2010 Year End Model Close Out Deals

Posted: 10 Oct 2010 10:04 AM PDT
If you have not taken advantage of a close out 2010 model Car, Truck, or SUV, you may want to act fast!

Car Company's are moving these vehicles as fast as possible and they are going quick. At one time, November and December were the months with the greatest incentives, but It seems to be a race to see who can liquidate Model Close Outs the quickest.

It is not only moving these vehicles so they don't get stuck with them at year end, but they also want to unveil the new models coming out. Many consumers want to be the first to own next years model, whether it be a new design or just the idea of saying they have the new 2011.

GM No-Start Pass Lock Sensor

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 07:32 PM PDT
If you have a GM vehicle that turns over, but will not start; check this. Turn your key to run without turning over and see if your Security light is flashing. Many times the Pass Lock Sensor will not recognize your key and will not crank. If your Security light is flashing, you can leave your key in the Run Position until the light quits flashing--it will light up solid after approximately 15 minutes. At this point, turn ignition off and then turn and crank!

This is especially true if your Security light has been coming on periodically while driving. Hope this helps get someone out of a jam because mine has acted up at a gas station twice now. You can have the Sensor replaced or you can deal with the 15 minute delays.


Thank you,

4 Reasons Your Website Sucks

4 Reasons Your Website Sucksdescribe the image

I know, you've been working really hard on your website. You've made sure that every pixel is perfect, every menu margin magnificent, and every title titanic.  Unfortunately, it's entirely too easy to make a beautiful website that, well, sucks.
Here are four ways things can go horribly, terribly wrong:
 
1- Your website isn't findable. Some of the biggest companies in the world have websites that aren't well optimized and they still get found.  Unfortunately for the rest of us, that isn't an option. This is especially a problem for gorgeous sites that are all flash and only have one page for Google or Bing to index, but many new websites don't optimize page titles or URLs--key places for telling search engines what your pages are about.

2- Your website only displays the news about the cool stuff your company has done. Ummmm... that's nice, but if I'm a prospect, I don't care about how cool you think you are--I care about how you're going to solve my problems.  If your website only has navigation about who you are & what you do and a news feed, it sucks.

3- Your website is so slick and cool that people have no idea where to click. It's no secret that people have short attention spans when they surf the web, so making your page so "cool" that you've hidden all obvious navigation is a really good way to increase your bounce rate.  If you only have two buttons, they had better be the best two buttons and serve your prospects' needs exactly, or they're not going to engage.  Even better, though, would be to give your prospects enough options that you can address their varying needs, depending on where they are in the research or buying process.

4-Your website automatically plays sound. Maybe you have an auto-playing video or some funky background music, but it plays instantly. From a pet peeve perspective, this should really be #1, but it's less of a marketing problem and more of an annoyance.  Your prospects probably don't suddenly want a blasting presentation to come out of their computer speakers while they're sitting in quiet cube farms.  They'll quickly close the browser tab rather than becoming engaged, filling out lead forms, and eventually buying your product or service.

If you want to "unsuckify" your website, make sure it has the following:
  • Enough well-optimized pages that people can find you How you're going to solve your prospects' problems
  • Clear navigation & calls-to-action
  • And for the love of everything, no automatically playing noise or video!

Taking these actions will go a very long way towards making sure your prospects stay on your site, interact with your company, and become customers!
