Greetings!

 

SMO

 

Due to popular demand, we wanted to revisit our Social Media offerings. Does your company currently utilize social media? Do you know how to do it properly?

 

Anyone can learn to post or make updates to social sites such as Facebook and Twitter, but did you know there is a strategic method behind doing it RIGHT and making a difference in how your company can generate new leads, engage with customers and boost your rankings in search engines (SEO). This is called Social Media Optimization (SMO).

 

It has helped us tremendously, and now we want to help you, too. Starting as low as $199 per month, we can set up and maintain your social networks. Doing so will help drive traffic to your Web site, add value to your virtual storefront and set you apart from your competition. Plus, it's way cheaper than outsourcing your marketing efforts to a corporation or hiring a part-time employee.

 

Social Media Optimization is the new frontier of conducting inside sales and marketing. No one is reading mail flyers. No one is thumbing through phone books, nor do people really trust TV commercials or radio ads.

 

This is something all companies, especially small and medium businesses, need to implement right away. Please give us a call or send us an email for a FREE consultation. We won't be offering this free consult much longer.

Three Ways to Recover a Lost iPhone
 

FoneHome

How many times have you gone out and accidentally left your expensive iPhone on a restaurant table, in a movie theater cup holder or a public bathroom sink? I know I have done all of the above!

 

Thanks the Internet, it's not difficult to figure out how to hack an iPhone or any cell phone for that matter. There are ways, however, to track that lost or stolen iPhone - also thanks to the Internet!

CNET gives us three solutions that can cover just about any lost-iPhone situation:

FoneHome and iHound are two apps you can download onto your phone that run in the background. The apps will transmit your iPhone's GPS-tracked location at regular intervals. If your phone goes missing, all you need is access to a Web browser so you can sign in to your account and locate your phone on a map. FoneHome will cost you $1.99 and iHound runs about $3.99, plus $10.99 per year. This is a lot cheaper than going out and dropping hundreds of dollars on a new iPhone!
