Enlighten AR

Well this week has been a bit of a bust! Caught the lurgy from the small people so out of action for a couple of days and my day yesterday was one o those where you spend the whole day busy and running around but feel like you achieve precisely nothing.
Feeling stressy and demotivated today so please drop your top tips below and help me get back on track. I am starting with coffee and Frank Turner a little bit louder than normal!

It's all systems go at Enlighten AR getting everything in place ready for the launch of our Tamworth Scrapbook on World Book Day (6th March if you were wondering) We are stressed and excited and a little bit nervous. We can't wait to show Tamworth what we have been up to!

What's your morning routine to get yourself ready for the day ahead? Mine starts with coffee and a to do list, then I complete the puzzles over on the "other" social media platform. It wakes my brain up, gives me a couple of quick little wins and puts me in a positive mood for the day ahead.
Interested to hear what everyone else does to start the working day

When you're not very good at social media and not very good at blowing your own trumpet it's difficult to write posts like this, but, as the image says...I'm writing a book. It was the result of a crazy idea that I applied, and won funding for forgetting that I actually had to make it happen!
We are well into the project that we are calling the Tamworth Scrapbook so I think it's time to start talking about it a bit. The book is celebrating all things Tamworth; architecture, history, local businesses and artwork which will all be pulled together with additional augmented reality content. I have had help from some amazing local businesses has brought the town to life with her amazing photography and has provided the video content that will be used in the AR triggers created by very own Billy Edwards.
Look out for updates and sneak peeks over the coming weeks!

This is an amazing small business and their candles are gorgeous. Please support them with a like, a share or by buying some of their amazing products

Please read this….

😢 - Right then Wonky supporters. It’s time for some honesty from us. It really hurts to be writing this but we wanted to be truthful with you.

😢 - We have hit a crossroads with the business where it’s no longer viable and we are almost out of cash. We certainly won’t be getting paid this month.

🙏🏻 - We cannot thank you all enough for your past and ongoing support but we understand many people have limited amounts of spare money for buying luxuries like candles and with our costs HUGELY spiralling we have not been making money.

🌈 - As a last ditch attempt to keep going and keep Pj in his favourite place, Wonky World. We have reduced everything on the website that we have left. This is all stock that we either have made or have the raw materials to make for you.

💜 - If this goes well enough and we can generate the cash to pay our bills this month we will look to do our best to continue, but certainly with price increases.

🩷 - This business means SO much to us and the amazing people, schools & charities it supports.

😍 - PLEASE PLEASE do your thing, support in any way you can let’s Save Wonky together! Without you we are nothing.

A little bit of Friday fun. This made me laugh a lot because it’s the kind of thoughts I have when I can’t sleep

Augmented reality (AR) is transforming the way companies approach marketing and merchandise. It’s no longer about telling customers what makes your brand great – it’s about showing them, in the most interactive way possible.

With AR, customers can visualise products in their own spaces, explore virtual try-ons, or even engage with immersive brand experiences. It’s memorable, innovative, and bridges the gap between online and in-person shopping.

For merchandise, AR can breathe new life into your offerings – think scannable designs that unlock digital content or experiences. It’s a fantastic way to stand out and keep your audience engaged.

AR isn’t just the future of marketing – it’s happening now. Not sure how your company could use it to captivate customers and drive sales? Get in touch for a chat

At the risk of stating the obvious it's a bit nippy out there! How are we all staying warm? For me it's copious amounts of coffee and a little fan heater that's doing overtime
On an unrelated note...these are acceptable office attire aren't they?

Tuesday – the unsung hero of the working week. Monday gets all the drama, Friday steals the glory, but Tuesday? Tuesday just quietly gets on with it, no fuss.
By Tuesday, we’ve shaken off the Monday fog, and the Friday distractions are still a safe distance away. It’s the sweet spot where we’re caffeinated, focused, and (let’s be honest) too far from the weekend to start slacking off.
Maybe it’s not glamorous, but Tuesday is like a good cup of coffee: reliable, comforting, and gets the job done. So here’s to Tuesday – the overachiever of the week.
Now, back to work before Friday starts flirting with us.

And so it begins! A blank page, a new year at work and endless possibilities….. even if the alarm was a bit of a shock to the system this morning!
