Media Relations: What To Do When You're Misquoted
When ABC News anchor Peter Jennings announced he had lung cancer last month, reporters who cover the media went into breaking news mode.What did it mean to the future of network news, they wondered? What would ABC News do to recover from the tragic announcement? And what sources could they talk to who would fill them in on the latest rumblings at ABC?That’s when my phone rang. A reporter from PR Week, a prestigious public relations magazine, was ready to interview me. As a former ABC News production coordinator, they thought I might have something to say.Since the reporter and I had corresponded over

There are many methods of increasing sales and brand awareness online, both expensive and inexpensive. If you are not visible on the web you are potentially losing out on additional sales channels.

Do you understand your target audience?

One of the most effective and increasingly popular ways of directing sales to your company is by ensuring your company appears at, or near, the top of the search engine listings. Despite many claims, by many on the Internet, this is not easy and takes a lot of effort.

But is it enough?

Perhaps you are not targeting the right audience.

Search-Marketing campaigns catch people at the exact time they are looking to buy. Advertising on TV, radio or print does not have that power.

Day Parting

One such service is called day-parting. This technology allows you to only place your business at the top of the search listings during selected key times of the day, for instance lunchtime and between five and nine o'clock.

This is a particularly useful tool for businesses with limited budgets as it reduces the amount of click-throughs that you have to pay for at times when people are unlikely to be looking or want to buy your products.

Why Good Advice is Hurting Your Productivity and What To Do About It
The next time the phrase “here’s what you should do” begins a path across your lips, you’d be wise to remember this quote from Gilbert K. Chesterton: “I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.”Although usually given with the best intentions, advice always reflects the needs, experiences, and now science tells us, the thought process, of the giver. More often than not, the needs of giver and receiver don’t match, creating frustration all around. Instead, some well-chosen questions, directed along the lines of finding a solution

Riding the Waves to Success
Last week I was confused and frustrated about a few things related to one of my businesses, and a bit upset with myself and "The Universe." As a result, I went into a deep meditation to get some clarity and help.In response to my questions and requests for help, my Director/Inner CEO asked to me make a shift in the way I was looking at my business affairs (although as you'll see, the advice I got applies to personal life too). He suggested that I start looking at the ebb and flow of opportunities in my businesses like it was surfing. He then gave me a really great metaphor and some powerful insig

Key Control or High Security Lock & Key Systems
What is the risk?Key control, or more accurately the lack of key control is one of the biggest risks that businesses or property owners face.Without a key control system you cannot be sure who has keys or how many keys they have to your property. Not having a patent controlled key system leads to unauthorized key duplication, which leads to unauthorized access to your property or employee theft.Most key control systems utilize patented keys and or cylinders, these lock cylinders employ very precise locking systems that can only be operated by the unique keys to that system.

Have you chosen the right Keywords?

Choosing specific key words is a simple method to attract targeted potential buyers to your website.

The key words must be chosen carefully though, and you must really understand your audience and how they might be searching for your products and services.

If a potential customer types a selected key word into a search engine (e.g. car insurance) it will display your company's listing amongst the results. Given that you are showing your company's products to users at the time when they are looking for similar products to yours, this means there is higher likelihood that they will interact with your site and potentially lead to a sale.

If you are listed on any other page than the first, the chances are very slim that the customer will even look at your website's name, let alone purchase from it.

But is your website converting the customers?

You have managed to attract potential buyers to your site, now what?

Your website must be attractive, provide easy to navigate, good content, and a good copy written sales page to convert the viewer to buy. Take time to assess your site.
