The Business of Blogging: Why you need a business blog and how to get started

“…your website contains static information. Now, that’s information that hardly ever changes. For example, you’re not really going to change your About Us page that often. You’re not going to think of a new product description every month for the same exact product. So, in a way, those pieces of information become a bit stale over time to your regular customers. So, what can you do? Offer them new content on your blog.”

This week’s article outlines 10 great tips about what blogs can do for your business.

  1. Having a blog means gaining a better customer base
  2. Blogs nurture loyalty
  3. Your blog can lead to long-term interest

The Business of Video Marketing

“…if given a choice between video or text-based marketing, more than two in three people would prefer watching a clip than reading about a product. …”

More and more companies are using videos to grow their businesses. Videos can be used for many different reasons from building awareness around their company and it’s culture, to be seen by and attract more ideal customers, to conveying why what they offer is different from what competitors offer, to creating explainer videos discussing tips for using the company’s most popular products.

If you’d like to discuss how video marketing could be a benefit to your online marketing strategy, contact us at 403-257-7047 for more information.
