Easter Egg Hunt For Children in Need

We were very fortunate to visit the wonderful children at Ethelbert Child and Youth Care Centre for a party and an Easter Egg Hunt.

The project was run by the Robin Hood Foundation who have an absolute passion to help people who are less fortunate. Their projects extend from visiting newborn babies at a hospital right through to hosting a tea and cake event for the elderly. The reason we, at MJ Media, support this charity is that it is so well organised and also full of love and generosity. All the goods donated by companies and individuals go directly into the hands of the people in need and you can rest assured that if money is donated, it goes to a good cause.

This specific project took us all to the Ethelbert Child and Youth Care Centre in Queensburgh, Durban. It was a hot and sunny day which meant the children had to find the Easter Eggs very quickly before they melted. We didn’t need to worry because the Easter Egg hunt was over in about 10 minutes but then the real party could get started.

There was a constant queue at the face painting stand where “spiderman”, “batman” and “fairies” reappeared from.

Two jumping castles let the children burn off some of the sugar from eating lots of easter eggs and candy floss.

The DJ was especially popular amongst the “teens” and staff who showed us volunteers a thing or two on the dance floor!

Vet Products Online has been operating effectively for 12 years, but this year I thought it was time to progress to the next step of online marketing and social networking. MJ Media was recommended to me to assist and manage Facebook and Google marketing. Bridgette and Giselle are two stars in their field, both professional and enthusiastic. Their support is reliable and their turn around time to requests, queries or project needs is speedy. We have certainly benefited positively from MJ Media input and I highly recommend them to other companies who have internet marketing requirements.

Bridgette and Giselle have been our online partners for about 4 years now. Flexible Workspace sells office space and related services in the B2B market and as the founder not only am I convinced that Online is the most effective channel for our offering but that MJ are the right service provider for us. Being a relatively small (but growing) business, we need to be nimble and they in turn need to be ready and geared to move with us – MJ gets this. Having access to the decision maker/driver of the business is also important to me – they have a personal touch that larger agencies are unable to replicate. Finally, and most importantly they produce results – from the time MJ took over our account they have increased our lead flow 5-fold. As a business owner this is all I’m interested in – lead generation and conversion – this is the real measure of Return on Investment and they have delivered in spades.
