closed the entries for our Facebook
competition to win 1 of 3 new ipad minis
and we have our winners .
So, congratulations to :
Laura Gorman, winner of the Twin SpiresComplex competition
Deirdre Turner, winner of the Westlink
Enterprise Centre competition
Roisin McManus, winner of the Dairy
Farm Shopping Complex competition
Have fun with them guys!
Asides seasonal goodwill however, there
is a business motive to running such a
competition. Our objective was to
increase awareness of the three new
Facebook Pages created for Ortus
Property Services, resulting in increased
page views and new likes.
For example, the Dairy Farm Shopping
Centre page experienced a 187% increase
in unique likes through the month, whilst
Twin Spires Complex page experienced a
96% increase.
As a result, this has exposed the pages to
new Facebook users, which in turn canresult in new customers for your
business - so please keep sending your
offers through to us along with pictures
and we will put them onto the relevant
pages.
Please contact:
Mandy at [email protected] or

Show Your Support forJam and put it on your
Window...!
In the hustle of bustle of
everyday we can all need a bit
of space and understanding.
What if you had a learning
disability or difficulty and felt
this way often? A group at
Kidnap Wednesday told us
that they often felt under
pressure when they were out and about and would
like a discreet way of letting people know that they
needed some extra time.
Cleverly, NOW have introduced a solution to the
problem and with a grant from the Police and Com-
munity Safety Partnership, have developed the JAM
card. It is a credit card sized plastic card that people
with learning disabilities/difficulties can carry and
pass over to shop staff, bus drivers etc when they feel
that they need a bit of extra time and patience.
The card features a contemporary design and a short
but effective message - Just a Minute.
The word is spreading about JAM card, with clients
and support workers educating local businesses,
public transport workers, taxi drivers and community
groups about learning disability/difficulties and
asking them to display a sticker in their windowstating their support for JAM card holders.
For NOW, inclusion in the community for their clients
is crucial and that these clever cards will create em-
powerment as well as educating the local commu-
nity. Throughout Belfast more than 300
individuals are now using the JAM card and over 200
local businesses and services are displaying the
support sticker in their windows and the Project are
confident that these figures will grow steadily.
People using the JAM cards have said that they make
them feel more confident when they are out and
about in town, something most of us take for granted
each day. In rolling out the stickers to local shop
owners, NOW have had the opportunity to tell them
more about their work and further educate the local
public on these matters.
So why dont you show your support for this initiativeand put JAM on your window? You will be supporting
an excellent cause and opening up new opportunities
for users of the cards - after all, you can only increase
your trade as a result!
To claim your JAM sticker, contact Thomas on:

Tenant Profile:
OIN Interactive
Eoin Lennon started trading in 2007 after a
realisation that jobs specialising in Programming and
Graphic Design were hard to come by in NorthernIreland.
Following a start up programme with Invest NI, Eoin
developed his business plan and acquired the
necessary skills to run a business. From there he set
about trying to increase awareness of his new
business, which he said himself has been the biggest
challenge to date, especially whilst operating within a
heavy recession.
However, Eoin battles through has stuck with it,
which is certainly what we too would recommend.
There is always support available and when times are
tough, talk to others and do your research - dont
give up. Eoin mentioned that despite the current
times we operate in, driving around Belfast and
seeing work you have designed on billboards which
has pleased your customers will bring a smile to the
face.
