Google Places Puts Your Business on the Map
First there was Google Maps that gave you a birds-eye view of the world. But that wasn’t good enough, so Google gave us Google Street that allowed us to place the little yellow figure on designated streets to see a 360 degree view of the area. Now you can add valuable information about your business while prospects are standing right in front of your virtual door step. Everyone should set up this free listing for their business. Here are some helpful tips for Google Places.
Get your place in Google Places.
The first thing you need to do is set up a Google Places account for your business. This free directory displays your business phone number, website, operating hours and additional photos directly in Google Street view. Now customers get essential information without leaving the map. To set up your Google Places account, visit http://www.google.com/places.
Offer a reward.
Create a promotion that is specific to your Google Places entry. If you’re the type of business that uses coupons, here’s an opportunity to distribute one at no cost to you. From your entry you can drive people to your website for additional interactions with your business. With this information you can find out exactly how many visitors have come to your website through Google Places.
Support is key.
Customers can rate their experience with you in Google Places, and the difference between a four star and a five star business can be a deal breaker for some searchers. If customers have a great experience with your business they’ll share it. Conversely a bad review is just as likely to seep out onto the web. So give your customers the service and experience you want shared with the world. Don’t be afraid to encourage customers to write a review.

Your business card is your first impression...
...so be sure to get it right first time.
If you have a good business running full time and it is flourishing every moment then surely you will need business cards for various reasons pertaining to your business. They are a good source of advertisement and you can get business card printing done at very low rates almost anywhere. Nevertheless, it is better to get business card printing done by the best in this business. Professionally, if you want your business cards to promote your business well then it is better to deal with a person than a website.
Avoiding Traps:
There are several common mistakes that people make while getting business cards printed. Some of them use sub standard materials - wrong paper or wrong ink – remember these cards are a showcase to your actual business. Hence, you must design them so that they are appealing and at the same time a good advertising source too. So, get professionals to design your business cards.
Avoid creating cryptic cards. Just getting your business name and e-mail address or phone number printed on the card not enough. Clearly define what your business all about so that people get a good idea about your business. Unless people are impressed they won’t become your clients.
Sometimes it happens we try cramming as much information as possible in a small card. This is a bad move. It is a bad idea to get your business card over crowded. This will ward off any prospective client and won’t help in any way.
Incorporating Unique Elements:
Creating a good business card involves the incorporation of unique ideas. It should be eye catching and should give your message in short and effective manner. It is also very important to have proper colour contrasts so that the card is easy to read for one and all.
Reasons not to Print Online:
It is best to get your business card printing done by a business with a personal touch, with someone who will look at your design and advise on the best colours, stock and finish. One of the reasons is that with this method you can easily avoid all the common issues that will arise. Moreover, they will have good and experienced professional who will provide the best solution according to your requirements. It also saves a lot of time that would have been spent if you had to keep running all around to buy stuff you require.
If you want to get the best business cards printed to advertise or expand your business then you can get it done only with the help of companies like Minuteman Press.

Getting to know your customers...
What would your world be like without customers? Some may have answered, “a lot easier!” But truth of the matter, without customers you wouldn’t be in business very long. Customer service has always been key to growing your business. Remember how important those customers are to your success! Here are some ways to really get to know your customers.
Make it personal
Pick up your phone and call some of your best customers. This will show them that you truly care about their business. You may be amazed at the personal connections you can make, and also how you can help each other professionally. Another option is writing a few personal thank you cards.
Conduct a survey
Get inside the heads of your customers. A survey is a great way to find out what your customers think of your business. Knowing what your customers want is usually half the battle. A survey will give you insights into new directions for your business to go.
Do some research
Lastly, do some market research. Do you know your target market? What types of customers are producing the best revenue for you? Research lets you learn how to keep your best customers and how to reach more like them.

Where has the time gone?
Get direct with your customers.
Sometimes people need a little reminder that they should come see you. A well designed direct mail piece gives your customers and prospects a reason to stop by your business. A good call to action, such as a special offer, helps you track the success of your mailing and gives a higher probability for increased sales. Remember to segment and clean your lists to get the right messages to the right people for better success.
Put something in their in-box.
An e-mail marketing campaign can be deployed quickly and reach a large number of people, if you’ve been collecting e-mail addresses. Offer a special to drive people to your store or website. Remember, just because you can doesn’t always mean you should. Have an e-mail strategy that ensures you have something to offer every time you hit send.
Don’t forget your business card.
With every encounter there may be an opportunity. You never know when you’ll run into a future customer. Go to a networking event or two and try to drum up business the old fashioned way, face-to-face. Take along some business cards and maybe your direct mail piece to encourage business.
Socialise with your customers.
Do your Facebook and Twitter accounts need a little love? Many have jumped onto social networking sites, so it’s a perfect location to get your customer’s attention. Become active in that realm and you could build brand loyalty. Give them a reason to refer your business to their friends and colleagues to help spread your word.
Stop reading and get busy. Before you know it, we’ll be popping the corks for 2011
