Business Owner Jeremy Corner of handmade greeting card specialist Blue Eyed Sun has been announced by Sage as a Business Expert under a new programme run by the FTSE 100 plc.
Jeremy’s greeting card business, Blue Eyed Sun, and its beautiful wedding stationery brand, Ivy Ellen, have been thriving this year despite the recession.
“We are having our best year in twelve years of trading and are up for two awards this week for our latest designs. Social Media has played an important part in our success, along with an excellent team of staff and our focus on our customers’ needs,” said Jeremy. “I am a keen supporter of new businesses through my service with the Greeting Card Association and the Giftware Association and am very proud to have been selected to join the Sage’s Business Experts Programme.”
The unique Sage Business Experts programme started in September 2012 during which Sage recruited well connected business people to join a group which aims to support and advise the UK business community via Social Media.
Sage’s Social Media specialist, Cath Sheldon commented, “We are passionate about supporting UK business potential but we can’t do this on our own. Our ‘Business Experts’ have been handpicked for their advice and expertise on the issues that really matter to business. We look forward to growing this group, learning from them and giving them even more of a voice to support businesses across the country.”
Business Experts have been selected due to their:
- Contribution to the business community – sharing knowledge and helping others improve and develop their businesses.
- Knowledge and influence – from first-hand experience, Sage Business Experts have a wealth of understanding about business challenges and solution.
- Online presence – from forums and Twitter, to LinkedIn and blogs, Sage Business Experts are extensively connected.
