So many organizations feel overwhelmed by the need to create content for every social media channel on the planet. Or worse yet, many brands create one type of content and then blast that content onto every social platform. If that’s you, you need a social media channel plan.

Metrics: Is Your Website Working For You as your Marketing Tool

Contrary to popular belief, a website is not a black hole that sucks away money and gives nothing back. Many business owners feel that they keep pumping money into their websites without knowing exactly what they are paying for. Exactly what does monthly linkbuilding or blogging get them anyways? Is any of this actually generating new business? All of these questions can be answered with one simple word: metrics. Website metrics is a way to measure and analyzing your site’s performance. Metrics will tell you how many visits your website gets, where those visits are coming from, what content is the most popular, and so forth. There are several ways to measure traffic on your site but the easiest way is Google Analytics.

The code is not visible on the page, but it does record the volume of traffic to your site, the pages visited, and more. You can then review the information on the Google Analytics Dashboard. Best practice for tracking website traffic Install Google Analytics immediately — ideally when you first set up or update the [...]

Exhibition design considerations

The right exhibit design supports your business goals and will best serve your marketing and sales efforts. While your display should look good from every angle on the show floor, it should also be oriented to face the heaviest flows of traffic. Graphics are the most important factor of your display. Graphics attract attention, convey your business message and build identity of your brand, complementing your marketing strategy, and presenting a unified and cohesive message. Draw visitors to you with commanding graphics at high points where they may be viewed from a distance and ensure that you’re visible from every direction. An open design is easily accessible from multiple entry points, welcoming to potential clients and offers easy visitor flow within your space. Use something or someone to attract passersby and encourage them to stop. The attraction you choose may involve one or more of the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Studies indicate that a display featuring an activity creates more memorability than a static one. Highlighting new and popular products is essential. Which products you need in your exhibit, their sizes and quantities will guide where and how to show them to their best sales advantage. [...]
