Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Linkedin - OH MY!

Today, Social Media Marketing and Social Networking are where the internet is going. Websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Yelp, Twitter, Habbo, YouTube and Flikr are changing the face of the web, the way people interact, and the way business is being done.

Over 400 million people are on Facebook worldwide and they spend over 500 Billion minutes there every month. YouTube serves up over 12 billion videos (up over 137% from 2008) per month and is still growing. Social network and social media marketing will exceed 2.4 billion dollars this year.

What does this mean for you as a small business owner? Simple, a fantastic marketing opportunity as well as a great opportunity to interact and respond to your current and future customers. A report from Nielsen shows that 90% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know, while only 41% trust sponsored ads on Web pages. The value of having a social media presence is in the trust you can inspire in current and potential customers. A 2008 Business in Social Media Study showed that 93% of social media users believe a company should have a social media presence. A second advantage -- constant contact with your client base. The same study showed that 85% believe that a company should interact with its clients on social media. This allows you an easy, inexpensive way to control your brand message while maintaining customer loyalty and satisfaction.

Hi Debi,
The web site you designed was far superior to any I could have done with software one can purchase. Of primary benefit was your expertise/knowledge of the net - how a web site works best on the net. I had a lot of questions in the beginning and at the end as well, and you were there every step of the way. Each and every step. You were right on time with the changes I requested. I have not had one complaint or concern about your high level of service and expertise!!

My website and Debi's services have thrust me into one of the greatest adventures of my life. Now being retired from many years as a school administrator, my time now is spent researching antique toy wagons. I get inquiries about vintage wagons on a daily basis which gives me the opportunity to be somewhat of an authority on wagons. Not only did Debi at Bright Hope Designs design my website but also my eBay Store and an attractive brochure. The website and her services have launched me into another exciting venture and that is the writing of a book on toy wagons. I get many compliments about the website and I depend on Debi to make changes and list additional antique wagon. Yes, I highly recommend Bright Hope Designs. Debi plays a big part in contributing to my fun life during retirement.

Hello Debi,
Although it has been about a year now, I wanted to "Thank you" for designing our website. We have had a website for many years, but this one has made a huge difference in the amount of people that contact us after visiting the site. My main goal in redesigning the website was to be able to reduce my yellow page expenses. I am happy to say it's working! Thanks again for a job well done.

Working with Debi at Bright Hope Designs was an absolutely wonderful experience. We started from scratch and built a website that is functional, beautiful, organized, and easy to navigate. Creating a website seemed overwhelming at first, but Debi broke the process down into easily manageable goals. She took our abstract ideas and created a webpage that is exactly what we envisioned. We appreciate her insight, professionalism, and most of all, patience! We look forward to working with Bright Hope Designs in the future as we build onto our website."
Cheers,
