A Statement Piece Should Do All The Talking

The best way to allow your statement necklace to do all the talking is by wearing it with the right neckline.

Off-the-shoulder, strapless, v-necked or scoop-necked tops and dresses are most ideal, as these types of garments do not interfere with the piece's presentation and shine. Do your best not to mix bold or loud pieces with halter tops or pieces with collars.

We suggest that you wear your statement necklace with a simple or one-colored top or dress so your necklace will talk for itself.

BENEFITS TO STARTING AN ONLINE BUSINESS

Technically, an online business is not a digital or virtual extension of an existing traditional business. An online business is a digital enterprise where the primary existence of the company is in the virtual world.

HIGH RETURNS ON YOUR INVESTMENT

The investment is low to begin with. The returns are high anyway when you assess the ROI. However, given the scope of expansion and exponential growth that one can encounter, the returns on investments are exponentially higher than conventional or traditional businesses A traditional business can only reach out to an immediate audience. Online businesses can transcend geographical boundaries, cultural and social barriers to emerge as a global phenomenon.

EASY STARTUP

An online business can be launched in weeks, if not days. Once the business plan is in place and all the products or services are ready to be rolled out, it takes days to start an online business. For those who don’t need to rely on website designers or a multipurpose agency, the ball can be set rolling in less than a week.

AUTOMATION

Online businesses can be automated, almost entirely.

SOCIALMEDIASTRATEGYINSIGHT

The reality is, social media marketing is a powerful way for businesses of all sizes to reach prospects and customers Your customers are already interacting with brands through social media, and if you ' re not actively present and speaking directly to your audience through social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, you ' re missing out! A carefully thought-out social media marketing plan can bring remarkable success to your business, creating loyal brand consumers and even driving leads and sales

No matter what your business is, or will be, in order to make it successful, you will need to create some kind of social media marketing plan. If you have traditional marketing skills, you will definitely notice the link between social media marketing and traditional marketing. Not to mention that although traditional marketing skills are transferable, they are not the same thing.

You will never be fully done with a social media marketing plan. You will need to continue to update it and refer back to it in order to continue to succeed.
