What Squirrels and Marketing Have In Common

/
I’ve been having a lot of fun lately watching the squirrels in our yard scurry to and fro. They run up a tree, down a tree, along the fence, down the fence, leap from one branch to another, then back to the fence, then back to the tree. Then they chase a buddy squirrel around the tree, along the fence and back up the tree. Then they stop for 15 seconds to catch their breath (I’d be wheezing if I were a squirrel!) … then off they go again.

Today I was talking to a client about the struggles of trying to run a busy retail business, and yet still stay connected to the customers who keep her business afloat, but don’t come in every day (or week, or even month).

Take 10 and feel the Google Places love.

On April 20 the Official Google Blog announced that the Google Local Business Center is becoming Google Places. Places pages were originally launched last September. At that time I immediately uploaded clients including one of my businesses, Childhood Bliss. Not only does this help tremendously with your organic search engine optimization, but as a business owner you can utilize features such as adding events, coupons (formatted for mobile too!), videos, photos, list of your brands, and access to insights (baby google analytics). It's basically like having a free mini-website.
