I have now spent 6 days with the Therapy Agency learning not only about aspects of marketing and PR but also about the organisation of the business itself. I have learnt about how blogs not only increase the detection of a business online, but also inform customers of the development and recent news about the company. I have also undertaken some market research on the use of occupational

You may now have seen the multicoloured triangular shaped thing on many of our website pages at the moment. This is part of a new free application for your mobile, called Microsoft TAG. The idea being, you download and install the free application via your mobile, from http://gettag.mobi Then on opening the application on your phone, hold up your digital camera to the tag, and it will

Today I have been contacting some of the top 100 companies to work for to allow me to send them a market research questionnaire about there use of massage therapies within the workplace. The answers given will be able to show us whether massage therapies within the workplace has helped towards them gaining the award. Next week I plan to contact more companies to send out more questionnaires.

Today I have begun some market research about how to improve the work environment within the 'Top 100 companies to work for'. The recent awards given by the Times newspaper, shows the best companies to work for within the UK in 2010. By contacting these companies we will be researching whether these companies have gained this award by providing complimentary therapy for their employees. If

Today I spent my time at the Therapy Agency updating the website by adding logos and links to show some of the clients the Therapy Agency has worked with. It was very interesting learning about how websites are made and updated, as I didn't know that much about it. I learnt how to use Fireworks to re-size images and how to create links to different web pages. I was amazed by all the different

As you may have seen on our website, the Therapy Agency has become involved in the Enterprise Experience, run by the University of Reading. I have been given the opportunity to gain work experience with them as a PR/marketing assistant, to support The Therapy Agency’s on-going development, as well as develop relationships with its clients. Today is my first day, apprehensive but keen to

I was following up on a previous enquiry to Guinness World Records this evening, in relation to setting a world record for the longest massage treatment or series of consecutive massage treatments. Since not long after starting to provide professional massage therapies in 1996, I've often provided massage treatments in excess of 5 hours on a single person. Similarly, at the various events I've

We've been noticing a significant number of visitors coming through to our website on mystery shopping, from a website called ukmysteryshopperjobs.com (calling themselves 'UK Mystery Shopper Employment Agency'). However, we'd never heard of them prior to the visitors coming through, and have never been contacted by them, nor requested our details be listed with them. As far as we understand it,

In addition to our list of therapists, we've now been able to integrate GoogleMap's graphical representation of the location of our currently 'active' therapists. This allows users to browse a general map of the UK, zoom into their preferred area, view the approximate location of their nearest therapists, and then follow the link to book that therapist directly through the Therapy Agency website

For the last few years now, the Therapy Agency has been a keen supporter of the Reading University Entrepreneurship modules and their work experience schemes.  As a result, we've taken on a significant number of University students over the years, to help support the work of the Therapy Agency, and also support some keen students into their learning of 'real' work placements. Once again, we

In the temporary absence of our multi-thousand pound database driven, interactive booking and database system, I'm pleased to say that we now have a temporary solution online, which lists each of our current 'active' therapists, along with their location, treatments, and the option to 'book now'. These include the following locations: St Albans, Hertfordshire, Theodoros (ID 0310) offering
