Thinking Outside of the Box
Thinking Outside of the Box
Think Webstore opened in January of 2008 and has apparently found a way around the recessed economy. Rather than facing shrinking, like so many businesses in their industry and outside their industry, they have continued to grow through the down economy. (more…)
Direct Messaging
Direct Messaging: Are you missing the opportunity to communicate with your customers? If your focus is on being creative and out of the box at the expense of common sense connecting then you may be suffering from Adsy-Creative syndrome.
When we think of great advertising we often think of very clever ads that run on TV. There is a popular notion that great advertising is always something extremely creative, or even over-the-top. This misconception is reinforced through the commercials we see regularly on television, produced by business moguls like Coke™, Nike™, and Nestle™. While huge agencies cleverly representing enormous companies are real, this top fractional segment represents only the smallest percentage of businesses and the smallest percentage of advertising.

Be Known for Something
Is Your Business a “Go To” Place for Something? Just one thing? You should be. This and Two Other Golden Rules to Do Business By.
One of the keys to business success, start-up and otherwise, is to be known for something, just one, single something. It allows you to specialize rather than be simply categorized.
Rule Number One: Be known for something
Five Guys is known for burgers and fries. Abner’s is known for chicken. Batteries Plus is known for batteries! By being known for a thing, a business can accelerate its market presence more than with any other single strategy. It allows businesses like Batteries Plus to compete with category stores like Walmart. That is not to say that Walmart is not successful or known for anything. Walmart spends a lot of money pushing the message of low prices. McDonald’s is undeniably the fast food king. However, it is not known for a single item, such as hamburgers. They promote fast food items from salad to fish to wraps to McRib Sandwiches. Category businesses are known for more general attributes such as price, speed or convenience. Again, by being known for a single thing a business can more easily draw business from category leaders. (more…)
Get the Message Out!!
Are You Doing Everything You Can To Communicate With Your Customers?
Today’s landscape of communication options can be overwhelming for any sized business, let alone small and mid-sized businesses that already feel crunched when it comes to time and resources for self promotion. However, the plethora of options has also come with advances in the technology that can be used to manage those communications.
In Ridgeland, Mississippi, thinkWEBSTORE is helping clients face these challenges and understand the tools that make it possible to communicate with customers in many new ways.
Website + Social Media Makeover
Give your Company the Gift of Business
How does your website stand up against your competition’s? Does it play well with your social marketing sites? A website can just sit there like a dusty can on a shelf. Or, it can be a vivid expression of what you want your business to be, and how you want it to compete with others. More and more small to mid-sized companies are realizing that how they express themselves online is crucial to how well they perform in today’s economy. And increasingly today’s messaging isn’t about shouting louder, it’s about speaking smarter. This means targeting the message and the medium to the right audience. Online, you can. (more…)
Marketing Strategy for this Century
thinkWEBSTORE.com helps Local Businesses Compete
Has the Web changed Marketing Strategy? Yes, of course it has. Has it become a tool to help you organize your marketing efforts? You bet.
The fact is, developing your brand and marketing materials has never been easier. Websites have become the proving ground for all aspects of a company’s marketing presence before it is ever committed to the sunk cost and expense of more traditional materials such as print, video and audio that, once created, cannot be easily changed or changed at all.

Marketing is a very common business concept, but one that I find is interpreted and applied very differently by business people. Marketing is often seen as a luxury, and not a necessity, so it is often first on the chopping block during budget cuts. Hundreds, if not thousands, of marketing books are published each year trying to influence the way business leaders plan and execute their marketing strategies. Over the years, Al Ries, Jack Trout, Robert Cialdini and Seth Godin are a few of the authors and consultants that have risen above the pack to make a major impact on the way we think about marketing. For most entrepreneurs who don’t have a direct background in marketing, sorting through the various theories of marketing can be a difficult thing. Part of the confusion lies in how we think about advertising, public relations, sales, and marketing.
