A Thank You from CWA Europe, a Google Certified Company who have Won Company of the Year 2009

The team at CWA Europe, who manage the Pay per Click advertising (Google Adwords) and some SEO for Cover4Commercial, want to thank Richard, Nick & Barry and all the Cover4 team for the important support since setting up our business in 2007.

Cover4Commercial were one of our original clients from the outset of our business and without them, and a selection of other valuable and loyal clients, CWA Europe would not have progressed to the stage of accepting this award on October 15th in Marbella.

We truly feel that our working relationship with Cover4Commercial has contributed to how we have grown as a business.  We have had many excellent brainstorming sessions with plenty of honest input and great ideas, in a way that is special to have with a client.

From our professional relationship with Cover4Commercial it is obvious to us how they operate as a company, and how they truly care about both their customers and their team.  As we operate in the same way there is a natural synergy here.

The prize that we have been awarded is the Company of the Year in the Costa del Sol Business Awards.  This is a competition which has been set up to recognise and help further integrate foreign companies here on the Costa del Sol.  There is a lot of support for us here, as they believe in nurturing foreign talent.

On a similar vein, we hope to continue to grow our working relationship and nurture the ongoing potential growth of Cover4Commercial for a long time to come.  It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with an old fashioned company in the sense of values which has excellent innovative and modern ideas and technology.

A little more about CWA Europe:

CWA Europe was awarded the trophy in recognition of their excellent performance especially during these challenging economic times.  Their team includes Spanish, Irish, Portuguese and German natives working with an innovative approach in the area of International Search Marketing.  Additionally they design custom-built e-commerce websites which are finely tuned to anticipate customer needs, therefore increasing sales while at the same time being ahead of the SEO game.

Considered one of the most prestigious trophies, this annual competition was set up by the government of Andalusia and the Chamber of Commerce of Malaga to encourage excellent, innovative foreign run companies.  The Costa del Sol Business Awards is open to companies of all sizes, with the entry requirements being to be a foreign business person, based in Andalusia with up to date tax and social security data.

In business since 2007, CWA quickly achieved the status of being a Google Adwords Certified Company, which entails managing a substantial amount of client revenue and having a minimum of two people pass the difficult exam.  On a day to day basis this means that CWA Europe now have a dedicated team of three based in the Google European Headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.  For their clients this results in quick feedback and resolutions to any issues which may occur.

CWA Europe are currently developing their own software where all client advertising campaigns for the three main search engines, Google, MSN Bing and Yahoo, can be managed and evaluated on the same platform.  This is one of their innovations which contributed to their winning this award and each client will be given their own login details.

From a British or Irish clients’ point of view they are strategically placed in a location where costs are cheaper and there is a wealth of multi-lingual talent. For languages that they do not have in-house they have a team available which are outsourced which works out economically for their clients.

CWA Europe’s SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) department takes a creative results driven approach to their SEO campaign plans.  The CWA customised CMS (content management system) is also used for clients who wish to move onto a very SEO friendly platform while expanding out profitable SEO keywords which are integrated into sEO friendly urls.

In order to give back to the community and also help educate a little, CWA Europe launched the first “Conquering the Web” competition in June 209.  The value of the prize is estimated at around €15,000 and includes a customised, multi-lingual e-commerce website, supported by 3 months of online advertising in 3 languages, plus a Voice-Over internet provider international telephone system, in partnership with Telcom BS.  The prize also includes legal consultations with Aselex Technology who specialise in legal assistance for online businesses.

Throughout all of their work there are underlying themes of passion, exceptional skills, excellent results and treating each client’s business as carefully as if it were their own.  These are some of the reasons that this International Search Marketing Agency, CWA Europe, won the Company of the Year 2009, at the Costa del Sol Business Awards.

How do these subjects all go together? Well they do now but as a new season ticket holder at Southend I find myself taking my eldest to the home game tomorrow, he is very excited and it is only the second game he has been to as the other home games, barr one, have taken place on a Friday evening. When the club changes games to a Friday I wonder if it gives any thought at all that some of the supporters have children which cannot attend in the evening and perhaps some of us adults who have busy weeks prefer the games to be on Saturdays rather than Fridays – I will never know the answer I suppose!

That brings me onto my beloved Watford – funny how since I have relocated and become a season ticket holder at Southend that despite selling all their players they are having a good start to the season – typical! Bitter though I am not.

Well despite it being October we are still seeing some good conversions on our Caravan Insurance schemes although it is slowly beginning to drop off now.

Next week see’s one of those weeks from hell arrive, I find myself leaving the office at about 1pm Monday not to return for a week. The week finds me Strategic Planning with the Company’s Board and then attending a School Governors training event to jetting off to sunny Belfast to finally return home on the Friday – needless to say I am skating on thin ice with the clan!

All it leaves me to say is have a good weekend.

Dear All

I hope everyone is enjoying the weather at present, lets be honest we knew it was coming! I took my fiancee out for a very nice Italian on Saturday night for our anniversary whilst my mother was babysitting, it’s nice to get out for an evening occasionally.

Well the Touring Caravan season is over and enquiry levels are dropping, but our Static Caravan conversions have been excellent so far. We are very happy with our Static Schemes with our 2 leading providers and their policy cover, though as ever if you have any suggestions or comments please email them to me at michaels@alanblunden.co.uk as they will be greatly received as ever.

 Myself and Sophie have had a review of the year and are putting into place new ideas so that next year will be even better and that you reap the rewards and that our team remain as highly motivated as ever!

Well tonight will be a quiet night in watching the footie (my fiancee does not know this yet but she will!) so may have to get a takeaway to compensate her! I was also out on business last night to make things worse and I got lost in London, despite the fact that I worked there for a year.

Oh well I’m going to lunch

Happy touring

Mike

As the 2009 Caravan Season comes to a close we are launching our new Blog Category where we will be encouraging our Cover4Caravan Community to tell us all about their favourite caravan sites, holiday destinations, worst sites, holiday tips and we will also be asking you to upload pictures.

We will be running competitions and great prizes will be on offer.

More details will follow shortly.

Dear All

Have you thought whether your touring caravan needs a TV licence? It is after all one of the last things you want to think about after the expense of purchasing your pride and joy but like all of the small things in life, it is better to know than be caught out and paying the penalty!. Cover4Caravans’ own “Roger Cook”  Sophie Morris has provided an investigative  look into this  as we too were a bit unsure and has found out that if your touring caravan or motorhome is being moved from place to place then as long as you have a valid licence at home (or your main address so to speak) then this is sufficent, you do not need a separate licence! This makes things a lot easier but please don’t keep your TV licence in your touring caravan as keeping documents in your touring caravan is not a good idea.

Hopefully that clears that up!
