Savvy Panda co-hosted the first Joomla Day Midwest! on Saturday. With speakers joining us from across the world, the day offered valuable information on Joomla!, great entertainment and plenty of networking. The event kicked off early at Potowatomi Bingo & Casino in Milwaukee and wrapped up at the Distil after-party late Saturday night. Savvy Panda could not have pulled off such an amazing event without our co-host Anything Digital, the sponsors, speakers and of course, the attendees.
Savvy Panda is excited to announce they will host the first annual Joomla Day Midwest at Milwaukee’s Potawatomi Bingo & Casino. Join us on November 12th for unmatched networking and learning opportunities. With four different tracks, your Joomla organization will go home with advanced knowledge for all aspects of your online presence.
Savvy Group employee, Perry Wirth, gave a presentation on email marketing to the local Joomla! Milwaukee user group.
This presentation covers common mistakes, tips, Joomla! components and other 3rd party services which can be used to expand your marketing diversity.
There are tons of options on the web to facilitate your email marketing strategies. Since there is a great quantity, I have not done a compare and contrast. This presentation rather tells you what you should look for when picking out your program or service. It is split into 3 categories: general planning (what to look for), must have features and bonus features.
Every great website has goals, which can come in many flavors. They can be basic like joining a newsletter or contacting you for more information or they can be complex like achieving a 50% add-on rate for product X or convincing someone why your services will perform better than your competitors. Your site needs to have direction to lead users to these goals and a call to action is great way to provide this direction for your users.
The latest user trends are dictating websites to provide more functionality, content, images, and advertisements. As you add these additional features this can add overhead that slows a website down negatively affecting your site in multiple ways. People do not want to spend time waiting for websites to load and below we are going to show you how much of an impact this really can have.
Every good website has a clear set of goals. It may be to create leads, sell products, spread information, collect data or other tasks but in the end it has goals you expect it achieve. So how is your website living up to its goals? How many leads is it generating? How many products did it sell? How many people did it teach your initiative?
Many years ago companies were able to make it to the top of search engines by simply adding in keywords into the metadata of their websites and unfortunately many companies still think that’s what it takes. But although this practice still continues today, the effectiveness of this single SEO act is useless. This begs the question, “How can I get my website to the top of google?"
Imagine a day when an entire website can be managed by someone with nearly no computer skills, 60% of the work in updating a website is automated, and small businesses can have a website on par with the majority of corporate America. Can you imagine this? It should not be hard because that day is today.
With today's fast pace culture, technology advances, and economic changes the 2009 retail industry is on a constant up and down beat. Many retailers are struggling to stay on top of the public demands and keep high sales numbers. For many of retailers it is simply because they are not up to date with current retail standards and therefore are not ready to compete in todays market place.
