What Is a Mobile
Website?
By: Kate P The Internet has evolved to not only be the main place to socialize with friends and family, but it has also become a great business place. It is a known fact that there are more people on the Internet everyday compared to watching television. These statistics basically proves that advertising online is better than the old fashion ways of advertisement. Business owners alike have been highly advised to take advantage of mobile websites. If you want to benefit your business greatly, then it is recommended to learn more about what a mobile website can offer you.
What Exactly Is A Mobile Website? A mobile-optimized or mobile site is a type of website designed for people to view through mobile devices. Since mobile devices have considerably tinier screen sizes compared to the standard desktop computer, it is vital that the mobile site suits the normal size of a cell phone. A mobile-friendly website can really help people like you to engage your many users and even allow them to open your sites content with an entire different view. While the much older phones as well as certain regions need websites to be in a certain language and can’t handle JavaScript, many smartphones nowadays have browsers that are similar to your desktop computers. Because of this, older mobile websites will be considerably different compared to the modern mobile sites. If you want to build your own mobile website, it is recommended for you to focus on building the website to mainly be for users which use high-end devices. If your business has a regular website that revolves around what your business offers, then you should be aware on how it will look quite dysfunctional and confusing on a
mobile phone. It is definitely going to be beneficial to invest in a mobile site.
The Benefits Of A Business Owner Having A Mobile Website - Allowing Your Customers To Contact You Easier And Faster The main benefit to owning a mobile site for your business is the fact that your customers or potential customers will be able to contact your business quicker. Surveys have shown that 40% of people lose interest in what a business offers due to the website looking awkward and unorganized from it not being a mobilized site. It is vital that all of your business’ potential customers have a great first impression on your business, as you want them to perceive your business as highly professional. - Have More People Everywhere See Your Site Another great benefit to owning a mobile site for your business is that wherever your customers may be, they will get to find out about the new things regarding your site. Simply everywhere your customers go, as long as they have Internet access on their mobile phone, they will be able to visit your site. If you want your business to gain more customers and have potential customers to see your business as completely professional, then it is advisable to get your own mobile website. A mobile website will most definitely benefit your business in a huge array of ways.

WHAT ARE YOUR
GOALS FOR 2013? BY: ANDREW ROGERSON | Article Source: www.EzineArticles.com/7354350
❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑
What are your goals for 2013? How will your business perform in 2013? Thankfully and mercifully the elections will be all over shortly. We then move into the holiday season and then in no time at all it will be 2013. So in many respects you have plenty to think about and enjoy at a personal level. But what about your business? Perhaps the best you can do in the short term with your business is to focus on Black Friday or start gearing up for the holiday season. Hopefully the “fiscal cliff ” will be taken care of fairly soon, it looks like the mess in Europe will continue for a number of years and both China and Asia seems to be slowing down. Where does that leave the US? Based on all the indicators, the US economy should lead the rest of the world out of recession. This makes sense, as the US led the world into the recession. So what are your plans for your business? Do you have a plan for your business and 2013? If not, 2013 is not far away and now’s the time to use your quiet time and put together the direction you wish to go in 2013. A business plan is a strategic plan. Part of its purpose is to engage your senior employees and include them in the process to understand their view of the company from their perspective and the steps they can take to get the business to the next level. It is critical you involve your senior employees and make them part of the process and any goals you set. If they don’t understand or buy into the direction the company is going they will not be as effective. So what do you include in your business plan? There are five key areas to include in a business plan and reflect what a business is all about. In simple terms they are: CUSTOMERS. They are a bit like family. Sometimes you cannot live with them but in the end, you cannot live
without them. So perhaps they are more important than family as you can move away but you still need customers. EMPLOYEES, HUMAN CAPITAL OR PEOPLE. Whatever name you wish to use, if your customers are the most important part of your business then you need employees to do the work to keep them happy. Best practices or standards. To keep the customers happy and provide the environment for the employees to be successful they need to know how high to aim and how they get there. To get there it includes team work and rewards so their achievements and successes are publicly and privately recognized.
MANAGEMENT. That’s where you come in, the role you play, the example you lead and the leaders that manage the employees. FINANCIAL SUCCESS. A business is called a business for many reasons but the most important is that its purpose is to make money. If the financial rewards are not great enough the owner withers and dies and so does the business. When the business is successful, the owner needs to take profit out of the business and move it somewhere else so they are managing their risk. EACH PIECE IS LINKED. If one piece fails then the whole plan fails. And that is part of the purpose of the business plan, to make sure the entire pieces move in harmony together as when that occurs, everyone is successful. Isn’t the reason to own and operate a business all about success? If you are yet to write a business and want a free template to use, this link will take you to a page on my website where you can download a template for free - Free business documents.

WAYS TO BUILD MORE PROFIT INTO
YOUR SMALL BUSINESS By Joan Nowak | www.EzineAr ticles.com/6739806 As you prepare your business for success in the coming year, will you focus your time and resources on sales growth? While it’s important, it’s often not enough. For sustainable growth and profit with a lot more control, spread your efforts around - creating small improvements in ALL areas of your business. It’s the formula for a business that is simple, fun and profitable!
So where do you start? Here’s the formula I recommend. Planning: You don’t need a 50 page business plan. But you do need some clear, measurable goals with specific ‘actions’ you need to take to achieve them. Written goals and a simple action plan provide you with focus and clarity. So take the time to write down what you WANT (results or outcomes) and what you need to DO (actions) to make it happen. Products/Services: When was the last time you actually thought about the products or services you offer? It’s more than just ‘what price should I charge’. Which ones are most profitable, which produce the most sales? Do your products and services still meet the needs of your target customers or do they need a facelift? Technology, competition and your customer needs change over time - make sure your products and services keep up! Promotion: Sales don’t just happen. So what are you doing to attract new customers and keep existing ones coming back and referring others? Most owners associate promotion with marketing for new customers - and invest few (if any) resources on current customers. Big mistake. Make sure your plans also include tactics to turn your current customers into raving fans - who spend more, buy more often and refer other quality people to your business. Processes: Streamlining and standardizing procedures make daily operations easier, efficient and more effective, whether you are there or not. They are also a key to increased profitability. As you plan for the coming year, make systematizing your business more of a priority. Start with just a few. Focus on those that save you time, increase sales, or fix problems that consistently erode profit. People: No business operates successfully in a vacuum - we all need help from others. While we often associate people with employees, building a strong
network of contractors, vendors and alliance partners for your business is equally important. Your needs will vary based on your business - but most small businesses have an opportunity to improve in this area. Have a method for hiring or developing new relationships with people who are committed to your customers and the success of your business. Personal Development: As you grow and improve, so will your business. We are all familiar with the phrase, knowledge is power, but it also translates to earnings or income. And it doesn’t require a lot of time or money - just a commitment to learning and building skills and knowledge. Here’s a few things to consider: • Invest 15 minutes a day reading and you will read about 12 books a year. • Turn drive time into learning with audio books. • Attend interactive workshops or webinars to improve knowledge gaps or simply get new ideas. • Meet with and build relationships with other successful business owners so you can share information and learn. • Work with a mentor or business coach who can help you find hidden opportunities, provide shortcuts to results and accountability to get more done. Profit: You don’t need to be an accountant or financial guru, but you do need to track and understand the numbers that drive your business - beyond just sales. Here’s a few others to consider: average sale per customer or transaction, number of leads, revenue per employee, average accounts receivable, gross profit margins, customer retention rates and net profit. Monitor them and focus on activities that help to improve them - especially gross profit margins and net profit. If you keep them at the center of what you do, your small business will continue to serve your needs and the needs of your people and customers. Remember, little improvements in ALL these areas will put more profit on the bottom line and in your wallet. So take the hybrid approach: bring together all the key elements that drive success and you too will have a business that is simple, fun and profitable.
