1. The Unsexy Side of Digital: Web Tools for Better Business Operations

    There’s so much more to social media than farms and tweeters.

    Join us next Tuesday, and we’ll show you free online tools to help you tame and prioritize your email inbox, store and share files from anywhere in the world, and dismiss expensive business software.

    Pretty amazing, right?

    Here’s a sneak peek at some of the things you’ll learn.

    How to make technology your personal assistant – all for free.

    • Easily manage your calendar and automatically schedule appointments,
    • Get reminders about important events or tasks, right when you need them,
    • Save and manage standard replies to common emails or questions,
    • And automatically manage your emails so that you see only what’s important.

    How to have the same tools as a large corporation – without the cost.

    • Setup professional phone and fax systems for less than you pay for parking,
    • Access your documents from any computer with internet access,
    • Have everything backed up automatically,
    • And have the latest software (legally) for a fraction of the cost.

    How to build stronger relationships with your customers without leaving the office.

  2. The Quick & Dirty Guide to Social Media

    As a social media agency based in a mid-sized town, we can tell when something has finally come into the mainstream. We are seeing record numbers of businesses jumping into social media platforms, from blogs to Facebook to video. We’re here for the businesses who want and need customized solutions for their social media, interactive and online marketing presence, but we understand the draw of free marketing for businesses and organizations who are out there doing it all on their own, with little-to-no budget to make the path smoother.

    We designed our Quick & Dirty Guide to Social Media with the intent that business owners, organizations and individuals, using social media personally or professionally, could in one short read glean some of our hard-won experience and put it to work in their own social media efforts.

    The social media world is more nuanced than the beginner may realize. We hope that this guide provides you with direction, resources and a little extra armor for heading into battle.

    Our guide is also available as a presentation. If you’re interested in having us give this presentation to your group, contact us via email.
