The Communication Pyramid
Communication is easily one of the most important attributes of any manager. Done correctly it can motivate and empower staff, make working processes and workplace activity more effective and create a truly transparent and enjoyable working culture. Done badly, and the entire thing can fall apart. Rumours begin, things are assumed and everyone becomes VERY de-motivated. You only have to go into a company with a de-motivated workforce and it’s almost guaranteed that you will hear the phrase "No one tells us anything round here..." bandied abo

Don't Think of Consumers as Targets
“Target marketing” may be a suitable term for marketers to use among themselves, but consumer groups should never be thought of merely as “targets,” as the ultimate focus of this campaign or that marketing effort. Consumers are people. Living, breathing, emotional people. You’ll be wiser to identify and target the most significant common emotions of the group – their “hot buttons” – than to target consumers as a group.Splitting hairs? Not really. One of the most effective ways to succeed at target marketing is to first develop a sing

Let's talk color, is all that bright color really what our visitors want to see? Some colors are way too bright and can be sensitive to peoples' eyes. If you need to have color make them more down to earth colors not something that is going to make your visitors want to run from your site. Not having any color is also good . Color is optional, just choose it wisely.
Animated graphics, who is guilty of those? I know I am, and it's understandable as they are cute and neat to look at. Or are they? Too many things flashing on your site is not appealing. Also, too many graphics will draw the attention away from what is really important - and that is your text. Your text is your message to your visitors. If you insist on having them on your site then I suggest just having maybe one. Make sure your visitor focuses more on your text, not the graphics.
Another point to keep in mind is “keyword rich text”. You want to mention your keywords throughout your website. Every chance you get mention your keywords. Work them into your sentences. When writing articles make sure you add some of your keywords to your article title. This also helps your website get noticed by the SE (search engines).
I write this article because I want everyone to learn from my mistakes. I am guilty of all of the above. It took a new computer to realize how loud my color was (old computer color looked dull) . After realizing how bright it was I panicked. It was like a slap in the face because I thought what an awful color and if I thought that of my own site what were my visitors thinking? I asked the advice of a good friend and thank god this friend is open and honest in her opinions. She helped me to take a step back and really look at my site. My only thoughts were, “What have I been thinking?”
I don’t even remember when
