My Waffle Wedded Wife or Do You Want To Laugh Til Your Cry?

Is this the ideal result of a Marriage Planning event you would want seen on YouTube?

• Can Melissa stop laughing at her own wedding ceremony?
  Can Andrew spit out the words of their wedding vows?
  Will Melissa become be his lawfully wedded wife?
  Or his too scared to go through with it?
  Is the officiant surprised by all of this?
  Does the tension mount as the melodrama plays out?

I guess you will have to just watch and see….take a step away from business and enjoy a few relaxing moments.

Building a Web Business with Web 2.0 Marketing, Part 1

Michael (my Webmaster and E-Marketer) wrote this article on his Blog…we generally do not mix our areas of expertise, but I thought any of you who might be interested in Web based businesses might enjoy reading it. He has other insights available.

Web2.0 is social networking. And social networking can be, and is being, used for business, point blank. You can use Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, TBD, etc., to only socialize. You can share events, play games, meet old and new friends, post photos, etc., and waste a lot of time. You can post videos on YouTube for humor, shock, information, etc.

Or you can use these, and other Web2.0 avenues, to get people to visit your Website. And most of these avenues are FREE advertising and demand only sweat equity. Some are better than others. The point is if you want to generate sales through social networking, you can. If you get more people to visit, more people will purchase. Increase traffic, increase sales. Point blank, end of story.

The old rule of thumb in retailing was you either have traffic or you build traffic. In either case you pay for it. One option was to rent in a mall or street location where there was a lot of traffic, and a lot of rent. Or to start in a low traffic (i.e. home based, garage, industrial park, etc.) and spend money on advertising for traffic.

That day is passé.

Some of you spent a lot of time, money, and energy at last week’s Party Planning Showcase in a Northwest Chicago Suburb. Judy and I strolled the show talking with our friends. We asked ourselves “why continue?” five years ago and could not find a reason to. We found the reason.

Glance at the Web statistics I provided you free, or request another or a new one. It compares your recent Website activities and search engine rankings with those of A-BnC Parties and More, Inc. Visitor hits on Judy’s sites, including www.abncparties.com have DOUBLED on a daily basis from December, 2008 to January, 2009. Sales have also increased over last year’s comparisons. I will not divulge by how much.

The invitation is there, join the Facebook discussion. The information is Free. Or should I charge for it? Will it be more valuable? Judy’s new V-P and national sales manager asked: “Why is it so cheap?”
