Elyk Starts a Bonfire!
2007
SBLY award
Years ago if you did not have a logo business card you were not considered to be a real business. Now, in order to have a credible business, you must have a user friendly website. Developing a website with an effective Internet Marketing strategy is a key component for you to attract and retain customers.
Staking your claim on your virtual real estate is the first step; however, understanding and making the web work for you is another. This is why Beaver Street Enterprise Center has teamed up with SBRN (Small Business Resource Network) and they have recommended the top Internet Marketing experts here in Jacksonville.

What is a Podcast?
I had a couple of meetings the other day with potential clients producing a podcast. They asked me to explain what is a podcast? Technically speaking it's an audio file located on a website. It's appearance is a link that can be either listened to instantly via a stream or download to your computer or mp3 player for later playback.
So, what is the non technical description? A podcast is very similar to a radio show on the web that helps the listener gain information about the topic they are interested in. The most successful podcasts are those that help solve problems or challenges pertaining to the topic the listener is engaged in. For example, someone starting a new business and looking for financing might enjoy The Small Business Beat Podcast which is a show that offers up-to-date management advice, training and information to help business owners make sound decisions and to assist potential owners in getting started on the right foot. Another example might be a parent researching information in caring for their child. Pediacast is a podcast that offers advice and information for their child's health. Podcasts can offer advice from experts, solutions to your needs, and challenges to your everyday personal, family and business life.
Podcasts offer businesses an opportunity to greater server their customers. When a company is seen as a resource, they rise above the competition. This creates awareness about who your company is and what you're really about. A podcast delivers this information by way of the human voice thus connecting the audience on a personal level. When you connect, solve and provide solutions to other people's problems and needs you empower them to buy a product, a service or more importantly an idea. Remember, people love to buy, but they don't want to be sold anything. A podcast can help you deliver the right message to your audience or customer.

It is no secret that part of our success has been our involvement with the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce. In the 3 years we have been members, our revenue has increased an average of 30 % each year…and most of our business comes from contacts or referrals from other Chamber members. If you receive this enews and are not currently a member, I encourage you to call me today and I can connect you with a chamber account manager.

In February we launched our latest product called Bonfire. Bonfire is an easy-to-use tool that lets you track the status of ongoing projects on a wide range of dimensions from any internet connection. When you login you will instantly see which projects are on schedule and which are behind. You can monitor all related "Todos" and filter by project, employees or status.
Any business that has more than 1 client can use Bonfire.
Many web based project management solutions force users to adopt new, unfamiliar processes that cause users more work. Bonfire is designed as a fast, easy to use solution to enhance and improve any processes that you already have. Team productivity will skyrocket in a collaborative environment that is customized to your unique work process.
It doesn’t matter if you a have formal process in place, or you're starting for the first time, Bonfire can provide you and your team with the tools you need to complete projects on time and under budget.
Why Bonfire???
