Logo and Graphic, What Is the Difference?

As a business owner, you have probably heard the terms “logo” and “graphic”.  Both are important parts of a business – and you may be left wondering what the differences are between the two.

According to dictionary.com, a logo is a “graphic representation or symbol of a company name, trademark, abbreviation, etc., often uniquely designed for ready recognition.”

The same source refers to a graphic as a “a product of the graphic arts, as a drawing or print.”

There is many ways in creating a successful website.  You have to set up your content management system if you’re using one, come up with an attractive layout, have graphics done, and fill it with content.

If it’s an ecommerce site, you’ll need to set up a shopping cart and add pictures and product descriptions.  Once that’s all done, you’re ready to get visitors coming in.

Many a novice webmaster forgets about marketing his website, or simply pushes it to the side due to budget concerns.

But this is a very important step, because visitors are not likely to stumble onto your site by accident.  And even if they did, there’s no guarantee that they would be interested in what you have to offer.

Search engine optimization can help you get listed in Google and the others, but you also need to get links coming in from other websites if you want visitors. Read the rest of this entry »

Is There Such a Thing as Frugal Marketing?

Marketing is an important part of any business.  It’s how we get the word out about our products and services to prospective customers and clients.

If we want our businesses to be successful, marketing is not something we can skimp on. Large companies spend millions of dollars on marketing each year to maintain their brands’ market share.

But for most small businesses, there aren’t millions of dollars in the entire budget, let alone available for marketing.  Large-scale advertising campaigns are not an option.

Some small businesses commit a large portion of their budgets to marketing.  They produce elaborate ads and reserve premium ad space, have all sorts of fancy promotional items made, and sponsor lavish events. Read the rest of this entry »
