- 02/07/19 09:50 PM
Our team at iPartnerMedia recommends that businesses double down on building out and analyzing their Google My Business directory listing.
Here are a few tips for businesses to ensure they're doing:
1) Download and use the free Google My Business mobile app to monitor analytics such as click to call volume, driving directions, customer reviews and impression count.
For example, one of our clients noticed a pattern in their call volume being higher on Tuesdays which prompted them to have a little extra staffing that day to help with phones.

lead generation: My Marketing Career Do Over - 3 Lessons from Failing
- 12/28/16 09:59 PM
My "do over" story began in 2005 when I started an internet marketing company, National Web Leads, as a favor for some friends. But it quickly turned into something much bigger. College friends encouraged me to start the company and license the cutting edge software they were creating to generate sales leads for financial services firms.
National Web Leads created hundreds of websites that would invite users to submit applications for home mortgages, auto loans and cash advances, selling that information to financial services providers. The company also sold advertising on those websites.
Unfortunately, after 8 years and growing revenue to more than $1.5 … (4 comments)

Facebook Advertising is not the mysterious world you may imagine it to be.

- 08/06/16 01:04 AM
When you sit at your desk with your first (or second!) cup of coffee in the morning, the first tab you open is most likely your email. While you blink the last remnants of sleep from your eyes, stretch, and get ready for the day, you scroll through work, personal, and promotional emails.
You can capitalize on what’s essentially a universal morning routine with the marketing magic of an e-newsletter. It’s not the flashy, cheap promotional product-like pitch that you may associate it with. In fact, it’s a way to showcase your business culture, inform, educate, and entertain clients and prospects.

Recent changes to Facebook's algorithm in 2016 (the software code that decisions what posts you get to see in your newsfeed) are limiting the ability for a business to get their posts consumed organically by their audience.

But there is a solution.

Narratives are one of the most influential and persuasive approaches to marketing. It is all about selling yourself, your business or your product through a story. As years go by, marketing strategies change, yet the impact of this age-old method continues to work across industries large and small.
Why is that?

- 05/25/15 03:22 AM
Direct mail marketing gets a bad reputation from real estate professionals and other business services because they have a hard time quantifying the return on investment from the campaign.
Is this the fault of direct mail or is there a deeper problem at hand?

In baseball, the most successful hitters focus on singles and doubles but every player enjoys a home run.
Recently, our team hit a home run when we landed a website project for arguably the largest supplier of nuclear cabling products in the world. Instead of a baseball bat, our equipment was the free professional social media platform LinkedIn.

- 01/08/14 12:36 PM
Is your web site dusty?
I have researched hundreds of real estate domains. It is surprising to see how many web sites lack social media integration. In fact most sites look very dated and do not take advantage of the visual display advances that have been introduced in recent years.
A web site is like a car. You need a new one every 5-10 years. You need to put on new tires and change the filters and belts once in a while. Web sites no longer need to cost $10-$15k unless you ask for some serious functionality that requires a lot … (7 comments)
