A few years ago my husband was in the process of researching restaurants online for a trip we were planning. When he shared the results of his research he said: “I’ve found a few good ones – there were a couple of others I wanted to check out, but they don’t have a web site, so forget it.”
I’m guessing he’s not alone in that sentiment. How often have you tried to find information about a restaurant, or some other business online, only to give up on them and select another option instead?
In the 21st century, if you’re in business and you don’t have a web site (more…)

Blogging can seem like a big commitment and, to a certain degree, it is. After all, you don’t want to start a blog without committing to posting to it regularly. But the time and effort don’t have to be overwhelming. I started this blog in February 2009 and have been posting to it regularly ever since.

Small businesses, I think, have an edge when it comes to social media engagement, and Facebook is a very good example of this.
