Social Networking – Marketing Magic?
A long, long time ago – at least in Internet years – the way to drive traffic to your site was write a blog. Check. Then we sent you a newsletter – opt in of course. You read it once or twice and you stopped reading. Don’t you love us? We linked to our business contacts on LinkedIn. Seems you already knew us. Then we were supposed to join MySpace. Check – met lot of 20 somethings, but not a lot of marketing bang for the buck. Then it was Facebook. Check – now we spend unthinkable amount of time trying to make what we are doing now sound interesting – do you actually care that I am staring at my computer? Now, the rage is to Tweet on Twitter, really?
What works and what doesn’t? I guess it depends on your audience. Our blogs and newsletter are content we create, which tend to get read and drive traffic. The other sites tend be popular until the next shiny object come along. Right now, we get a fair am amount of visibility from Facebook and Twitter – but that will probably change in six months.
A very long time ago – especially in Internet years – I belonged to a business exchange group. We met twice a month and truly sat down face to face. I still get business from that group. Call it doing business the old fashion way, but it works. Sure, online social networking can drive traffic to your site, but in the long run it’s the people that you do business with. So, back away from the laptop and go out and talk to a real live body – you may be surprised – you might even get some business!
We recognize that it takes much more than financial support to get a company off the ground, thus we provide assistance in every aspect along the way allowing you to develop and grow a profitable business.
With our business knowledge and experience, we can help you transform your vision into a business. We have managed and grown numerous businesses – some were stellar successes, some were not. We learned from both. Our executive team offers insight, experience, and a hands-on approach to cultivate, manage and grow commercially successful businesses.
