Websites Key to Social Media

If Social Media is part of your marketing strategy in 2010, look carefully at your website first. Social media can really drive traffic to your site, and before you start driving people there, make sure you have something to show them, sell them, interact with, etc.

Lease Your Website

If it makes sense to you to lease your car, you may want to lease your website. It will cost you less upfront, and it will be updated regularly, and the technology it was built on will be upgraded regularly. And like a car, you get a better site, always have the latest and greatest technology and spend less.

Our New TV Show on Social Media

To meet the demand of “The Fortune 5-Million” who have the need for marketing services, but not the budget, we have launched TheSocialMediaShow.tv. Our premise is simple…to show our viewers the latest and greatest (or latest and worst) of what the social media world has to offer. Tune in for our upcoming episodes.

Industry Leadership in 30 days

You hear stories regularly about websites taking months to build. Well, our clients are frequently up and running in 30 days. Our teams study your industry, recommend site designs, customize design and functionality, and work 24 hours a day to get your site done faster, better and cheaper.

Branding

Detailed Analysis is Only the Start

Because the Internet makes everything you do and say transparent to all of your stakeholders, we start all projects with a detailed analysis of your brand and how it is differentiated in the marketplace. Carefully architected brands were once only considered by consumer products.

But now, EVERY business and institution needs to manage its brand to maximize it sales effectiveness, marketing ROI and asset value.

Web, Social Media & SEO

Have a Direct Impact on Your Customers

Sure, more money is still spent on traditional marketing than Internet marketing, but no one can deny the power of a strong website, the ease of finding it and communities of your clients speaking to you, your employees, your other clients and probably even your competitors.

How well you do this will have a direct impact on your sales, opportunities and relationships you build.

Marketing 2.0

Be "Marketing Agnostic"

So with your brand and web strategy heading in the right direction, now how do you leverage it at the lowest possible cost? In today’s new marketing world, there is no one tool you are going to use to accomplish your goal. In fact, you will likely use many tools -- all requiring different skills -- to reach your audience in ways they want to be reached. We think agencies need to be "marketing agnostic" so we can recommend what is best for our clients... not what is best for us.

Blogs - Defining the Undefineable

Posted by: in Marketing on Jun 14, 2010

Tagged in: News You Ought to Know About

There seems to be a lot of confusion about what a blog really is. Does it require a computer science degree and more money than Bill Gates has to create, operate and update regularly? The simple answer is, No!

Blogs are simply websites built on platforms that are incredibly easy to add content (pictures, copy, videos, etc) to quickly. In fact, Wordpress (which started as Blog software) is now the most used Content Management software (CMS) in the world. And to boot, the software is infinitely easier to find and learn to use effectively. With a blog, in no time, you'll be letting clients know the latest and greatest things happening in your company and with your products. No middle man required!

If you want to add a blog to your current website to keep the public up to date on what's going on, Twist can add one for you (which you can then manage yourself) for as little as $750. And if you decide you'd like to completely overhaul your whole site and rebuild it on Wordpress or Joomla CMS, we can do that too starting at $3500. Just think how much you'll save when you don't have to call the developer because you'd like to change a photo or add a new line to the list of products available. Check out www.twiststl.com for more information about our services and capabilities and see if a blog might be the right thing to push your business to the next level.
