It's pretty simple really, boredom doesn't sell, nobody gets excited about reading an article or watching a video that is boring and long winded.  If you want to keep your customers engaged then make what you do clear, concise and interesting.  This applies to everything from the design aesthetics of the material to the content it contains.  Avoid using technical terms and inside jargon if possible.    When possible, humor is great at getting the attention of your viewers, people will watch something if its funny and captures their interest.  Take a look at the new KMart ads (Ship Your Pants and Big Gas Savings), yes they are borderline vulgar and its getting them a lot of attention, but it works.  I'm not suggesting you go out and make a series of crude or vulgar videos, but humor (and in

If you follow any of the big blogger/news sites or any tech sites, you've probably seen articles mentioning newer technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 or Webkit.  Adobe Flash is going away, they've stopped releasing updates, iOS and Android Chrome don't even support it, so we're moving in a new direction.  HTML is the language that all basically all web sites/pages are constructed upon, it's the code that explains what is on the page, where it goes, what type of information it is, where to place images, etc.  CSS is a language that accompanies HTML and it tells the web browser how to make the HTML look (what fonts to use, how things are colored, if there are borders, etc).  The latest two languages of these combined give us the ability to make breathtaking web pages that render fast and don't

Quite frequently I see business web sites, blogs and social media profiles (i.e. Facebook) where the business mentions an article or a page on a web site that is not their own.  I disagree with this methodology because, you want your customers listening to you.  I know you probably think you're helping out your clientele/fans by sharing this great information you found, but all you're doing is pushing them to other sources where they may end up stumbling upon a competitor or they simply don't begin to see you as "the expert" anymore.  You want your customers seeing you as the authority in your field and you want them using your Facebook page, your site, blog, etc to learn about your business and industry.  On the flip side, its unreasonable for most small businesses to be the end all be

We just launched the DeWitt (Iowa) Volunteer Fire Department's very first web site!  This web site was developed under our non-profit program as part of our continued effort to give back to our community.  The DFD staff contacted us with a very specific vision for their web site, we met and went over their drawings and ideas.  The result of this project is a web site that matches their vision to a "T" and allows them to communicate with the public about their events, provide information on members, vehicles in their apparatus and give a public face to their very worthy organization.

We meet and speak with lots of different businesses.  Our clientele is a very culturally diverse ecosystem of companies in varied industries and of many different sizes.   Having this large breadth of first hand information to work with has given us the insight and advantage to see what's going on out there and where things are going.  That being said we've noticed some major changes over the last 18 months, the crazy fast adoption of mobile by consumers.  Now, I know what you're probably thinking
