April was a "washout" for UK retailers, with heavy rain keeping shoppers away and causing a significant drop in sales.

According to the Office for National Statistics, retail sales volumes fell by 2.3% in April.

So Google's latest algo update has decimated traffic to https://t.co/yW7WnsVcFb

Time to upgrade the website with stats from the Census 2021, more demographic data, info and insight into postcode areas, and hope to turn the tide.

This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't discovered all the future #Wordle words. I'm annoyed with myself. 🔮😭

That was a fun-and-laughter-filled Halloween weekend.

But there's something about Mondays that gets me excited for the coming week.

Are you getting your business off to a flying start today? 💪😎

Amazing what you can do with a bit of cardboard, a smoke machine, some spare iPads, and lots of gaffa tape.

This is what I love most about being a dad. 👌😍

It was the kind of email where you need to pick your jaw up from the floor.

It all started just 7 weeks ago. One morning I sat down at my desk, and opened a curious-looking email from... Buckingham Palace!

And then something amazing happened...😍

@blacks_online Hi, I have an order for sleeping bags for a collaboration between my charity and a very high-profile VIP. You sent me a text saying delivery is delayed, but no expected date. How do I talk to someone about this important order?

@charlie_crispy @chrishaycock @TheFriendMag @dawnsgeddes Thank you, @charlie_crispy & @dawnsgeddes. Without LIGHTBULB, we wouldn't have got this valuable media exposure, so we're grateful. We've already had 20 KipBags donated as a direct result of this publicity, so we're very grateful.❤️

[Chris Haycock @chrishaycock]

When you get down to basics, the only person that can make things really happen is YOU.

Don't pin your hopes on the government of the day, other people or a change in good luck.

Hard graft, determination and persistence are the only keys to unlocking your own inner superhero.

[Chris Haycock @chrishaycock]

Fantastic! Yet another 16 KipBags heading to Hull today, which has a chronic homeless problem.

Thanks to @BeckiSkingsley who is taking them, arranging some to go to local outreach group @RaiseTheRoofHull and some directly to the homeless people living rough on the streets.

My girl Lauren, age 8, just now:

#ItWas25YearsAgo that I stopped being homeless, having spent my last £1 on a toy, selling it door-to-door in London and repeating it over and over again until I got back into society again.

@bearnibbles How long does it take to receive the Collector's Kit? My girls have been waiting several months.

Can't wait to move out?

Don't move to the wrong area. Get a ZoomLocal Neighbourhood Report first.

Marketing isn't about selling things to customers. It's about being part of an open conversation between you and real people with real needs/concerns.
