Mobile App Development: The Benefits Of A Business Mobile App

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

In 2013, there is a big focus on mobile marketing. This is a good time for your business to invest in a business mobile app.

What is so great about mobile app development and a business mobile app?

For one, your business can increase the intimacy between your business and customers. Consumers can spend up to 23 hours a day using mobile devices. A business mobile app can help you spread the reach of your brand and message online and offline.

The great thing about a business mobile app is that you can alert consumers of specials, giveaways, coupons and discounts provide them at the drop of a dime via push notifications. On a mobile device these push notifications will alert mobile users on their main screen and increase the readability of your brand and message 97% on a daily basis.

Push notifications have increase added value in a way SMS texting and email marketing cannot do. Push notifications is highly cost effective.

Another great benefit of a business mobile app is two-way communication. You can have a mobile app developer create a link on the app that allows customers to forward testimonials and watch or read the testimonials of other customers.

If you have good products and services, you will be happy to display testimonials as proof of your quality work – photos, videos and reviews alike.

Here are some other great features your business mobile app can include:

Tap to call for instant order or customer support.
GPS mapping to help consumers locate your business on the go.
Direct links to social media marketing platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.

How do you find a good mobile app developer?

You can find one at Adventure Web Productions. A business mobile app can help your business tap into revenue streams you could have never imagined – from smartphones to tablets you will become part of the lives of consumers.

Smartphone and tablet users on average use a retail app to shop at least once a month (report from Nielsen).

Adventure Web Productions mobile app developers will help your business learn how to make money from your business mobile app and more importantly successfully reach out to your target audience on a daily basis.

We will test your app prior to releasing it to the app stores and public.

Responsive Design: What It Is And Why You Should Care.

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

Below is a Guest Blog from Joe Dawson that provides an overview on Responsive Web Design.

It’s clear at this point that if you don’t attract and interact with mobile users as part of your web marketing strategy, you do so at your own peril. Traffic from tablets and smartphones account for a quarter of traffic to many news sites and blogs. This generation of web traffic especially happens if you update your content frequently and have an online following. It is crucial that your website is mobile-friendly. Part of this process might be making your site easier to manipulate with swipes and finger taps instead of clicks. Optimizing the layout of your site also involves a fairly new web design principle called ‘responsive design.’

Responsive design is building or rebuilding a website so that users can view and interact easily with your site no matter what size screen they use. Generally speaking this means you don’t have to use one site for computer screens and another for mobile devices. This provides users on any platform to privilege to customize their viewing experience. Websites designed with responsive design incorporate ‘media queries,’ bits of software that try to determine what type of device the visitor is using.

Responsively designed websites resize differently than websites designed strictly for computer viewers. When all web pages were viewed on computer screens, designers made pages with rigid grid-like formats. Thoughtful designers made it so that you could make text bigger or smaller. Other than that, if you changed the size of a window or viewed it on a device that wasn’t a standard computer monitor, all you got was a chopped-off view of the page.

By Joe Dawson

Smartphones and tablets have advanced to the point where they can handle downloading full web pages instead of stripped-down ‘mobile’ versions of them. If sites are designed with full-size and tiny screens in mind, they can work in any browser, on any size screen.Take a look at the news site Mashable.com. Resize it. Try making it super skinny, then ultra-wide and everything in between. It looks good no matter what size it is, right?

By Joe Dawson

Instead of an inflexible grid for framework with text, titles, and pictures all locked in proportions, responsively designed sites have units that are much more fluid, blocks of text that stays together but can be resized, pictures that can fluctuate in dimensions, move around the page, and disappear according to the size of the browser.

One hurdle for designers making responsive websites is incorporating video players. Responsiveness is harder to apply to videos embedded in pages since players are much less flexible in terms of resizing than images. The other main obstacle to making a page with responsive design is the initial investment it takes to do so. It is difficult to ‘retrofit’ an existing website with responsive design, usually you must rebuild your site.

And if website owners can afford to, they should make the jump to responsive design as soon as possible. Tablets are on pace to outsell laptops sometime between this year and 2016, and having a mobile-ready site now puts you on track for future success.
Joe Dawson works and blogs for PrintingPeach.ca. They are a Canadian customer-service focused business that specializes in printing and web design/marketing.

The Web Marketing Benefits Of Enhanced Adwords

Monday, February 11th, 2013

Are you searching for affordable ways to promote your company’s products and services? If yes, we recommend Enhanced Google AdWords to your Business. Enhanced AdWords come with great benefits. This article will provide you an overview on Enhanced Adwords and how it could serve as a powerful marketing tool for your business.

This month Google has officially upgraded Adwords with enhanced business campaigns to make advertising your business simple and easy to manage.

What are the Benefits of Enhanced Adwords?

Adwords are great for business marketing because the ads can display perfectly on any technology device – PCs, Laptops, Smartphones, and Tablets just to name a few.

The ability to display on multiple devices creates numerous business opportunities for your business to generate leads that can convert into sales.

How?

The Adwords will configure the appropriate display for the need of the user at any given time.

For example, a user looking for a Valentines Day dinner for two at a restaurant via a PC will discover your ad based on the specific keyword(s) he/she is searching for. For example, your restaurant might sell crabcakes so the keyword “ Maryland crabcakes’ would display your business ad to the target audience and highlight a direct link to the restaurant online ordering form.

If a user is using a smartphone, it will display how far the restaurant is from his/her current location and a link to your business’ click-to-call reservation number/order number.

Adwords can even highlight daily specials or events on the ad based on the location, time of day and the device your potential costumers may be using.

This powerful marketing tool will make campaign management easier and design an affordable advertisement budget because bid adjustments can be processed at anytime, across multiple devices – from a single campaign.

And it gets better. The enhanced AdWords are smart ads optimized to accommodate diverse user contexts because advertisements need to be tailored for web users on the go.

Adwords can display as ad texts, site links, apps or extensions. Best of all, you will not have to edit every ad campaign to get the results you want and need to reach out to consumers. You will also have the privilege to accurately measure campaigns and compare the campaigns to each other to generate the best leads for your business. This includes counting calls to your business, tracking app downloads and more.

Adventure Web Productions is here to be your PPC Marketer and directly manage your AdWords Enhanced Mobile Campaigns to provide you the results you want for your business mobile search and mobile optimization.

The Benefits Of Twitter Embedded Videos And Photos For Tweets

Friday, February 1st, 2013

If you haven’t heard, the Social Media Network Twitter has redesigned not only its layout but also its tweet (message system) functionality.

The new functionality of tweets allows Twitter users to embed photos and videos into the 140-character message. The photos can even be displayed in a personalized twitter photo gallery, which includes its very own Twitter photo filter.

This redesign is huge for business marketers because it opens the door to more customer lead generation because picture and videos are easy to share, highly visual and effective.

Video files can be shared from YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo, and Ustream (live streaming video) without leaving Twitter’s social media platform.

Video and photo sharing on Twitter is now faster, easier and richer.

How can your business benefit from this redesign? Your business can now input as much enriching content as possible to your Twitter Business page to directly reach out to your targeted audiences. Promotable Tweets can include flyer advertisements, business commercials, event photos and more.

Twitter is a must for business marketing solutions because Twitter has roughly 160 million users and this number is growing every month.

Here are a few ways you can use embeddable tweets to generate new leads and more effectively market your business:

Expand the reach of your Twitter Business conversations by sharing your tweets outside of your Twitter network. Tweets can be shared directly on your company website, business blog and a variety of business social media platforms.
Embed customer testimonials and positive comments about your business products and services. Consumers love to hear good reviews about company’s they are potentially seeking products/ services from. Twitter widgets are now available for you to add to your website as a list of customer testimonials.
Embed business event invitations to your Twitter community. You can also add opinions and valuable ideas from your industry into your company blog posts.

How To Spot A Deceptive Invoice Solicitation

Tuesday, January 8th, 2013

Have you ever checked your mailbox or email and noticed an invoice from a company you were not 100% sure handles your corporate services or provides goods?

If yes, it’s important to look into the company before you address any request for fee of services. There are numerous businesses soliciting unnecessary services and you need to beware of deceptive solicitation invoices.

One deceptive invoice you may have come across is DNS Services at dnssvc.com.

The company named DNS Services has been sending out articles that come across as invoices to clients with the amount of a $65 annual fee for ‘ Managed DNS Backup Business Services’.

At first glance, you may believe it’s an authentic invoice but it is not an invoice at all.

It’s an offer to sign up for DNS backup services. The DNS Services Company has been able to keep up this marketing because the disclaimer on the document uses solicitation language in the middle of the article that resembles an invoice.

The disclaimer says that DNS Services is a solicitation for you to order goods, services, or both. The article also mentions that the solicitation is not a bill, invoice or statement of account due. Last but not least, the article states you have no obligation to make any payments unless you accept the offer.

To prevent your company from being a victim of deceptive invoices, always discard the mailers or emails sent from DNS Services or other company solicitations.

Don’t risk your staff sending payments to DNS Services for a service you never had. Inform your company’s administrative staff to read all invoices in full prior to sending out payments to any unfamiliar source.

There should also be a log kept of external service providers.

Here are some ways you can spot an invoice solicitation:

You are receiving a bill for a good or service you haven’t formally purchased or being offered a service that’s tremendously succeeds the market value.
A directory list is made with renewal printed on an invoice. The document is often of poor quality and the directory circulation is very limited.
Your company is listed on the bill as a very important client on a publication such as a college alumni newsletter or executive listing. It often will say the listing is free if you sign and return the invoice as a notification. The document is actually making you agree to buy a high price directory.
Domain renewals can also be invoice solicitations.Often this form of solicitation displays prices that are always inflated for a lengthy period of time. The only legitimate domain renewal notice you will receive is the one from the company you purchased your domain name from.
Invoices from unaccountable office supply orders. Usually the scammers give your business a call to identify office supply decision makers prior to sending out the invoice solicitation. To avoid this scam, your company should issue purchase order numbers for every purchase and check all invoices against the original order.

To protect your business from unnecessary solicited products and services, hire Adventure Web Productions to provide you reliable and creditable web development and marketing services.

The Benefits Of Business Reviews And Review Filters

Monday, January 7th, 2013

What is the purpose of business reviews?

Business reviews are displayed throughout the Internet to connect consumers with great local businesses.

Consumers are able to discover quality products and services and local businesses have an easier time retaining quality customers.

Business review pages are designed to be a source of trusted business review content. To assure the majority of content on review pages is trustworthy, review filters are set in place.

The automated review filter is present to protect consumers and business owners from fake or malicious reviews.

The benefit of having a review filter is that the most useful consumer reviews are ranked the highest on business review sites and throughout the web.

No longer can business owners rely on simply providing excellent services and making their business operations speak for it.

Consumers now can speak for brands, whether good or bad. Once a reputation is tarnished, it’s hard to recover.

There will be business owners who write their own reviews or pay others to writer business reviews for them. There will be business competitors’ posting negative reviews to take away your customers.

These dishonest practices are unfair to consumers and honest businesses.

To prevent an erosion of trust about your business, review filters are a necessity. The review filters will maintain a positive word-of-mouth your business has actually earned.

Adventure Web Productions is here to monitor, filter and maintain your business reviews to protect the integrity of your website content. We will also direct consumers to your business website as a top place for making a purchasing decision while giving them the opportunity to provide your business beneficial feedback.
