From McCord Web Services – Google Partner and Web Visibility Experts
At McCord Web Services, we are moving this week just before the holidays. Plus all our staff is arriving from out of town to help with the move and to do some retraining. As we are a family business, that means our house will be full with more technology than you can shake a stick at and full of laughter with ten people around the dinner table.
We’ll be back blogging on Monday next week.
Wishing you the very best for the upcoming holiday.
Mobile devices, social media, and streaming are all the rage. But what effect does all that tech really have on your brain?
This is Your Brain on Tech:
“I’m not lazy; I’d just prefer to Google it.” People used to retain vast amounts of knowledge, which they could pull-up and recite on demand. Today’s tech, however, has limited this drive, which is instead outsourced to tech to handle.
Come back and visit us on Wednesday for the rest of this article.
If your business is pulling back where can you realistically chop in your marketing plan and not get hurt?
Social Media – if you are paying to update Facebook,
Twitter and Google+ you could easily take a break to save money.
Blogging – try not to kill all your writing as the SEO juice you get from well-written blog posts helps you in the long run, but maybe consider moving from three days a week to two or from two days a week to one. Try to still keep the momentum up but maybe lower the word count or frequency.
Google AdWords – don’t touch it unless you absolutely have to. AdWords is hands down the best way to generate new leads and start cash pumping back into your business.
e-newsletters – they build loyalty and repeat business. Newsletters are especially important to businesses that have annual renewals for service plans like pest control firms and HVAC firms. If you chop this, your name is not kept infront of your customers and come time to renew, they may not see the value of renewing; which will hurt your sales even further.
Need some practical sense to make the most of the budget you do have or to get AdWords to work harder for you? We’re the firm to call and chat with first especially if you are looking for honest advice you can trust with no sales pressure.
I will not be posting to my blog this week as I am doing my final move to Virginia. Who knew that moving could be so laborious and complicated.
Not only am I moving my residence, my office, but I am reorganizing my business into a Virginia entity all at the same time.
I have to say that I think I would be having a stroke if it were not for the kind and competent people at MyCorporation.com who are doing my Maryland dissolution and Virginia reorganization. They are handling all the details and paperwork as well as setting up my new federal EIN.
I used them before when I set up my Maryland corporation in 2008. If you are not a lawyer and do not know where to turn for help in setting up or even deciding what to do, www.MyCorporation.com is a great place to start.
I will not be set up in my new office until Friday August 28th, so there will be no additional blog posts this week. See you next week!
