			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The growth of social media has changed the way <strong>small businesses</strong> communicate with their customers. Instead of waiting for your customers to come back and see you again, you can tweet them or shoot them an email or post something new on your facebook. </p>
<p>The different social media outlets provide an unlimited resource for finding <strong>new customers</strong> and keeping in touch with your old ones. And the best part is, it is way cheaper than traditional marketing. Heck you can do most of it yourself.</p>
<p>Better yet, you can hire someone who knows what they are doing and set it up so that most of your communication is <strong>automated</strong>.</p>
<p>Just picture this. You have a new promotion you want to get out to people in your <strong>local area</strong>, but how? If you have been diligent in creating a database of your clients it is as easy as typing up a short description of the service or product you want everyone to know about. Then the automation takes over, you post it to your blog, it is automatically sent as an email to your database of clients and a tweet is automatically sent out to all your followers.</p>
<p>If this sounds a little more involved than you care to get into, it really isn&#8217;t, and that is what I am here for. I&#8217;ll get the <strong>whole system setup for you</strong> and manage it on a monthly basis. And I can do it all for way less than you pay for that silly yellow pages ad that no one sees.</p>
<p>Just fill in the form here to set up your free consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the simplest marketing strategies that almost all local businesses overlook is automated online email marketing. An <strong>automated email marketing system</strong> allows you, the small local business owner, to stay in contact with your existing clients.</p>
<p>Your <strong>existing client base</strong> is your greatest asset. If you aren&#8217;t already, you should be gathering contact information from each client you see. This is as simple as asking them for their name, email address and/or phone number.</p>
<p>Once you have their email address you will <strong>stay in contact</strong> with your clients with an automated system. Your system will send out an email about your business once or twice a month. It will remind your clients of the service you provide and maybe a special discount you are offering, or anything you want to tell them.</p>
<p>The idea is to stay in front of your clients mind, so when they are ready to buy again, you are the first business they think of.</p>
<p>Most businesses will increase their bottom line by <strong>10-50% or more</strong>, with this simple strategy. Make sure your client thinks of your business when they are ready to buy.</p>
