Fax digitally, save resources

by Nattana Johnson, owner, MGC

How many faxes do you get that you end up putting straight into the recycle bin? Half? I bet many, and wouldn’t it be nice to have that information at your fingertips, ready to grab when sitting at your computer, rather than sorting through the cluttter on your desk to locate it.

Digital fax services will not only save paper, but can be more convenient and less expensive, as well.

My husband is a realtor who works from home and sends and receives very large documents via the fax. When using the digital fax, he not only saved paper and ink, but it was easier to manage the many versions of contracts by filing them on his computer. And as long as you back up your data on your computer, you have a good clean record that is easily forwarded, printed, re-faxed etc…at the click of your keyboard. No more hassles with sorting through file boxes from years ago that might be stored in a dark, dingy basement.

Don’t wait, it just makes sense. Sign up and make it your Earth Day commitment – save money, save resources and get organized.

Creating your online community

While online marketing is not new, there are many new tools – and knowing which tool to use at what time and for what audience could save you endless resources. Hiring a social networking consultant will save you lots of trial and error and help you create a plan that makes sense for your business.

  • Community Development. Starting with research of what works and what doesn’t work, we’ll assist you with overall plan, content organization, moderation, security, permissions, and all the aspects involved in building a new online community. We can then help tie that into your current brand identity, website or traditional marketing materials.
  • Community Launch. We can assist with initial content development, as well as teach you to create appropriate, valuable content for your audience. Then we launch your community and promote it, both digitally and in conjunction with your traditional media outlets.
  • Management. You want your community to stay vibrant and active over time. It is important to encourage and manage user participation so you get the most value out of your online community. The majority of your content should come from users. You will develop the topics and post content to generate a discussion, but the real content is developed by your audience.
  • Consulting. Ongoing strategic planning and consulting is needed to further develop your community participation. A good consultant will lead your team through every step of the marketing strategy and development process.
