Advertising: Do It Better/ Use Multiple Tools ...

When it comes to the advertising and marketing of your business, times are changing. The days of expensive cable, magazine and newspaper ads being the only game in town are over. They seldom worked anyway, but you didn't have many choices. The creation of the internet has leveled the playing field; and the emergence of networking is giving Long Island business better alternatives. Every company is different; however the idea of placing an ad and waiting for people to come to it doesn't work very well. You need to take a more offensive approach. As always, it starts with your relentless efforts. Mix your hard work, determination and quality service/product with e-mail marketing campaigns, blogging, FREE Classifieds, greeting cards, networking events and other efficient, affordable tools. With view exceptions, you will have better results! Plus, you will cut your advertising and marketing budget significantly! Yes, when it comes to the advertising and marketing, times are changing ... for the better!!!

Hello Long Island/ New .LI's ...

It's really for the country of Lichtenstein, but the search engines treat it like Long Island. Because it's in its infancy, excellent (easy to remember) domain names are available. More and more Long Island business owners are signing on for .LI 

Arthur Katz's Knockout Pest Control, recently launched Termites.li. Robert LoFranco's Maid Brigade of Suffolk launched Maids.li. Both are experienced Long Island business professionals and are proud to represent their services. 516Ads.com & 631Ads.com looks to bring you smart, affordable tools to better promote your business/ services. High search rankings, excellent branding capability @ a fraction of the cost ... on the web, nothing says Long Island, like .LI!

Gluten Free Health Tip ... 

People who are on a Gluten Free diet can be dangerously deficient in key nutrients? Fiber, Iron and Vitamin B are among the more well known of the missing nutrients. Gluten Free foods lack the recommended daily allowance of these nutrients. In combination with malabsorption the need for supplements is crucial. If you have questions about Gluten Free Supplements, please contact Barbara Formica Wellness Creators - wellnesscreators.com 516-991-7460. You'll be glad you did!

The Real Pulse of Long Island/ LI Networking

The NY Post has a Pulse section, Long Island has Pulse magazine, but if like the experts say, small business is the backbone of the economy/a community; than the real PULSE of Long Island is the Long Island Networking world. Business owners come together, looking to create business relationships. Networking & networkers are ahead of the curve when it comes to small business concerns like fighting the MTA tax. They're ahead of the curve when it comes to the PULSE of the economy. You'll read it months down the line in statistical reports & magazines, but you'llfeel it in the LI Networking world. On top of all that, events are often used to help raise supplies and awareness for local charities. Networking events are going on all over the place @ venues across Long Island. A lot of heart, a great beat, the Long Island networking world got it going on!!!
