The Blog from the Dog

It’s been awhile since anything was posted on here. I bet you thought we forgot. We didn’t, really!

We just finished up with a sign rush for the Kittitas County Fair and Ellensburg Rodeo. Whew! What a week!

Here’s a highlight of just what we accomplished:

• Magnets for the Rodeo Chutes
• The Liberty Farm & Lawn Gator

On the CopyDog side of things, we just finished up all of the high school handbooks. These are the planners that are given out to every high school student each year. Thanks to Sam and Pat, we did it with a relatively quick turnaround.

We all had a great Labor Day weekend, and hope you did as well.

Stop by to get your sign and copy needs taken care of. Of course you can also stop by for any design or website needs as well. 509-925-SIGN (7446)

I don’t know how many times I have entered a store to grab a quick item. On my way out, I notice a sign that says “Ask us about…”. I pause…and think, “wait, you offer that as a service? All you have is the little sign to show it off.”

Well, we’re guilty of the “little sign” as well.

Many of you know most of the services we offer. We offer signs, graphic design and web hosting. You know this. You are also probably familiar that CopyDog (right next door) offers all of your printing, binding and paper needs.

Here’s where I may surprise some of you…

Since I (Brandon aka “Web Yoda”)arrived here, we have been able to expand the offerings we have to web clients.

• Are you looking for a refresh of your site? We do that!
• Do you want to get your site found in the search engines? We do that!
• Are you able to fix my site without moving my site files to your server? Yes, indeed. We’ve done it many times.
• Do you need help with your online marketing? Do you even have online marketing? Get in here and let’s start getting you more money.

There’s so much that we are now able to offer. We’re excited to be able to offer you everything you need. From paper copies to signs to web development, we can offer you a one-stop shop to get your business where you want it.

So, where’s our little sign to show all this? Well, it’s in the works. We are, after all, a sign company.

A hard lesson to learn in life is that you (our customer) won’t ask us to serve your needs unless we advertise that we can meet those needs. Keep an eye out for our new Web marketing. Soon to come to you.

Call us (925-7446) or email us if we can help you in any way. We look forward to hearing from YOU!

It seems that AdWords are becoming more popular in jargon that is tossed around between business owners. But, what exactly are AdWords? How do you pay?

AdWords is Google’s pay-per-click (PPC) marketing answer. What does this mean? Well, the ads you create in Google’s AdWords appear in relavent searches (the keywords you bid on) and the content ads you decided on (if you chose any). If your potential customer clicks on your ad, you pay a specific bid amount for that click. We better get them to do something on your website!

You want to advertise elsewhere?…diversify! Each of the “Big 3″ search engines has their own advertising section where you can user PPC on selected keywords. Think of this as AdWords, only in Yahoo! and Bing. (previously known as MSN/Live).

AdWords is a TM of Google, much like Kleenex is the TM for facial tissues.

Need help with your AdWords account? Want to setup your AdWords account? Do you want advertising elsewhere, other than Google’s AdWords?

Give us a call (925-7446) or shoot us an email and we’ll be happy to help. Where else can you get free consultation about your business plan?
