Feed A Slice Of Our Own Advice.

May 15th, 2012
Edited by: LingoLiz

a selection of hand-written digital marketing words, or jargon.

Writing new content can sometimes feel like a chore; another item on a business owners’ long list of ‘to-do’s.

But the advice remains the same; neglect your website copy at your peril!

Sites without fresh content are less likely to be delivered by search engines than those with new info. And let’s face it, your customers will be turned off if things feel ‘stale’.

So how about a tip to help inspire you with some fresh writing?!

When advising customers on text-composing techniques I often say “Try to imagine your ideal customer; sat at the other end of the internet, staring at the screen as you are typing. What would you say? What piece of advice would you give them and how would you start explaining that you are the expert at what you do?”

By simply and honestly providing quality information that your customers are looking for, (often this is knowledge you might take for granted) in an understandable tone, you will score your online goals; to engage with your audience!

So, in taking a slice of my own advice, I’ve just updated our site with a new page on Digital Marketing, in particular explaining that we offer ‘social media strategy and planning’. The page features an embedded list of the latest ‘on topic’ news post (such as this one), giving advice on how we can help companies make the most out of the various tools and trends.

Just as in my post explaining why a good website should never be ‘finished’   this page will require ongoing development; using fresh content, and most of all, referring to the tip above; giving more good, free advice!

Remember, if you need help, just get in touch. We don’t bite, and we’re passionate about not bamboozling you with jargon. It’s why we’re here and why we’re called Lingo.

A Case Study in Social Media Demographics

Whether you love or hate info graphics, quite often, as long as you take them with a pinch of salt, they can be a useful tool to demonstrate complex statistics.

The every changing social media sphere poses an ever lasting subject for info graphic designers…this one strikes a chord with us, as the design is simple and the topic is relevant, even if the data will be out of date as quickly as you can take it in…

Feed QR: Quite Rare codes

Lingo customers David and Trish McManus clearly like to do things a little differently.

You only have to visit their beautiful bar and restaurant ‘The Hare Arms’ at Stow Bardolph near Downham Market (and if you havent, you really should) to find it’s well known as a place like no other; every available inch of the welcoming bar is packed with fascinating decorative memorabilia, quality objects to amuse and entertain as you sup a pint of real ale while soaking up the glowing atmosphere. Then there’s the peacocks roaming outside and a well justified reputation as one of the best restaurants around for food and service; there’s nothing ‘standard’ about it.

So, when Trish asked Lingo to assist with a promotion using a QR code, I was buzzing with ideas, excited about working with the new technology and it wasn’t long before the code was generated and we were working out promotion details.

The promotion works when customers scan the unique matrix barcode using an app. The code takes browsers to a unique url and landing page suitable for mobile devices, encouraging a ‘check-in’ via facebook. Once ‘checked in’ (the bar has free wi-fi) visitors can claim their free drink in the process!

Why not check it out…all you need to do is get to the Hare Arms and find a code…!
