To Twitter or not to Twitter that is the question, at least its a question I've been asked countless times this month. Everyone is Tweeting mad, so much so that I've decided to cover the subject over the next few newsletters, so that all of you out there that want to give it a try have the basic tools you need to get started. Does it help drive traffic to your website, if you use it properly then Yes! Other subjects covered this month:

• Our customer Corner

We want to give you some helpful hints and tips throughout the year that will help you grow your internet business and marketing efforts. If you would like us to cover any topic please let us know. Below are some of the suggestions for this month, we hope you enjoy!

 

Twitter - The basics to get you started

According to Wikipedia Twitter is a social media site that allows its users to send and read users updates (Tweets!) which are text based quotes up to 140 characters long

Well why bother? who cares what your friends neighbours dog is doing? well actually this is a great place to interact with users that are specialists in their field, they share great information (typically for free!) and its a place where you can become known as the expert in your field.

Do you think that being known as the expert in your field might just drive business to your company?

Want to get started with your twitter account?.... then read on

 

Its all in the layout

Our final thought on email newsletters is the layout, making it easy for users to read and digest your information and just pick out the parts that are important to them.

Also its important that they can easily contact you if you spark their interest in a particular subject.

Customer Corner

Verbatim call centres increase their share of website traffic

We often get asked by our clients 'please help me get on the front page of Google' as most have great websites that look good but are simply invisible to the prospects that are searching for them online. Verbatim Call Centres are one of these clients, we have been working closely together over the past few months with great success on improving their Google rankings.

Graham Hill, Founder and Joint Managing Director says "Karen is totally professional. She invests time in understanding the client’s business and dedicates herself to maximising online marketing opportunities. I would highly recommend any SME to speak to Karen Chapple of IRUN Newbury if they want to get the best out of their website."

Verbatim also take my overflow calls when I'm not in the office, so many of you will have spoken to their receptionists when I'm not about. I can thoroughly recommend their services - why not give your clients the Verbatim VIP treatment!

Remember, we're here to help and to make your Internet marketing as easy as possible.

I hope we speak soon.
