Web Design Tutorials

May 4, 2013 By Leave a Comment

We have just added a new series of web design tutorials to our website here at Studio 1 Web Design. For many years we have been accumulating a (thick) file of web design work flows. A “work flow” is simply a series of steps to accomplish a particular task. They deal with the day to day work of making websites.

We have been writing them down on legal pad paper and stuffing them into this manila folder and storing them in a file drawer for quite some time, now. We have found that we are constantly referring to them like a recipe book so we thought that it was about time to share them. ... Read More

Integrating Social Media With Email Into Direct Marketing Campaigns

February 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Recent studies conducted by marketing firms point out that businesses who use email marketing in combination with more traditional marketing methods (direct mail, print media, magazine advertising, etc.) have an increased probability of increased revenues. Such is the case with a recent study conducted by Vistaprint (http://tinyurl.com/yk5zc76). Email marketing is simple, cheap and very effective. Results can be improved upon if social media is integrated into email marketing.

For example, a small business operating in a storefront location may have a loyal customer base who would like to be notified when the store has a sale. The existing customers should be the first to hear about any sales or specials because they will be the ones most likely to buy. The store can simply have customers sign up for their email mailing list at their cash register or point of sale. The store can email the customers to the mailing list for little or no cost.

Direct Mail Discussions Begin Between US & Cuba

September 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

This can be big news for suppliers of mailing lists and for businesses that buy mailing lists. Restoring direct mail service between U.S. and Cuba has been an issue that has thwarted previous presidents, including George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Previous attempts had been stalled by the Cuban government. Experts say that it would not only be a big step for families that have been divided but also would be a politically critical move. The decision to have the direct mail talks comes just after migration talks in New York in July.

Media Spending for Sports Teams Felt by GM and Chrysler Bankruptcies

June 8, 2009 By Leave a Comment

In a recent post at the LA Times website, author Alana Semuels states that TV stations, newspapers and magazines will feel the latest blow from the GM and Chrysler bankruptcies. In the article, the author also points out:

“Sports franchises also could feel the sting, with analysts expecting the automaker to continue cutting back its multimillion-dollar sponsorships of professional teams.”

Not only will the media outlets feel the crunch, the sports franchises themselves will also bring in less income.

At least one Major League Baseball team is sponsored by General Motors, as stated by Jim Andrews, senior vice president of IEG Inc., a research and consulting firm. GM spends about $5 to $10 million per year on Major League Baseball and about $1 million per year to sponsor teams in the National Basketball Assn., National Football League and National Hockey League.

Search Engine Marketing

April 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Majors search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN all have different algorithm formulas, therfore what one does in one search engine may not necessarily translate to the others.  Most businesses  seem to care more about Google  since they get the majority of the searches. Each search engine takes into account the Meta Title,  Meta Description and the content that is visible (not images)  on the site. The meta keywords are not as important as they used to be, but some search engines still take them into account.

You want to tell the search engines that your website is an authority on a particular topic.  The home page should establish your theme, however all important pages on the site should be individually optimized according to the content on the page.

There is so much to learn about search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing,  that you can’t learn it all in one session.  We will try to bring you Internet marketing tips as they develop.
