It’s hard to believe that when Clifton & Co first opened its doors, Windows 95 was still new and mobile phones were still too big to fit in anything other than a very large pocket. No one had even heard of an iPhone, iPad, Xbox, Facebook, Twitter or Youtube and Google had just offered a new way of searching the web. Technology changes so fast and seems to be moving forward quicker all the time. It’s hard to know which website, application or network will be successful or stay the distance and it can be difficult to keep abreast of all the developments and new ideas we see every day.

In the years that Clifton & Co have been around we have always been at the forefront of technology and used it to our customers’ benefit. One of the advantages of being an independent company is that we can be quick to change existing services or adopt new ones. We don’t need to have so many board meetings that the ideas are old before we’ve even begun. Our pledge has always been ‘Modern Techniques – Traditional Values’ and nowhere is this more apparent than in our attitude to online marketing.

After extensive analysis of web traffic looking at the quality and quantity of enquiries generated for our clients’ properties, we have decided that the combination of the two following portals best serves the best interests of our clients in reaching the best quality prospective buyers and tenants. These portals ensure that they offer the most effective coverage of our clients’ property with no sacrifice of the quality of presentation. Our approach to online and digital marketing has always been and will continue to be one of continual development and progression. While we may not know what is around the corner or what will be the ‘next big thing’, Clifton & Co will be evaluating whether it can be used to give our clients an advantage as an interesting and effective method of helping them move.
