Take a look at our Pigg’s Playbarn promo film

Every Thursday, 26 Feb to 26 March

My new year’s resolutions never go according to plan, but my marketing ideas for 2015 are going ahead steadily. Rather than listing them all here & not being able to bring them all to fruition, I’d rather tell you about them as they happen. Alongside the usual regular marketing tasks, I’ve been placing online digital adverts instead of hard copy, ‘paper’ ones, plus compiling slideshows, summarising what’s on in a particular month or department. They’ll be shown on the in-store TVs & across our Social Media platforms. In the meantime, AgWa Media have created our latest Pigg’s Playbarn promotion film. Click HERE to take a peek. There will be more films to follow, for each of the Apley Farm Shop businesses.Whilst on the Pigg’s Playbarn topic, I must add that happily, more & more children are joining in our Thursday after-school clubs. Annabel, our Playbarn manager, told me “We have regular children who enjoy coming to the Playbarn’s afterschool clubs, allowing them to learn something new, get messy, have fun & also encourages children’s independence”. The last children’s Cookery Club is this week on Thursday 12 February, learning to make pancakes, just in time for Shrove Tuesday on 17 February. It’s excellent value at £3.50 per child, which includes all the ingredients, the equipment & a 30 mins play afterwards in the Playbarn.

Nicky, who also works in the Playbarn, came up with the next club idea – Science. So after February half term, our children’s Science Club will begin, making learning & experimenting fun.  It’ll run from 26 February to 26 March. It’s worth booking your child’s place now, as if you book for all weeks, you get one week free !
