    Add You - How Will A Content Management System Improve The Effectiveness Of My Website?

    Now That's Service!
    An elderly lady gazed at the array of smoothie options as she approached the counter at Freshens Yogurt in the DFW Airport. The line was quite long and I was eating within earshot of the counter. The interaction (note: an interaction, not a transaction) went something like this:Manager: “What type of smoothie are you in the mood for today?” Guest: “There are so many, I can’t decide.” Manager: “Well, No.1 and No.16 are the most popular ones ordered, but I’ll let you in on a little secret, No.18 is my favorite.” Guest: “I’ll try one of those.” The manager quickly made the smoothie and tendered the payment. As the lady began to leave, the manager said, “Please take a taste—I want to ensure you enjoy it as much as I do.” She obliged and responded, “Outstanding!” The manager replied, “That’s what I like to hear!”Now That’s Servi
    usually incurs a fixed charge which does not vary with the number of changes you make. Therefore, the more you use your CMS, the lower the "per change" cost. When a website designer makes changes on your behalf, they will charge for each change and so the "per change" cost is never reduced.

    Using a Content Management System can reduce on on-going website costs.

    Timely and topical content
    A CMS enables you to make immediate changes to your website. Furthermore, many CMS’s provide you with the option of specifying a start and an end date for content, which means you can control exactly when something appears on your website.

    Viral Marketing using FEEDS and Back Linking for Search Engine Optimization
    Viral advertising is a very useful tool in marketing your Website, Software, Landing page, or basically anything you want to advertise over a period of time, there are various ways to Viral Advertise, I personally use E-books in a PDF format because PDF formatted files can be read by all Systems, another way is to use Feeds, this is where you link your Website to other Websites producing Back Links, you can Link to a multitude of other Website by giving them a Feed that originates on your Website to display on their Websites and as such Back Linking to your Website.In this article we are going to concentrate on the Feeds that produce Back Links because they are not only advertising something (could be an Article) but because they can be Viral in nature.The more Websites your Site is Linked to with a Back Link the more your Site is noticed when a Sear
    The downfall of many websites is that their content is allowed to become out-of-date. This disappoints visitors, who are looking for more than the old information they find. It is also frustrating for the website owner, who may not have the resources to enable more regular updates.

    The facility to update a website’s content directly, without any reliance on a web development partner, is an essential tool for many business owners. Good use of a Content Management System (CMS) brings clear business benefits by improving a website’s effectiveness. How would you benefit by using a CMS to update your website?

    What Is A Content Management System?

    Unlike much IT terminology, the definition of "content management system" is fairly intuitive: it is a system that enables you, the website owner, to update your website’s content. Most importantly, a CMS makes it possible to change the content on your website without the involvement of your web designer.

    How Could I Use A Content Management System On My Website?

    The ability to manage the content on your website gives you the freedom to publish a variety of information. Typical uses for a CMS include publishing:

    • News, announcements and press releases
    • Articles and newsletters
    • Product details
    • Special offers
    • Testimonials and case studies
    • Vacancies and personnel profiles
    • Useful links

    How Will I Know Whether A Content Management System Will Benefit Me?

    Various "symptoms" suggest that you will benefit from using a CMS:

    • Do you regularly ask your web designer to update text / images on your website?
    • Are you reliant on your web designer to keep your website in sync with activities elsewhere in your business, such as new product launches, price changes or marketing campaigns?
    • Do you find that the cost of paying your website designer to maintain your website is getting too high?
    • Are you frustrated that some of the content on your website is out-of-date or inaccurate?
    • Do you ever miss business opportunities by not being able to add timely or topical content in response to changes in your market?

    What Does Success and a Big-Hunk-of-Iron have in Common?
    SUCCESS in Business and Life… is likened to a steam-powered locomotive.That massive hunk of IRON sits there imposingly bold and ready for a successful journey.Coal is the fuel that gets this big hunk of metal traveling at varying speeds.Now the coal can just sit there, with the big Iron steam engine and that's fine, but the engine goes nowhere.On the other hand, when the coal is shoveled in to the engines', flaming red-hot furnace fire, the goal begins.The engine warmly receives much needed energy and the locomotive begins its journey.The real change comes to play, when the fire burns coal, which creates steam and right on down the mechanicalline, levers and gears immediately get moving and momentum begins.More coal, more steam more momentum.Successfully reaching its destination sooner or, later.<

    How Are UPS Shipping Costs Determined?
    There are several factors that contribute to the cost. They are:1) the size of the package - each package is measured to the quarter of an inch (length, width, and height)2) the weight of the package - each package is weighed to the hundredth of a pound and rounded up to the next pound (e.g., 4.01 pounds is rounded to 5 pounds)3) the destination zip code - the distance from the shipping zip code to the destination zip code factors into the cost4) commercial or residential - it is easier to locate businesses, and therefore less expensive to ship to a business than a residence5) the value of the contents - insurance costs add to the shipping cost6) any other added services - e.g., COD, signature requiredYou can see that in shipping, size does matter! Inches and pounds are the primary factors affecting shipping cost.dies

    eBay Sales Commands That Increase Sales
    eBay sales commands is a phrase that I use to cover the buying motivations for successful eBay sales. In other words, according to my research I have found that most eBay shoppers bid for certain reasons.Once an eBay seller understands what these reasons are, he or she can make sure that their auctions are geared towards fulfilling those reasons.Here are some of the top reasons I have found that eBay shoppers have for bidding on items:1. eBay shoppers are looking for excitement. They are looking for an item which will provide entertainment value. The more exciting the item is, the higher the level of interest.2. eBay shoppers are nostalgic. They love finding collectibles and novelties that remind them of an earlier time. Many eBay shoppers look for comic books, toys, and posters, which they had when they were younger.3. eBay sho

    Ad Placement
    The following summarizes the relative advantages and disadvantages of the advertising media most frequently used by small businesses. Television Television provides a means for reaching a great number of people in a short period of time. Small businesses will typically use either spot television or cable television. A spot television ad is placed on one station in one market. The number of target audience members who see your ad depends upon how many viewers are tuned into the television station at a specific time. Cable advertising is placed either on a local cable television channel or on a cable network. The number of people reached by cable advertising depends upon the cable penetration and the cable channel/program viewership in a given market. Beyond television's reach, an additional advantage is

    Timely and topical content
    A CMS enables you to make immediate changes to your website. Furthermore, many CMS’s provide you with the option of specifying a start and an end date for content, which means you can control exactly when something appears on your website.

    You might want to show certain content at a particular time of year, such as Christmas or Valentine’s Day, or at a time that coincides with a particular event (the World Cup or a general election, for instance).

    Perhaps you have a series of events that run regularly throughout the year: a CMS could automatically remove the details of each event from your website as soon as it becomes out-of-date. This means you would not need to remember to update your website a specific times as the CMS would look after this for you.

    Using a Content Management System enables you to add timely and topical content to your website.

    Greater flexibility
    Once content is added to your CMS, it can be used in a number of places on your website. This means you can be more inventive with your website and present relevant content to your visitors in various ways.

    For example, you may have a News page, which includes all the news stories you have published, but also wish to show the three most recent news stories in a side panel on your Home page. Each time you add a fresh story to your website, the list of three most recent stories and the full list on the News page is updated automatically.

    Using a Content Management System means you can display content on your website more creatively, which will engage visitors and make your website more rewarding.

    Search engine success
    Regularly adding fresh content to your website will attract search engines. New content, which includes keywords and phrases relevant to your market, you will improve your chances of search engine exposure and this will produce a higher number of website visitors.

    Using a Content Management System to add topical content to your website will raise your site’s profile in search engines, which will encourage a higher number of visits to your website.

    Ignorance is bliss
    A CMS removes the need for you to understand the technicalities of creating web pages, while still enabling you to add rich content to your website such as formatted text, tables, images and links. By hiding this complexity, a CMS lets you focus on the content without needing to worry about its layout or appearance.

    If you were to update your website without using a CMS, you would need to purchase some suitable web editing software for your computer and develop specific web design skills.

    Using a Content Management System means you can update your website without needing to install specialist software on your computer or learn new technical skills.

    Maximize WOM in Your Services Marketing

    Word of mouth (WOM) and its subset, referrals, differ from other marketing activities because they depend entirely on someone voluntarily endorsing your services to someone else. You can ask, invite, encourage--even offer to pay them for referrals--but when it gets right down to it, the only way WOM will make a big impact on a service business's growth is if clients are so excited and thrilled about it that they proactively endorse it to their own networks.
