Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Are you looking for ways to help your company stand out in the social media arena? If yes, we are here to help! One great way to do this is designing a stunning Facebook page. What is something most Facebook users will notice on a Facebook page? They would notice font choices. Remember, text is meant to be read and a truly great font is one that has a hint of style but still easy to read. Read below for 10 stunning font choices your fans will love and keep them coming back for more great content!

Combo #1: Marketing Script and Qlassick

The two-font choices together will result in a clean and stylish font design. The body text is size 16 for comfortable reading. This font works well on Facebook’s Fan page layout because the page is only 520 pixels wide. It gives your content paragraphs a nice compact look. A size 16 fonts will guarantee your visitors can read your statuses even when sitting 2-3 feet from their monitors.

Combo #2: Androgyne, Arial Rounded and GeoSansLight

The fonts here have a slightly curvy font to them. The Arial rounded can be used to create great navigation links, to make them stand out more. The GeoSansLight and Androgyne share the same style of “a”.

Combo #3: Nor-et-Blanc and Sansation

Roughly 64% of Facebook users are fans of at least one company. This is enough of an initiative for you to have a Facebook Company Page to gain loyal fans and increase your company’s profits. The objective is to have fans become involved with your updates, spread positive word of mouth about your business and become strong advocates on your company through the social network Facebook.

Here are five quick ways to start attracting fans to your Company page.

Link your Website and Online listings to your Company’s Facebook Page.

Facebook is a great tool for your company to utilize to display your existing website and directory listings. Make sure you display a prominent link to your Facebook company page to add credibility to your business and allow visitors to your page know that you are active in the social space. When fans “like” your Facebook page, they can take advantage of special offers that you post exclusively to your page.

Promote your Facebook Page to your Customers

If you are a small business, Facebook is a great tool to help you interact with your customers and benefit greatly from word of mouth advertising. Discover tactics that can help you communicate with customers every day. Most customers that have a positive experience with a company will want to connect with the company on a daily basis. Be sure to make it easy for customers to find you on social networks. Some great ways to help customers find your Facebook page is to put that you are on Facebook on receipts, state it on follow-up or reminder phone calls, state it on after-hours voice-mail messages, place it on your special offer emails and display it on print advertisement.

How to Get Social Media Users to Follow your Brand

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Curious as to why people follow brands on Facebook and Twitter? Then we are here to help you obtain more of an understanding on what draws in Likes, Re-tweets and Follows on your most used social media networks.

Social Media sites are very powerful marketing tools for brands online. A recent info-graphic published by Get Satisfaction and Column Five Media suggest that positive online brand experiences create loyal customers the more customers can be engaged by a brand in digital space.

Potential and existing customers can be engaged by participating in a contest, by liking or re-tweeting a brand on Facebook or Twitter. Those who are engaged with a brand tend to purchase products and make recommendations to their friends, coworkers, and family.

But why are social media users becoming more engaged in brands through online marketing? The answer appears to be that 36.9% of Facebook users and 43.5% of Twitter users want to connect with brands to stay in the loop with special offers. In addition to these statistics, 70% of social media users say they engage with brands online to participate in a contest or sweepstakes. The results reveal that social media users want to gain benefits from engaging with your brand. Social media users do not want to be subjected to the same content over and over again. They want brands creative with offers and ones that create new offers they have never received.

Brands and social media users alike want meaningful and beneficial relationships on social media.

Here are just a few suggestions to make your brand have meaningful and beneficial relationships with social media users:

  1. Your brand can establish meaningful relationships with social media users by responding to mentions in a timely fashion on Twitter or responding to questions posted on your brands Facebook “wall”.
  2. Make your status updates thoughtful to always make your social media users feel connected to your brand on a daily basis.
  3. Post a contest to draw excitement to your brand.
  4. Post weekly or daily blog posts.
  5. Measure what type of content gets the most return of comments and impressions.
  6. Make sure whatever your brand may be offering to social media users can be promoted regularly using social media with links that direct back to the landing pages of your website.

The Carson Harris Foundation_1307989169320

Carson’s Story

In January of 2007, we took our 5-month old daughter, Carson, to Johns Hopkins Hospital because she was having what appeared to be seizures. Twelve hours, a spinal tap and an EEG scan of her brain later we were told that she has a rare form of Epilepsy called “Infantile Spasms”. There are no words to describe the emotions we experienced upon hearing the news that our daughter had about a 20% chance of recovering. Fortunately for us, Johns Hopkins has one of the best pediatric epilepsy programs in the country so we were immediately seen by specialists who have hands on experience with this rare disorder. We were offered multiple forms of treatment, including a regiment of steroids called ACTH, Vigabatrin, Topamax and a more radical approach that Hopkins happens to specialize in called the ketogenic diet.

Our Mission

To increase awareness on the issues that affect individuals with epilepsy and raise funds in support of clinical and research efforts on the diagnosis of epilepsy and its treatment including, but not limited to, diets, surgery, and anticonvulsant medications.
