Instead of just one bunny you could win a Lindt Easter Egg that comes complete with three baby Lindt bunnies! The egg is hiding somewhere in the Web Development team, but be warned, there’s even more places for it to hide today!

 

If you think you know which co-ordinates the bunny is hiding in then you can either tweet us your guess @GravytrainLtd with the hash tag #GravytrainBunnyHunt, or visit our Facebook page and comment on the photo of our office. You better be quick though because if the bunny isn’t found by 4:30pm we’ll start hunting for it ourselves!

 

Good luck everyone and thank you all for playing the Gravytrain Bunny Hunt! Happy Easter!

Integrating a Magento site with Ebay can be a great way to drive customers to your site and increase revenue as Magento is a community driven platform and anyone can build plugins for it. M2ePro have also built a plugin which provides the functionality to integrate Magento with Ebay which is why we chose to use this plugin to integrate www.cyclestuffdirect.com with Ebay.

Unfortunately, out the box M2ePro is not compatible with one of the features (catalog pricing rules) that comes out the box with Magento. No other plugins are available at the moment with such functionality. Here at Gravytrain we are keen developers and we therefore custom built functionality to provide this feature. CycleStuffDirect are now listed on Ebay and making great returns on their investment in the development.

Need your site integrated with ebay? Need some custom functionality on your magento store? Need your magento store hosted, supported, redesigned or changed get in touch!

Every day one bunny will be hidden somewhere in the office and we want you to find it. All you need to do is follow us at @GravytrainLTD and then tweet us the co-ordinates of where you think the chocolate bunny is hidden with the hash tag #GravytrainBunnyHunt. Whoever is the first to guess correctly will win a Lindt Chocolate Bunny!

The competition will run once a day from 9am till 4:30pm from the 19th of March till the 28th and if there is no winner by 4:30pm, we will send Chilli (our office hoover) to sniff it out and a member of our team will get to take it home. Then the hunt is on again the next day!

Below is the photo for today, but be warned! We will be uploading a different photo of the office every day on our blog page so keep your eyes peeled and you could win!

Good Luck and Happy Easter from everyone at Gravytrain!

Today we are pleased to announce that in just five days Gravytrain appeared in three separate industry publications, all of which noted the expansion of the company and our contribution to the digital marketing industry.

Two publications – The Drum and Communicate – published articles discussing our newest recruits, Helene Hall, Sean Hardaker and Adriano Cammarino, who have all joined our expanding Search Team. Discussing the new recruits, founder Kevin Taylor said: “We are delighted to welcome these new faces to Gravytrain. Helene in particular, coming from the client side to an agency, brings invaluable insight into exactly what our clients want. With some of our new additions speaking a number of languages fluently, these hires will help to expand our international reach and allow us to deliver a more strategic and targeted approach for our customers across the UK and further afield.”

Helene has also discussed her new role at Gravytrain, and said: “I’m really excited about my return to the agency world. My time spent client side has given me a wider appreciation of the role agencies need to play in marketing a brand online. This is an exciting new venture for me and I can’t think of a more promising agency to join.” Helene has already established Gravytrain as a key player in the digital marketing industry through the publication of her article “Don’t Sacrifice Design for SEO or SEO for Design” in the online marketing publication Fourth Source, which has now also appeared in Decision Marketing under the title “Don’t sacrifice Design on altar of SEO”.

If you would like to read either of Helene’s articles in full you can find them on Fourth Source and Decision Marketing online. We shall also be properly introducing our new Senior Account Manager Sean, Search Strategist Adriano and Business Development Ash Ruparell in an upcoming blog post, so keep your eyes peeled!
