What’s Fuel all about?

You need to have something really special about you in order to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace. People are more picky about who they buy from, competitors are quick to establish and compete on price, and every one of us is becoming increasingly weary of information overload. It’s been said before, and we’ll say it again: you really need to be remarkable to be successful – to have customers who actually like being your customers, happy employees and covetable, well-crafted products and services.

Fuel embraces this and all our speakers will be talking about what it takes to be that remarkable company.

We’ll also be sharing tips on how to streamline your business, cut IT costs, up productivity and build rewarding relationships – all using highly effective, affordable web apps and online marketing techniques.

At Carsonified we depend on the web for most of our day-to-day activity. We’re not just talking our websites and email. A quick shortlist of tools we currently use includes:

- Google Docs to share our various documents
- GCal to keep organised
- Google Analytics to see what people are doing on our sites
- Twitter to be connected
- Tweetscan to see what other people are saying!
- Upcoming, Facebook etc to list events
- RSS to keep tabs on interesting things
- del.icio.us to share information among the team
- Flickr to stash our pics
- Blinksale for most of our invoicing
- Basecamp for managing our projects
- Remember The Milk for group task management
- Campaign Monitor for easy email campaigns
- our own apps EventStream for organising events and DropSend.com for sending large files
- Wordpress for our blogs
- Wufoo for forms and surveys
- Adium for instant messaging

… the list goes on.

Being a small company based in Bath hasn’t stopped us from realising our ambitions – the fact that we’re a web-orientated kind of company has helped us to set up a growing and successful business in a place that we love to be. We hope that Fuel Conference will inspire other companies to adopt the same kind of approach.

Re:Fuel at the Drinks Reception

We know you value face time with speakers and fellow attendees which is why we have included decent breaks and a post conference drinks reception (included in your ticket price) into the schedule.
