Pinterest for Business – Small Business Tips
Donald Rush : April 18th, 2012Is Pinterest right for your business? Pinterest is centered around graphic content. It is a way to share images of things that are of interest to you and your friends. If your business doesn’t have a website that showcases images of things that people want to share with their friends it may not be a good fit for you. I would recommend signing up and seeing how it works. Play around with it for a while and see if you can make it work for your business. If it is not a natural fit. Don’t force it. There is probably something else you could be doing to benefit your business with that time. Oh and it is by invitation only. So you will have to find a current user to send you an invite. That shouldn’t be to hard since they have over ten million users.
What do you think of Pinterest? Do you use it for your business. Have you seen an increase in traffic to your website because of it?
Networking Groups – Nashville Website Design
Donald Rush : April 16th, 2012Networking groups like the ones found at a local Chamber of Commerce can be very helpful to a small business. There are other networking groups provided by organizations like BNI Business Networking International. If you are a small business looking for an affordable way to get exposure for your local business, these are a great option. Networking lets you get in front of a large number of business people and explain why your product is valuable. Individuals at these groups will then be more likely to refer you business because they know you, and they know more about what you do. So if you are a website design company in Nashville and they hear that someone needs a website. They will most likely refer that business to you. Because they know you.
