7 Rules For Social Networking

Common Sense Social Networking Rules For Business

  1. If you wouldn't say it to a client or boss - don't say it where they can read it either.
  2. If you wouldn't say it to your grandmother - don't say it on your public posts.
  3. If you wouldn't say it to a police officer - don't post it on your social networks. For that matter, don't do it either.
  4. If you plan to lie to your boss - don't put the truth where they can see it.
  5. If you plan to go out and get drunk and know you have a tendency to post while drunk - give your phone to a friend to keep for you.
  6. Learn how to use privacy settings and understand how visible your posts are on different social networks.
  7. If you want a place to vent - create a completely different identity for yourself to do that. Name no names in your posts, and make no connection to your other profiles or email addresses.

For more help with social networking call Ad Trends Advertising, Inc. and ask for our Internet Marketing Director, Michael Montague. Call 816.228.1123.

The Black Friday List

black friday list

Our list of the top five ways to ready for Black Friday:

1. Measuring, measure, measure.

There are countless things you need to test before Black Friday. Test your marketing message, your sales offer, your sales capacity, your website functionality, your delivery and customer service. Don't wait until Thursday or Friday to find out you can't handle the volume that comes from the holiday season, or that your offer wasn't good enough to attract attention...

2. Don’t rely on your customers to point out issues.

Here is the stat: 95% of customers do not complain about issues when making a purchase. They just don't return. However, in a survey 45% said they would purchase again if the issue was resolved to their satisfaction. Don't just handle complaints, aggressively test your customer service and make sure every customer leaves happy.

3. Test the limits of your website.

Do you sell, list prices, or make announcements on your website? We probably don't have to tell you that more and more people are shopping, comparing prices, and buying online. Up to 45% of people check prices online before making a purchase. You need to make sure your site can handle the volume, function correctly, and is updated with the Black Friday offers and current marketing messages.

4. Take time to role play.

Before Black Friday hits, you need to test, re-test and role play for all possible scenarios... It sounds cheesy, but it works. Playing the part of your customers helps you see things from their perspective, and helps your staff prepare for possible troubleshooting. Test your buying experience, customer service, product performance and website functionality. It may look good to you, but does it fulfill the needs of your customers?

5. Have a back-up plan in place.

We all know Murphy's Law: if something can go wrong, it probably will. Especially during the holiday rush and Black Friday, when your staff and business system is being pushed to the limit something will go wrong. Make sure you have your back up plan in place. What happens if sales are low? What happens at record highs? What happens if your staff gets the flu? What happens if your supplier can't get you enough product? Who do you call if you website crashes? You will need a back-up plan and you will be happy you have one.

In conclusion, use the Boy Scout motto:
Be Prepared for Black Friday by doing the things on this list.

Ad Trends Advertising, Inc. can help you set up and test the perfect marketing plan for the holiday season, as well as help you sell online, but time is running out. With less than a month left, now is the time to take action and get those ads ready for Black Friday!

Promotional Hand Sanitizer

Use The Best Hand Sanitizer On The Market For Your Promotional Product This Flu Season

Promotional Hand Sanitizer

Promotional Hand Sanitizer stays on and in your prospects hands, and keeps your information at their fingertips.

This is not your typical cheap promotional hand sanitizer. CLEANpHIRST has new technology that is far superior not only to Alcohol-Based Sanitizers but to other Alcohol-Free Sanitizers that use BZK as the kill agent. Our inert ingredients and blending processes open up the cell walls of germs and enable the BZK to go in easily and kill these cells.

CLEANpHIRST Hand Sanitizer also stays on the hands and keeps on working for up to 30 minutes after application. Alcohol based sanitizers evaporate after 5 seconds and stop working leaving your skin open for contamination right away. Not only is our product better for your skin, it has proven superior effectiveness against MRSA, Staph, Norovirus and C-Diff at 3 times the kill rate of alcohol based sanitizers and is backed up by extensive testing. This promotional item is also NSF-E3 approved for Food Service which means that you can apply the product and immediately prepare or serve food.

CLEANpHIRST Custom Labeled Promotional Hand Sanitizer will last longer, protect more effectively, give you 3 times more applications than a gel without the negative side effects associated with alcohol based products.

  • 1-time art charge of $83.00
  • FREE art on orders of 500 or more
  • 4-color process full-color label
  • 5 - 10 day lead time from art approval
  • Contains 125 applications.
