Add Chat To Your Website

I was looking for an easy way to add chat to oneRhino.com. It's a good way to connect with folks who want to ask you a question anonymously.

Bullet points from Social Media Talk

Using Social Media for Small Business

  • You are all experts in your field: social media allows you to show your expertise to your client base.
  • The internet has allowed businesses to connect directly with customers without having to pay someone to be the intermediary (print, radio, tv, etc)
  • This makes marketing more frequent, w/o the pressure on ROI for spending hard earned dollars
  • Also allows for messages to be more informative, without a specific call to action or promotion
  • Social media is the ultimate “opt-in” marketing: Your fans and followers already love you, and want to know more about you. There are the ones spreading the gospel of your business.
  • Blogs are critical for social media use!


A few Social Media rules:

The Web is a Web

Marketing is changing. We all know that. Traditional marketing for business has included cold calling, mailings, walk-in sales reps, Yellow Pages, TV, print & radio advertising. These methods continue to be used to this day, of course, but they are disruptive by nature. A potential client is interrupted from their task at hand, and delivered a message. The marketer has to overcome the negative feelings of disturbing a busy prospect to deliver a sales message. Basically, there is already a strike against you before you even begin.

My Friend Roy

 

Roy Rogers saved many a innocent soul from villians, robbers and bad guys of the wild west. That was really nice of him. You could always count on him to show up at the right time and save the day. Roy saves the day.

eBay thinks I'm in love with Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I recently saw the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona. A great film about 2 Americans discovering the artistic and enjoyable Catalan culture. A few days later I decided to buy it on eBay, did some searches, found a copy from a reputable seller, and received it a few days later. All is well.

Custom Web Applications for Business Efficiency

Every business has that procedure that seems to just take way too much effort. That collection of information, that coordination of events, that display of inventory. These are the things that custom web applications solve. The unique challenges of business - your business - mean that you either have to live with it or come up with a better way. We are big fans of a better way! Businesses come to use with problems locating documents, sharing information, keeping their inventory current, and a myriad of other issues. But there is no "off the shelf" package that fits the specific needs of these operations. Every one is different. Off the shelf apps make you buy a bunch of stuff you don't need, and probably won't have everything you do need. Talk to us about a solution for your business - efficiency is the mantra, and your ROI will be putting a smile on your face.

Email Marketing is one of your biggest bangs for the buck

When building websites for clients, we always encourage customers to get an email list going on the site. Sometimes there are looks of incredulity, because who doesn't already get way too much email? Can't someone just come to the site and get what they need? Doesn't email from businesses get viewed as spam? All valid points, but there is a number of compelling reasons to include an email marketing campaign in your company's budget.
