Directory Submission Sites
Get Listed! Google, Yahoo, Bing...
It is not always enough to have a website, a social media plan and internet marketing strategies, if people cannot find you and your business easily. A simple way to get noticed is to submit you or your company to directories such as Google, Yahoo and Bing and let them do some work for you. These directories allow a simple method of creating links to your website and social media accounts. Here is a list of a few directory submission sites:
- GetListed.org: Here you can list with Google Maps, Yahoo Local and more in one step! GetListed.org
- Google Places: Google Places allows you to "claim" your business online and ensure that when people search on Google Maps and Google they can find you and your correct business listing. You can promote offers, post photos and more! Places.Google.com/Business
- Bing Local: Just as with Yahoo and Google, Bing also offers localized listings and the opportunity to verify your business information. Bing Local Listing Center
 Directory Submission websites and listing services allow you to "claim" your business and ensure customers can find YOU! Allow yourself to reach your customers and attract new ones.
Start small, and continue to take baby steps along the way to grow, engage, and reach your target market throughout 2011!

The Power of Touch
Don't Overlook Personal Connections
Social Media is growing, changing and still developing. It is the new wave of how to communicate with clients, friends and colleagues and how to drum up new business and keep current clients informed. When creating a Social Media campaign, it is often overlooked that it must be accompanied by a personalized approach, something that can literally "touch" our audience. One single touch, personal conversation, or personalized response can create a lasting bond. Try to take time out of your day to personally respond to comments or questions, schedule in-person training seminars or networking events, or even make a simple phone call. 
This extra effort to take the conversation "offline" can be the extra bit needed to keep a relationship strong and allow it to grow. |
