Is Your Restaurant Profiting from the Searches Being Done on Mobile Marketing?

Did you know 90% of text message campaigns are opened within 90 seconds of receiving them?

Money loves speed. Restaurants and retail establishments everywhere are cashing in on mobile and text message marketing (aka SMS Marketing).

Check out these eye-popping stats from Black Friday / Mobile Monday 2011:

  • eBay Shoppers bought 2.5 times more items via eBay mobile this Black Friday than in 2010
  • Paypal mobile had a 516% increase in global mobile payment volume compared to last Cyber Monday
  • GSI commerce has a 254% increase in US Mobile Sales this Black Friday compared to last

Here’s a short list of companies that are promoting their brand and profiting from mobile marketing:

  • Papa John’s Pizza
  • Cold Stone Creamery
  • Dominoes
  • Olive Garden
  • Hard Rock Cafe
  • TGIFridays

Text-message marketing is cheaper than a weekly publication, or radio. However, you get the same reach as direct mail or telemarketing without making prospective customers feel like you’re intruding.

The companies mentioned above got a head-start by becoming early adopters of mobile and text-message marketing.

If you’re a restaurant owner, or almost any retail establishment looking to boost your repeat business from existing customers, this is your time if you pay attention and get on-board.

Mobile Marketing is NOT a Future Trend… IT’S NOW!

Yellowpages, newspapers, and other media choices are not producing the kind of return-on-investment they used to. It’s more important than ever to engage prospective customers where they hang-out. Several indicators point to mobile marketing and text messaging a primary way to reach buyers. Read More→

Identity Theft Protection

Are You Overlooking this Easy Target for Identity Theft Criminals?

Hello… nothing about boosting sales and revenue today. This is all about identity theft protection and more peace of mind… for less than going to the movies solo.

In the last two week, I was having a conversation with a prospective client… when the thought dawned on me.

I asked her the question, “Do you own your name (the domain)?”

She said “no”.

I recommended she buy it immediately because it’s an overlooked way she could protect her identity. Here’s what I explained to her.

As a marketing and web design professional, I know how to buy a domain, and create a website with a matching email address in 13-15 minutes!

Picture this. Read More→

Pastor Roy & Krystal Barrett, and Family

Pastor Roy & Krystal Barrett with Tyler and Ryan

Today’s post for National Business Women’s Week puts the spotlight on a subject that’s rarely talked about (in my experience). Having walked with the LORD Jesus Christ for more than 2 decades… and a couple of those years were given to vocational ministry. I know by experience, ministry can be some of the hardest… and most rewarding… work a person ever engages in.

Krystal Barrett wears many hats. She’s wife of Pastor Roy Barrett of Discover Life Church (DLC), located in Dunwoody, GA. They have 3 young children – Tyler, Ryan, and Reaghan. In the marketplace, she serves at the Member Services Coordinator at The Concourse Athletic Center, also in Dunwoody. The church was started 4 years ago, and Krystal serves as the “Business Manager”. One of her offline comments was, “People need to know that the business-side of ministry exists….”

This interview is gives you an inside look at leading and managing a church… and a fresh perspective of what ministry looks like from the inside out.
