Is your website mobile ready?

Is your website mobile ready?

…what do I mean by that???
What you may think your website looks like on a smart phone may be dramatically different than you think. Surprisingly flash elements don’t appear on a smart phone or even IPads ? More and more people are using these devices on a regular basis. I recently saw someone videotaping a show at the Philadelphia flower show.  People carry smart phones in their pockets and refer to them constantly for directions to restaurants, to check the hours of operations, or to make reservations.  They have even devoted a sidewalk in Philadelphia for texters!

Search engine optimization, SEO Marketing is the process of improving the visibility of a Website or a Web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid search results.

hopes to make a difference by removing some of the financial stress.”

Why WordPress?

Why WordPress?

WordPress has historically been known as a great blogging tool. However in recently years, it has been transformed into a wonderful website platform. There are many reasons why WordPress has become so popular as a CMS content management system choice. Here are just a few:

Who is looking at your website?

You’re on the web.  Your mother’s, sister’s, aunt’s, son, who’s married to your first cousin does websites “on the side” and got your business “online”…..  

Now what?

A few weeks, months, (even years?), go by and you don’t think anything about your website. Have you looked at your website lately?  Are there dated materials on your website?  And by the way did you ever think about who is looking at your website and what it means to your business?

Social Media Marketing – Can it benefit my business?

How can Social Media Marketing benefit my business?

According to “Resources for Entrepreneurs Staff”, “Using social media to improve a small business’ exposure online is one of the fastest-growing trends today.”  But many business owners do not have the time, nor the desire, to manage their own social media.

How can you use social media to get more prospects and sales for your business?  You may need to hire an “internet marketing strategist”, aka Social Media Expert.   Someone who can completely manage your social media efforts, handling everything from Twitter to Facebook to Blogging, to Linkedin.

How important is your Logo or Brand

 How important is your logo or brand for your online business?

An important part of starting up a new business is developing the company ‘brand’.  To be effective, the logo should be consistently used for uniforms, vehicles, stationary, website, business cards and promotional items such as tote bags, magnets and pens. In short, any visible representation of your business will become part of, and contribute positively, to your company branding.

The most important component of any brand of course, is the recognizable logo. It will be displayed prominently on all of the items detailed above. Your logo is what will identify, in A MOMENT, and from this moment on ……. YOUR BUSINESS! ……… let’s be careful.

Have a business but no Website?

I recently visited a restaurant in Galloway Township and thoroughly enjoyed my dish. Craving the dish as a take-out item but not remembering the  name of the dish, I googled their sight. SURPRISE!!!  No website,…….only a listing with their phone number.

Imagine that.  a restaurant, in 2011 new jersey, that serves and delivers takeout food , has no website.   Now I don’t want to disparage the place, as a ‘restaurant’,  because the food is GREAT.  Although they’’ve only been open a couple of years, they’ve established themselves as a very reliable place to dine.  The point here however is that they miss the opportunity to  grow their business  with THE FUTURE OF  MARKETING….. the internet.
