Marketing Tips for 2016 - Kickstart Your Advertising Plans! - By Targeting Pro Marketing


Marketing Tips for 2016
Ramp Up Your Marketing!

Professional Marketing Assistance
Free Marketing Tips for 2016 from Targeting Pro Marketing

New Year’s resolutions are here!  It is time when organizations re-evaluate their performance, policies, and procedures.  Time to ramp up the business marketing efforts, because we all know more marketing equals more interest which equals more contacts which equal more sales which equals more profit.  Here are some tips to help put your company in the green for 2016:
  • Build A Website

    If you have not done so already, design and put in place a functional website that performs correctly for your business.  Be sure to have a website that conveys exactly what your organization does – be clear about your company objectives, the services you perform, the products you product, and how you can help your clients.  The base cost for a website is design, hosting, and domain parking.  Depending on the size website you would like, this is relatively cheap for the amount of buyers you can attract! If anything can be emphasized, do not wait on having a web design platform!

  • Optimize That Website

    The key is to be bigger and better than the competition, that does not mean that an organization should simply “exist” online.  That means a company should THRIVE online.  Boosting your organic traffic, creating functional landing pages to capture client interest, and putting out information that shows your organization as an industry-leading expert are keys to success in the upcoming year.  Optimizing your website is nearly as important as creating the website pages to begin with, this is how search engines READ your information.  If you offer unique, interesting, compelling, and informative write-ups for your readers, you will earn brand awareness, organic traffic, and high-quality sales leads. A beautiful website attracts humans, search engine optimization appeals to how search engines read your website information -- and they are hungry, be sure to feed them!

  • Kickstart Your Blog

    The next best thing to creating content on your website is the amazing information machine of offering an informative blog to your clients.  It does not matter if you are eCommerce, in the service industry, or a combination of both.  A blog can inform your clients’ of your expertise (showing you are an expert in your field), let them know of changing events in your industry (news-worthy), and can highlight any special offers you want to convey to client’s (especially those that are time-sensitive). What's that, you don't have the time to dedicate to writing blog content two to three times per week? You can always hire a blog shadow-writer to write unique custom content to keep your readers coming back fro more!

  • Market Exponentially With Social Media

    Don’t stop at an awesome website and compelling blog – launch that information powerhouse into the internet mainstream with social media marketing.  Putting your permanent links and information out there via social media is like creating your own “web of influence” to the internet world.  You are not only building this information to your immediate fan base, but you are setting up a perma-link network of links that lead search engines back to your blog and back to your website.  These links will generate traffic for years to come!

  • Compelling Custom Graphic Design

    Do not settle for anything less.  Custom graphics on your website offer a polished brand-look that shows you as the cut, clean industry professional that you are.  Extend those incredible graphics to your blog, and to your social media outlets.  Branded images bring up brand awareness, and allows you to capitalize on your marketing efforts with properly marketed and copyrighted images that no other company can rightfully “steal” from you.  Putting amazingly lively graphics on your blog, social media outlets, and website will bring attention to your brand and client perception will increase dramatically.

  • Email Marketing

    Keep in contact with your clients over the long haul.  Implement a sales marketing campaign but also an informative news-oriented campaign.  The sales marketing will assist in selling the goods and services you provide to contacts, and an informative newsletter will teach your clients about those goods and services and how/why you are an industry leader. If you are unsure as how to proceed with setting up a properly running email marketing compaign, you can always hire a marketing professional to perform those services for you.

Are You Utilizing Your Website To Its Full Potential?

Your most powerful asset to your marketing strategy should be your website. It is your way to literally touch the world using the internet to a very wide client base. It is your face to your clients, your community and your associates. There are a few questions you have to ask yourself in your assessment of where you want to be with your brand and image:

Are you putting in the time and effort into not only making it the best website in the business but also keeping it that way?

Do you have skills it takes to create a comprehensive and attractive website?

Do you have the time to create unique content that your clients and associates will find valuable?

Do you have the time to stay in touch with your clients using social media outlets?



A lot of people find it hard to answer yes to all of these questions. The next very important step is to say “Okay - now what do I do about it?”

I have come across many people who badly want to bring their websites up to speed but have no idea to go about doing it. I like to think of a website as a home. There is a base cost to even have one (as in domain & hosting fees), there are maintenance fees (perhaps you pay for a website to host on your page from an outside source), you have to keep it clean & current every single day, there are fees for updating & upgrading & renovating, etc…

Now every homeowner will know, that if you do not have the ability to perform all of these tasks yourself, they hire a professional to take care of their investment. If you do not have time to clean, you hire a trusted housekeeper, if you have a broken pipe you hire a plumber, if your roof is leaking you hire a roofer, if you need a remodel or overhaul you hire a contractor. Specialists were created because we all cannot be perfect in all things - if websites & search engine optimization are not your strong points, if writing unique content has you with writer’s block and if social media is intimidating & confusing, it is perfectly logical to hire someone to assist you in these technical matters.

You specialize in what you do for a reason - to provide exceptional service to your clients. As your internet marketing specialist, I also offer to give you the same exceptional service for your website. You don’t have to be a writing expert or a social media whiz to provide valuable information to the world - you can keep on being your own professional and having your website support taken care of with confidence.



If you would like a website strategy plan particularly tailored to your business, needs, area & area of expertise, feel free to get in touch!

Why Do I Need A Virtual Assistant?

Every business has room for growth, no matter what the budget or economy holds. If you are not adapting to the changing market you will find yourself trying to survive in a world that no longer exists. All businesses benefit from intelligent and well-planned growth. Whether you need assistance for 1 hour, 1 week or several months – a Virtual Assistant is your on-hire help with no long-term obligation. Search Engine Optimization is another aspect every business website cannot be without. What does Search Engine Optimization (SEO) mean? It means that your website is geared up for the best possible search engine rankings with relevant content to help boost your placement. The more potential clients that see you, the more sales you will make.



If web design, graphic creation, html coding, linking, social media, Twitter, Facebook and blogging have your head spinning – allow a Virtual Assistant to help take the technical burden off of you so that you can get back to what you do best: Running your business. On-going web maintenance can sometimes be a hassle for individuals who are not familiar with the latest technology or have the bigger fish to fry on a daily basis. Signing on a Virtual Assistant to help maintain your website, content, SEO and even shadow writing for your blog can be priceless additions to your web presence. Effective website create online presence – make your reputation online as good as it is in the field!

5 Simple Tasks To Boost Your Business in 2010

Gearing up for 2010 can be the best and also the scariest thing you can do - don't know where to begin? These five simple tips will help you on your way to kick-start your business!


1. Check Your Email Regularly – Your clients know we are living in a virtual world and responding to emails promptly has been as important as returning a phone call. If you do not have a mobile email service with your current phone company, check your emails often and respond to potential clients even if you have to research the information and get back to them later once you know the answer. Business does not wait!

2. Answer Your Phone With A Smile – Sounds simple, right? An old trick that works well to get you started is to hang a small mirror facing you where you receive most of your phone calls. Before you answer the phone – smile – the caller will hear it in your voice. Before you know it you will be trained to answer the phone like this all the time – a positive attitude can be priceless!

3. Focus On Accomplishing Tasks – Another simple one? It is so easy in today’s day and age to get distracted. Plain and simple – distractions take us away from our focus. Whether your task is to return all of your calls before 9am, to complete a load of laundry or to publish your blog post – remember this: You are only human and can only complete one task at a time. Even if you are a multitasker you will know that jumping from one subject to another causes you to break your concentration on what you are doing. Stay focused and complete one task (no matter how minor) before moving on to the next.

4. Set Goals – No matter how you want to do it, whether you want to write out a business plan for the year, post a white board, create a checklist or plug asks into your mobile calendar, set yourself up with reasonable goals. Achieving goals not only accomplishes work but it motivates us to take it to the next step. Break it down to small items that accomplish a large goal. Do you want more internet presence? Well then are you putting unique content on your website? Are you using search engine optimization strategies? Do you have a call to action on each page? Don’t overwhelm yourself with long-term goals, just break them down into more manageable ones and you will see your progress.

5. Social Media – You’ve heard it all over the web and you’ve watched it on the news – Social Media is the next big thing. NO it is not. IT IS THE BIGGEST THING. We are all becoming “plugged in” to the internet. We are finding our niches, our outlets, our interests, our coworkers and even our friends and family with the help of social media. Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn help you stay connected to the things you value most. Don’t miss out, be out of the loop or find yourself sitting on the sidelines – Take the plunge and dive right in!

Let's face it - every business could use a booster shot. If you are finding yourself running short on time or it is taking you away from your clients, think about the possibilities of hiring a Virtual Assistant (or VA) to help with your tasks. Hire for as long as you like - no long term commitments!

What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant is a highly trained individual in various areas of expertise to help support your business in lieu of a full or part time employee. These business services are typically done via the internet, phone or fax to meet a client’s specific needs.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) is much more cost effective in today’s economy considering wages, benefits, unemployment and the ability to keep an employee hired for the originally agreed upon hours once a project has been completed. You hire a VA for as long as you need them – with no worry of over-extending yourself or possibly having to lay off employees in the future.

A Virtual Assistant will typically have an appointment with you or supply you with a questionnaire to help solidify the type of work that you need. Once the needs of the client are established the client is given a rate of pay for the services they are requiring. If the pricing is acceptable a Virtual Assistant can then be hired on a contractual basis depending on the needs of the client.

If you would like to start the process of hiring a Virtual Assistant - I would be more than happy to figure out a plan that works for you!

Thank Your Artist

I had an interesting revelation this week, so I thought I would do a write-up about it. Upon my vast amount of time on the internet, I stumbled upon a very interesting quote (some of you may have seen me quote it on my other social media sites).


The quote is as follows:


"An artist chooses his subjects: that is the way he praises,"


~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~


At first it struck me just as an appealing (and true) phrase. I mean…who would bother creating a piece of art for someone if they didn’t care about them or the subject manner?


Then I started to delve deeper into it.


I began thinking about all the previous artworks I had done. I began to think about all the subjects I included in them from my life.


This quote never began to ring so true. When you are included in on someone’s artistic works – may it be a drawing, painting, sculpture, poem, song or even a mix tape – it is because you inspired that person. Your influence in their life was so great that they found an artistic outlet to commemorate you.


I have never done a piece on someone that did not illicit some sort of strong emotion to me. Let’s face it – why would anyone create works they were not passionate about? Money can sometimes be a great motivator for someone to create custom art (don’t get me wrong) – but it is the soulful art that comes from deep within.


Looking back in my memory banks (and dusting off a few old files) I recalled one of the first things I did for my (now) husband back when we were friends – I wrote him a sonnet. Although the poem itself is unfortunately lost to time, I can still recall the subject – of building a mansion up in Heaven and how each room was not build with brick and mortar but with love and dreams. How each room was a memory added on over time. That was nearly 11 years ago.


When I received my very first digital pen – my very first subject was my youngest daughter. I sketched out a replication of a photo of her on her birthday and recolored it.



As a Christmas gift for my family I am designing a “Family Calendar” that has seasonal themes incorporated with pictures of each individual for their birthday month and accomplishes they have made in life.


One of the first drawings I ever did in school was one of my mother (which amazingly she still has) of her and I in front of our house (you know – triangle dresses and all!).


I also love fantasy creatures and often include them in my works. There is something about letting your imagination run in wild abandon that makes art more like fun and less like work. Again, to create that in which you love is a very pure form of praise.


May artists paint nature because of all the beautiful things the natural world brings to us - the joy and astonished wonderment that captivates our thoughts and expresses itself out through our pens and brushes (and mouse clicks).


Not a deeply informative post I know, more of a public service announcement. I remember when I was young when I sometimes didn’t have the ability to “purchase” a gift for a friend or family member I would “make” them something. I think a lot of folks may think that is cheaping out – a good way to get out of getting a worthy present or something of that nature. You’d get the raised eyebrow and a head nod with “that’s nice” but not a thank-you or a hug for hours of work you put into something. A piece of art is an extension of the soul – not something you can purchase in a department store window. It is not something anyone else has or ever will have – it is a unique and priceless gift unto itself. (I don’t know if macaroni pictures count for this…)


If anyone ever creates art of you or about – it is one of the deepest compliments one can give, be sure to thank them, as more than likely it came directly from the heart!
