Social Networking!

Greetings!

Happy August to all of our valued clients!

This message is going out to all clients that have purchased Web Site Maintenance and eMail Marketing Campaigns.

Please send eMail Marketing and Web Site Updates or let us know if you are needing eClub sign up forms or return envelopes via email.

When you “google” your business name and the city you are located in, you should be right there on the front page. If you are not you may need some help with your web site.

This can also be said, if when you look for yourself, you are no where to be found. I recently went to a Social Networking Seminar given by Frank Kenny at The Kelso Red Lion. Mr. Kenny said, “If you can’t be found on Google some people may view you as not community oriented.”

Oscar says if you don’t exist online than you virtually don’t exist!

The community around you needs to feel they can reach you. You want people to feel a connection with you so they are comfortable trusting you with their needs and expectations from your business.

As I wrote those lines, I was googling myself. I am happy to report, that although my name sounds similar to a favored season of many and Clemson University, Summer Clemenson was the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th link on the first page, I also found a blog entry I wrote on page 2; pretty cool, since I have a distant cousin with the same name and all those links were for me.

Why is this important?

Much like high school, the internet is a popularity contest based on how often you show up and how many people are paying attention to you. If you click on any of those links for Summer D Clemenson on Facebook.com, Summer Clemenson on LinkedIn.com, Summer Clemenson on ValleyBugler.com and Summer Clemenson on Myspace.com you will quickly see that I represent my community and most importantly omOriginals Marketing! Funny thing is, it all started by me playing casually online and became more purposeful as I started to see what was happening.

…When I googled my spiky-haired boss, Oscar Myre IV…he was in all the links on the first 2 pages and also found on all the pages following…until I got bored on page 6…he has been doing this longer than me…

Why is this important?

You may not remember the name omOriginals Marketing! but you might remember meeting Summer Clemenson at Downtown Live, the Friday before last, or that guy named Oscar Myre IV with the mohawk, at the last Kelso-Longview Chamber event. You might have googled yourself and found that your business is not where you were expecting it to be found; you may think we might be able to help you with some Search Engine Optimization or a Facebook Page for Your Business or maybe you have been blacklisted because you have sent too many eMails to your clients from your personal eMail account and you need another way to reach your clients quickly and think that an eMail Marketing campaign would help you do that.

Did you know that we regularly give Facebook and LinkedIn for Business Classes and Free Initial Consultations for Online and Print Marketing Campaigns? I know that many of you are not located close enough to be able to make it to a class or face-to-face meeting, but omOriginals has been known to make accommodations for our geographically challenged clients; like phone consultations, eMail and answers to inquiries on Facebook.

Why is that important?

Because we are here to help and we want you to remember that.

Have a Refreshingly Different Day!
