If EZcheckedin is so good, why the HESISTATION?

 7 REASONS FOR THE HESITATION?

1. TRUST.  It’s hard to trust someone nowaday especially when they approach you via the digital world.  It could well be a criminal that’s trying to take advantage of you.  So therefore, we do not dare to ask you to trust us but we would like to ask for the opportunity to serve you for 30 days free.  After 30 days of FREE TRIAL, you decide whether or not to continue without any obligation whatsoever! If you need to learn more about who we are, we are an information technology company with more than 20 years in the industry and rated A+ by the BBB.  Click here to learn more about EZcheckedin for Salons & Spas at www.ezcheckedin.com.

2. PRICE.  Our price is not the lowest on the surface.  However, for what we offer, we believe that our price is second to none.  We will not only match our competitors’ prices but also give you a 20% discount on top of it assuming the services are the same.  Unlike others who demand that you purchase their hardwares or offer them free to you and then get them back with their long-term contract, we don’t.  You can use whatever hardware you have, iPhone,iPad, Android Tablets, Android Mobiles, Desktop, or Laptop and most of them work well with our software. This will save you a lot of money.

3. AFRAID OF CHANGES.  Nobody wants change and it’s in our human nature to resist change.  However, most of us are willing to change once we realize that the change will do so much good. In the case of EZcheckedin for Salons & Spas, especially for those who have used other similar systems, you will realize that there isn’t much change that you have to make because many features and functions are the same except it’s much easier to use.  During your first few weeks, we assigned a dedicated support staff to your account making sure that everything is working smoothly.  

4. ASSURANCE.   We are so confident of our product (EZcheckedin for Salons & Spas) that we offer a 30 days FREE TRIAL and no long-term contract.  This means that you can leave anytime you are not happy with our product or service. This also means that we have to work our butt off to earn your business else you would go.  

5. BAD EXPERIENCE.  A lot of our customers came to us and expressed bad experiences from their previous vendors.  “So many promises and very little delivered” they said.  We won’t say that you will be happy with us in everything but what we can tell you is that our customers rated us 4.8 out of 5 stars overall.  

6. LEARNING.  One of the biggest obstacles for salon owners is that they are so busy and they just don’t have time to learn the new technology or new way of doing things.  We can assure you that there isn't an easier nail salon app to use.  Our trained staff will take you step by step and we have a whole library of tutorial videos online.

7. TECHNOLOGY.  Most of the salon softwares out there was made by order.  What we meant by this is that they were ordered to make by business entrepreneurs and not by the technology company itself.  This means the ability to keep up with the changing of technology is limited by cost and by resources.  EZcheckedin is built and constantly being updated with the latest technologies by a team of 24 software engineers with more than 20 years of experience in the industry.  We own every single line of code and we can make changes or customize it according to your business needs because it’s our very own product.  What made EZcheckedin for Salons & Spas special is that it has everything a salon needs built under one system.  This includes but not limited to Customer Check-In, Online Booking, Point of Sales (POS), Credit Card Services and Online Marketing.

How to find out the security and compliance of your website?

How to find out the security and compliance of your website?

In recent years, we have heard all the horror stories about website security and compliance. This is one topic that every company’s CEO agreed that it’s a top priority for their firms. However, when it comes down to it; most of them just talk and take very little action on it. Why? Because it hasn’t happened yet and it costs to much to deal with or worse yet; their IT team said that they are okay.

Before we go into answering the question of “How to find out the security and compliance of your website?”, let us briefly talk about may cause the insecurity of your website? Here are just a few:

1. Coding or Software. Have you or your IT ever looked into how the website was coded? Do they leave any hole that a robot or trojan can crawl and get into?
2. Hardware or Server. Is the server setup with all the security needed to protect your site?
3. Who has access to it? Too often we spend so much time and money defending the attackers from the outside but in reality; it’s most often and the most damages are caused by the insiders.
4. How often it’s being backup? Maybe you as the owner or the CEO of the firm tried to ask your IT team a backup of the website from last week to see if they can deliver it. The reason I brought this up is that too often your IT guys said it’s regularly backup but when it happened; you found out that is not the case.
5. Who and how the website was created? Was it coded from the scratches by your IT team? Was it came from one of those open source Wordpress? Having an answer to this question will help you think of what you have to do when it comes to your website’s security.
6. What about a SSL? Now days almost every site has a security socket layer to protect the website. And it’s one thing almost every webmaster knows. However, it’s also one thing misled to a lot of naive or untrained webmaster thinking that’s all they needed and when the website has this; it’s safe and sound. This is one of the biggest mistakes out there!
7. Is it equipped to stand against a DOS attack? Denial of Service or DOS attack is one hell of an attack and when it came, only a few is equipped to deal with it because it’s so costly. Fortunately, with recent technology service provided by company like Cloudflare; this solution is very affordable and very easy to implement
8. Can it handles a worst case scenario of heavy traffic? Let's say tomorrow your company ran a Superbowl ad and you expect one million visitors within 30 minutes. Can it handle it? Maybe before you spending millions of dollars running the ad, you may want to put it through a bandwidth load impact test? There are third party services that provide this kind of service such as Loadimpact.com where you spent a few hundred dollars to find out first before spending millions and ended up ruining your company’s reputation.

Fortunately, with just a few hundred dollars; our website security team can quickly find out the answer for you and also provide you a step by step detailing how to fix it yourself or we can do it for you.

I hope that this article or video has helped you somewhat in answering the “How to find out the security and compliance of your website? ” If you have any questions, please contact Digital Marketing Solutions’s Website Security Service.

How to create a successful Google PPC?

How to create a successful Google PPC?

If you have advertised with Google where you “paid to be found”, then you know the process is not that complicated. But let's first define what is Google PPC? It’s an abbreviation from Google “pay per click” or PPC. It simply means that you will be charged each time someone clicked on your ad. How much? Well, it depends on the amount you agreed with Google when you first set up the campaign. Here come the complexities. How much should you pay per click? Determining how much you should pay Google per click required a lot of evaluation and examination of your competitors independently from Google. I am talking about others who paid Google to be found on the same keywords or similar keywords as you are. It’s all come down to who is willing to pay to be on top of the others. So to know who is out there and who paid for what amount is the job that not everyone knows. Yes, within Google’s Adword system, it does give you an “estimate”. Remember, the word “estimate and I have been there and done that. Google will give you an estimate and this estimate is always for Google’s profit margin. You know what I meant and let leave it just that before this article is being banned.

This is when you need a company like Digital Marketing Solutions LLC or any other trusted digital marketing company to help you out. We have the software tools, and strategy to get you the biggest bang for your buck. It’s estimated that billions...with a Big B are being wasted each year by businesses running Google AdWord. Here is a classic example of money being wasted. Let's say you have the software and the services for this software. The software is penny auction and the website that you would like to bring people to is www.pennyauctionsoftware.com. So you decided to use the following keywords such as “penny auction website, free penny auction site, best penny auction site, bidding on penny auction site, etc.” because these were the keywords suggested for you. You ran the ad months after months and it racked up thousands of clicks and you paid an average of $5 per click. You now can see how much you have to pay Google and none of this is Google’s fault because you were the one to set this up and Google engine just followed your setting. Even Though there are 5 thousand clicks on this ad (5k x $5 per click = 25k) but there are only ten people who actually contacted you via your website. So in this case, the cost per conversion is $2,500. 

It cost you $2,500 for each sales lead. This is an enormous amount to pay for ten sales leads. With this kind of money, you can see that you can better spend it elsewhere to get a much better result.

You now blamed Google for paying so much without much result. But Google is not the problem. The problem is with your campaign’s settings because most of those five thousand clicks were people who were looking for a penny auction website to bid on. They are the bidders looking for the penny auction site to bid on and not the people who are looking for penny auction software and services. In fact, you wasted these people’s time. They found you under those keywords and then clicked on it thinking that you are a website offering penny auction bidding and not the software and services you are trying to sell to those who wanted to set up a penny auction website. This is just a small example of ad money being wasted. There are tons of others that this brief article is not able to cover all. 

So What included in Digital Marketing Solutions’s Google PPC & Facebook Campaign? Here is just a shortlist:

1. Keywords research and analysis
2. Target market analysis
3. Competitors’ analysis
4. A marketing strategy roadmap
5. Weekly report and campaign adjustment based on competitor analysis
6. Landing page creation

I hope that this article or video has helped you somewhat in answering the question of how to create a successful Google PPC? If you have any questions, please contact the Digital Marketing Solutions’s Email Campaign.

How to create a successful email campaign?

How to create a successful email campaign?

Before answering this question, let us dive into this service a bit and try to understand what it is and the good, the bad and the ugly sides of the email campaign.

So and so promised you that with just a few hundred dollars, they can send hundreds of thousands of emails for you. This sounds so good isn’t? Worse yet, they try to sell you that million email list for just $99 and you thought it was a great deal! I have so many customers bought into this and have tried it themselves. The reality is that most of these emails will be blocked or filtered as junk by anti spamming network and software. But that is not a big problem. The problem is that your email account may have ended up being listed in the “black list” and unusable. If this email is hosted within your server, the entire server IP address may also be banned. This is a problem that will cost you a lot of time and efforts to untangle or to get out of it. 

So Email Marketing is not what it used to be. This doesn’t mean that Email Campaign is dead or longer a viable solution to your marketing. In fact, if it’s done right; it provides you the biggest bang for your buck. The key here is that it must be done right. So before start sending email out based on the list you just bought...think it twice.

So what Digital Marketing Solutions’s Email Campaign Service do differently? First, we only use quality email list. This means these emails were collected based on permission or subscribed option. Meaning that the end users have given permission to send. Maybe not all of them but as long as you have a delivered rate of about 7% or more, most of the networks are okay with it. Second, in the email there must be an option for the end users to unsubscribe and once this request is made; it will be automatically removed from any future sending. Third, it must come from a trusted network that delivering it. Meaning that the server or network that was used to send these emails is not blacklisted or spam watch rada. Fourth, each email campaign must be monitored and constantly cleaned. Why kept on sending to those who never opened your emails? We have a report of those who opened or not opened as well as one that has been successfully delivered and those that got blocked. So cleaning up and improving the quality of your email list is a major task. Finally, we only charge you for the delivered one and void or no charged for the ones that failed to deliver. Here are a few things that we suggest you do to your email campaign:

1. Scrub and verify your email list regularly. ...
2. Personalize the email to each recipient. ...
3. Use emojis in your subject line. ...
4. Test multiple deployment times. ...
5. Build a double opt-in list. ...
6. Segment your email list. ...
7. Use a custom responsive email template. ...
8. Have one clear call-to-action per email.

How to create a successful SMS messaging campaign?

How to create a successful SMS messaging campaign?

There are many ways to deliver your message and got your customers’ attention but none work like a text message. Of course, there are pros and cons to it. But if you have a line to deliver and get our customer’s attention, SMS messaging is certainly second to none. The open rate is extremely high. Some studies show it’s as high as 95% compared to an average of 7% for email campaign. The problem here is that it’s not that easy to have all of your customer’s mobile phone numbers. Everyone can online and create an email account and then give it to you but most people only have one mobile number and it’s very sacred to them. If you are planning on using SMS as a way to reach to your customers, then you have to plan have to plan way ahead of time. 

For an example, if you run a nail salon business and you are planning on sending sms message to your customer on a weekly or monthly basis; then you need to have a way to collect and got their permission to send the sms message to them. Maybe you have a sign up sheet clearly stated that they will get a 5% discount for leaving their mobile phone with you because want to send them the 5% discount coming up next week? If you have a website, maybe it’s time to add another field called “mobile phone” and it’s required? There are many ways to collect them but always respect their permission. If they asked to be removed, then you must have a system where it’s automatically removed. Else, you will forget to remove them and if you have to do it manually; it would cost you so much time and effort. Some carrier services charged their customers for texting so you must be aware of this and let your customers know. Although most mobile phone carriers now days offer unlimited texting.

How we do it? Our system store these numbers in a database and once we created a message; we can schedule it to deliver them. Just one click for the entire database. If you wish to send it yourself one by one, then it’s okay but think of the time it would take you and how are you going to keep track of who got it? Who requested to be opted out? Etc.

The biggest down fall of sms messaging is their ability to send out a long message. This is where email campaign has the advantage edge over sms messaging. A few things to keep in mind when you wanted to create a successful SMS messaging campaign:

1. Get Permission & Make Opt-out Clear.
2. Know the Rules. ...
3. Less is More. ...
4. Timing Matters. ...
5. Keep it Fun! ...
6. Segment. ...
7. Instill Urgency …

To take your text marketing campaign a step further, there are a tactic to keep in mind when you can undertake a SMS messaging campaign. These include:

• Adhere to customer expectations.
• Tempt and motivate.
• Choose the right words.
• Remain relevant.
• Write concise messages.
• Add short links.
• Engage to build a relationship.
• Consider triggered messages.
