IMAD SCOTLAND Email Newsletter \u2013 2013 (1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to our new Quarterly Newsletter email. This service covers general information for our customers and internet\/web design\/marketing topics.<\/p>\n

Please follow us on Facebook and our Blog for more continual interaction and updates.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IMAD SCOTLAND BLOG<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have initiated a new blog from January 2013. This will have handy tips about marketing, social media, computer issues and tech news etc..<\/p>\n

There will also be a developing index of useful links for the above categories<\/p>\n

We will generally also replicate blog posts on our Facebook Page via links<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SOCIAL MEDIA PROMOTION AND SUPPORT<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are happy to help all customers with on-going support to increase website hits<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facebook and Twitter are growing rapidly monthly \u2013 make sure it is part of your on going marketing strategy<\/strong>
\n Even minimal posts and interaction a few times a week will increase your marketing exposure<\/strong>
\n Try to get into the habit of spending a few hours on social media on a weekly basis<\/strong>
\n Make new friends, post offers, updates, promote new items, a sale item, post new pictures, get new likes on your page<\/strong>
\n Include direct links to your website \u2013 just type your website address at the end of the message<\/strong><\/p>\n

if we have set up a Twitter account and Facebook Page for you then Facebook posts will replicate to Twitter<\/strong>
\n Try also to build up you Twitter Followers \u2013 the more followers the more people see your posts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you interacting with your FRIENDS and LIKES on Facebook?<\/strong> Try posting messages on at least alternate days with updates and new offers\/promotions.
\nYour FRIENDS<\/strong> are your market on your Facebook personal page \u2013 try not to over advertise to personal friends though by keeping it short and spaced out
\nYour LIKES<\/strong> are your market on your Facebook Business Page
\nThe Facebook Business Page is just an add on application in your personal account \u2013 you will see links to it on your Facebook home page\/left vertical menu<\/p>\n

You don’t need to bombard people with messages to get exposure \u2013 in fact subtle simple one-off messages are much better
\nIn your messages ask people to SHARE the message for you<\/strong> \u2013 this spreads its output
\ntry being creative and adding a picture or a special offer or something new of interest
\nTry and build up the LIKES on your Facebook Page especially
\nIf you would like a quick message or promotion or an image with some design we can help you with this \u2013 just send us a message or email<\/p>\n

We can help most customers with Facebook postings for free as part of their service<\/p>\n

Just send us a message telling us of a promotion, new product\/key product image, sale item etc.,<\/p>\n

Additionally we normally promote you regularly on our other Facebook pages and groups we run if you have an on-going marketing package with us<\/p>\n

we also set up portal pages for all customers which promotes you on a secondary internet location linking to your website<\/p>\n

Ideally the more places of exposure on the internet for your business the better<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you utilising your website to its potential for increasing business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your website is not updated regularly or promoting new products then this decreases the interest for visitors.<\/p>\n

Try a SALES\/PROMO Page updated monthly or quarterly?<\/p>\n

Consider selling Items on your website or open an EBay Shop as secondary avenue \u2013 you could have links to eBay from your website<\/p>\n

Make sure you have social media links to and from your website<\/p>\n

Make sure you are registered on Google paces as a business http:\/\/www.google.com\/places\/<\/p>\n

Google Places can increase your website hits and search profile<\/p>\n

Consider adding a blog\/news section to your website for interacting with customers<\/p>\n
