I know.... I know.... Seems like just this past summer Facebook announced a whole slew of changes that were set to revolutionize the way businesses "do social." I know I

Typically we do not build website in-house if only because we prefer to focus our efforts on digital strategy, management and implementation. That said on occasion we've been known to

I know... Inforgraphics are really heating up right now. If you are trying to stay ahead of or even near the front of the curve by now you are well

It happens all too often. A business owner has a website that does absolutely nothing for their business. The site might look nice and the site might even link to all the latest 2.0 but the truth is the site for whatever reason does not reflect the actual needs of the business. Recently I sat down with someone who had a very big store as their home page. They offered up a million different flavors of their various different "widgets" all available for purchase on their site. I have to say given the scope of how much they offered I was impressed - walking in as a stranger to their business the storefront felt substantial. But this business owner was also in an extremely competitive market.

One of our firms' best assets is knowing "things." Considering we are a digital marketing company, that should not come as a surprise - if we don't know "things" we don't really provide any value. In fact every week some of the calendar is dedicated to ongoing learning. Some of that learning takes place in the form of reading blog posts (just a quick heads up - we plan on putting up a big list of our favorites soon), some learning is focused on taking the time to read various white papers, videos and webinars and yes we still go old school and actually read books! In any event, it is still early days on this project for Gadarian Digital but the reason to share it now is mainly to give those of you looking for some alternative ideas an inside look at how we are going about putting this particular wrinkle of our business together. Learn from our mistakes, and yes we will be sharing them...
