All social platforms are affordable and effective methods of generating leads and revenue for entrepreneurs or businesses of all sizes. Twitter, now known as X after the recent rebrand, has been one of the top social media marketing platforms since it launched in 2006 and users quickly began building their followers to amplify their online updates. X gonna give it to you!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://www.bestbusinessbuilders.com" target="_blank">Join My New Business Team And Start Selling On Social Media</a></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Gaining followers, retweets, likes, and engagement has been a goal for Twitter users since the beginning. It has been made more manageable to grow a Twitter.com account using <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2018/08/most-helpful-digital-tools-software-marketers-startup.html" target="_blank">automated digital marketing tools</a> for following, unfollowing, content posting, retweets, messaging, and engagement in the new 2023 SMM landscape (with 2024 kept in the back of our minds).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Growing your Twitter followers on X means growing your online influence, even still in 2023. In fact, Twitter is in the spotlight more than ever after Elon Musk's much publicized acquisition and recent political elections. Twitter was written off and unappreciated as a SMM powerhouse for a couple of years in favor of shiny new objects like Instagram and Snapchat (now in favor of TikTok), but it is still a very powerful platform, especially with a shiny new blue checkmark courtesy of a frugal Twitter Blue monthly subscription. Here is how to <a href="https://www.hubspot.com/twitter" target="_blank">benefit from your Twitter</a> followers, tweets, and messages in 2023. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Being a user of Twitter since the beginning, I have seen a lot of changes. Tens of millions of people have come and gone on Twitter.com, including founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey now. Many people have moved on to video first <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2016/10/simple-guide-social-media-marketing-platforms.html" target="_blank">social media platforms</a>, such as YouTube, Snapchat and TikTok and others went on to Instagram and Pinterest, but the fact remains that over 300 million people still use Twitter (now X). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>This number is growing as Twitter has worked diligently to bring more features to the </span><a href="https://www.michaelschiemer.com/p/social-media.html" target="_blank">social media</a><span> platform. They are also the creators of Periscope and it is easy now to embed videos into your Twitter feed using that feature or YouTube vids. Just this past week, Twitter made the “notifications” easier to read with larger icons of the users who are retweeting and liking. Twitter notifications have changed along with certain settings. So have tweets lost power? I love Twitter and throughout the years I have made the most money from this social selling platform. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>But, I have to warn you: Tweets don’t have as much clout as they used to. I pretty much won’t read a tweet unless it has a photo. That is probably just because I watch my<a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2021/12/best-tips-social-media-marketing.html" target="_blank"> social media feed</a> all day long and have gotten lazy in reading just text. Another thing is that so many people have become savvy content marketers on Twitter, that if your tweet doesn’t have the best, catchy titles, you will be overlooked. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Types Of Tweets That Still Do Well On Twitter / X</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2012/04/international-political-economical.html" target="_blank">Business Success Quotes</a> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Beautiful Landscapes </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Surveys </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Videos from TikTok and Periscope </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Crazy animated GIFs </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Cute Animals </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Legitimate Reviews </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Controversial content </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Perfectly Timed Trending Memes </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Political Posts</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>How To Improve Your Twitter Performance</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Make your Twitter bio more appealing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Determine the optimal time to publish tweets </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Post regularly </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Better understand the Twitter algorithm </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Experiment with various content kinds </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Develop your brand voice and develop distinctive content. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">- Learn about hashtags on X and how to deploy them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Hashtags help you grow your following and results on Twitter as well, including for <a href="http://www.SchiemerFinancial.com" target="_blank">my Schiemer Financial business</a>. There are significant benefits to using hashtags on Twitter. Brands that use hashtags in their tweets and profiles have seen a 50% increase in post engagement. Tweets with 1-2 hashtags are twice as engaging as tweets without a hashtag. However, tweets with more than two hashtags also saw an 13% drop in engagement.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Top tweets with or without hashtags still work for <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/network-marketing-tips-for-facebook-business-engagement/" target="_blank">social media marketing</a>, but if you only have 200 followers you probably won’t notice a ton of people retweeting you. Over the years of consistently following and unfollowing people with the Crowdfire App, Manageflitter, and Tweepi (although I haven't used any of these in years at this point though) I have amassed over 200,000 real followers that have stood the test of time for a decade. In fact, gaining nearly a quarter million Twitter followers on @MikeSchiemer has helped Mike Schiemer gain a net worth of over $1 million in 2024 over the course of many years in business. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">“Wow, that is great” you might think this if you do X social <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/top-mlm-companies-in-egypt-best-network-marketing-businesses-ranked/" target="_blank">network marketing in Egypt</a> or the United States alike. But, the reality is that I followed a lot of people, but never connected fully with my followers, besides the initial direct message I send out (which I will talk about in a minute). This lack of connection means my followers don’t really know me as well as they could, not like a true celebrity or leader that “attracts” a following instead of just massively following. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, was this time and effort <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/follow-us-on-social-media-profiles/" target="_blank">on social media</a> a waste of time? Absolutely not. We learn from our mistakes and I try a lot harder to interact with my followers nowadays, and the large numbers still do work in my favor. I get 10 to 40 clicks to each of my tweets that lead back to an article on one of my many business blogs. This might not seem huge, but it really adds up. Most new bloggers don’t even get 40 views to their blog all day. And with SEO value proven from Twitter, the long term business website traffic increase is the real deal.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The answer is a resounding YES. See, <a href="https://business.twitter.com/en/blog/how-to-increase-twitter-followers.html" target="_blank">growing new Twitter followers</a> are the most interested in you the first few minutes they follow you. After a few days they will probably forget about you, unless you’re a huge leader. So, the most important time to say what you want to say is when they immediately follow you. It would take hours a day to manually direct message everyone who followed you. I get maybe 300 to 500 new followers everyday on the X social network. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, Crowdfire is a great app that you can set up and send out a direct message. Here’s a more detailed article how I followed and unfollowed on Twitter Using Crowdfire. How to Use Crowdfire App I Chose their “Earth Plan” because it erases their brand’s signature at the end of your direct message and makes your automated message look “real time from you.” This is a very important detail. People will ignore you much more if they see @crowdfireapp at the end of your direct message linking to <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/p/discounts-domains-buy-domain-names.html" target="_blank">your domain name</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Creating a Direct Message that people listen to and do whatever you want them to. First, I want to cover what NOT to do on Twitter for social media marketing. So many people waste their most important minutes connecting with a new follower by saying things like this in their direct message: “Thanks for the follow! Please like me on Facebook!” “Thanks for the follow. I don’t <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2015/12/reasons-nobody-reads-your-tweets-mike-schiemer.html" target="_blank">use Twitter</a> that much, let’s connect on Facebook!” “Thanks for the follow!” (Why even say this? No one will remember your friendliness two minutes from now and you have no “call-to-action.” And. . . “Thanks for the follow! As a token of my appreciation I have enclosed a link. . .blah, blah, blah.” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">These direct messages simply don’t work anymore, or haven’t worked for the last 6 years. We’ve heard these a million times and they barely work. Yes, you might get 1 out of 200 who do what you want, but why settle for much less than what you could be getting? Why don’t these <a href="https://www.myfrugalfitness.com/2020/11/social-media-marketing-hacks-before-start-agency.html" target="_blank">social media marketing automations</a> work? Because they sound automated! Yes, you need to automate your direct message if you follow a lot of people on Twitter or they follow you, but it doesn’t need to sound robotic. Here is one of the first direct messages that worked for me: “Thanks! We’re looking for individuals who are success-driven with a desire to make Extra Income: (my opportunity link)” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Later on, I even took out the “Thanks.” Why did this work? People responded because I got to the point. Don’t worry if you think you sound rude, because in the new technological world of nearly 7 second attention spans (Goldfish have longer attention spans), people are in such a rush that they begin to roll their eyes in about 2 seconds if you don’t get to the point. I have to add, that this message was geared for my network marketing opportunity and I wanted to <a href="https://www.leanstartuplife.com/2021/01/how-to-lead-in-business-without-burnout.html" target="_blank">acquire a ton of sales leads</a>. I worked hard consistently. I think I got 700 leads from this message and 10 or so upgrades. But, that was the problem with this message. It didn’t build trust because it went right to my lead capture page. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Messages work a lot better if you can lead them to a video or a blog article, so they can see you, hear you and read you. The next direct message I tried, which was even better, was: “Thanks! I have a new business and I am looking for partners. Are you open to other business ventures? Here: (my opportunity link)” Again, this was for my <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/best-mlm-companies-for-2020/" target="_blank">network marketing opportunity</a>, but it worked really well. It had an exciting ring to it and it didn’t sound desperate. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The point is, we need to sound authentic in our direct messages just as much as we speak to our friends and family. If you can personalize your direct message by getting the person’s name into the direct message even better! So, instead of saying “Thanks for the follow!” or “Like my <a href="https://www.marketingmasterminds.org/2019/06/ways-use-facebook-promote-small-business.html" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>!,” knock them off-guard by asking them a real question, like: “Did you get your blog yet? I started mine a couple years ago and it has given me the ability to work from home. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Read this real quick: (your blog article on <a href="https://www.socialsellingentrepreneur.net/2020/12/top-mlm-companies-best-ranked-network-marketing-businesses.html" target="_blank">MLM business opportunities</a>)” See what I did? I asked them a question like I would if we just met in a coffee shop. Be real. Be transparent. Get to know your followers and their needs and start developing messages for them. Then, A/B test everything you do. Check which messages are working the best and continue doing it to drive traffic and brand awareness on Twitter.com for tweet and message monetization. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Beware that anything you do online will lose its effect after a while if it gets too spammy, repetitive, or stale. These monetized Twitter messages of mine took a couple weeks to get into high gear, but lost power after a few months. After a couple of years they lost a lot of effectiveness and I had to start tweeting more instead. Keep experimenting. Never leave a message up forever. Also, once in awhile go in and copy and paste your link from the direct message and paste it into a new window on your browser to see if it still works. Social media messaging marketing is a <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2021/07/money-saving-tactics-for-new-entrepreneurs.html" target="_blank">low cost way for entrepreneurs to market</a> their business.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I use Buffer or Goo.gl to shorten all my links. It's a <a href="https://www.divinedesignshairsalons.com/" target="_blank">beautiful thing</a> in some scenarios on social media. You don’t want your opportunity links to look like a spammy and cheap link. Shrink it down with Buffer, Bitly, or TinyURL to look more legitimate and less sketchy. Nobody wants to click on a massively long, tacky, and spammy link. Or just pay $10-20 and buy a beautiful and professional custom domain name that redirects to your specific business website. You can always change where the custom link goes in the future if needed, so it will be well worth the $20 per year renewal fee. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://neilpatel.com/blog/twitter-marketing-tips/" target="_blank">Twitter is still one of the most powerful social media platforms</a>. Since I schedule about 20 tweets a day that lead back to my various business blogs, a quarter of my blog traffic comes from Twitter. It also has made me a small fortune in affiliate and network marketing commissions along with advertising revenue and sponsored content. It can do the same for your online business and social media marketing! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading this blog post about increasing your Twitter followers and monetizing your tweets or DMs. We hope this <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/p/best-motivational-business-quotes.html" target="_blank">helps motivate marketers</a> to improve their Twitter branding and overall SMM advertising.

I was a little worried myself when I joined my <a href="https://www.socialsellingentrepreneur.net/2020/12/top-mlm-companies-best-ranked-network-marketing-businesses.html" target="_blank">current MLM company</a>, but there is a lot that I have learned about the Direct Selling industry since then. People do make mistakes though in network marketing and direct sales, especially since they are starting a new profession</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s see what mistakes new network marketers make as they build their MLM business venture after they join a top MLM company: </span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Rejection Is A Normal Part Of MLM</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">First thing an excited new network marketer wants to do is tell everyone they know about these awesome new products and the financial freedom they can have if they just join NOW. This is like the 15 year old revving up the engine and everyone watching is worried. This is when the sponsor who brought the new network marketer in needs to train them in how to speak, because MLM is a language and there is no selling in this language if it is spoken properly. Rejection can be prevented if the sponsor teaches the new distributor how to prospect properly. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The days of having a new distributor create a list of their 25 closest friends and family that might do well in the business are over. It is okay that your broke uncle and crazy step-mom don’t join your business. They are broke and crazy for a reason to be honest, so you might be better off building your downline with <a href="https://www.myfrugalfitness.com/2022/08/top-mlm-companies-best-network-marketing-businesses-ranked.html" target="_blank">a top MLM business opportunity</a> without them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Go after the people you want in your business. It is your business, you can pick and choose who you want in it. There are way better prospects online who are looking for the type of opportunity you offer. Attracting prospects to you online takes time, but is more rejection free than prospecting in person. This is what rejection feels like <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/businessideas/network-marketing" target="_blank">in the MLM business</a>.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Rejection is integral with prospecting, even the <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/top-5-best-mentors-network-marketers-2018/" target="_blank">best MLM leaders</a> get rejection but it can be treated with indifference, like a waitress asking customers if they want more coffee. Some will want more, some won’t, and so what. It is not a personal attack on the waitress and that goes for network marketers who are constantly prospecting. You have to get a lot of "no" to get to some "yes" responses. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Go through the numbers, sift through the sand to find the gold nuggets of leaders and never look back. Keep shucking oysters until you find some top MLM team leader candidates, especially in a big <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/best-mlm-businesses-in-india-top-network-marketing-companies-ranked/" target="_blank">MLM marketplace such as India</a>.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Getting Stuck In MLM Management Mode </span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When we do finally create a team of distributors in our MLM downline, some of us get stuck in management mode. We stop bringing in fresh people, the lifeblood of our business, and go into management mode. Management mode is basically micro-managing people and doing things for them that they could do themselves.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Discouragement Happens In Network Marketing</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Discouragement and even depression can set in after the “honeymoon” stage of MLM wears off in the first six months to a year in your home-based business. Many new network marketers jump ship and go to <a href="https://www.leanstartuplife.com/2020/12/top-mlm-companies-best-network-marketing-business.html" target="_blank">the next MLM company</a>, or quit altogether. It is imperative to keep in contact with your new distributors and check in with them. Ideally, if they were initially presented the opportunity properly and told about the time frame for becoming successful in network marketing to be 2 to 5 years, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, than the new distributor would have a better perspective on the venture. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Keep them plugged into the training and testimonial calls from your company. This will keep their enthusiasm elevated. The longer you sustain someone’s optimism, the quicker they will become leaders themselves. When in doubt, learn more about direct selling and MLM recruiting. If you feel stuck, read positive books on success, network marketing and self-development. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My first six months after joining <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/10-best-fastest-rising-network-marketing-companies-in-the-world-for-2021/" target="_blank">a top MLM company</a> I watch every training video on YouTube. I downloaded over 30 eBooks on network marketing and I tuned in to the weekly testimonial calls. Do what you have to do to stay in the MLM in 2023. You will never fail in network marketing if you don’t quit. </span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Branding Your MLM Company, Not Your Personal Brand </span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>When I joined my current business, I researched it thoroughly online. I found a top 100 list and found the company and product I wanted and set out to find a sponsor. I found maybe 10 people on YouTube who were talking about joining their business, which was the company I wanted. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>I found one guy at the top of the page and I was turned off right away by his baseball cap and his casual talk about </span><a href="https://www.marketingmasterminds.org/2020/12/top-mlm-companies-best-direct-selling-business.html" target="_blank">your MLM company</a><span> success and using the word bro. I didn’t feel comfortable joining some younger guy wearing a baseball cap. That is just me personally, but professionalism is needed in this industry and I found a guy that seemed more my style about 5 videos down. So, it does matter how you present yourself online. I certainly wouldn’t join a person if all they did was spam “Earn $5000 a week for FREE” with their MLM opportunity to uninterested recipients. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The internet is flooded with scams and most people can’t tell the difference between a Ponzi Scheme and a legitimate network marketing company. The easiest way to tell if it is legit is that the company has a consumable product that needs replenishing monthly, this is how re-occurring income happens for us in the profession. A Ponzi Scheme has no product and the company is driven by the commissions of recruiting lots of people, but there is no product. Bernie Madoff pulled off the biggest Ponzi Scheme in America with scamming billions of dollars off of investors. The Ponzi worked as long as it did because he was always bringing in new investors, whose investments paid the dividends to the investors who were in longer. Know the difference and find a product you love.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Conclusion: Learn And Earn In MLM For 2023 And 2024</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This leads me back to suggesting books on Success and Leadership. A really good classic is How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. These books will slowly transform you and your multi-level marketing success opportunities. The more you learn, the more you earn in affiliate marketing and direct selling. Network marketing is one big self-development course, even with <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/who-is-the-best-network-marketing-business-in-japan/" target="_blank">Chinese MLM businesses</a>. Of course, in the beginning most people are money motivated, but as they mature within the business they will learn that helping others become successful within MLM is way more satisfying and more profitable. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Spamming your links is a dead-end. It might work in the short-term, but to build a strong foundation in your <a href="https://www.divinedesignseverett.com/2021/09/top-mlm-companies-best-network-marketing-businesses.html" target="_blank">home-based MLM business</a> takes being a selfless leader who solves people’s problems, not directly, but through videos or content that can be distributed automatically and effortlessly to thousands of your team members. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There will be a time when you have so many people on your downline team you will want to do webinars and videos to communicate to them all. You will have teams growing in parts of the world you had never heard of. It is an exciting profession and once your business gains momentum there is no stopping it. You will be set for life and your children can inherit the business. Stay focused and positive with your MLM business strategy, <a href="https://www.mikeschiemer.com/2019/12/introduction-digital-marketing-new-startups.html">online marketing</a>, product sales, and recruiting. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You can only get better, so stick out the tough times by training more and visualizing the end result you desire. I use positive affirmations daily and have my ideal lifestyle pasted as pictures on my vision board. These practices do add up to a complete version of myself that I wanted to become. You will become that leader you look up to as well if you don’t quit MLM in 2023 and continue piling on the profits in 2024 along with the years ahead. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="https://livegoodtour.com/BusinessBuilder" target="_blank">Here Is Our New Favorite MLM Company To Join</a></b></span></p>Bootstrap Business Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309217762655257874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755135720627336941.post-30285299916522008532023-01-06T20:39:00.000-05:002023-09-27T07:56:17.873-04:00Packaging And Label Trends For Retail And Ecommerce<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="product packaging label trends retail store products ecommerce shop" border="0" data-original-height="419" data-original-width="640" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQxiix91JufWqK6YXz29ZzI8WXg0oBK2wLh-oeVDciZKb8ikMZBo9UrTIGbSZEIzDLYL0s4NgOfBSZj__zMaPdEtnFtpPLzN8t9FsZVW4IVEYHawOCpT1rK309LcAFjnLaphmd4TrWmMQ/s640/product-packaging-trends-products-label-retail-store-ecommerce-shop.jpg" title="product packaging label trends retail store products ecommerce shop" width="640" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">When looking the latest product packaging and label trends across the retail and e-commerce industry, look no further than healthy food products (or at least products purported to be healthy). People across all cultures, ages and continents become more and more aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. That influences their eating and buying habits as well as increases the awareness of the importance of movement and practicing sports. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Brands all over the world see the recent trends and adapt their packaging to look attractive to their target audience. Other businesses are created and developed especially to fit this market or create new product lines for new kind of customers. But what are the trends exactly? What makes one product visually healthier from the other competing products? What do retailers and e-commerce shop operators need to know about merchandising, packaging, labeling, and unboxing?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Minimalism </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Minimalism is a trend that appears currently almost across every industry such as fashion, cosmetics, food, <a href="https://www.myfrugalfitness.com/p/frugal-fitness.html" target="_blank">frugal fitness</a>, supplements, etc. With as big of a force, it reached healthy food businesses. What does it mean that the packaging is minimalistic though? Is it small with small letters and transparent plastic to decrease even the use of any color? Not really. Minimalism is driven by the phrase that ‘less is more’. Fewer calories, harmful ingredients and processing are reflected by the design of the box or bottle or label. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This way the customer subconsciously makes the connection that the less chaos on the outside of the box, the less chaos on the inside of it. Indeed, brands often avoid the use of too many colors and go for white backgrounds but the more important matter for the designers is to bring some negative space into the box to achieve a ‘clean’ effect. This is especially important for <a href="https://www.divinedesignseverett.com/2021/09/top-mlm-companies-best-network-marketing-businesses.html" target="_blank">top MLM businesses</a> to maximize online product sales, offline packaged goods sales, and downline team member recruiting appeal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Sourcing </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At the very beginning, healthy product options weren’t really products of its own but rather health-oriented versions of the ‘normal’ ones. They targeted customers with health problems who had to follow a specific diet. This way brands started to create sugar-free yogurts and fat-free cheese. And the packaging resembled the subtracted ingredients. A raspberry dessert, for example, which normally would have plenty of raspberries and colors on its cup, suddenly would only feature a few raspberries and white background. The design certainly wasn’t creative. Instead, it showed more informative characteristics. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Current Information </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Currently, the demand for healthy products constantly increases. Naturally, so does the supply. And with a growing supply, there is growing competition. Healthy food and <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2019/04/how-do-i-market-my-supplement-business-brand.html" target="_blank">dietary supplement brands</a> suddenly started to feel a lot more pressure as they needed to differentiate themselves not to lose its client to the new, emerging and often local producers. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Partly the differentiation is done through focusing on the quality of the products such as their nutritional value or lack of unnecessary calories and harmful ingredients. This is especially important with labeling <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2022/11/top-cbd-payment-processing-tactics.html" target="_blank">for CBD product sales</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">However, what happens when two products on the shelf feature more or less the same ingredients? After all, a pure and organic apple juice can’t differ much from the other pure and organic apple juice, right? In such a case, it is the price and the packaging design that make a difference and influence the customer’s final buying decision. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Brand Behavior </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, nowadays, healthy food and supplement producers try to show what they really sell instead of trying to show what they want to sell. Let’s put that into an example of a pear juice. A trend shows that a producer of a healthy, organic juice will rather try to include a picture of an imperfect pear <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2019/02/mind-blowing-food-packaging-ideas-restaurant-product-marketing.html" target="_blank">on the box</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Why? Because it is more genuine. Customers then see the brand as more real and relatable. Using an image of symmetrical, perfectly round and shiny pear would make the company look sort of fake. A health-oriented customer who puts of great value into its lifestyle and nutrition will wonder whether his or her juice is seriously made from only such perfect fruits. Generally, the reached conclusion will be: no, it is not. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The Importance Of Product Packaging</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In short, it is the minimalism and genuine feeling that are dominant trends in the healthy food market <a href="https://www.leanstartuplife.com/2019/04/shipping-home-business-packaging-delivery.html" target="_blank">packaging</a> and labeling. However, is it all? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Almost. The mentioned genuine feeling is additionally presented by easy access to the nutritious information. Brands no longer try to hide what is inside their <a href="http://www.buybestproductsnow.com" target="_blank">health food products</a>. Contrary, they are proud of the ingredients they use and want to shout to the world: choose me, I am the healthiest of all being sold!</span></div>Bootstrap Business Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309217762655257874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755135720627336941.post-52660599781940277442022-09-18T08:54:00.001-04:002022-09-18T08:54:42.614-04:00What To Know About Modern Marketing Strategy<div style="text-align: center;">

A lot more industries are looking to take to social media platforms to promote their businesses due to the target audience across social media being the largest in the world. Businesses can reach nearly every person around the world having social media and websites on their smartphones with <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/marketing-strategy/" target="_blank">digital marketing</a>. Combine that with the reach of websites, blogs, and email marketing and you can reach over half of the globe to be your customers. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">That is why you need to understand marketing and how to maximize your online business branding. If you don't, it could cost you your company and you will end up <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/why-you-need-good-bankruptcy-attorney/" target="_blank">filing for bankruptcy</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Types Of Marketing </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Digital marketing has been used to great effect across a lot of different platforms and especially across the different social media platforms where millions of us spent our spare time scrolling through them trying to keep occupied whilst having so much more free time due to the lockdowns. A lot of companies took to social media during the lockdowns or low budgets to post their adverts across the internet which got a lot of attention and new business with so many people passing through the different platforms and seeing the sponsored adverts which led many to visit the websites due to them being bored and curious to find something new to do with their time. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marketing is probably the most important thing for a new and old business due to it helping you to be a success or not with there being so much competition out there now and the market is very saturated, so it is more important than ever before to make sure that your marketing ideas are better than rival companies. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Marketer Costs </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.myfrugalfitness.com/2021/02/tips-improve-digital-marketing-strategy.html">Marketing</a> does not come cheap but all the businesses that have turned to it have seen a dramatic increase in sales and new customers signing up to the platforms. Over the past few years, there have been more companies than ever before turning to market to help boost their business and this is only set to continue to rise. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marketing costs depend a lot on your types of strategies, content channels, software (SaaS) programs, and advertising abilities. Content attribution is about what content works. Channel attribution is about where content works. Content is the ingredient, channel is the cooking method - and you need good ingredients and good methods to deliver.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Content Creation</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is reactive and proactive content creation. What kind of content creator are you? I view content creation through one of two lenses, reactive and proactive. A proactive creator is what we tend to think of when we think of content creation. You sit down at your keyboard or your notepad, the vast, empty expanse before you, and you start creating. You write, you draw, you paint, you compose - where there was nothing, now there is something. Your ideas come through pure, unblemished, exactly as you envisioned in your mind's eye. A reactive creator is someone who needs an input to do the same. Someone asks a question. A situation happens at work. A post passes by as you thumb through your feeds on your phone. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whatever it is, like a spark landing in a pile of tinder, once alight, your creative powers engage and content emerges from the ashes. To be clear, neither type of creator is better than the other. The end product is content, hopefully good. Each is just a different process for getting to the destination. And we can be either kind of creator on any given day. Some days, we're inspired, other days, we need something to bounce off of. But generally speaking, we tend to have a higher level of comfort with one or the other. Here's where this distinction matters: if the content creation situation is a mismatch for your predisposition. A proactive creator put in a reactive situation is going to be endlessly frustrated. They may say I don't want to be answering other people's questions or responding to X influencer's blog post! Just leave me alone and let me do my thing!. They would find always being reactive, never getting to channel their ideas purely to be incredibly aggravating. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">A reactive creator put in a proactive situation is going to be paralyzed by the empty page. They will say, What do you mean, just create something? Create what? What does the audience want to know about? What problems are we trying to solve? What is the angle here? The blank page, with nothing to light that spark, is less a canvas and more a prison. It's <a href="https://www.leanstartuplife.com/2022/09/what-is-streamlining-in-logistics.html" target="_blank">important to streamline</a> your content towards what works best for your business and skillset.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I lean very heavily towards reactive content creation. I thrive in Q&A, in answering questions, in reading about something that leads me down a rathole of interesting side explorations. It is where I'm happiest. When I create presentations or trainings for people, I always ask for that spark, that list of questions people have as a jumping off point. I need that mental racquetball match to bring out my best. Can I create from the blank page? Yes. Is it my best work? Not on the first attempt, no - and possibly never, because that is just not how I work best. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Put me on stage in a fireside chat with questions, or give me an hour of presentation time with only 20 minutes of presenting and 40 minutes of Q&A, and I will deliver my best work. I know this about myself, and to succeed, I try to put myself in the situations that work for me. What works for you? If you, or someone you manage, doesn't know what kind of creation they are best at, then you run the risk of languishing in the wrong environment</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Marketing Supply Chain</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is in your marketing supply chain? Something that occurred to me earlier this year was that marketing has a supply chain - and it is not the companies that make marketing technology. No, our supply chain as marketers are the suppliers that deliver the raw materials we work with to make our products. As marketers, our product is typically marketing or sales qualified leads that we give to our buyers - the sales process in our organization. Whether it’s an automated shopping cart <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/mistakes-avoid-run-ecommerce-site/" target="_blank">doing ecommerce</a> transactions or a sales representative calling leads or a retail store attracting walk-in prospective customers, our buyers take our outputs. And what’s our input? </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is the supply we buy? Audience attention. We purchase audiences’ attention from suppliers, and with our marketing operations, we refine that attention and pass the refined product down to our buyers. Sometimes we pay money outright for our raw materials, as we do when we pay to run ads. Other times, we’re bartering for our raw materials, as we do when we create content for organic search. Does that make sense so far? It aligns with what we call marketing operations, the execution of our marketing strategy to move our company forward and to serve the customer all along the customer’s journey to being a valued member of our community. Now, to be clear, this is not what the customer sees or experiences. This is what’s happening behind the scenes. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the questions people often ask about attribution analysis is, “So what? What does this tell us? What good is this information?” For example, here’s a recent attribution analysis from my website: Current attribution Click for a full size view When we talk about attribution reports, we often talk about what is working, how to know if our marketing is working. Consider this mindset shift though: An attribution report is an analysis of your marketing supply chain. Instead of telling you only about your marketing performance, an attribution analysis also tells you about the state and health of your marketing supply chain. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">More importantly your <a href="https://www.marketingmasterminds.org/p/blog.html" target="_blank">masterful marketing</a> may not be responsible for a supplier underperforming. For example, in the real world, if all your company’s goods are stuck on a cargo container ship stranded off the coast of Los Angeles, all the marketing and sales efforts in the world won’t restock your shelves. In fact, they may make things worth by creating demand for which you don’t have supply to fulfill. Likewise, when you look at your attribution reports, you are seeing what suppliers are sending you the attention of audiences. You see what your raw supplies look like - and with that mindset, you know which suppliers themselves might be in trouble if you’re not getting enough supply. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Paid Ads</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For paid ads, advertising networks have done a great job of convincing us as marketers that any problems are our fault - bad creative, bad setup, etc. And that’s certainly not out of the question; we have all see our share of <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2020/01/bad-ads-most-controversial-ad-campaigns-all-time-worst-commercials.html" target="_blank">bad ads</a>. But ad networks themselves don’t talk about the quality of their supply, of the quality of attention they sell to us - and yet that’s what an attribution report is also telling us. The next time you look at an attribution analysis, remember this key point: you are not just looking at your marketing performance.

While a firewall does not completely turn off the Internet, it allows you to restrict what your employees and other people in your business can access. By setting a limit on what each person can access and use, you can ensure that only work-related activities get through. </span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: x-large;">Information About A Firewall</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">Nowadays, many would ask </span><a href="https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/firewall" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">what is a firewall</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">. Firewalls act as barriers between your business and the Internet. They check for and block traffic that does not meet user-defined rules. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">A firewall prevents viruses, malware, and other malicious software from entering your network. In addition, firewalls protect your business against </span><a href="https://www.cpomagazine.com/cyber-security/cyber-attack-by-russian-hackers-disrupted-20-japanese-government-websites/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">hacking attacks</a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;"> by monitoring outgoing and incoming traffic.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">There are many types of firewalls. Some are hardware, and others are software. Hardware firewalls monitor network traffic and are most commonly known as packet-filtering firewalls. These firewalls monitor outgoing and incoming traffic and decide whether to allow or block certain packets. They also block malicious activity by blocking or allowing websites.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">Firewalls are a proven cyber security solution. But they have undergone significant changes over the years as technology and attack vectors have become more sophisticated. Therefore, it is important to know how to configure them for maximum effectiveness. </span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: x-large;">Functions Of A Firewall</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">Firewalls are the first line of defense against a multitude of threats. Properly configured firewalls enable the proper control of user permissions and ensure that only authorized administrators can change configurations. In addition, firewalls record changes so that you can identify unauthorized changes and break-ins.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">Firewalls work around the clock to protect your network, monitoring every single bit of code that comes through your network. They look for suspicious things and block them before they even reach your network. They also can learn which applications are malicious and block them. By limiting access to these sites, firewalls protect your network and your employees. Without a firewall, many businesses lose productivity because their employees do not have a reliable connection.</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: x-large;">Benefits Of Having A Firewall</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">A firewall for your business provides security by preventing hackers from accessing sensitive information. It also protects data from being sold to unauthorized parties. Your business can function more efficiently and avoid having your data stolen. Having a firewall also prevents hackers from accessing your personal information.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;">A firewall can also prevent viruses from spreading to your system. </span>Viruses<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a;"> can cause your business a great deal of downtime and cost you money. By installing a firewall, you can protect your network and prevent cyber attacks and other problems that can destroy your company.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">A firewall also helps you monitor incoming and outgoing traffic on your network. You can restrict access to non-business-related websites and prevent users from downloading malicious files.</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: x-large;">Cost Of A Firewall</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">When purchasing a firewall, you can find a range of prices. Some models can cost as much as PS50 a month or more. The price of a firewall depends on how much it can protect your business, how many users it will protect, and the features you need. Several options are available, so it is crucial to consider your needs before making a purchase.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">The hardware for a firewall can cost from $700 for a small business to over $10,000 for a large enterprise. The cost of a firewall depends on how many users you want to protect, the type of firewall you will need, and how complex your configurations are.</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: x-large;">Choosing A Firewall</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0e101a; font-size: large;">Firewalls are important to secure your network. They help ensure safe traffic within and outside the business. They can be complicated and require expert advice. You need to ask questions to get the best firewall for your business needs. A professional firewall provider will provide peace of mind and an outlet for questions and assistance in the future. Firewalls are important for network security and topologies, so choosing the right one for <a href="https://www.mikeschiemer.com/p/e-book.html">your business</a> is important.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: large;">A firewall should include anti-virus, spam filtering, DPI (deep packet inspection), and application filtering. You also need to consider the price and budget. While cost is important, you must also consider the damage a cyberattack could cause.</span></p>

<img alt="top website design trends today best web development" border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC2pVGffeOFii7_yuwZpup3HOAMkMytLGTlhl9qY43hq0-5kt_N5qB5UwhpXQnHoGYR1JPAtKpQOHJyqcJXotPdxacOejt5yQgsUKGEfIGJfUAyR9_ZajfFYImHbTbK1C5kdcGTJmP2Zk/s640/top-new-website-design-trends-webdev-trending.jpg" title="top website design trends today best web development" width="640" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Website design has evolved significantly over the years. Other than evolving aesthetic tastes, changes also occur with the technology since graphic and website design software companies are always looking for more innovative ways to improve the whole graphic design landscape. We are also entering a whole new level of digital technology and Web 3.0 is now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This has been a huge change for website developers through the years. Now top website design and digital marketing firms are busier with mobile-friendly and fully responsive designs together with the latest browsers which back up HTML5 and CSS3 web models. That's because website traffic from mobile devices exceeds desktop computer traffic and companies are focusing on a mobile-first web strategy. You will find lots of refreshing ideas from the <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/how-to-create-a-website-for-a-small-business-even-if-youre-a-technophobe/" target="_blank">web design and development</a> community every day so that even newfangled concepts are substituted or modified within just a matter of months. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Learn more about t<a href="https://www.inc.com/karen-tiber-leland/the-latest-web-design-trends-of-2020-thatll-take-your-website-to-next-level.html" target="_blank">op website design trends</a> and modern web optimization strategies below on the Mike Schiemer Marketing Blog!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Web Designs That Work And Wow</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The fact is, several of the strategies included in this article happen to be keepers in the <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescommunicationscouncil/2017/06/13/six-important-reasons-to-redesign-your-website/#7923a2887853" target="_blank">recent web design</a> scene, but as a result of active and diligent web development tastemakers, these old standbys have been refined greatly. Currently there are a great deal of user interfaces and open source projects available on the internet as free downloads. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">As a result of this freedom, rising designers can develop their creative endeavor and be kept up to date with booming web design trends that are <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/" target="_blank">building better businesses</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Listed below are this year’s top 12 most relevant trends in web development and website design whether you use <a href="https://www.bootstrapbusinesses.com/" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a>, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, Blogger, Shopify, or a custom site: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1. Minimalism And Whitespace </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They are considered as two of the old guards of <a href="https://thenextweb.com/adobe-fundamentals/2019/12/20/10-web-design-trends-that-will-dominate-your-screen-in-2020/" target="_blank">web design</a> but has subsequently evolved to agree with today’s fresh ideas. A number of web developers use whitespace and minimalism in general to help make the significant content stand out and let users look into nothing but the site’s content. In addition, even “congested” internet sites can use whitespace in smaller sized portions to lighten and provide room. Whitespace isn't necessarily white though since dark layouts still make the most of white space. These are the portions of a site where you set aside some room to act as some form of “breathing space” for the users. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The use of site whitespace may embody larger sized features on a page like icons, buttons or screenshots. The application of this element can certainly make content or text easier to read and it will <a href="https://neilpatel.com/blog/web-design-conversions/" target="_blank">stop users from pogo-sticking and clicking on competing websites</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>2. A Cleaner Source Code </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Coding times today are already trimmed down substantially, thanks to the release of more CSS frameworks on <a href="http://www.discountsdomains.com/" target="_blank">discount domain names</a>. This shows that a Phoenix website designer can now come up with a 2-column or even 3-column site layout within minutes as long as he or she is aided by the appropriate applications required for the job. What's more, there is less HTML markup needed to get the same results. Making internet sites on cleaner source codes denotes that what you are working on will be tons more easy and smaller in size. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">This is excellent news for a designer because smaller files mean quicker loading period. Additionally, updating the layout can be undertook in minutes devoid of the added effort. Online there are actually <a href="https://www.myfrugalfitness.com/2020/01/things-consider-change-website-host-companies.html" target="_blank">web</a> developer communities, try them out and search for superb materials and references to start building clean, understandable source codes for your sites. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>3. Natural Design Aspects </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">CSS3 specs have made plenty of changes in <a href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/best-website-designs-list" target="_blank">modern web design</a>. Having said that even the simplest CSS3 attributes have been shaping the rendering of natural design for webpage layouts. These designs are background gradients with an adaptable container, box shadows and rounded corners. Years ago, these styles discussed could have needed images. You can generate a mock-up within a browser by employing only CSS3 to make those effects. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>4. Mobile-Friendly Website Designs </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The rise of smartphones have encouraged web developers to “start small.” This means you can begin modeling a site layout from a mobile and then go higher. Pro tip, you could create the most important design elements first after which quickly pull them into the mobile layout. If they don’t compliment at all, you might have to drop a handful of essentials. At the same time you can strategize how your layout will look as the window gets more expansive. Your layout will have adequate room to contain a sidebar and other page aspects. Make sure site <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2020/01/heightism-workplace-discrimination-shorter-men-career-lower-pay.html" target="_blank">height</a> and width pixels are fully responsive to different mobile devices, screen sizes, and browsers to keep user experience and views correct.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>5. Infinite Scrolling </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Top social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest have begun applying the use of infinite scroll effects on dashboards, user feeds and timelines. However there are designers around who have debated the goal of the infinite page scroll. Certainly it presents a easier interface use without all the clicking to reload a page but then users will have a difficult time making permalinks for a variety of <a href="https://www.marketingmasterminds.org/2018/10/business-brand-benefits-wide-reaching-web-presence-website.html" target="_blank">business webpages</a>. So infinite scrolling isn't always the best option for every business website, but something worth considering.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>6. Larger Images </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Large photo backgrounds are on an upswing, and it is not going to go away soon. These day there are lots of sites and personal portfolio pages carrying out this specific style. Site layouts are usually modified to express emotion or feeling in line with the background style and its shades. Big images are not basically for every person, but it can work if the site master has plenty of space. Furthermore, the most significant issue with this style is placing content into the layout in which it could still be understandable. This is why big picture backgrounds usually work for agencies and landing pages. It is also the go-to style for personal websites and design portfolios to build a better connection with the visitors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Photos of immense size are a fantastic way to further display your interests be it designs, vectors and photography. Throughout the course of this year, designers will be occupied talking about and providing fresh evolution in design and fresher ideas on the table. The best way to get updated with trends is to be hands-on with them. Stop by online communities, speak to other designers worldwide and get active with tutorials. You can even talk to a superb professional web designer or graphic artist for ideas you could develop in your individual site. Just make sure you compress the images if possible and when possible to reduce website loading time, which can hurt user experience and SEO, according to the <a href="https://www.mikeschiemer.com/p/schiemer.html" target="_blank">Schiemers</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>7. All Device Support</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As the difference in number of visitors using desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, notebooks and tablets is reducing day by day, websites that support all devices without losing any significant structural or style features are being widely developed now. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Think about the target audience of your website. If you have an investing tips website and are targeting older adults, you want to make sure it works well on desktop and with slower internet connections due to potentially older users.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>8. Large Or Page Full Image Backgrounds</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Websites that require very good presentation, style and scrolling effects are now using very large image backgrounds. Once limited to websites related to décor and beauty products, this feature is now very widely followed for almost every type of website. For example, if your website was about <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2018/03/mike-schiemer-motivational-quotes-entrepreneur-michael-j-schiemer.html" target="_blank">Mike Schiemer's net worth</a> of $1 million USD, you would want a large or full page image of <a href="https://www.michaelschiemer.com/" target="_blank">Mike Schiemer</a> and his business properties.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>9. Bold And Contrasting Colors </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The black & white or more precisely the blue & while era of internet is now over as we are entering Web 3. Now we see websites that are much more colorful and uses an artistic combination of bold and contrasting colors with white or image backgrounds. Interestingly the use of button-like icons and gradient icons are also getting replaced by clear and simple icons that are easily noticeable on any device. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>10. Minimal Web Design </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now designers are avoiding flooding of pages, especially home page, with many gadgets, text boxes, and images. Only the core product/service/theme is highlighted in Web3. Also, innovative ideas, animations and images are used more to replace very descriptive text content. Fixed Header Bars and Vertical Navigation: Fixed navigation bars save time of the visitors especially when using devices that are comparatively difficult to scroll. Also, fixed bars can create a site-wide graphic effect which can be very helpful for brand building. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>11. Parallax Scrolling </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The CSS3 features help designers to create a <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2019/12/connection-between-seo-parallax-scrolling-website-design.html" target="_blank">parallax scrolling website</a> effect where the background scrolls slower than the foreground. This creates a marvelous animation effect. Infinite Scrolling: Continuously loading content into the page as the visitor scrolls down saves time of the visitor and help him stay on the site for much longer period. Also, as the page is loaded continuously, visitors can enjoy better reading and socialization effect. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>12. Typography And Large Text </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now designers extend their imagination into creating beautiful web typography with excellent font combinations. Designers no longer fully depend on classic fonts and display styles. And it's now common to use very large text that can almost fill the computer screen, depending on what you are trying to accomplish of course. This is also important when it comes to your website call-to-action, conversion rate, and sales funnels when you are <a href="https://www.whatslly.com/?utm_source=bl&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=mk&utm_content=[Mike_Schiemer_Marketing]" target="_blank">connecting WhatsApp and Salesforce for sales and customer service</a>. The large typography / text can help clarify what you want the website visitor to do depending on where they are in the sales journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Stay Speedy And Secure</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Along with the top twelve website design trends today listed above, there are two other primary concerns that you need for website success. First off, your website needs to load fast, especially on mobile devices. It is an increasingly influential factor for Google when it comes to ranking your pages on search results. In fact, soon Google may issue warnings about websites that are especially slow to load. Secondly, your website needs to be secure with an SSL certificate, or it will lose trust with visitors and Google. A secure website will greatly increase the net worth of your online and offline business and <a href="https://moz.com/blog/seo-tips-https-ssl" target="_blank">boost SEO</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Conclusion: Keep Your Web Design To Date</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Personal, corporate, socialization and business websites are now becoming more and more visitor friendly by incorporating new features. The innovations of faster computers, smartphones, portable devices, highly supporting web browsers, e-commerce options, social life on web and faster internet connections have facilitated this evolution process. Now browsing the web and living on the web is far more simple and beautiful.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Email marketing may not have the cutting edge, high-tech appeal of some of the other modern marketing tactics. But when done right, email marketing for business professionals can still be incredibly effective. In order to build a productive email campaign, business professionals should begin by examining the needs of their audience. A broad-based “spray and pray” approach is the quickest way to burn through your hard-earned email list. On the other hand, highly targeted value-add communications will help you build trust, drive referrals, and stay connected to your prospects and clients. Read on for some top email marketing tactics and major mistakes to avoid making.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, I fortunately participated in a lively discussion with a thought leadership group comprised of forwarding thinking, young marketing experts. The topic eventually turned to the effectiveness of email marketing for financial advisors. Although opinions differed greatly on the types of campaigns financial advisors should leverage, there was one thing we could all agree on: Email marketing, when done correctly, is widely effective. But what does that mean for financial advisor email marketing? Email has certainly become a standard mode of communicating with clients and prospects, but it is overused? Do people care about the emails they get from a financial professional? Isn’t newsletter marketing dead? And, most importantly, should you make it easy on yourself and sign up for one of those services that will generate and send marketing emails for you? As with many things marketing, getting hard numbers and data can make the difference between a great strategic decision and a dead-end money pit. So, let’s look at some numbers. According to CampaignMonitor data for 2020, average email open rates across surveyed industries is about 18%. Financial services enjoy a slightly more favorable open rate than the average (18.5%). No surprise here: It’s better to have prospects opt into your campaign. The same resource suggests that open rates for permission-based campaigns (i.e. ones where a prospect or a client has given you permission to email them) range between 30% and 40%. That’s a significant upgrade! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">According to <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2014/07/hubspot-academy-inbound-certification.html" target="_blank">HubSpot</a>, 99% of people check their email at least once a day. That means you have a good chance of your prospect or client seeing your message when it comes in (as long as it doesn’t get caught by the spam filters). Campaign Monitor supplements that stat: More than 50% of their survey respondents check their personal email account more than 10 times a day, and it is by far their preferred way to receive updates from brands. Finally, marketers who use segmented campaigns note as much as a 760% increase in revenue acccording to CampaignMonitor reports. So, the data would suggest that the optimal combination for successful financial advisor email marketing should look like this: Ask for permission, send regular emails, make your messaging relevant for the recipient. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Which sounds like common sense. As always, the devil’s in the detail. And so, I wanted to share with you some common questions and specific best practices for financial advisor email marketing campaigns. These are the types of campaigns that a firm of any size can use with success. Campaigns can be super-simple, or you could go all out and have them professionally designed to suit your style. So, don’t feel that email marketing isn’t for you unless you have a big budget. Should financial advisors build an email list — or buy one? Most advisors I know would prefer to do things in the most efficient way possible. From that perspective, one might imagine that buying a list of (ideally) pre-screened prospects from a data company would be faster and better than building your own list through a sign-up form on your website. The reality is a bit more complicated. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First off, the CAN SPAM Act of 2003 requires anyone who purchases an email list with a commercial purpose to abide by certain rules. While those rules do not include obtaining explicit permission from the individuals on the list, they do require accurate transmission information (i.e. who the email is from), non-deceptive subject headings, a clear identification that the message is an advertisement, and an opt-out provision that gives the recipient a choice about whether they wish to receive future emails from you. If you are interested in a deeper dive into this subject, this FAQ article has good information. In summary, though, as long as you follow those requirements, you can send emails until the recipient opts out — at least in theory. In practice, buying a list of emails exposes you to additional risks. There’s a risk that the list was assembled through shady or outright illegal means (such as address harvesting or dictionary attacks). Plus, there’s an (admittedly small) chance that someone on the list has already opted out of receiving emails from you before you purchased the list. Either one of those risks can expose you to fines under the CAM SPAM Act. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What exactly is permission in this context? It could be implicit permission in the case of email recipients who already have a relationship with you (through doing business together, being acquainted socially, or being a part of the same charity or club). Or, it could be explicit permission, like when a prospect types in an email address to download a whitepaper or a checklist. What about “renting” an email list? There is another practice in the industry that’s known as “renting a list”. When you “rent” someone’s email list, they email their list of contacts on your behalf. You don’t get to see any of the email addresses. Think of it as buying an ad that someone will share with their list for a fee. Is “renting” a list better than “buying” an email marketing list? Not necessarily. It’s true that the risks are different for email marketing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For one, even if you are merely renting a list, the recipients did not give you permission. The reader is not expecting an email from you, so they may feel annoyed and sold to — not the mindset you need to convert skeptics into clients. And then there is the elephant in the room. At the end of the day, the provider of the list (whether they sell it or rent it) is in the business of selling or renting lists. It’s in their best interest to sell / rent a list as much as they can to maximize their profit. That leads to the people on the list getting spammed with a high volume of unexpected and unsolicited offers. Your offer can get lost among them. You may also experience a high degree of unsubscribes, bounces, and spam complaints. All of that adds up to a low ROI. Bottom line: Buying or renting an email list may seem like an inexpensive shortcut to reaching more prospects. In reality, doing this can negatively affect the deliverability of the emails you send to legitimate prospects, spoil your reputation, and result in a poor ROI. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The names on any list you might buy or rent are likely to be “burned out” by too much spam. Think about it… If you spent years building a solid list of people who had opted into getting messages from you, would you sell it for just cents per email address? So, if a list is available for sale, it’s probably not the high-quality goldmine that the list company would have you believe. What should you do instead? Build your own list by having people opt into getting emails from you. Yes, a home-grown email list takes time to develop and nurture. However, doing this will keep you on the right side of the anti-spam rules — and it will be much more effective in terms of ROI and long-term practice growth potential. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Give your audience plenty of opportunities to subscribe to your emails by adding a form to several locations on your website. Limit the volume of data you collect up front (first name and email address are usually enough to get started). In other words, make it very easy for them to say “yes” and join the list. Best practices for financial advisor email marketing So, you’ve developed a list of emails from prospects or clients. How can you build an email marketing campaign that will nurture those relationships? Here are some ideas that can work well for financial advisors. 1) The financial advisor newsletter is alive! Believe it or not, the tried-and-true newsletter format is still an effective way of establishing an ongoing communication cadence with your clients and prospects. Most financial advice firms have transitioned the newsletter from the traditional hard-copy/printed format to digital. A digital newsletter is inexpensive and relatively simple to pull together. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Even if you choose to invest in a professional layout template, you get to reuse it multiple times, which can lead to a solid ROI. If you are considering adding a newsletter (or if you have one and are wondering if you set it up the right way), here are 5 best practices that can make it or break a financial advisor newsletter. Choose a frequency and stick to it. You may not think of it this way, but a newsletter can become an important component of building trust with the prospects who don’t yet know you. If you promise them a monthly newsletter, be sure to deliver a monthly newsletter. Generally, it’s better to pick a lower frequency that’s sustainable for you — than to promise a weekly communication and fail to keep it up. Create a central theme and a structure for your newsletter. Nothing wrecks your readership-bounce-rate like a mailer that’s disorganized or hard to follow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You might brainstorm some re-usable topic categories that would strike a chord with your audience (perhaps highlighting an upcoming decision or action deadline, sharing a budgeting tip, a market performance update, a summary and takeaways from a recent book you’ve read, or a “get to know” section to present profiles / updates from team members). Make a clear path for someone to opt-out. The number one sin when executing a digital newsletter campaign is trapping your audience in a slow and painful “death by email” spiral. Nothing deteriorates your brand faster than spamming disengaged customers. Give your readers a clear off-ramp. Your newsletter will be better for it. At the very worst, you will know that your messaging needs to be refined based on an alarming rate of unsubscribes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Give your images alt tags. Email clients (such as Outlook, Apple Mail, or Gmail) can be a tricky beast, and you never know what settings your recipient has enabled. If you are trying to spotlight a project, or if you have invested time in creating a beautiful layout, you surely want your recipients to see it! Giving an image an alt tag will allow alternative text to appear if the image doesn’t load. Also, be sure to test the formatting of your newsletter to ensure it will display right across different platforms. Reduce load times. Be sure to optimize high-quality images for digital viewing. Compress your images to maintain quality while reducing long email load times. Your clients and prospects are experiencing heavy information overload. You have just 1-2 seconds to grab a prospect’s attention. Don’t allow long load times on your emails to sabotage your chance! Promote your newsletter through your social media. Each time your send a newsletter, share one point on your social media profiles — and encourage your followers to subscribe to the list. This step takes virtually no time or effort — and can seamlessly deliver more eager subscribers. 2) Drip sequences can work, too. After a prospect has signed up for a lead magnet (such as a report, a white paper, or a checklist), some advisors follow up on the initial delivery with a short series of emails (something known as a drip sequence). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The purpose of a drip email sequence is to build trust, deliver value, and give the prospect an opportunity to take the next step in the relationship if he or she is ready. Here are some best practices for financial advisor email drip sequences. Segment your prospects. Relevance is the key factor that can make the difference between an email that’s perceived as valuable — and one that’s promptly sent to trash. If you reach out to different categories of clients or prospects, make sure that you have different drip sequences to suit their needs. In other words, pre-retirees and business owners should get different emails. This ties into developing your value proposition as a financial advisor; see this article for more tactical advice on that. Make sure that every email in the sequence adds value. The litmus test I like to use is whether my target audience is likely to save the email, print it out for reference, or forward it to someone they know. If the answer is “probably not”, then you need a different email — or you risk burning out your new subscriber quickly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Use storytelling techniques to get the reader’s attention. Remember, they don’t know much about you yet. Stories are a powerful tool for connection and trust-building. A well-chosen and well-told story can immerse your prospect into what it’s like to work with you. Think of personal stories that will give your reader a glimpse into your personality, expertise, and experience. There are many great books about effective story structure, and this topic alone could make for a whole other blog post. For now, keep in mind that a story is most effective when you can clearly define a challenge or the stakes, walk the reader through several different emotions, and provide closure. Subject lines matter, a lot. You may spend a couple of hours refining your email to be just right, but if you don’t have an intriguing subject line, chances are that your open rates will be disappointingly low. According to a digital marketing consulting company Convince &amp; Convert, 35% of email recipients open an email based on the subject line alone. So, invest some time to come up with a subject line that piques the reader’s interest and gives them the reason to click “open”. Watch your open rates and unsubscribes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One or two people dropping off the list is not a big indicator, but if the pattern indicates that a significant percentage of subscribers opts out of your list on email # 3, perhaps you should reassess that specific email. 3) Use email to pre-announce events Are you planning to attend or host a local event? Email is an excellent tool to inform prospects and clients about it. If you are going to a local event and it’s open to the public, let your readers know and invite them to join you. A targeted email blast can allow you to begin networking at an event before it ever starts. Before promoting your own event, keep these best practices in mind. Give your readers a reason to care about the event. Just because you have decided to host an educational seminar, a wine night, or an art auction isn’t enough to entice a prospect to show up. You need to let them know why they can’t afford to miss it. Highlight future takeaways. If your key selling point is raising money for a charity or having fun, focus on that. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Don’t make your audience wonder why they should go. Tailor the event to your audience. This is another opportunity to segment your list and really think about what each client / prospect set would value most. A generic workshop may not be exciting enough to entice participation. It may be better to host two smaller, highly targeted events that will be well-attended. Make your email actionable. It’s not enough that the client or prospect learns about the event. Give them a specific next step. Perhaps they can register for the event or email the office for details. An email without an action will likely be forgotten quickly. Deploy a responsive design. Fast forward to the day of the event, and there’s a good chance that your client will be using their smartphone to refer back to the email you sent them with all the logistics. If you want to <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2020/02/mike-bloomberg-quotes.html" target="_blank">be successful like Mike Bloomberg</a>, then you will need to practice these tips.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Plan ahead and make sure that your email is optimized for mobile viewing! Financial advisor <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/why-email-marketing-is-still-an-important-part-of-your-digital-strategy/" target="_blank">email marketing</a>: Round-up of mistakes to avoid To close this take on the subject of financial advisor email marketing, here are some common mistakes I have seen — and ways to avoid them. Unclear or misleading subject lines. It’s uncommon for financial advisors to use an outright misleading subject line, although it does happen sometimes. The more common mistake I see is choosing a subject line that’s boring, not sufficiently descriptive, or repetitive. Think of your subject line as a movie trailer: Make the recipient want to open it! Missing the mark on content. Not every member of your audience is interested in the same content. So, segment your list and make different content streams that are relevant to your readership. Your CRM system should allow you to use tags to facilitate this. And remember, whatever content strategy you start with is just a hypothesis! Be ready to monitor the response from your audience (open rates, link clicks, other interaction with content) — and adapt accordingly. One-way communication. Have you ever received an email from a “do not reply” email address? This type of tactic comes off as impersonal. It does nothing to encourage interaction. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When businesses send out mailers from a “do not reply” address, it tells the audience that it doesn’t care to have a reciprocal conversation. Let your subscribers and followers know that you are receptive to feedback — and you will be amazed at how active your subscribers will become. Too many links, no clear call-to-action. Backlinks to important content and resources can be helpful and convenient for readers. And as a thoughtful content curator, it is important to tread carefully with <a href="https://www.mikeschiemer.com/2019/12/blogger-outreach-services-boost-business-seo-backlinks.html">linkbuilding</a>! Too many links can distract the reader from more important content. Don’t try to overly stuff your email blasts with information. Sometimes less is more. Instead, choose a point of focus — and optimize your email marketing to drive viewers to a clear call-to-action. Email marketing still provides business professionals with a consistently high ROI!</span>Bootstrap Business Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309217762655257874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755135720627336941.post-8148564280164750922020-12-22T11:42:00.000-05:002020-04-25T20:29:08.731-04:00Reasons Businesses Need New Modern Website Design<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to small business branding and marketing, it can be argued that nothing is more important than a high quality website. For the relatively low investment price, there's nothing else that can be such a game-changer for your company. A business website, or a better one, can make or break your business. The challenging part is finding an experienced, innovative, and affordable web design company to work with. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Whether you just need simple mobile websites or a huge custom-made site, they have the customized solution you need.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what you'll need for your small business website and what you'll get in more detail:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Fully Responsive & Mobile Friendly</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">More than half of all searches and website traffic now take place on mobile devices over desktop computers. This staggering statistic became a reality over the past couple years and it has had a major impact on the web developer world. All websites should be fully responsive for all smartphones, tablets, desktops and browsers or you'll end up losing customers. Fully-responsive blogs and websites are key because then you really only have to edit a single website for it to take effect on both desktop and mobile. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Search Engine Optimized (SEO) Website</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can have the greatest website in the world, but it won't matter if nobody can find it. Aside from advertising options like social media marketing and email marketing, that's where search engine optimization (SEO) really comes into play. The growing number of blogger outreach services and SEO agencies is proof of the importance of search engine optimization for Google and other major search engines. You need to make sure that your website is designed with optimal Google search results in mind to generate substantial organic traffic. That means your site needs optimized keywords, text, images, videos, links, and user experience among countless other factors. There are hundreds of Google ranking factors so you need to try and be as compliant as possible. Paid traffic can be very expensive, so you want to ensure that your site can provide you with free traffic for years to come. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Easy To Update Website</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A small business website can become a detriment if it takes a lot of time, money, or expertise to make updates. You need to be able to make edits or improvements in a matter of minutes or hours, not days or weeks. This applies to product sales, specials, holiday hours, blog posts, inventory or schedules just to name a few potential variables. Just imagine if you found a major typo on your website (a decimal point in the wrong place for example) or the wrong product listing and it ended up costing you thousands of dollars because you couldn't change it in time. Or maybe you worked for hours on a compelling blog post that you know will help thousands of readers (including social media marketing influencers) and convert hundreds of visitors into leads or customers. Your business website needs to be able to make agile updates. It should be a high quality business website like Bootstrap Business.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Web Hosting Security</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's very important to have a secure host for your website to prevent it from getting hacked by cyber criminals, and to back up all of your information if needed. You don't want to leave your website in the hands of just any host after putting in all of that time, effort, and money. Cyber security and data protection are now a top priority after all of the highly publicized hacks at top corporations. You should also consider a high-quality internet service provider that provides additional speed and online security. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Marketing has changed a lot over the last couple of decades. With email marketing open rates dipping down to about 10% - 25% or lower, most businesses need to try more innovative ways to reach their customers. By using new marketing strategies and taking advantage of popular tech innovations, businesses are able to keep customers updated. Consider the following four ideas when trying to replace email marketing. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Use PPC Ads </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">When making the shift from using email newsletters to marketing through other avenues, businesses should use PPC or pay-per-click ads like Google Ads (formerly AdWords). This type of advertising allows businesses to purchase ads that will be listed within search engine results. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When consumers search for relevant keywords, these PPC ads will show up alongside the regular search results, usually near the top on Google. Businesses only pay for the percentage of ads that are clicked on. Send SMS Updates When it comes to SMS marketing, businesses can expect to see open rates as high as 95%. This incredibly high open rate means businesses are able to reach their audience much more effectively through text messages. With the help of SMS services for small business, companies are able to guarantee that more of their customers will open, read, and act on the information. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Use Social Media Marketing </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">With around 3.5 billion people on social media, businesses that use social media marketing are able to expand their reach in ways they can’t with email marketing. This is especially true when you run a <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2018/10/top-10-mlm-companies-network-marketing.html" target="_blank">best network marketing business in 2020</a> that needs major promotion on social media marketing platforms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">By focusing their efforts on social media campaigns for Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and similar platforms, businesses are able to actively engage with interested users. With regular posts, DM’s, and sponsored ads, businesses are able to target their audience through all forms of social media. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Create a Business App </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Most brands today are hopping on the trend of developing an app. While customers have to download and use the app, most brands find that having a mobile app helps to improve brand recognition, build customer loyalty, foster customer engagement, and stand out from the competition. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When customers, even from an <a href="https://bestnetworkmarketingbusiness.com/valentus-coffee-best-mlm-in-denmark/" target="_blank">Iranian network marketing business</a>, might otherwise not open an email after receiving an email notification, many businesses find that customers are more likely to open a brand’s app after receiving a notification. While still used in some circles, email marketing isn’t quite as effective as it used to be in the past. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Modernize Marketing</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">By turning to more effective marketing techniques, businesses no longer have to worry about how to entice their customers to open their emails.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">So what is Digital marketing and why should your new startup utilize it? You’ve probably heard of digital / online / internet marketing many times in the last couple of decades. But if you’re reading this, you probably aren't exactly an expert. And that’s alright, we all start somewhere. The bad news is, digital marketing is extremely complex – the good news is, digital marketing doesn’t have to be complicated. People send their entire lives mastering just one aspect of digital marketing, and its always changing – but you can learn it without your head spinning if you know where to start and stay focused. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let’s start with a simple definition of digital marketing: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Digital marketing, AKA online marketing or internet marketing, is any activity carried out with the intention of bringing more of your ideal customer to your business using the internet. Essentially, whether you’re simply getting someone’s attention or asking them to buy from you it’s digital marketing (if done over the internet). Online Marketing for Dummies: The Primary Marketing Channels A good internet marketing for dummies article wouldn’t be complete without a proper list of the main methods (we call them marketing channels) you can utilize to bring more people to your business: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Social Media Marketing Content Marketing Pay-per-click Advertising Email Marketing Affiliate Marketing Each of these marketing channels goes deep – and it can be difficult to personally master more than one. We recommend you learn a bit about each, and then find digital marketing specialists in each discipline to help your journey. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once we go through these primary channels, you should have a clearer picture of what a comprehensive digital marketing strategy looks like. Let’s go. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) SEO is the art of improving your websites visibility in Google. No doubt you have spent a lot of time, energy &amp; money becoming a trusted and informed and authoritative leader in your industry in the real world, SEO is how you do that all over again but for Google. Whats the point? Well, when you are seen as the expert, and people are aware that you exist, you get a lot of business. This is true in real life &amp; in Google. One of the primary goals of SEO should be to bring new people to your business who have a specific problem or need that your business solves. Specifically, these would be people looking for a solution you provide, but they don’t know about you – yet. For example, let’s say you provide marketing services in Los Angeles, CA and you want to acquire more clients. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A good SEO campaign would help your business show up in front of people who know they need marketing services, they live in Los Angeles, and they want to choose a provider. Are they going to search for your business by name? No. Because they don’t know you exist yet. They are going to search using the words they know: For example, they might search for “internet marketing company in Los Angeles”. This is called a Keyword. Using some nifty SEO Tools, we can see that this “keyword” has a “search volume” of 300 – that means this phrase is typed into Google 300 times a month – that’s alot of people needing marketing! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want those 300 searchers a month to consider your business as a potential provider of the solution to their problems – then you need to have good SEO. How does SEO work? It is broken down into 4 main categories: On-Page SEO Off-Page SEO Technical SEO Content SEO On-page SEO is the practice of optimizing your website pages for maximum SEO impact – things like ensuring you have proper HTML markup on your content (if gives you more rankings push) keyword optimized titles, multimedia, schema etc. Off-page SEO consists primarily of creating backlinks. In simple terms, these are links that live another website but send the person who clicks on them from where they are to where you are. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can think of this like other websites on the internet giving you a “referral” or a “vote” or “vouching” for you – they are effectively telling Google and the general public “we recommend you go over here and check out this website Technical SEO has to do with optimizing things on your website so that Google can best understand, interpret &amp; display information from your site. This can get very technical even to explain but it comprises things like site structure, page speed, code optimization, robots.txt, keyword cannibalization, etc. Content SEO is about optimizing individual pieces of content on your website, and the structure of how they all relate to each other, to give your website the best chance of being seen by Google as an authority on the topics you cover. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Consider this SEO’s cousin, because this marketing channel also gets you results on the SERP (search engine result pages). Only, this cousin charges money to show your website. The primary way SEM works is through a method called Pay Per Click advertising (PPC) Pay per click means that you literally pay every time someone clicks on your link. Where do you show up? Well, whatever platform you want to show up on. You start by heading to one of the big boys where everyone hangs out (Google, Facebook, Bing, Yelp, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, you pay them to prominently display your website or offer whenever someone searches for one of the products/services you sell (or really anything you want to pay for) – BUT you only pay them when a person clicks on your result. The amount you have to spend to accomplish this varies on competition. You can see the results of SEM on the search engine result page with the “Ad” or “Ads” icon next to it. Paid advertising is typically more expensive than other types of digital marketing – but it gets results FAST. If you need new sales ASAP, paid ads is the way to go. Social Media Marketing By now everyone knows about social media – and using it to grow your business is really what social media marketing is. We’re talking about being active on the social channels where your ideal customers are – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Snapchat, Pinterest, Quora, etc. There’s no denying that social media helps boost brand awareness and sales – pretty much everyone is spending a large portion of their day (and their entire time standing in lines) on social media. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One key takeaway for a successful social media marketing campaign is to provide the right type of content for the platform – for instance, people typically don’t like long form content on Facebook, but will consume long videos on YouTube. Winning at social media marketing means: Consistently creating relevant content for each platform Respond to your audience Provide value Be patient Content Marketing Content marketing is all about providing valuable information to your audience in the form of consumable content. Consider the purpose of the content on your product/service pages, the posts you publish on your blog, and even the articles you publish on other websites that help position you as an expert in your industry/niche. These are all examples of content marketing (and optimization). For example, let’s say you are a tax consultancy and don’t have the budget for a huge brand presence. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A smart content marketing move can be publishing an article titled “10 Common Tax Mistakes that Can Cost You Dearly.” A blog post like this can drive a significant amount of people (potential clients) to your website without having to pay for ads. Creating content that is valuable to your audience is an amazing way to get started in digital marketing. <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2019/11/how-to-combine-seo-ppc-boost-website-traffic-fast.html" target="_blank">Pay-per-click</a> (PPC) aka Paid Advertising As obvious from the name, Pay Per Click means you will pay for every click you get on your ad. Yes, it is similar to search engine marketing. But remember that PPC is just one of the many types of SEM (aka advertising). Facebook and Google Ads are by far the biggest platforms for Paid advertising. These platforms allow you to target your ideal buyer and show them ads. Facebook’s advertising lets you get REALLY specific with targeting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I’m sure you’ve heard of this before from Brexit, Cambridge Analytica, the Donald Trump Presidential Campaign, etc. For example, you can show your ads to “men in Los Angeles age 24-34 who like Quentin Tarantino.” Your marketing simply cannot be this focused in the “physical world”. Any advertising for dummies book, course or article you read will show you the power of ads. And in the online world, ads are extremely precise and very powerful. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.mikeschiemer.com/2019/12/email-marketing-strategies-business-professionals.html">Email marketing</a> came long before all other channels and platforms you’ve read in this online marketing for dummies post thus far – but it’s still here – and it’s hugely important. Many entrepreneurs and marketers consider their email list to be their most valuable business asset. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Email marketing is all about communicating directly with your target audience. It helps you retain long-term relationships, not just in conducting transacting communications. For example, you can what’s called a “drip campaign”. These are automated email marketing campaigns that follow up with users automatically. Write them once, and they keep working for years to come. There are plenty of email marketing tools to help you out with your campaigns and monetize your email list. Affiliate Marketing Affiliate marketing is basically getting paid by a company for referring people to their product. You see it all the time. Many big box retailers have affiliate programs – they pay you for helping them make sales. When a referral from you buys a product from the company you are an “affiliate” of, you get paid. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Amazon is the perfect example. After signing up for their affiliate program you get a link for all their product pages, and will get paid 3-10% on things that they buy. You can put affiliate links in your blog posts, emails, on your social media, or send them directly to friends you think might be interested. If they click on the link and buy the product, the company you are an affiliate of pays you a nice little commission. Many people have made this their main business and are earning an insane amount of money through this. It’s a great way to get started making money online if you don’t have your own business. Just make sure that you optimize customer experience throughout the customer journey by <a href="https://www.whatslly.com/?utm_source=bl&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=mk&utm_content=[Mike_Schiemer_Marketing]" target="_blank"><b>connecting WhatsApp and Salesforce for sales and customer service</b></a>. This will make sure the sales funnel process smoother for everyone and more profitable for your business.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">So what’s next? </span><span style="font-size: large;">Now you have a basic understanding of <a href="https://www.mikeschiemer.com/2019/12/email-marketing-strategies-business-professionals.html">online marketing</a> and digital advertising. Of course, there’s a lot more to be said about the various marketing channels discussed here. But for now, you’ve built a solid base of knowledge. So, which one of the channels you learned in this online marketing for dummies article will you use? There’s no one right answer, and you’ll probably want to use several of these in tandem to personalize your marketing campaign to suit your business brand needs.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Savvy small businesses have embraced digital technology in a big way. Social networks and pictures have become the core elements of the fashion companies’ stratagems. Social media platforms in general and particularly, Instagram has become an integral part of their social marketing strategy. Instagram is a crucial platform for sales and marketing of fashion brands especially, the smaller brands. However, the smaller fashion brands have yet to achieve a reasonable level of mastery over this powerful social media platform. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Instagram is inherently best-suited to the creations of the fashion world. The fashion brands are thriving on Instagram as they focus on having the community and visual dimensions that are integral to this versatile platform. We find that purchases are actually linked to a distinctive sense of belonging to a particular group, or for imitating the celebrities or stars. Moreover, fashion brands have realized the fact that Instagram is unmatched as a way of reaching millennials. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">A recent study notes that around 90 % of the users on Instagram were supposed to be less than 35 years of age. The millennials are loyal followers of the different social media platforms and they develop a different kind of a relationship with the brands. They focus more on the usage as compared to the possession. Moreover, they have shown that they are really sensitive to the stunning beauty and power of pictures. Another characteristic of millennials is the fact that they desire to have things instantly, especially the <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/top-100-best-cbd-companies-new-cannabidiol-oil-businesses/" target="_blank">best CBD oil</a> products. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>What Facts Do You Know About The Fashion Brands Present On Instagram? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Fashion is surely one of the most popular and biggest industries present on Instagram. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• A third of all Instagram users actually, have bought a garments item they found on Instagram. With more millennials coming to join this versatile platform, we find that Instagram is gradually establishing a niche for itself and is a fantastic bet for the fashion brands. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Both industry marketing opportunity and competition are growing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Let us explore the ways to boost your business brands. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Perfecting Your Images Would Mean Surefire Success </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Instagram is known to be the realm of stunning pictures. More so if you are a fashion brand, you are expected to generate top quality visual content in the Instagram feed. High- resolution pictures must be shared on this versatile social media platform for boosting more engagement and driving more traffic to your fashion site. Quality images must necessarily have the following attributes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• They must be high-resolution. High resolution seems to everything that one could ask for. Nobody seems to be interested in low-quality hazy pictures. If you want that your fashion brand must outshine the others and stay well ahead of the competition, you must post top quality photos that are clicked using a good traditional or old-school camera and not by your smartphone camera. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Your images must necessarily tell a story. A picture is incomplete without a compelling caption. Only words could give a whole new dimension to an image. Pictures that convey a story would be getting maximum engagement and could drive more traffic to your fashion site. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Your images must be relevant to the theme. They must be uniform and your Instagram feed must work precisely the same way. Your pictures could seem to be different or separate pieces, however, they are uniform and one in spirit and they should essentially appear as a uniform whole. Your entire business Instagram feed must appear as an organic outfit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• All photographs must create a uniform or signature look. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Examine tools such as Snapseed, VSCO, Squarify, and Color Story. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• For efficient mobile photography, examine the above-mentioned tools while editing your pictures. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Focus On Behind-The-Scenes For Ultimate Engagement </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Your Instagram images must be attractive and perfect in every way to grab consumer attention, boost engagement and drive increased traffic to your fashion site. However, in your quest for perfection, you must not feel scared of displaying the real you. You must consider telling your original story on Instagram Stories, Instagram’s Snap Chat version. The best thing about pictures posted in your Instagram Stories is that people see them and appreciate them but they would be lasting on the Instagram Stories for just 24 hours or a single day. Hence, there is absolutely no reason to be obsessive about the various aspects of your Instagram in terms of the color of your choice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">As one Instagram social media marketing influencer has said, “Generate great stories – and if you have star value, make sure you use it. As a fashion retailer, you’re here on Instagram to market yourself — and there’s no better way to do it than by showing the real you.” You could get real likes for your Instagram post by seeking professional assistance from a digital marketing company of repute. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Determine The Right Hashtags </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Hashtags have been introduced just about eleven years ago but it has become extremely popular and is regarded as the most effective and competent discovery tool utilized by millions of Instagram users across the globe. For instance, consider #love, it is supposed to be the most frequently used and most popular Instagram hashtag and it has already been used by over one million Instagram posts. It would take you an entire lifetime to browse all the Instagram posts that are tagged with #love. Will it do any good to promote your fashion brand with such a hashtag? No, not at all! It is extremely broad and so your photo would become merely a drop in an expansive ocean. For effectively promoting your fashion brand and connecting with numerous people to generate more traffic, you must use narrow long-tail hashtags to tag your Instagram posts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Rules Of </b></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Engagement</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you master the techniques of achieving perfect photography and use hashtags to the fullest potential, the next proactive step that you must take is actually to interact and engage with more and more such people who are using the same hashtags. You must like their posts. Keep commenting on a regular basis on their pictures. You could consider asking for permission to go about reposting provided they featured your unique product in an excellent way. The picture must necessarily match with the essence and mood of your Instagram feed. You must make efforts to build a strong community by efficiently engaging and interacting with all your prospective customers. We have discussed a few amazing</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">techniques to engage with your Instagram followers<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">and boosting the mutual trust that would encourage more engagement and boosting loyalty to your original brand.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">How Smaller Brands On Instagram Can Compete With The Bigger Business Brands</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the famous fashion brands and fitness clothing companies of today have their own dedicated Instagram team. This team is vested with a specific job which is to reach out to more and more people, targeted and beyond, to enhance their business prospects. This can ideally be done when there is an increased number of organic traffic to a website and Instagram is the best platform that provides fit and fashionable businesses with such an opportunity. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The primary reason that most of the major fashion brands choose Instagram over other social media channels available is that it is essentially a photo and video sharing app. There is less or no text that can make things boring to the visitors. Other reasons for its preference over other channels are: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• There are a large number of active monthly users of this platform to a staggering 1 billion worldwide users</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• There are lots of photos and videos shared by the users every day which the followers for Instagram looks to make a theory buying decision and </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Since this is a platform that can be accessed through smartphone fashion brands can reach out to a large number of audience virtually anytime and on the move. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">That means Instagram enables the brands to establish an easy and instant connect with users all over the globe. This is essentially important for any brand that wants to showcase its product in an international stage and to do business on a global scale. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, the fact that it is a photo sharing platform, the brands can make a better impression as compared to the text which has a strong chance of the meaning of the message being lost in the process. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">This also means the users will get exactly what they are looking for. With the carefully designed posts and captions and well-paced and attractive links, the users can be easily encouraged if not enticed to click on it directing them to the official website. This, in turn, will increase the amount of organic traffic to the website eventually. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Use For Various Purposes</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Simply by sharing the photos and videos that are related to the product the fashion brands and fitness clothing lines can make the best use of this platform for varied purposes. A few of these are: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• The marketing management of different upcoming events </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Organizing the fashion shows independently or in any specific festival </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Reach out to even those people who could not be present in the live event </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Gather feedback and opinions instantly as people will not have to wait for the fashion magazines to come up a few months later with a report of the event and much more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">All they have to do is ensure that they use the best photos of the events or the fitness fashion products that will help the users to connect with it easily. This will help them to make a buying decision or to do business with the brand pretty fast reducing the wait time of the fashion brands to make a sale and thereby increase its business revenue. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Do A Distinct Instagram Strategy </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Another significant aspect of Instagram is that it comes with a lot of useful features and tools for fashion companies and influencers that allow the marketers especially to formulate a better and distinct Instagram strategy to reach out to more and more people. When this strategy is blended with their social media marketing strategy the final outcome quite naturally is exceptional and often beyond imagination. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• Since this platform is used by most major and luxury fashion brands if you use it too you will automatically fall into this niche bracket even if you are new to this field and your product are a tad less than exquisite. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• In addition to that when you follow such a distinct Instagram strategy it will make your brand unique as well depending on the style. Apart from being the product and sales are driven, the platform and its strategy will help you to provide your users with the best experience so that they can soon become your followers and immerse in your product. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• You will also be able to showcase the exclusive and unique image of your brand along with its heritage. You can keep it updated and interesting for each particular season with the selection and changes in images and videos you wish to incorporate. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• You can gain the best results and highest traffic either by following Instagram strategies that is similar to that of other fashion brands or create your own strategy by incorporating a mixture of your brand stories and your collection of products for showcasing your artistic skills in both forms. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The most significant factor and feature of Instagram is that it allows you to engage with IG influencers who can be a celebrity or even your common follower. However, if you do get access and permission to use a celebrity as an influencer of your brand and product, the number of followers you will gain along with the popularity due to the already existing large number of followers of the celebrity which can't be explained. It will definitely increase the traffic to your website. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Make An Exception And Example </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">In most of the times when a brand, especially a fashion brand or fitness clothing line resorts only to any other forms of marketing without incorporating Instagram advertising and other digital marketing strategies they are often found to be outstripped by other players in this highly competitive fashion industry. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• On the contrary, when you use carefully designed Instagram strategies you will be better off especially when the beauty and fashion brands have different accounts that needs to be aggregated. This is because the brand ranking almost always reflects on Instagram thereby facilitating the chances of increased traffic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">• In addition to that, you may know that the internet is commonly associated with a diaspora of business brands and therefore it is essentially required to make an exception and lead by example. Having said this, you can make exceptions by using images and posts that will add some over and above the weight of your product. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Follow Famous Fashion Forward</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">With all these possibilities and benefits, it will be unwise to overlook Instagram strategy and expect a high footfall to your fashion site for fitness clothing company.

If you are trying to promote your business in the online environment, you have probably also decided to create a profile on Instagram. The good news is that there are countless Instagram promotion tools that can help you increase Instagram followers. However, not all of them can offer you the advantages that you need. Why is that? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve, how fast you would like to achieve it and how much effort you are willing to put into it. Let's say that you would like to get thousands of new followers on Instagram in just a week. Do you think that this is possible? Yes, it is, but only if you opt for the right marketing tools. A useful tip would be to make sure that your profile is relevant. For instance, if your business is about jewelry, all of your pictures should have something to do with this topic. If you do not know how to do this, it would be recommended that you look on profiles of major competitors that have managed to get the online recognition that you long for. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can learn from both the pictures that they post and the text that they add to every single photo. Most probably, they have chosen to post said pictures along with a particular phrase because they wanted to entice their audience and get likes as well as comments. You can choose to do something similar. Of course, because of the fact that you do not have too many followers, you will not benefit from the same effect. Another way that you could increase Instagram followers would require you to post photos at a particular time. It all depends on when your followers are usually online. This way, others might also become interested in what you have to say. The only problem with these Instagram promotion techniques is that it will take a lot of time for you to get the followers that you need. That is why you should consider opting for an alternative solution. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Increase Your Instagram Influence And Engagement</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As you should know, there are Instagram social media services providers out there that can help you in this matter. You just need to take a small sum of money out of your pocket and they will offer you the followers that you have asked for. If you want another thousand people to be interested in your business brand, you just need to invest in a certain package of IG social media marketing services. Usually, these real Instagram followers are delivered in a few business days, depending on how many you want. If you think about it, this is the fastest way that you could achieve your Insta social media marketing goals. Once you have more followers on this social networking site, you can opt for other Instagram promotion tools afterwards and increase your Instagram account followers.</span>Bootstrap Business Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309217762655257874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755135720627336941.post-30920944991394927232019-12-06T11:24:00.001-05:002020-01-04T12:57:02.593-05:00Tips To Be A Professional Graphic Designer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most respectable designers will have samples on their websites and links to some of their work online. Seeing a top website</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">and judging if the work matches the kind of style you think will suit you is a good place to get started. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Find A Company That Responds Quickly To Business Inquiries And Requests </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Unless you want a "cookie cutter" solution, then you'll want to contact the people designing for you directly. Communication is very important when considering intangible visions. Not just the initial response for your inquiry, but repeated communication to have a free flow of ideas so that you know you are getting exactly what you want. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Seek A Graphic Design Company Willing to Challenge </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

So if you explain your vision, you need to open your mind to their professional experience and let them have some creative leeway. Of course the customer has the last word, be sure to keep an open mind and not limit yourself to a single vision, like they do at Neil Patel's Digital Market Agency.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Reading through the reviews that previous and current customers have posted on a site is an excellent way to get a realistic feel about what kind of service you will be receiving. A lot of customers will leave links to what the <a href="https://www.myfrugalfitness.com/2019/09/graphic-designer-skills-artistic-entrepreneurs.html" target="_blank">graphics designers</a> have done for them to show off the work - it's another good way to see what you're getting yourself into. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are other things that you need to keep in mind as well. It is very important that you choose a single company or agency to do your graphic design work through. The reason for this is to keep a consistent look across your website, advertising campaign, or whatever it is that you are ordering. There are many excellent companies out there, but choosing one will ensure a solid look across the whole spectrum. One more thing that separates the amateur graphic designers from the professionals is their ability to see the "whole picture". The "whole picture" does not just mean the content that you have ordered, but it means seeing your work and considering it to the rest of the work in the industry. You also won't have to deal with as much <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2020/01/heightism-workplace-discrimination-shorter-men-career-lower-pay.html" target="_blank">heightism</a> if you are working for a single employer or agency.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Whether you're a brand new brand or business blogger, compelling content is critical. Content marketing is a crucial aspect of your digital strategy that you can't neglect. Having a blog with new top quality content every day, week, or even month can pay big dividends. But it can be very time-consuming for small or even established businesses and not all companies have experienced writers on staff that are also skilled in <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/p/seo.html" target="_blank">search engine optimization</a> (SEO). That's where helpful professional </span><span style="font-size: large;">blogger outreach services</span><span style="font-size: large;"> come in handy to help create content, build backlinks, or rank higher on Google. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

You want to show off your writing skills while helping businesses to grow and succeed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">As someone who has successfully worked on both sides of the fence as a <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/p/best.html" target="_blank">blog outreach agency</a> and paid blogger for a decade across several industries, I have some expertise on these subjects that I'd like to share with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The Importance Of Business Blogging</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">As I mentioned briefly earlier, business blogging is critical to your company's success. First of all, having a comprehensive and updated business blog reflects very positively on your company. It shows that you are passionate about your industry and want to help your website visitors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Secondly, your insightful blog posts help to convert website visitors into qualified leads or paying customers. Third, blog posts provide excellent content to share and discuss on your company social media pages. And finally, the more business blogging you do means improved SEO which will drive increased organic Google traffic to your entire website for years to come. It's the gift that keeps on giving.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Why Utilize Blogger Outreach For Your Business Brands?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://neilpatel.com/blog/10-blogger-outreach-tools-you-should-use-today/" target="_blank">Business blogging outreach</a> is an excellent strategy, but it can take up an incredible amount of time and resources. A single well-researched, written, edited, and optimized blog post can take several hours (or even days) for a skilled writer that is knowledgeable about any industry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">That means you are either making a full-time employee dedicate half of their workload to your business blog (taking away the time and energy needed for other pressing aspects of your business) or you're keeping a full-time content producer on the payroll for $50,000 in annual salary. These are incredibly high prices to pay for content when you can outsource to <a href="https://erikchristianjohnson.com/top-20-blogger-outreach-services-to-grow-your-domain-authority-in-2019/" target="_blank">expert bloggers used to writing for website visitor conversions and Google search results</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Earn Extra Money As A Blogger</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">While companies are looking for consistent and creative content that converts, there are plenty of talented and experienced bloggers out there in every niche looking for additional work. It can be challenging to find consistent work blogging and writing online, as a business or <a href="https://www.divinedesignshairsalons.com/" target="_blank">beauty blogger</a> or other industry. Steady sources of income can be difficult for even skilled writers, especially in the beginning. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Paid blogging opportunities through blogger outreach agencies like Bootstrap Business Blogger Outreach can help to give you the stable income you need while you build your business, portfolio, and expertise. It's a great supplement to your existing blogging business and a valuable work experience possibility that you should take advantage of. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">If you have a strong social media presence you can increase your earning potential even more. If you have the most Twitter followers or Instagram fans in your niche then you can monetize them by promoting brands. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Compliment Blogger Outreach With Smart Social Media Management</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Another great way of expanding your business brand includes social media marketing. It helps to send crawlers to your web pages, drive traffic, increase brand awareness, and further boost Google ranking. By hiring an experienced social media marketing company or LinkedIn lead generation service, your overall digital marketing strategy will be improved exponentially.

<img alt="how marketers choose best video production company event filming" border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="640" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhITjnxUxXy7fIl_gOsvuzAFVcyLrE6-QUj1ToY9QNQXKg6PW9W5wX5CmkePBRgQWHDZIIJmlZmGoaR4DECpShcjtJW8QvK1HevezikAs15WmMgrNbH4H4vP_gVj9S7gE63XYjfr62TVik/s640/how-marketers-find-best-video-production-company-event-filming.jpg" title="how marketers choose best video production company event filming" width="640" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Hosting a large event or filming an important marketing video is a challenging task for any marketer. Every step of the preparation process leading up to the filming is crucial to its success. It is undeniable that one of the most significant aspects of planning a big event is hiring a video production company. The right video production equipment and technology is fundamental in setting the tone, making the event even more unforgettable. But how do you choose an video production company for your marketing event or video shoot? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Top Technology & Excellent Equipment</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Event production businesses stay on top of trends and technology within the industry to remain competitive. One indication that an audio-video (AV) company is on top of its game is the availability of high-end equipment and new tech. Anyone renting AV equipment knows that quality is a must, and the budget is only secondary. If you are comparing several companies, it will all boil down to which one of them has the best and most advanced equipment for your marketing needs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Embrace Experience, Versatility & Dependability</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">AV companies cater to almost every kind of event. But there are some which have more experience in providing the services needed for particular productions. Are you hosting a business convention or a concert? With the goals of the event in mind, you may proceed with determining which video production company has the relevant experience to provide the best possible service. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dependability is also an underrated and essential part of hiring the right video production company. If your videographers and video producers can't arrive to your event or shoot on time, it could cost your company big time. Video production companies that do experience delays such as traffic accidents or flat tires would still be able to show up for work if they contacted a top tower like <a href="https://whiterecovery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Car recovery London</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Get Competitive Company Quotes </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Do not get a quote from a single company. Get at least three quotes and scrutinize the details of each. What are the inclusions and exclusions? Which company offers the best value for money? Are you also looking into factors such as accessibility and logistics? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some event venues offer the option to use an in-house AV company. If the location is otherwise inaccessible to 3rd party AV vendors, you may also consider hiring the in-house AV team instead. When it comes to pricing, the cheapest is not always best. With several factors to consider, make sure that you are selecting an AV rental service which will best serve and realize the intended outcome of the event. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Find A Full Service Film Company</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The AV rental company also needs to include take-down costs as part of the quote. Post-event clean-up is time-consuming and worrying about removing and storing AV equipment should be the responsibility of the AV Company. Apart from the quality of the equipment, the company also needs to have reliable staff and employees who will handle the set-up, maintenance, and take-down of the facilities. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Communicates And Is Open To Ideas </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As the client, you need to be able to realize your vision for the event. The AV company needs to be flexible regarding your ideas. A good AV company will act as your partner and collaborator, listening to your input and making sure that it is put into action. Although it helps for an video production company to have a distinct point of view, the client’s needs should remain paramount. If you the client want to make an unorthodox request like having your <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2019/09/top-ten-most-popular-best-torrent-sites.html" target="_blank">video be downloadable on torrents</a> then a top AV production company should be able to oblige.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">How Marketers Can Select The Best Video Production Company</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall there is a delicate balance between the creative freedom of the AV company and giving in to the whims of the marketer client. As the customer with videography needs, it is also critical that you allow them to guide you in coming up with the best video production solutions to successfully execute your vision. If marketers follow the advice listed above, they should be able to choose the right video production company for their marketing needs.</span>Bootstrap Business Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11309217762655257874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755135720627336941.post-26632275368002291562019-12-05T12:52:00.000-05:002019-12-06T14:30:43.931-05:00What To Know About The Graphic Design Industry<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But any good graphic arts expert knows that there is a need for formal graphic design and arts training.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Graphic Design is slated to one of the largest and fastest growing job markets. Graphic, website and computer animation design would be the focus of attention.

<span style="font-size: large;">The many career options you have include the print media like books, papers and periodicals, audio media like advertising or electronic media like films and TV. Although not wide enough in terms of variety, a career in a small or large specialist company may throw up a steady stream of work. If you decide to work as a freelancer, you would not be able to keep your clients happy, or get new projects. In case you are keen to pursue this as a career, it is not enough to have a college degree, a burning ambition and a thorough knowledge of where you wish to go. You must develop the art of using computer graphic software as well as other computer related jobs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You should make a <a href="https://www.mikeschiemer.com/2019/12/how-to-hire-great-graphic-design-company-boost-business-branding.html">graphic designer</a> portfolio which carries a collection of some of your best work.

<img alt="online marketing summit digital conference event planning" border="0" data-original-height="401" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDR2e9GIMJQxGNjHYk0QL5EZ0nXM5FD37z7rwJGdTEe5r5fIc810N2Pd1GhN-_zKe5mkVr-utiDcB05aNxySXAEP4dqTEhXCyi9UOx7lT0bcWfzK2AW_5S-xpT0IIqH69hqMvepaKy2g/s640/online-marketing-summit-digital-conference-courses-elearning-advertising-entrepreneurship-divine-designs-business-branding-blog.jpg" title="online marketing summit digital conference event planning" width="640" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You know they suck, online marketing summits and marketer conferences that is. And these marketing conferences are all over the place. And it’s the same horrible formula over and over again. They get 20 entrepreneurs together to mail each other's’ lists to build a big audience. Then put 20 crappy one-hour interviews on video. Feed them up to you the unsuspecting <a href="https://www.myfrugalbusiness.com/2019/06/tips-make-most-of-business-conference-networking-events.html" target="_blank">conference</a> attendee as if you are going to really learn something. And presto, something magical happens. You actually learn something you didn't expect to! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Except it never does happen like this. And you’re not really unsuspecting, are you? You’ve seen this dog and pony show before. The conference music’s the same, even if the people are different. And in the end, you end up watching only a few of those interviews, because, let’s face it, they’re just bad. The rest...never get seen. But why do people - maybe even you - still sign up for these things? If you know ahead of time it’s going to be garbage, why register? One word: Hope. Because we hope that one day, we’ll finally get the content those entrepreneurs have been promising. None of this “I’ll give you one trick; you can pay me for the other 3,” garbage. But this time actual, real business advice. Because we all need it so badly. Every entrepreneur needs help. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We need training and guidance. We need motivation and accountability. What we don’t need is another “rags to riches” story dressed up like business education. Not when they spend 15 minutes talking about their favorite book or how they killed it with their lemonade stand as a kid. Give me a break! Just teach us the core business information we need. Things like: What should our cash flow plan look like if we’re trying to start and grow an information business? How do you grow a consulting business when you’ve run out of time? How do you make the transition from work to entrepreneur - and not go broke in the process or quit too early? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When should you write a book and what should its real purpose be? How do you build an email <a href="https://www.myfrugalfitness.com/p/marketing.html" target="_blank">marketing</a> list? (For real, none of this… start with $10k of ad spend garbage) How do you sell to corporations and corporate c-suite decision-makers? How do you sell without coming across as salesy and pushy? These aren’t learned in typical summits. Part of the reason is not knowing which videos are right for you for your situation. Part of the reason is not knowing which topic is right for you. And, let’s face it, part of the reason is many “speakers” really don’t know what they’re talking about. Reading it in a book is not the same as living it. And finally part of it is ensuring the speakers are aligned with your core values. If not, their approaches will not resonate with you, and they won’t work for you. But imagine a summit model - full of great ideas in one place - no crap and added in only the really good parts. My friend Sherry Watson and I have done exactly that and we think it will be epic. We’re boldly calling it not just a summit, but a Super Summit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Presenting the Do Good and Make Money Super Summit! The first big difference is that we have four separate Tracks or paths to follow. These are based on where you and your business or nonprofit is right now: Starting Your Venture; Your First $100,000; Your first Million; or Scaling to Eight Figures. Second big difference, these speakers span eight different pillars of entrepreneurial life: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Day One: Lead Generation </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Two: Lead Conversion </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Three: Systems </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Four: Money Mastery </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Five: Leadership & Strategy </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Six: Abundant Life </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Seven: Right People, Spectacular Results </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day Eight: Over Delivering Value </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Eight days, one topic each day. This means you can easily invest time on the days that matter most to you now. And the third big difference is our street-tested speakers and panelists all align with our mission and belief that you can do good and make money at the same time. It’s not just about making money. And it's not just about doing good. Both at the same time! Best part is: attending is absolutely free. Sure, that’s a lot of content to absorb, so you’ll have an opportunity if you want to purchase lifetime access to the content. But even that’s where Sherry and I have broken the model. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have decided to dedicate 100% of the net proceeds of this Summit to two of our nonprofits, the Living Legacy Institute and the Entrepreneur Empowerment Institute. So you know those funds will be put to good use. But of course, there’s no need to upgrade your access or donate any money at all. You will have to register for the Do Good and Make Money Super Summit. You can do that here. If you’ve been waiting for someone to finally stop pretending to educate entrepreneurs and really help, the time has come. Make sure you participate in this Super Summit. It runs live and you’ll get some amazing bonus content when you enroll now.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Conference Venues</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Your London conference venue needs advance arrangements. You can find the best conference venue in London. Make sure your guest have pleasant rooms. Choose a conference room with electronic equipment. Find some hotels that have good accommodation for your guests. Get ready for your London conference by reading this article. Choosing a conference venue in London may not be as difficult as you thought whether you are live abroad or a London resident. If you have access to the internet, finding the perfect conference venue is just a few clicks away. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">However, before you do that, you need to organize everything. Start with determining your needs. This involves knowing the size of the conference. How many attendees are you expecting? The size of your conference determines the size of the conference venue. This is very important if you want to save on unnecessary costs. If the conference is a major event that has more than 500 attendees, then you will prefer to have a meeting room that can accommodate all without feeling over-crowded. If the conference venue in London is a minor event with only 100 attendees, the venue size for London conference should fit your needs. Then, you have to know the amenities and equipment needed for the success of your conference. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Will you need a projector, a monitor and DVD player? How about whiteboards? If you think the conference is interactive and encourages participation from the attendees, then, you need to choose a venue that offers such conference facilities. London is a great place for a conference venue in London, whether special, personal or business. The city offers splendid attractions, particularly if your venue is situated at the heart of the city. If you and the attendees are not residents of London, you may need to consider the accessibility in going to the venue. Choose the hotels that offer transportation accommodation from the airport to the venue. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are also London conference halls that offer discounts on room accommodation for your guests and attendees. If such is the case, amenities such as swimming pool, spa and Jacuzzis are very important so your guests will not get stressed after the conference. Check with the information desk of the hotel you will be holding the conference and see how varied their means to entertain their guests are. Another factor to consider in finding a conference venue is the food and beverage. If the conference lasts for three days or more, make it certain that the recipes and beverages are widely varied. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">People may have food allergies. It is wise to have different meats cooked in different styles and cuisine. If you have guests from different countries, you had better ensured that people behind the conference kitchen know international cuisine. Hot and cold refreshments are important. Coffee and tea should be available as well as drinking water, juice and soft drinks. In France, it is their custom to serve wine before the meal. Whether you opt for wines to be served during mealtime or not, it would be best to check its availability in the London conference hotel, and consult it with the secretariat. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In most cases, wines are served during conference-related dinner party or gala. To be safe, you can inform the guests that wines are available upon request. You can also conduct a guest poll to know their food and drinks preferences, and collaborate with conference administration. If you want a conference venue in the city, make your plans early and get on the internet and start looking for a London location for the size of your company's conference.
