It is very important that you move with the times otherwise you will get left behind. 

Back in the 80’s and 90’s the number one place to advertise was the ‘Yellow Pages’. If you had a decent size advert and could be by a telephone all day then there was every chance customers would get in touch with you.

However, from the noughties onwards the way companies promote themselves has drastically changed. These days it is imperative that you have a very good website, without this no one will see you. Then, you must promote your website through all the Social Medias. With this in mind I have joined up with Facebook and Twitter.

I will do my upmost through these mediums to let everyone know that we will continue as we always have tried to do, to give one hundred percent to every function we provide a Disco or Karaoke for. With my posts on Facebook and with my Tweets on Twitter I hope to show that all my years of experience will give customers peace of mind to know that their special day is in very capable hands. 

As a company I like to think we have always offered a very fair and competitive price and when you get in touch I will continue to offer this whether its Disco or Karaoke or a Children’s Disco, a Birthday or a Wedding (in fact any type of celebration you can think of!)

A very happy and prosperous New Year to everyone.
