With the rapid growth of mobile web browsing on smart phones (already 10% of all searches) we’re pleased to announce the launch of a mobile site for Farm & Cottage Holidays. The site takes count of the fact that users browse “with purpose” when mobile and as a result we’ve focussed on sales and conversions, leaving behind some of the prettier desktop styling. Buttons are larger to reflect the way users browse – with their thumbs and content has been stripped right back.
Thanks to the site, mobile bounce rate is down, time on site is up for mobile users, and most importantly conversions from mobile phones has leapt dramatically.

Oh what a night! Bluesoup negotiated a deal with Canary Wharf magazine which saw 50 lucky readers invited to an exclusive city bar for a night of fitness & canapes…not two words usually seen together.
Revellers had the chance to win a signed GB Rowing one-piece lycra by posting the fastest time over 250m on the Concept2 indoor rower. If that wasn’t enough they had the opportunity to analyse their cycling style and see the effect of improvements before their eyes thanks to the Wattbike. And to top off the evening Mark Hunter, current Olympic Lightweight double sculler and 2011 & 2010 World champion brought his medals for all to see.
Quite an evening – and a few product sales to boot. Happy days.

We’re proud to reveal the TV ads which we’ve been working on for some time, and which went live on Boxing Day 2011. The brief was a challenging one; fun, approachable, holiday excitement and unique. We hope you’ll agree we succeeded.
The ads are running in the Bristol area, and early indications are that it’s a blinding success with bookings up disproportionally in this area. A fantastic result for us and the client…. Watch this space as there are plans for more ads later this year.

To celebrate the launch of the Woolacombe Bay Wave Rider – an amazing surf simulator – we arranged for the Heart Angels to come along and have a go.
As well as donning a wetsuit and riding the wave, the Angels brought their deckchairs and parasols, offering riders the chance to win a family holiday. The Angels were just the tip of the campaign with radio, local press, outdoor and surf magazines all playing their part. Groovy.

We are lucky enough to be able to see Lundy Island from our office windows glistening in the crystal North Devon waters and are very excited to be working with the Lundy Island Company, Natural England and partners to deliver a spanking new website to promote the unique Marine Conservation Zone that inhabits the waters around the island.
After a competitive pitch Bluesoup secured the contract by illustrating a complete website solution for the project team supported with creative clout and project management support. We look forward to getting up close and personal with the incredible marine wildlife in and around the island over the next couple of months. Well done team.

Living and working where we do we get to see a lot of cows, but it’s not everyday we get up close and personal, let alone film and photograph them. After weeks of working alongside some magnificent cud chewing milking machines at Parkham Farms we’ve designed, built and launched their new website.
Parkham Farms are the leading producers of the award winning Westcountry Cheddar and instructed Bluesoup to ‘tell their story’ via a dynamic website and of course who better to star than the black and white residents themselves. It’s been a lot of fun and we’ve tasted some delicious cheese along the way….yummy!
