January 2011 Archives

Atlanta, GA - January 26, 2011 - For people already self-conscious about the cosmetic dentistry they may need, it's important to work with professionals who combine knowledge of the latest practices and technologies with understanding care and the human touch. That's where Dunson Dental Design stands apart.

"People with chipped, discolored, or missing teeth take a brave first step when they visit a cosmetic dentist," said Bernee Dunson, D.D.S. "While technology makes it easier to achieve a perfect smile, we also emphasize making patients feel confident and cared for."

"Our practice is focused on innovation," Dunson said. "Patients must feel comfortable that the team is on top of cutting-edge techniques, too."

Dr. Dunson is one of the few restorative dentists in Georgia who holds licensing needed to perform IV sedation. Distinctions like that, he said, stand in contrast from other practices like Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, who often focus on how nice the offices should be rather than the dentistry team's most up-to-date experience.

Backing this up is Dr. Dunson's busy schedule for continued training in restorative and implant dentistry. His offices have hosted a national "Implant 101" learning series that included lectures, live surgery and hands-on practical experience. He has lectured on dental implantology in the US, India and other countries. This includes Dr. Dunson's work on bone manipulation in the Persian Gulf.

Dunson Dental Design's offices are in midtown Atlanta. The practice mainly serves downtown and midtown patients with cosmetic dentistry options that range from teeth whitening and crowns to full dental veneers. Visitors to the offices and website can view testimonials like one from satisfied patients like Randell Hawkins, who called his own client experience "perfect" and extolled the practice's customer care.

David Meredith, CEO of Music Intelligence Solutions

Atlanta GA - They lied. "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." Yes, it's an UNtruth. The truth is, even with a great product -- even with a powerful differential advantage -- you need to bring in customers -- preferably lots of them.  Music Intelligence Solutions is doing just that, using technology to build a community around their company.

Their "mousetrap" is attracting lots of buzz; they've developed an algorithm that accurately predicts a song's popularity. It's patented as glitzy "Hit Song Science." Less glamorous is the business of attracting audiences to "discover" these new potential hits and the bands who perform them. That's where they "get social" with social media, blogs, widgets, apps and more!

 Attend the TAG enterprise 2.0 Society presentation, you'll learn:

·        How to wrap an app around your product

·        When social media can fan the flames of buyers' desires

·        Where blogging provides payback

·        How to use contests to engage the ego of reluctant customers

Atlanta Immigration Attorney Karen Weinstock Explains the New Proposed Legislation.

Atlanta immigration attorney Karen Weinstock analyzed the new proposed immigration legislation that Congress is now considering, the DREAM Act. While a few proposals have not yet made it to the table, a new compromise that addresses many of the Repulicans' concerns is now emerging and will be set up for a vote shortly in Congress' lame duck session.

The DREAM act offers a path to legalization for individuals who meet stringent eligibility criteria, among them are: they must have entered the United States before age 16; must have been here for five years or more; must not have committed any major crimes; must graduate from high school or the equivalent; and must complete at least two years of college or military service. Eligible students must first obtain conditional residency and complete the requirements before they can obtain a green card - a process that will take years.

"The DREAM act is not only the humane thing to do but also smart economically and socially", said Karen Weinstock, Atlanta immigration lawyer and the managing attorney of the Atlanta Immigration Law Firm Siskind Susser.

 

"The act will provide a legalization path to a deserving group of people who came here as young children and were educated in the U.S., and the children should not be penalized because their adult parents made the choice for them to enter illegally", said Weinstock, the Atlanta immigration lawyer.

"Most of these kids have already adjusted to our society and giving them the option to legalize their status as educated adults who contribute to this country makes a lot of sense", said Weinstock, the Atlanta immigration law attorney.
"There are many misconceptions about the benefits in the media, such as that this is an amnesty or that the DREAM act will use taxpayer dollars for scholarships and grants, but it is simply untrue. Students will have to pass through stringent criteria to qualify and pay back loans or work for any benefits they receive", said the head of the Atlanta Immigration Law Firm.

"Legalizing these students would only increase their earnings potential, as well as the U.S. tax base due to their higher earnings.  A 2010 study by the UCLA estimates that the total earnings of DREAM Act beneficiaries over the course of their working lives would be between $1.4 trillion and $3.6 trillion, which is a positive economic gain", added the Atlanta immigration lawyer.

"Most U.S. colleges and universities support the measure, as they are going to benefit from the addition in students and revenue base, and the economy would benefit from a more educated young and eager workforce. But it not only makes economic sense, it is the right thing to do for these children, who should not pay for the sins of their parents", concluded the Atlanta immigration attorney.

Taken from Heidi Cohen | January 10, 2011

Shovel and Twitter in hand during the post-Christmas Snowpocalypse, Newark Mayor Cory Booker showed that 2011 will be about being connected, showing up, and responding to customers' needs. Like Mayor Booker, online marketers will require more than social media marketing. Further, as Mayor Booker demonstrated, an integrated approach is essential for achieving your goals. For marketers, this translates to ensuring that all facets of the marketing mix must work well together.

Seven Top Online Marketing Trends for 2011

Here are the seven top online marketing trends.

1. Social media marketing goes mainstream. In 2010, corporate use of social media reached a tipping point. Companies will become more sophisticated in their social media marketing usage as they get more experienced. As part of this evolution, social media will extend throughout organizations, namely customer service. Further, social media advertising will come into its own and yield relatively stronger results as happens with any new advertising platform. It's also largely attributable to the ability to tightly target audiences based on social media activity.
   
   
   
   The one challenge to this progress will be Facebook, Twitter, and Groupon's high market valuations, potentially signaling a bubble.
   
   
2. Mobile hits its stride. While U.S. mobile expansion has been on everyone's list for many years, 2011 will pave the way for a number of important marketing changes. Fueled by high smartphone adoption that continues to expand and an increasing percentage of mobile-only households, the U.S. is poised for enhanced mobile marketing. Recent Nielsen data shows that 30 percent of cell phones are smartphones and BlackBerries account for about a quarter of smartphones.
   
   
   Source: The Nielsen Company                               
   
   Along with on-the-go consumption, e-mail remains the dominant mobile activity. Further, app users have downloaded an average of 27 apps.
   
   
   Source: The Nielsen Company                                
   
   Based on this growth, Forrester forecasts that over 75 percent of marketers plan to include mobile in their marketing mix. Given mobile e-mail's strength and average app downloads, focus on mobile interactive extension to meet users needs on the go. Think bite-size consumption and mobile findability (aka search). As a result, location-based services (aka LBS) such as Foursquare with competition from giants like Facebook will continue to expand their reach.

    

   
   
   QR codes and mobile payments will also grow.
   
   
3. Content marketing expands in new venues. Other forms of portable devices, namely e-readers and iPads, gain traction. Apple's iPad has sold 8.5 million units based on eMarketer's estimates.
   
   
   
   While Amazon has sold 8 million* Kindles, its highest selling item to-date. This is good news for publishers who consider these devices paid content consumption nirvana. These devices require that marketers think about their target market's content consumption habits. Roughly two-thirds of consumers have paid for some form of online content according to Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. Among the dominant forms of paid content were digital music, software, cell phone and tablet apps, digital games, news articles or reports, and videos, movies, or television shows. But, before publishers run to the bank, they must assess the average $47 content spend carefully because the typical customer only spends $10!
   
   
4. Marketing goes real-time, not just watching issues for PR and potential fires. (Hat tip to David Meerman Scott.) Marketers must be vigilant to take advantage of marketing opportunities while mitigating the impact of small fires (for example, Ford's use of social media to quell a PR fire). This requires a more flexible promotional and communications strategy. As a result, marketing needs to be agile because these events can't be planned six months in advance. Further, every firm must have a crisis management plan and vigilant monitoring.
   
   
5. Online retail continues to take market share from other channels. Christmas 2011 showed that consumers were willing to spend money, either due to pent up desire or as shopping therapy, despite the challenging financial outlook. Online holiday purchasing grew, taking share from brick-and-mortar retail, showing consumers' willingness to use and trust online payments. J.P. Morgan senior analyst Imran Kahn forecasts that U.S. online retail will continue to grow at a 12.4 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) from an estimated $166 billion in 2010 to $235 billion in 2013. While a very small percentage of holidays sales, social shopping will continue to expand its influence due to its ability to target and reach consumers early in the decision phase. Also, group buying via Groupon and its competitors will continue to be a growing trend as long as marketers can make money from these promotions.
   
   
6. Integrated marketing comes of age. As the big social media marketing campaigns of 2010, namely Pepsi Refresh and Old Spice, showed, integration across marketing platforms is a must! With expansion of social media marketing; mobile, e-reader, and offline marketing (remember, television still dominates!) all need to work together.
   
   
7. Metrics move into the spotlight for social media. Just as you do for traditional forms of marketing, as social media matures and invests real budget and headcount, management will require justification for these dollars. To this end, better social media metrics and a clear pathway to ROI is needed. Related to this is improved social monitoring to aid tracking. Further, marketers must incorporate calls-to-action and promotions to aid tracking.

As you plan for 2011, use these seven online marketing trends to guide your marketing initiatives. Bear in mind that to hit your 2011 goals, you need to have metrics including those for your social media and mobile strategies that help you achieve your corporate mission.

On October 21, 2010 the Sole Practitioner Small Firm section hosted a breakfast meeting

at the Buckhead Club. Speaking to a full audience, Jennifer Dunphy from VAYU Media

presented "Marketing Your Firm Online & In Person." VAYU is a full service online

marketing firm specializing in Search Engine Optimization ("SEO").

 

Ms. Dunphy stressed that "everything starts with your website." It is your 24

hour sales person and provides a consistent explanation of "your story" to potential

clients. With this in mind, Ms. Dunphy discussed the influential characteristics of

successful websites.

 

Specifically, the most important features are aesthetics and functionality. If your

site is boring, the next site is an easy click away. Also of importance are the structure

and focus of information.

Be clear when defining your services. And, while attorneys

exist in the written word, clients want photographs. Your photographs should be

professional and include a descriptive tag. Additionally, avoid crowding.

 

Keywords are also important. The goal is to be near the top of a search results

page. Use of strong keywords can help meet this goal. For example, give each page of

your site a title tag. This tag is the language that appears as the link in search results. As

an example, if you are Johnny Cochran, your title tag should be "civil rights attorney",

not "Johnny Cochran." The reason for this is that people search for practice area and

location, not the specific name of a firm or attorney.

 

Links to your website are also highly effective. Specifically, if other websites

(under your control or not) provide a link to your website, your search ranking benefits.

Some example ways to increase the number of links to your website include: asking to be

placed on other sites; listing in online directories; press releases; published articles; social

media sites; consumer reviews; interactive web 2.0; blogs; online videos; and Wikis.

 

In order to keep your website updated with fresh information, consider using a

content management system. This tool does not normally require any software

programming experience and is easy to use. Some example content management systems

available include Joomla.org, WordPress.org and Drupal.org.

 

Finally, Ms. Dunphy provided some local internet marketing 101. 59% of searching is conducted by using 3 words or less. So, it is important to tailor your site to include the necessary keywords for which people might be searching. Such tailoring can be assisted by SEO.

 

Search Engine Optimization and Submission Services follows a formula of identifying your objectives, producing compelling content, designing the look and feel, increasing links, tracking success and revising.

Websites that have been "optimized" with SEO, either in house or through a consulting

firm, can expect to increase traffic between 38% and 110%.
