We may be in a global crisis of some kind–it’s anybody’s guess. Maybe it’s a recession, maybe it’s a banking crisis or a credit crunch. We know it’s there because we can feel it’s effects. Most people are tightening their belts, watching costs, and planning more carefully to make sure their still here this time next year.
None of these tips is meant to be a one-time activity. They should all be continually ongoing exercises. Even if you don’t see results within weeks, don’t stop trying out ideas.
- What’s a new contact from a customer worth, on average?
- How many visitors do you need today to get a new contact?
- How much time and money can you afford to invest to get each new contact?
- What does that work out to be in terms of additional visitors? How much can you afford to invest to get X amount of traffic?
- How cost-effective would it be to fix your bucket to retain more visitors versus filling the funnel with more new visitors?
Once you’ve figured out your values, consider setting up AdWords pay-per-click ads (or consider Facebook’s ad platform too), which will help you attract additional qualified visitors for a guaranteed capped price.

Your computer comes with dozens of fonts. Does it make sense to alternate fonts on an ad, change colors of the fonts to help them stand out, use unusual fonts to look more unique? Varying fonts and colors may actually convey that your child created the ad. Hiring a professional to create your ad design will ensure that your ad is a success. If you need to print thousands of copies, it is important to use an ad that will work for you or your cause. Ask us about the two most confidence building fonts.

I would like to thank two long-time clients for requesting new websites. Michael K. Brewer (photography) has been a client since 2001. Laura L.

We had a great time at 2012 Celebrate! Convention and Trade Show June 28-July1 in Las Vegas, NV. We stayed at a comfortable and spacious hotel, Tuscany Suites and Casino on Flamingo Rd. We met so many talented people that are part of the gifting industry. I had an opportunity to lead two informational classes on the importance of developing a professional website and offered strategies for marketing using the many social media directories offering free advertising options. In addition to the information classes, we also exhibited for two (2) days.

I learned a lot from all the attendees that I had the pleasure of meeting and I hope that I was able to provide valuable information to help attendees grow their businesses and avoid some of the pitfalls of template-based web services and ways to protect domain names from phishing scams and web services that can make it difficult and sometimes impossible to retrieve a domain name.
We look forward to working with any attendees that decide to employ our services to grow their businesses. We congratulate three (3) attendees for winning 500 Free Business Cards:
