Make It Better Monday: Your Business Email

April 18, 2016 by Engine Communication

MakeItBetterMonday_2015-10-12So, why does their email end in something other than their domain name?

A domain name is the part of your web address that comes between the “www” and the dot com. It is what people use to reach your website. If you are a business owner, you have likely realized that customers now expect you to have a website or at least a presence on the web, such as a Facebook page for your business. They also expect your email address that uses your own domain. [Read more…]

Make It Better Monday: Your Staff Portraits

March 7, 2016 by Engine Communication

MakeItBetterMonday_2015-11-30So, what do they look like now?

Your professional portrait should be a reflection of who you are today. If your out-of-date photo is particularly flattering, you may be tempted to continue using it. The reasons to keep your portrait up-to-date, however, are compelling.

An authentic photo of yourself provides an emotional connection and builds your personal “brand”. Using an older, outdated photo that no longer looks like you causes you to miss the opportunity of building recognition for your personal brand and may even negatively impact your trustworthiness due to the older photo being perceived as an inaccurate representation of yourself.

Make It Better Monday: Your CEO Video Message

January 25, 2016 by Engine Communication

beastskills.com MakeItBetterMonday_2015-10-19So, who wrote the cue cards?

A well-crafted CEO video message can strengthen your employer brand and communicate your corporate culture in an authentic and powerful way. In addition to a well-chosen concept and message, it is essential to also set positive non-verbal signals.

The setting you choose for your message will influence its tone. Are you filming against a pure white background? Among workers in your factory? In front of or behind your desk? Each of these locations contribute differently to your overall message.

Make It Better Monday: Your Social Media Content

January 11, 2016 by Engine Communication

MakeItBetterMonday_2015-10-26So, is all of this just re-posted content?

It can be beneficial to your SEO as well as your audience to re-post, re-tweet or link to content away from your own social media page. However, be sure to create a balance between re-posted and original content. By posting original content directly to your own page, you will strengthen your voice as a brand instead of diluting your brand as a habitual re-poster.

Evaluate your social media content from the perspective of your target audience. Post things related to your organization that would most interest your audience. Have any of your employees earned further qualifications, won an award or received a promotion? Do you have any new staff members? Are there any upcoming events that may be of interest to your audience? Do you have any tips or advice to share? [Read more…]

Make It Better Monday: Testimonial Videos

November 2, 2015 by Engine Communication

So, are these actual customers?

It’s great if you can produce a testimonial video that has high production value. It’s even better if the testimonial can create a personal connection with your audience. The most important factor for determining the success of a testimonial video, however, is authenticity.

Does your video testimonial look like it was staged? Scripted? Heavily edited? Discrete staging, scripting and editing can all enhance the authenticity of your video testimonials. The key here is to avoid creative decisions that draw attention to the production of the video itself.
