Page 1: Western Echos Newsletter Vol 4 Summer Edition

There have never been better

tools available to small business

owners for getting their business

message out. In the past all you

really had was a business card

and a yellow pages ad, short of

an expensive advertising effort

like radio or TV.

Now you have Twitter, Face-

book, YouTube, Linkedin,

Craigslist & inexpensive web-

sites. Those new free social me-

dia tools can be combined with

ever more cost effective means

such as reflective logos & wraps

on company vehicles, high qual-

ity, breathable uniforms & embroi-

dered garments. All of these

tools allow you to create a full

onslaught of imaging and mes-

sage push without draining your

cashflow.

The social media tools are so

much easier to make use of now

that there are such great mobile

devices available that allow you

to put your content up at differ-

ent free moments in your day.

Now you can put a quick mes-

sage and picture on Twitter

while waiting for your kids at the

pool. You can take a quick

video of your crew working on a

particularly good work day &

post it to YouTube for anyone to

stumble on & see how great

your team and company are.

Imagine how much better that

video would look if the crew was

clean, well groomed & wearing

well branded uniform shirts,

reinforcing your branding. Con-

sider the power of your client’s

well manicured yard drawing a

neighbor in, while your team is

in the back, & that neighbor

being able to see your com-

pany name, number, website

etc on the truck on the street.

If your business is a smaller

one, do not act small in your

branding & imagery. Be

large in presence. Be known,

be seen, be easier to find, be

easy to know. It does not

need to cost a lot, but it can

pay a ton!

tools or to keep tabs on our products,
