LATEST NEWS FROM PISTON HQ
Industry news, project updates and insight into the digital world.

Since Instagram’s creation, it has grown into the ultimate platform for sharing photos. Over 800 million monthly users are active on the site. More than 60 million photos are posted each day, and 1.6 billion daily “likes” are given. There’s also a large number of influencers on the site with a massive amount of followers. And with the right plan, you can become an influential brand, too. You need to post the right kind of content to stay relevant to current followers while also bringing in new ones. But it can be hard to know which kinds of posts work best for growing your audience. Here are some powerful Instagram marketing tips (that actually work) that you can use to milk the popular platform for all that it’s worth. Switch to a business profile ASAP First, you need to switch to a business profile. Before you start thinking about your Instagram marketing plan, be sure that you have an Instagram Business Account. It’s easy to switch your current profile to a business account. Open your account; Click little Gear > Click 'Switch to business account'. It is that easy. You have now unlocked some cool business features. Post product teasers that will (gently) urge people to buy What if you could sell more products just by posting product teasers on Instagram? Well, you can. Instagram is a great place to advertise your products. And if you play your cards right, you won’t annoy users or scare them off with advertisements, either. If you’re too pushy, followers will drop like flies. But product teaser posts are a simple way to talk about your product and increase excitement without looking like you’re trying too hard. Use Instagram Stories If you want to generate leads, Instagram Stories are here to help. Instagram stories differ from regular Instagram posts because they come in a “slideshow” format. They’re only live for 24 hours, but Stories can be saved to any of your devices and reused at a later point. Eh.... take good photos.... It may seem obvious, but good photographs make the world of difference for your feed and your followers. Invest in a good photographer/ videographer that can assist you (we do this here at piston). Pictures win prizes on social media. Create engagement, start a conversation and reap the benefits. Check out some images below from some products we have worked with;

One of the biggest issues we experience with clients is that they are not being represented in the way that they want in one of the most important (and competitive) environments on earth - “the internet”.
Poorly built websites, with poor SERP* rankings, on-site SEO and bad brand management can have a negative effect with client relationships, procuring new business and providing a genuine representation of you and your business.
Piston provide brand design. Brand evolution and can fully support you with bespoke website design, social media, SEO, graphic design and a wide range of powerful media services.

* SERP stands for “Search Engine Results Page.” SERP ranking refers to the position a website or a web page holds in the list of search results displayed by a search engine like Google. Higher SERP rankings typically indicate greater visibility, which can lead to more traffic to the website. Rankings are influenced by various factors, including relevance to the search query, quality of content, SEO practices, and user experience.
It’s 2024 - digital presence is everything!
If you have a poor looking website (or none), weak social media feed and haven’t yet put the time in to address this, you are most likely missing out on some organic business relationship builders.
It’s the first “Hello, welcome to my business” and it speaks before you have even said a word. It’s vital you take some time to look at your current digital space and question it.
What is worse? You have paid the money for a developer to put together a cut and paste job to get you live and it has woeful performance, doesn’t rank well with search engines, looks terrible on mobile (the global go to) and your designer/ developer isn’t responding or delivering a solution… it’s a rabbit hole.
Piston can help! We can audit, access and advise on your current setup and then deliver something that not only looks amazing, but delivers too!
You get access to a powerful management dashboard that gives you real time analytics and also allows you to be part of the digital journey.

Our home, our legacy.
Piston Website Design have proudly expanded operations into our new space at BASE Bordon Innovation Centre, Hampshire - but the progression goes beyond just our physical location. It is deeply personal and intertwined with our founder Barry Parker's family history. Barry's grandfather, Roy Barry Parker, proudly served with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), the very organisation that once occupied Broxhead House as its Officers Mess.
Knowing that this historic site held such significance for his grandfather and the REME, Barry feels a profound sense of pride and responsibility in making Piston Design a part of its legacy. We honour the memory of Roy Parker and the countless individuals who gathered, dined, and found solace within these walls after the war.
As we walk through the grand and spacious business lounge, we imagine the conversations and camaraderie that took place in the past, paying homage to the elegance and heritage of Broxhead House. The gable wall of our tranquil Secret Garden serves as a poignant reminder of the tranquility that once enveloped these grounds, including the moments of respite Roy and his comrades experienced.
Piston Design draws inspiration from this extraordinary blend of history and innovation, carrying forward the spirit of excellence and pushing the boundaries of design. We embrace the opportunity to thrive within this inspiring environment, where the past merges with the present, allowing us to create groundbreaking solutions that honour the remarkable heritage of BASE Innovation Centre.
With BASE as our foundation and the proud connection to Roy, Piston Design embarks on a journey to leave our mark on the future while cherishing the legacy of this remarkable heritage site. We are driven by a shared commitment to excellence, growth, and success for businesses in the East Hampshire area and beyond, just as the REME and BASE Innovation Centre have embodied throughout their history.�
