The latest tips I've posted to TipDrop.
| You don't have to limit it to just your competitors, you can also use it to monitor your business and even yourself. Want to know if someone says something bad about your biz, Alerts will let you know. Tip Credibility: 25 |
| Want to know what your competition is up to? Have you tried Google Alerts! With this, you can enter the names of your competition and get real-time updates anytime anything appears on the web mentioning them. Tip Credibility: 28 |
| Scan your documents and burn them to a disc. Then you can store the backup offsite. I then place the important stuff into a plastic waterproof bag and and have them stored in a metal container filled with water. Pretty much fireproof. Tip Credibility: 47 |
| 1. Including TOO much information. KISS applies
2. Using the same colors as the surrounding surfaces so the banner blends in.
3. Trying to be too elegant and making it hard to read
4. Making it TOO simple and not having any impact
5. Too small to read Tip Credibility: 5 |
| There are many ways to display banners indoors. Not only can you use floor standing displays, but there are many options to hang banners from the ceiling. Why? Banners can be changed out and used year after year, saving you money. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| I have use MyTweetspace.com for 2 Twitter accounts. It is easy to design and modify. Will upload to your Twit acct automatically. Very professional looking designs. Tip Credibility: 7 |
| I have found widget logic to be invaluable. If you have a lot of widgets, but don't want each one to show on every page, WL lets you pick which pages a widget shows on. I use it to show blog related widgets only on the blog page, and not on other pages. Tip Credibility: 37 |
| I created a feeder blog that compiles general articles about the items I sell. I placed content specific banner ads on the blog back to my site. The articles draw people in, then they see my ad for a product they are interested in. Good results so far. Tip Credibility: 27 |
| If you are using a local/regional supplier, never order online. Call them and ask them to quote you on a product. Tell them you are getting multiple quotes from suppliers. I have saved 15% on average on my equipment for my new biz. Tip Credibility: 27 |
| Look for local small biz groups on Facebook. I was able to build personal relationships with many potential customers before I even opened. Bid on several jobs before opening b/c of FB. People go to a biz that they trust. Personal contact builds trust. Tip Credibility: 25 |
