4 Benefits of a Yelp Ad for your Business Include:
1. More Visibility on Yelp search result pages
Advertising on Yelp gives a business the opportunity to show up above the regular search results for category/city combinations.
2. Visibility on other business profile pages
Your Yelp ad may show up on a competitor’s business profile at the top of the page.
3. No competitor ads on your profile page
Competitors’ ads will not show up on the profile page of your company. You are essentially paying to keep competitors from advertising on your profile page. But note that Yelp still does show other competitors on the page under a “People Who Viewed This Also Viewed” heading.
4. Additional content options
Yelp advertisers can also add extra content to their business profiles, such as a photo slideshow and a video.

Marketing Tips: Importance of a Clever Subject line & High Open Rates
Great subject lines = higher email open rates!
Are you considering creating an email campaign? Are you prepared for it to fail? How much does the success of your business depend on your online promotions? Open rates in the past five years have decreased industry wide due to image blocking, increased use of smart phones and list fatigue. At GANZ Media email campaigns for our clients consistently exceed industry averages, resulting in thousand of dollars in additional revenue.
Would you hire a plumber to do your root canal? Your best bet it to have a professional marketer help you with your online marketing.
Times are tough, and money is tight. Some companies think they are being frugal by having an untrained staffer run their email campaigns instead of using Marketing professionals. See this related article: 11 Reasons a 23-Year-Old Shouldn’t Run Your Social Media.
Without training and experience, finding the right subject line is next to impossible. Even with the best content, If your subject line doesn’t resonate well with your target audience, all your hard work is going into the spam box. Cutting corners for your online marketing can prove disastrous.
When creating a subject line for an email campaign here are a few items to consider:
1) Demographics: Who is your target market? Generalize subject lines appealing to everyone will result in large numbers of unsubscribes and low open rates.
2) Cleverness: Is your subject line too serious? Does it immediately compel one to read your email? Humor can be very useful to capture attention in the current short attention span era.
3) Pose a question: Asking a question that helps solve problems your prospects/customers may be experiencing.
4) Limit the use of discounts: Everyone wants a deal, but used too frequently, this can alienate your subscribers. Be a thought leader and have the majority of your emails focus on content/articles they might like to read.

3 Reasons Facebook is Too Big to Fail
Facebook stock is down, but the future is looking up.
Let’s face it, the Facebook IPO was drastically overvalued. Overly optimistic traders, corporate greed, a shift in members viewing Facebook on smart phones vs. PC’s (resulting in fewer advertising opportunities) are among the many reasons for a lower than expected IPO and corresponding current stock price. And while its revenues represent only 1% of the world’s $507 billion in total ad spending, the growth opportunities for Facebook are limitless.
It is not uncommon for a stock price to dip significantly after its IPO. Companies such as LinkedIn and Angie’s List experienced similar plunges. LinkedIn’s share price was $94.25 in their first day of trade after their IPO, yet plunged to $63.71 a month later. It currently trades at $105 a share. Angie’s List Inc., the consumer-reviews site, had a first-day close after the IPO value of $16.26, up 25 percent from IPO price. It dipped to $11.56 within the first month. Four months later the price was $18.89.
There are many examples of tech stocks which have performed well after initially dipping in price. Google is currently trading at $675, compared to $84 since its 2004 IPO. Apple stock prices were at $22 dollars for its IPO back in December of 1980 – and increased 1700% within one year – and as of today are trading at a whopping $665 per share (over a 4000% increase). What is most important to recognize is not the short term expectations, but the long-term growth potential of this technology platform. There are three reasons Facebook is too big to fail:
1) Lifestyle Facebook is not just a software application, it is a way of life.
Individuals can find lost family members, old classmates, share pictures and events with friends and family, and chat live with other members. According to Mashable.com, the average person spends 5 hours and 46 minutes per month on Facebook, up from 4 hours and 39 minutes back in June of 2009. This is more than Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Microsoft, Amazon and Wikipedia combined!
2) Advertising Machine Facebook relies on Ads to drive revenues.
While there has been a shift in members viewing patterns on Facebook from personal computers to mobile phones (which have fewer ad opportunities due to a smaller screen), Facebook has barely scratched the surface of reaching out to other companies to partner with. Companies with large networks of people have the ability to exponentially grow the views and ad opportunities. The same untapped potential is true of 3rd party software applications that allow Facebook users to share content with online friends, and login with their existing Facebook logins.
3) Demographics Collection and Meta Data build value.
The most significant accomplishment of Facebook is the statistical data they have compiled. Users fill out their age, physical location, interests, simply by signing up. Pages users view, topics they frequent, companies they visit, all are collected which allows Facebook to search for patterns that their advertising department can capitalize on. But even more than that, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon have all have teamed up to share demographics (meta-data) from one site to another. While in many cases the personal information or identity of a specific person cannot be revealed, those seeking to advertise now have a larger reach, and the most precise statistics ever available. As the number of technology partnerships increase, the value and advertising opportunities increase.
Like any other tool, technology can be used to build or to harm. Other Social Medial platforms such as MySpace have gone by the wayside. This is not because they weren’t useful, but because their technology did not keep up with the changing needs and demands of their users. Facebook understands their users. They “get it”. Improvement of existing features, incorporating new features such as Timeline which allow users to display more content (and allow for more advertising opportunities), a large R&D budget, and an untapped world market guarantee a long and profitable future.
