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.

They also expect your email address that uses your own domain. [Read more…]

MakeItBetterMonday_2015-10-26So, are they a leader or a follower?

Unless you already have a well-established brand, it is likely that you will be following more social media accounts than those that follow you. You may have noticed that some Twitter users play the numbers game and follow a large number of accounts in order to gain a few followers and increase profile views.

Make It Better Monday: Your Website

March 28, 2016 by Engine Communication

MakeItBetterMonday_2015-10-12So, who am I dealing with here?

You have listed where you are located and how you can be reached, but don’t stop there. Visitors are coming to your website for more information.  While your company may be too large to list the name of every employee or department, it is a good idea to provide the names of key contacts as well as your organization’s executives.

In an effort to attract high-quality talent, you may have invested in an employer branding campaign, but have you remembered to mention the name of the person on the receiving end of your application process? Even something as simple as including the name of your human resources manager adds a touch of personality that could win over a potential job candidate. [Read more…]

Make It Better Monday: Your Print Advertising

MakeItBetterMonday_2016-02-08So, how much more info could they squeeze into this ad?

It’s safe to say that we all want to get the best return on investment from our advertising. Your first inclination may be to include as much information as you can fit in your ad space. Before planning your ad design, however, it’s best to define the goal of the advertisement and include only information that is relevant to the audience of the publication.

Your advertisement should make it clear what you would like your audience to do. Should they call you? Try your new product? Visit your store? From there, you can decide what information is would encourage your audience to respond to your call to action. [Read more…]

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 Website

January 4, 2016 by Engine Communication

MakeItBetterMonday_2015-10-12So, how old is this info?

You may have just re-launched your website with all new content yesterday, but how do we know that what we are looking at is brand new?

If you have a copyright date on your website that is updated manually, you may find yourself having to update the copyright date on each and every page of your site.

Websites with a content management system (CMS) may automatically update the date on the copyright at the footer of the page. However, since updating the copyright on your website can be done automatically, visitors still have no indication that the content they are viewing is brand new.

What are ways that you can show that your content is up to date?

  • Regularly update your blog with dated entries.
  • Include the date on any news items.
  • Add dated press releases and clippings.

So, what are ways that your web visitors can find out when your content was last updated? How often do you update your website or blog?
