Case study guidelines

Why write a case study?

We're always interested in how you are using our products, and how this has benefited you personally or your business, so we can help others to appreciate the possibilities.

Writing a case study has some great benefits for you:

• It's a great opportunity to demonstrate to our customers what you or your business can do for them, or to raise awareness of your project
• You'll get your details and a link to your website published on our website
• And you'll also receive one of these great polo shirts

What to do

Just write your case study, following the guidelines below.

When it's done, , along with any relevant photos and images, and we'll take a look at your article.

Keep in mind that we want to publish your case study, so we're happy to help you with any questions, and to get it ready for publication. We might ask for more information, and we'll also edit your article as required.

When we're ready to publish it, we'll let you know by email, and you'll have a chance to see your case study before we send it live.

After it's published, your case study will stay on our website for at least three months, and possibly longer.

Note: We reserve the right to decide whether or not to publish a case study and to remove a case study at any time at our discretion.
