Creative Internet Marketing

I have been writing about various aspects of internet marketing for a while.  It's just been my guess that everybody could use a an extra idea or two when it come to venturing into unknown waters.  

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Jill Lampi and attended a webinar that she held explaining LinkedIn.  Shortly after we started Georgianna Hardware a friend of mine suggested that I register with LinkedIn but facebook, Twitter and G+ received a lot more attention.  When I saw Jill's webinar I decided rather than ignore LinkedIn I should learn more about it.  Jill made the process easy!

Jill Lampi is a Creative Internet Marketing Professional that assists entrepreneurs, coaches, artists and experts in all types of industries in developing and implementing complete Internet Marketing plans that embrace the power of the Internet as a learning and sharing tool.  Personally, I believe that her professional approach to internet marketing makes her a force to be reckoned with.  

Jill Lampi is offering a free webinar on April 7, 2014.  I know I told you before but this is your reminder!  Jill's webinar training shares great information about Facebook Advertising whether you've ever run an ad or not. Newbies are  welcome!  During this webinar, you'll learn: How Facebook Remarketing can boost your current marketing campaigns
, how to activate your own remarketing pixel
 and strategies you can implement with your first Facebook ad campaign
.  

What is remarketing?  The answer from Jill's web site is:
  Have you ever gone to Amazon.com and searched for a book or product you were interested in, then noticed  when you went back to Facebook that that VERY product or book is now part of your advertising feed?  That’s Remarketing.

I suggest that you make the time to attend the webinar on April 7,2015 at  9 AM PST / 11 AM CST / 5 PM CET.  I assure you it will be a great investment of your time.

Facebook Changes Again

Facebook is giving business users more accurate reports and they chose to do so by eliminating "likes" given by users that are inactive.  This is supposed to improve reports and should give up-to-date insights on the people who follow a business page.

I'm thinking this will only make it easier for facebook to sell their targeted marketing because they will have more specifics as to what users are interested in and you will notice an increase in the cost to advertise.

In the case of Georgianna Hardware Corporation, all businesses that "liked" the GHC page were deleted.  I did not see a decrease in my business page "likes" because businesses that "liked" the page were never reported in the total number of page "likes" visible to visitors but I did notice that my news feed was greatly reduced.

As for correcting this problem it seems only a human can "like" a page.  Mr. Z made some comment about names needing to be connected, not businesses.  I did have the thought of a few of my past rants about accountability but I squashed it like a bug when it turned into a current event issue! Anyway, I haven't found a way around their new policy.

If I find any way we can get around having every business under our personal account I will let you know.  In the mean time, Toyota Lift of Minnesota published The #FBLT Facebook B2B Listing 700+ Strong on February 25, 2012.  It's always a good reference. You are welcome to join the FBLT on Google+ community.  Considering the Google-Twitter partnership made recently your business should be taking a close look at their social networking strategy.

Taking My Own Advice

This is a little difficult but I can see that I need to take my own advice.  I seriously hate it when I must assume the responsibilities and behave like an adult instead of just continuing to have fun with my job.  I've spent a little while pouting but it's no fun so I am just going to move along.

First, please like Georgianna Hardware Corporation on facebook.  Doing a Google search for "facebook is" produced a fun list of options like "for idiots, a waste of time" and also, "dangerous".  Well, we've all thought about something like that at one time or another but it is a fun, easy way to connect with others.

I try to maintain all of the GHC social pages.  We are active on G+, Twitter and Pinterest as well as facebook.   I thank you for taking the time to follow Georgianna Hardware Corporation and look forward to making more friends.  Buy American!
