How To Start A Business Utilizing Technology

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Posted By: Andy Willoughby

Today, technology runs about every business.  It is the backbone of working, processing, understanding systems and filing away resources.  So why do we need more education regarding what types of technology to implement, why and how to utilize it correctly and what happens if we ignore the seriousness of the issues surrounding IT?

According to an article written by Judi Light Hopson, an eHow Contributor, it is important to “encourage new employees to help with marketing. Encourage them to hold seminars in the community. Help them rehearse presentations of what services are available. Create visual presentations and slide shows to educate business owners about help with software, repairing computers, creating programs from scratch or consulting work available to expand human resource programs.

How To Use Facebook Places To Get Your Business Started

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Posted By: Andy Willoughby

Facebook recently launched a new location-based feature. This means that you can let others know where you are, what you are doing and even what you think of the place you’re visiting. This is okay for your business as Facebook continues to show us opportunities to connect with more companies via the Internet. Your customers are most likely already on Facebook and by adding this feature you become more accessible to them, which in the end, can mean a better return for you and your business.

This is an article written by David Griner from the associatedcontent.com, who stated, “Facebook has 133 million users in the U.S. and 500 million worldwide. When you compare that to Foursquare’s 2 million user base, I think it’s safe to say that checking in just became a phenomenally bigger deal. Before you start setting up an official Place for your business, try it out as a user first. As I mentioned before, you’ll need an iPhone with the free, official Facebook app. Don’t have an iPhone? Borrow one from a friend next time you’re out and about.

More small businesses use Twitter, Facebook to promote versus traditional advertising

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Posted By: Andy Willoughby

Here is an article from the USA Today about the growing use of social media among small businesses. More of them are choosing to utilize social media at the expense of traditional forms of advertising. Small businesses view it as an easy way to maintain contact with current customers while reaching out to new ones.

A new study by MerchantCircle found that more than half of nearly 10,000 respondents nationwide said they plan to create or maintain a social networking presence in the next three months. This number is the highest since the survey began a year ago and is up from 41% in the first three months this year.

More small businesses use Twitter, Facebook to promote

SAN FRANCISCO — A surge in social-media use by small businesses reflects a shift in how they operate and their comfort with increasingly easy-to-use technology.

In growing numbers, small-business owners are adopting social-networking services, location-based services, Twitter and online video to promote products and services, according to a new study by MerchantCircle, a social network for small businesses. It polled a fraction of its more than 1.3 million members.

The survey results are the strongest evidence yet that small businesses — which account for more than 90% of all U.S. companies and fuel the economy — are accelerating their use of social media at the expense of traditional media such as newspapers, the Yellow Pages and radio. Even e-mail messages have taken a beating.

Businesses with fewer than five employees “see Facebook and others as a way to reach targeted consumers” while saving marketing expenditures during a rough economy, says Darren Waddell, vice president of marketing at MerchantCircle.
