CashKlick introduces New Facebook APPS to Drive business and revenue for local merchants

Facebook has been updating their practices quite a bit this year, and if you have not had the time to keep up with the changes you may not be aware that your business page is a little more difficult to find by your customers.

In this post I will not go into details on all the changes, just make note that getting your business page recognized and shared is now more about promotion and ad spending then just creating content.

So how does a small business owner create revenue and traffic using Facebook moving forward. Content is still a great lead source but if you can't create buzz on each piece of content you will eventually see that Facebook will devalue your voice and fewer and fewer readers will actually see your content. I would recommend creating your content on a Blog and feeding it to your Facebook page instead of  creating it directly for Facebook.

However Facebook APPS are now more valuable and hold a primary space for business use on the new Facebook page layout.  Small businesses can invest inexpensive app solutions that allow them to become e-commerce friendly through the Facebook experience. Through a Facebook apps readers can enter contests, shop for merchandise, read listings fro real-estate, read menus and coupons pages for restaurants etc...
Facebook APPs are not new and the best Facebook Marketers for years have used services such as shortstack, mindfire, appapeal and more. Recently I had the opportunity to work with a new company out of Florida, CashKlick 
They  have a great new design and format for hosting Real-Estate listings, Newspaper classifieds, Restaurant menus, Grocery Store Circulars and more. 
Click here for a demo of a Restaurant site: https://www.facebook.com/cashklickeatery on Facebook click the Menu Tab to see how it looks live to the reader. Here is a Real estate Sample: https://www.facebook.com/wilmingtonrealestate .

What I like about CashKlick is that they do all the work for you. I have come to realize that most business don't use APPS because they don't have the time to build the app and manage it.

For a local Business owner a Facebook app can be a driving revenue source that has limited investment and high returns. If you have invested in building a Facebook audience or interested in getting started, using a service like CashKlick can streamline the effort, make you look very professional and provide you with new revenue streams.

Interested in learning more about how your business can use APPS to create audience and revenue, give me a call and I will help you sort through the advantages for your individual business.

February Business Review

2/16/2011

  Two weeks into the month, and positive signs are being displayed all around the Carson City region. A Sunday visit to Maurice's in Carson City to pick up that last minute Valentines gift, found a store full of customers. Speaking with the clerk she told me that February had been exceptional and that the store had been busy since mid-January. The valentines promotion worked so well that they ran out of their free necklace give-a-way.
Snow is falling all over the valley today and yet at the Douglas County Chamber meeting the room was filled with local business owners. Many stories being passed of better than expected business and signs of growth. Could it be even with 15% unemployment in Douglas County that people are just ready to stop pouting and want to spend?

I want to highlight a business in Carson City this week.  Monarch Direct - Mike Riggs owner - I have know Mike for about three years now, and can tell you first hand about the quality of his business and quality of his service in our community. Mike runs a very successful print and direct mail shop in Carson City. This week I had a chance to see Mike doing business is various locations. BNI in Reno, BNI in Carson City, Postal Seminar at the BRIC, Printing my brochures..etc..  The thing that stood out to me is that Mike is a master of service of others. He truly enjoys serving others in his business. Even if they do not offer him a business opportunity he is all about helping them be successful.
He does business with a smile on his face and a can do attitude all day long.
His business delivers quality printing services for local business and his expertise in the direct mail arena for local business is valuable asset to many.  Great work Mike!
