Cupcakes and Calendars

September ImageWe have two fun campaigns going on right now that yield prizes. You still have plenty of time to get in on the action.

If you have not yet received a personalized cupcake poster, let me know. We are still running our cupcake referral program. For every referral you provide (that we are not currently doing business with), we will bring you six delicious Georgetown Cupcakes. Contact me for more information.

Also, do not forget to play our September calendar contest. Guess the location on this month’s calendar page and you can win a $75.00 Starbucks Card!! If you have not yet seen the calendar, please ask me to bring you a copy. It shows you how we have used QR codes all year to gain visitors to the contest site.


QR Codes are going mobile!

We have just completed an educational piece that describes information you need to know regarding QR codes and how to use them effectively. Shoot me an email if you want me to bring you a copy.

The reality is that QR codes are effective for:

  1. Collecting critical customer/prospect data
  2. Introducing a new product, service, idea etc.
  3. Gaining friends and followers for social networking sites
  4. Giving back - if you get them there - offer an incentive
  5. Gaining interest in events, shows, upcoming meetings
  6. Showing videos, offering coupons, registration for giveaways

One of the top tips we can give is to make the landing pages from a QR code mobile friendly! This is where we can help.

We know that all the marketing information out there is telling you that you need to have a mobile presence or at least landing pages to allow your audience a way to get to know you via their smart phones. We want to make that easier for you. Let us sit down with you and talk about ways that mobile landing pages can help engage your audience. We have a programming staff ready to help.

Mobile sites and landing pages can be used to:

  • Gain smart phone visitors to a mobile friendly version of your website
  • Mobile pages to talk about upcoming conference or meeting- gain interest here and they can go to your regular website for more info or sign up from mobile page
  • Gather data from prospects or customers that enter via a smart phone- capture emails
  • Great way to ask for immediate donations – incorporate a QR code with giving campaigns
