June 2013

 As summer hits, I find myself renewed in the business! I don't know if it's being outside more and getting fresh air, or if it's the summer activities I wait all year to enjoy, but I am re-invigorated and excited to keep growing IMPACT and providing great services to our clients! I hope you are also experiencing this seasonal phenomenon and are inspired to work efficiently and passionately in your business, but also plan on taking some time away to enjoy the summer, be with your friends and family, and feel gratefulness for the seasons. Balance is crucial, and what keeps us going, so enjoy some guilt-free time away from the office and enjoy your summer! About the NewsletterAs always, the team at IMPACT is contributing to the monthly newsletter and sharing their expertise and tips, and we hope you enjoy the information! We aim to provide you the most relevant and informative newsletter on Social Media and business trends. Have a suggestion or feedback? It is always welcome, and we want to hear from you!

Facebook VS Google
Which Ads Are Best For Your Business?
For those of us that have considered taking a risk and venturing out on our own to start our dream business, one key step we've needed to seriously consider is how are we going to advertise to our target audience?  Of course there are big money marketing solutions, but for most of us on a penny-pinching budget, we need something effective, yet cost efficient.
My intent for this blog will be to focus on two forms of battling advertising methods, and which of these may be the best for your new start-up business: Facebook vs. Google.
What I am going to try to determine is whether it's better to put your company's future in the hands of one of the largest search engines out there, Google; or if it's better to strategize with the future of one of the largest growing social media websites, Facebook.

Missed Calls Means Missed Business
Give Your Clients and Potential Customers the Service They Deserve
You need full time phone coverage. After all, you have no idea when the calls will come in during business hours. You can't very well tell your potential customers to check your calendar and only call when you're free. And how many of those potential customers are available when you call back? They call you when it's convenient for them; unfortunately, it is not the other way around.
So what does a full time receptionist cost to you?
Minimum wage: $10.00
40 hours/week: $400/week
Per month: $1,600
**This doesn't include employer taxes, unemployment, benefits, and payroll expenses! And what about the technology, phone, desk, and office space you need to pay for?
Calls On Call provides full time receptionist coverage for a fraction of the cost!!! PLUS, it's in our office, where the set up is already done!
Packages start at just $500/month!
