A in programming language can have any value. Imagine a joker in a card set. It has any value within all the numbers available in the card set. Short codes are the same thing but with words. Why do we need short codes across your websites? Imagine that you have your contact information in each page Ex. Your phone number and your email. Now imagine that you have 100 pages in your website. If for any reasons you would like to change your phone number or your email, you will literately have to go to each page and change this information manually consuming your valuable time. Now if you place a short code in your page, for example and in your 100 pages and you decide to change your phone number then you would only change your phone number and your email in one place saving you hours of tedious work. Another example can be: Imagine that you have 100 pages and now you want a promotional link, banner, image, song, etc. in each page. can save you a lot of work and make you really time efficient. We implement this strategy across our websites and we anticipate the most common place where short-codes are needed and we create the short codes for you across your website.

What is an e-Store?

E-commerce allows consumers to electronically buy goods and services from your website with no barriers of time or distance. This is what is commonly known as an e-store. An e-store keeps track of your entire inventory, manages all your sales, and organizes your products into different categories, visually creating image galleries of your products. This makes it very easy for the end user to find what they are looking for. The e-Store also takes care of the entire checkout process from A to Z, so you don’t have to be available to process a transaction. You can set up your e-store to send you notification emails when you get a sale. It also has the ability to alert you when you are running out of stock of a particular item. You can say that an e-store is like having 3x 19 year old store clerk, hyped up on caffeine working 8 hours a day with no breaks and no sick days 24 hours 7 days of the week 365 days the year for free. That’s amazing. Ask us how!

What is an auto responder?

It’s a piece of software that enables you to send emails automatically. This doesn’t mean that it writes the emails for you and it doesn’t involve spam or sending unsolicited email. It means that you set up a sequence of pre-written emails that are sent out to prospects on your database at regular intervals.

The importance of this cannot be underestimated. Time and time again internet marketing gurus tell you that the money is in the list. This is not by accident. The online marketing specialists know that this is fact. The more people you have on a mailing list that are interested in your products or services, the more sales you will make.

You can use an auto responder to essentially send emails out to your prospect list, even when you’re not at a computer. What you do is you create, lets say, a seven part email course. Then you can set the intervals for the emails to, say, once a day and send them one part of the course each day. So you write the emails one time and then anyone joining that list will automatically be sent those emails for the next seven days.

This doesn’t matter if you’re online or if you’re away from the computer. They will get sent automatically. They also get added to the list automatically. And if they choose to unsubscribe, all of that is taken care of without you having to lift a finger.

The main benefit to using an auto responder is connected to the fact that the majority of people need to be told about a product seven times before they buy it. So I want to ask you, how many times are you telling your visitors about your product? Chances are it’s less than seven.

They’ll land on your homepage or somewhere else on your website and they’ll look at your offering, but the majority of your sites visitors will disappear. So unless you can get them onto an opt-in mailing list, either a course or free information that is of multi-part format, the chances are you will have lost them forever. You can use an auto responder to send these messages out to people with their permission, educating them about your products or services.

This is simply a form of permission marketing. People will give you their permission to receive emails in return for you giving them free, quality information. Do not load the messages with over-hyped sales pitches, but give them real quality information with a small mention about your product at the end.

What you’ll find is that people come to know you and grow to trust you over time as you send them more and more information. The longer you can maintain this relationship with them, the more likely they are to actually buy from you.

What is web traffic analysis?

Web traffic analysis uses a cookies and JavaScript code to collect information about visitors and to track your advertising campaign data. It anonymously tracks how visitors interact with a website, including where they came from, what they did on a site, and whether they completed any of the site’s conversion goals. It also keeps track of your e-commerce data, and combines this with campaign and conversion information to provide valuable insight into the performance of your advertising campaigns.

All of this information is presented in an easy-to-read, thorough manner, through intuitive, visual reports. The presence of a web tracking analysis system won’t affect the performance or the appearance of your website and there are no extra files to host on your website.

With information from web analytic tracking, you will be able to drive traffic more efficiently to your site, and convert that traffic more effectively.
