One of the new services Imacomm is now offering is blog development. Blogs, or online journals, are a way for internet users to express themselves creatively or to document their experiences. About one in ten internet users contribute to a blog; one in three internet users read blogs. Here’s a little bit of what a blog project at Imacomm looks like.
• Affordable Pricing – Creative setup starting at $500!
• Consistent Branding – We’ll design the blog to perfectly compliment any other marketing you already have established, be it website or print materials.
• Professional Quality – Don’t settle for that “DIY” look – we’ll make sure every area of your blog is polished and professional, from design to development.
• Training – We’ll teach you how to maintain and grow your site all on your own.
1. Interactive Communication:
Today’s online users are creating virtual communities where they spend their time gathering information, connecting with friends and purchasing products and/or services. Believe us in the fact that you’ll need more than an online “brochure” to engage them. Blogs are a great way to allow people to interact with you and your company, giving them a sense of loyalty and camaraderie. They will make employees stay on top of their expertise and keep the business owners sharp on their company’s happenings, brand message and philosophy. NOW PAY ATTENTION…THIS IS HUGE…IT COULD BE SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW! Do you want an image gallery on your site? If so, you could automatically post images from Facebook or Flickr to your blog. Do you have a twitter account? If so, you could post your status on your site automatically. And you can use RSS feeds to allow people to subscribe to your site like a virtual newsletter.
2. Economical Marketing:
Smart decisions are made because of smart marketing practices. Who isn’t looking for more affordable ways to market their business, but face it, you can’t stop marketing your business just because times are hard. And you don’t have to stress about not being able to afford a web marketing firm to maintain your relevance online. Blogs come with a load of marketing benefits, which include a user-friendly content management program for you to manage and grow your blog, search engine optimization tools for you to improve your rankings, social bookmarking for endorsing your blog posts and RSS Feeds for users to subscribe to your blog and be notified anytime you post. Also blogs posts are treated like a news press release, which means you are making true Public Relations efforts in building credibility!
3. Revenue Stream:
Make some money with your blog by adding a revenue stream such as Internet Advertisements. Having an advertisement system can provide additional revenue from other affiliates/vendors or from your own products and/or services to purchase. If you are promoting your own products and/or services on your blog to link to your website it is important to know that management and growth is vital in your continued marketing efforts. Imacomm can create your initial advertisements by providing the designs with templates. Using the proper tools required, you can then manage them all yourself to grow and expand your revenue stream.
4. Expandable Content Management System:
Blogs are naturally a great content management tool. You can add posts, links and even additional pages all on your own. Why pay to have your blog updated when you can do it yourself? What’s even better is that if you want your blog to be your website, this is an affordable way to start a website. It is highly recommended that if you are a start-up company, creating a blog site is best when working on an official company website. You have ability to create drafts, preview your work before you publish/post, control your search engine optimization, create categories, insert media such as images and/or video…you can do whatever you want.
5. Unlimited Creativity:
Most people don’t realize that blogs have unlimited possibilities in their creativity. Because Imacomm is a creative agency focused on branding, websites and web marketing, we value great design. And a great design consistent with your brand promotes a great product for you to market your business. You’d be surprised to know some of your favorite sites are most likely blogs or the website has the blog feeding into their pages…like ours! We can customize a blog design that fits your needs and communicates your business efficiently and cost-effectively. Here’s an example…
