every success for the future! We could not recommend her highly enough!

Below are a couple of photos of our last day of training!

The Summer has arrived!

Yes, the sun is out this week and just in time for the schools to close for the summer holidays! This is one of the nicest times of the year, where people are out and about enjoying the sunshine and relaxing. Of course, with this season, a lot of planning may need to be done to keep the kids occupied and entertained.

We at Great Days Out can offer families up and down the UK a great resource to help solve the issues to the question, 'What are we going to do this summer?'. The question should really be, 'Where do you want to go this summer?'

Visit our website and you will see just what the UK has to offer! Enjoy the warm weather (while it lasts!!) and don't forget the sun cream.
