Is Free or Open Source Software Any Good?
Posted by: | CommentsThat’s a tough question. After a few frustrating experiences, I wrote off all open source software as junk. My complaints were usually justified.
Updates were haphazard and the software often had little or no documentation (that a non-tech person could understand). If you had a problem there was no 800 number to call to get help, The user interface was usually horrible (something only a “code-writer” could love), and, frankly, I distrusted anything created by someone who was doing it for a hobby.
While there are still plenty of examples out there of open-source software created by people who have no concept of the meaning of the term “user-friendly”, there are a lot of free software packages out there that are surprisingly good. And the next step up into the paid-level is usually reasonable.

Do you have a Marketing Plan or a Marketing Hope?
Posted by: | Comments
Do you have a marketing plan or a marketing hope? By this I mean, are you hoping business will pick up or do you have a marketing plan you are following to make sure your business increases?
I was at a BNI meeting yesterday subbing for someone. One of the presenters said that 97% of small businesses don’t have a business plan. While they may have pulled that number out of thin air, I’ll bet no more than that number have a Marketing Plan.

I read an interesting article today from BIZREPORT magazine for online marketers. The article was titled “How Local Websites Are Making Money”. The following are the two quotes that really caught my eye:
“With more consumers logging on to the Internet to research products, buy tickets or get the daily news, marketers feel the Internet is the best place to convert researchers and window shoppers into buyers.”

Internal Company Slogans can Motivate and Focus Employees and Vendors
Posted by: | CommentsI read a wonderful article in Forbes the other day. It stressed how a proper internal slogan can be a rallying cry for your employees and management. It can also be a targeting center for sub-contractors and vendors to help them stay focused on what’s important to your firm.
