Your landing page is one of the most important aspects of your online advertising campaign. It's where potential customers will land after clicking on your ad, and it's your chance to make a good first impression and convince them to take action.

Reputation Management

Posted by Wally Narwhal on Mar 28, 2014 8:06:00 AM

Every time I am looking at going to a new place to eat, to stay, to spend time in, I look at the reviews. I look at the amount of stars and I read what people write. If there is nothing but negative reviews there I move on. I am not interested in spending time at a place that isn’t liked. It’s a yelp generation and it’s crucial that businesses adapt to it.

Monitor

One of the most important things about having different social media platforms is good monitoring. You can schedule posts to go out, but remember not to forget about your pages.  Even if you just check in once a day you will be able to put out fires before they start.  We generally check our social media throughout the day. This makes it easy to be on the top of the game. It’s important to check what your customers are writing and what they think.

Be Public On Facebook

Posted by Wally Narwhal on Dec 26, 2013 6:04:00 PM

Every smart business has a Facebook page.  It’s a free platform to introduce your brand and reach your target customers. The entire point of Facebook is to be seen by potential clients. This can become a challenge if your page is not public. If your page is not public then someone can only view what your business has to offer when they are logged in. It may seem like everyone has a Facebook account, but that is not an accurate assumption. If your client cannot view your page then an opportunity for potential loss for you and your business is created.

Tribute Media has had a Business Facebook page for a long time now. We take this platform seriously and we make sure to be active on it every day. It’s a way for us to have a relationship with our clients that is playful and professional. We are also able to get the word out about upcoming events on our page and share our work with our fans.
