Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Thanks to our guest blogger, Sandi Eveleth at Kiss Your Web.  Everyone searches for everything online!  We all need to make our websites user friendly and easily found by those whose business we are looking for.

Do You Know How Many of Your Website Visitors Are Local? Or How Many Come Directly to Your Site vs. Through Links from Other Sites?

Do not waste any more time if you don’t have this information at your fingertips! Google™ makes it so easy with it’s Analytics tool. Within just a few minutes, you can set up a Google™ Analytics account (or have your Web Developer complete this task and give you access to the account) that, within about a day’s time, will give you valuable information as to where your visitors come from, how many new visitors you get, how many pages per visit a visitor clicks through and so much more. You’ll even be able to tell if the click came from external links such as a Facebook link, and how many came from that type of link. This information can help you adjust your marketing efforts to increase click-through rates from your external links and social media networking sites.

An Engaging Experience

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Marketing in 2010 has changed dramatically. Most business owners by now realize consumers search for everything online. Does your website excite, invite and motivate your visitors?

Today it’s not enough just to have a website. It’s all about first impressions. You would be better having no website than project a poor image of your company.

Imagine personally greeting every visitor 24/7/365, now that’s customer service! How about a video depicting the highlights of your product or service? Potential customers will no longer have to imagine what you offer but will get a true visual experience of your product or service.

It’s easy and affordable to have the power of video working for you. Video can enhance SEO, drive sales, engage your visitors and showcase your business. With website videos you can present exactly what you wish to convey to your audience without the constraints of time and broadcast technicalities

Interested? There’s more – with a video business card you can send your personal message in your e-mail.

Your “About Us” will come alive when your personnel introduce themselves and explain how they will benefit the visitor. How about a tour or training? Video takes you there and engages viewers in a way that text simply cannot.

Today – video means business.

Video Tip 7

From Video Workshop – Video Means Business

MAKING THAT FIRST IMPRESSION

  • We’ve all heard “you only have one chance to make a great first impression”.
  • Smile, be genuine, the idea is to excite, inspire and motivate the visitor.
  • Dress appropriately (if using a green screen, do not wear any shades of green), avoid fringe, lace and stripes.

What’s a Video Business Card?

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Your video business card is your opportunity to personally present your 30 second “elevator speech.”  When placed in your e-mail it looks like a business card with the your photo and logo and invites the reader to listen to your welcome message.  It offers you the opportunity to personally greet your clients.

Sample Video Business Card

Add video to your e-mail

As you know, you only have 3 seconds to make that great first impression, in person, on your website, or in social media.  People remember 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see but 70% of what they see and hear!

If a picture is worth a 1,000 words – imagine a video.

  • Makes that important great first impression
  • Personally greet your clients and future clients
  • Show and tell how your product or service will benefit your clients
  • Reflect your personal brand
  • Present your elevator speech
  • Attract more business
  • VIDEO MEANS BUSINESS

    Kimberlie Dykeman, Austin TV producer ” Video Power”

    Monday, March 8th, 2010

    “Video is the most powerful way to tell a story, capture the imagination, argue a point, entertain and inform your target audiences –made up of individuals who prefer, hands down, to “watch” and “hear” your message and offerings, than to read it. In putting a voice and a face to your company’s name and brand, you leverage the repurposable impact of engaging, storytelling video content to retain current customers, gain new clients, and attract larger corporate partners and sponsors.” …if I may quote myself!

    In interviewing Byron Reese, CEO of Demand Media at SXSW, he laughed in saying someday he hopes we finally “get-it-together” and acknowledge the true power of video, so we can tell our grandkids that the internet was once this THING that was just full of words and more words! LOVE THAT!

    WHY VIDEO?

    It’s a product that transforms YOUR presence from average to extraordinary, adding a cosmopolitan layer to YOUR reputation. That enhances current marketing and branding efforts, increase site traffic, lead generation and online visibility and credibility via cutting-edge video communication tools that powerfully deliver the following:
    1.. An authentic introduction to the people that comprise YOUR COMPANY. Breathing life into all aspects of the entity from the outside-in.
    2.. A showcase of YOUR presence in YOUR industry through engaging messaging, spotlighted current facts and opinions, entertaining footage and conversation.
    3.. Spotlighted pieces of YOU, both timely and times, regarding YOUR history and future, people, products and services, news/press, customers/partners, etc
    4.. Timely and timeless marketing messages, both repurposable in use and malleable in
    audience presentation.

    WHY VIDEO with a SPOKESPERSON?!
    YOU harness the power of a professional talent whose personality and presence adds an entirely new dimension to YOUR image and brand; statistically engages a broader array of audiences, partners, sponsors, and media.

    “Video provides a rich medium designed to drive awareness and engagement, to entertain, and to deliver advertising impressions in a format more targeted, focused and familiar to customers. ” – Web Analytics Demystified.com
