A Special Kind of Clean Up

marketing consulting

A client recently contacted me about doing more social media posting.  First step was to see which platforms she had set up and what had been done so far.

Come to find out, there were:

2 Gmail accounts
                 1 with a business page
                 1 with a YouTube channel
1 Yahoo
2 Instagram accounts
3 YouTube channels
                  No clue what emails 2 of them went to
1 Twitter account she didn’t need
2 Facebook business page
1 MailChimp account
 

Before we could get to work, the client had to reset all of the passwords because she didn’t have a good list of Usernames and Passwords.  THIS INFO IS CRITICAL TO YOUR BUSINESS! Use LastPass or another password keeper to record all usernames, passwords, PIN#, security questions. (Another client couldn’t access one of her accounts because she couldn’t remember if the answer to the security question was farmer, Farmer or cotton farmer.  Capitalization counts in passwords and security answers!!)

We went to each account and reviewed the info. Every profile had different information! There was no consistency in the services she said she was offering, the descriptions of the services or even the way she had input the company name!  This is very detrimental to your marketing efforts.  Branding 101 requires that you use the same company name every time, every where. Then to increase your Search Engine Optimization you need to use the same keywords to list your services and to describe them.

Keywords
Keep a list of your keywords by your computer. Everything you write for your website, your social media, your eNewsletters, etc. should use these words. Why?  Keywords are what your clients use to search for your services on Google, on Facebook, on Instagram.  If you are sloppy with your keywords, they can’t find you.

Before you get too self-righteous about the mess this poor client was in, I challenge you to go look at your site and profiles right now!  You may find the same confusion!

Cornerstone Cabinet Company

Cornerstonecabco.com

New web site
Beautiful custom cabinets deserve a beautiful custom web site to show them off!  The primary goal of the Cornerstone web site is to display the wonderful photos the company has of completed projects. YCL created portfolios by room and also by project to better fit the visitors’ needs.  In addition, Cornerstone wanted to “brag” about the high quality manufacturers they work with. YCL developed pages for each manufacturer with photos, information and links to the manufacturers’ sites where necessary.

Social Media
There’s a lot to learn about cabinets! Owner, Chris Boulton, had written a series of articles titled Cabinets 101.  YCL is adding to that knowledge base with articles about new counter-top surfaces, current trends in cabinets, colors, lighting, and even cabinet “jewelry!”

Email Marketing
A monthly email gets Cornerstone’s name in front of prospects to encourage purchase decisions. It also keeps Cornerstone top of mind with clients, designers and vendors who can give referrals.

YCL provides marketing support for f64 Gallery

Key photo_25Welcome f64 Gallery to the Your Computer Lady Family

Your Computer Lady prefers WordPress websites for a myriad of reasons. Yet there are circumstances where WordPress is not the best option. YCL can work with other software!

Take f64Gallery.com.  The f64 website was built using software specifically built for photographers. It has many features crucial to a photographer. So YCL is expanding the site.

  • The site’s themes don’t have footers so we added the typical footer info to the bottom of a page.
  • The site doesn’t offer any plug-ins so we found different ways to add social media links, a map of the Gallery’s location, etc.

F64 Gallery hadn’t started their social media work yet so YCL jumped in to help. We set up Facebook, Pinterest and Houzz with consistent information to strengthen corporate branding. Elan is a great photographer but a not-so-great author. Pamela is interviewing Elan to get technical details for the website as well as stories about his art and techniques. Pamela then writes the posts for Elan’s review.

Your Computer Lady is assisting with other marketing projects as Elan needs help. As I’ve said before, YCL will do as much or as little as the client needs to be successful.

An Interior Designer’s Site – Jantu

WordPress Website

Lea Porter, President of Jantu Design, worked with YCL on her first website a few years ago. It was time to update! We converted to a WordPress site. Lea can update the site pages herself. We added two photo galleries that allow her to really showcase her projects.

Social Media Plan

YCL is going to write short blog posts for her that will also be Facebook posts. We don’t expect a lot of Lea’s clients to become regular bloggers. However, the blog will give visitors a clear picture of Lea’s expertise and capabilities. The blog will also make the search engines happy. SEO isn’t a big need for Jantu Design but it’s worthwhile to do a little bit of work to keep them indexing the site.

The Facebook posts will occasionally be boosted posts to expand her network of contacts to bring in leads as well as return clients. Boosting a post gives you a much wider reach now that Facebook has moved to a “pay to play” mode. The prices are reasonable for a small business.
