Go Mobile! Build Your Business

May 21st, 2013

Thumbler_mobile_OLMobile websites are sites designed specifically to be accessed on mobile devices, like smart phones and tablets. If you have a website, chances are that many people are viewing your site right now on their mobile phone. The good news is, you have a website. The bad news is that traditional websites, even with some smart adaptation, are just not made to fully utilize smart phone features, like click to touch, calling, navigation and email or text features.

 If you’ve had the awkward experience of trying to navigate a clumsy, big site on your smart phone, then you’re halfway to understanding the importance of delivering quick, easy to access information. And this is where the third factor comes in as a reason for getting a mobile site—at least some of your competitors have mobile sites, delivering a better customer experience and making it easy for customers to find, call and purchase what they seek.

Improving your business with a CRM System

May 17th, 2013

crm systemCustomer Relationship Management, or CRM for short, is the implementation of software and processes that are designed to assist companies with managing customer purchasing behaviors and trends in order to improve sales targeting and marketing strategies, among other things.

It is easy to confuse Customer Relationship Management with Customer service.  Customer service deals specifically with the interaction of a company’s employees with clients, customers or the public in general.  You know how important customer service is if you’ve ever had bad service, especially if that service was so bad that you never patronized the company ever again.  But that is not CRM.  CRM is the process of using sales statistics and analysis to improve the way that your company interfaces with your customers in order to improve business.

The Blackberry R10—The Leaks Just Keep Flowing

May 15th, 2013

bb-r10Blackberry has been rumoured for some time now to be designing a budget-friendly model to add to its line of popular smartphones which have many loyal followers.  The recently leaked Blackberry R10, which has been seen in both white and a bright, almost hot, red according to those who have been lucky enough to spot this device in its earliest forms, seems to be the model that has been hinted at for some time now.

While these are rumoured changes and some speculation is involved there have been a number of reports that suggest one will lose very little in choosing the more budget friendly Blackberry model when it finally hits the market in the later part of 2013.  The phone will continue to be the same size and will have the built in QWERTY keyboard that Blackberry users find so appealing.

There does seem to be some drawbacks for those who are media-driven as the camera will likely be scaled back to a 5MP version.  Of course, the screen size will remain the same.  With the standard Blackberry smaller screen and the scaled back camera some users may find this a disappointing model.
