There are only five Mondays before Christmas, so it’s vital that you make every day count before the festive break! For some of you Christmas will be an essential time for sales, for others it will be a nice rest, but which ever it is, the next month is crucial to maximise profit and productivity. In this newsletter we’ll give you tips on how to maximise productivity between now and Christmas, let you know about our last networking event this year and what we’ve been up to in the last very busy month. Enjoy!

Maximising your time between now and Christmas At last month’s Manilva networking, we gave a presentation on how to work smarter, not harder and achieve the maximum between now and Christmas and we’ve written up our top ten tips on our blog. Here are our favourites: Set clear and achievable objectives and create a plan to get there Start your marketing right away, people are already buying Christmas presents and Black Friday is just around the corner Manage your time well and don’t get sucked into the social media black hole Focus on one task at a time and stop procrastinating Ask for help if you need it – it’s better to achieve your objectives and pay for the help you need, rather than failing to meet your targets Best of luck!

A whirlwind month! It’s been a very busy month for the Shaw Marketing Services team, both in and out of the office. We have created a fantastic Marbella guide for holiday rental company Vacation Marbella, a mammoth task which saw us writing over 44,000 words. We’ve started working with luxury skincare brand Vestige Verdant promoting their new Spanish website using both traditional PR and Social Media Outreach via bloggers and influencers. We are continuing to promote Specsavers Opticas’ charity campaign, which is running until the end of the year, and is raising money for deaf blind people through their comprehensive eye tests. We have also been welcoming journalists to the Kempinski Hotel Bahia, positioning the hotel and Estepona in general as a great family destination, as well as announcing the appointment of Francisco Sa Teixeira as the new Director of Sales & Marketing. Outside the office we’ve been networking again, with a successful Manilva networking event, attending the British Chamber and BCMS networking event at La Sala and celebrating the 150th Marbella Now show with Nicole King and all the Marbella movers and shakers at Our Space. We’re looking forward to another busy month in the run up to Christmas. Check out or social media channels for all the latest news.
