Website Resolution
Do you sometimes find it difficult to keep your website up to
date? Do you forget to promote your website now and then? Do
you periodically forget to utilize your website to save time
and money by posting answers to questions often asked by
customers? Do you forget that your website can be used as a 24
hour a day, 7 days a week salesman that never complains about
overtime?
If you answered one or more of these questions affirmatively,
don't feel bad, even companies with full time webmasters face
these problems at times. There is a solution or should I say a
resolution that may help. It is simple yet effective. Resolve
to spend a few minutes each week determining if you are fully
utilizing the advantages your website has to offer. For many
businesses, fifteen minutes per week devoted to making sure
your website is up to date, fully utilized, and promoted is
all it takes to achieve the maximum benefits your site has to
offer.
Like your physical store or office your website requires
periodic maintenance. If you didn't clean or have your store
or office cleaned regularly what would it look like? Let’s not
dwell on that thought for long. Your website requires a little
attention to keep it swept clean of old data. Polish the text
now and then to keep it current and your website can be a very
powerful tool. And like your physical store, every now and
then a deep, thorough cleaning may be necessary.
Do you ever add new equipment to make your life a little
easier in your physical store or office? Of course you do, and
with internet technology advancing with leaps and bounds there
may be times when adding a new tool to your website makes
sense as well. Tools like online Help Desks have proven to be
time savers for many businesses, internet scheduling makes
sense for some, and online training or tutorial systems can
save time and cut costs dramatically. A myriad of new online
tools are being created everyday.
So this New Year, (and I sincerely hope Your’s is a Happy one)
resolve to take a few minutes each week to get the most out of
your website. This is one resolution that is certain to pay
off. |
A New Twist on an Old Favorite
'Twas the Day After Christmas
'Twas the Day After Christmas and sales were sluggish
My solitaire game was running slowly, my computer a little
buggish
Christmas left our stock room full ready and waiting
Our sales manager sat in the corner crying, why was he
hesitating
The Boss paced in his office wearing a groove in the floor
I heard a gentle rapping, a tapping, a gentle knock at the
door
I reached for the door knob and opened slowly to let him in
An elfish man entered and scanned the room with a grin
He had such a presence although his stature was small
Confidence radiated from him, it affected us all
He strode to a chair and spun it around right towards me
With one smooth little motion he climbed up on one knee
Then when he stood, he seemed a bit taller than most
Our sales manager turned to listen he was white as a ghost
As he spoke his first words his voice boomed off the walls
He spoke of Christmas, Mistletoe and Decking the Halls
He said it was simple and we all must draw near
He had a message that was important for all of us to hear.
He paused for affect and explained why sales had been such a
bomb
It was really quite simple we forgot to promote our Dot Com!
Happy Holidays!
