Lately, you may have noticed multi-product ads on Facebook. They feature multiple images, each with its own linkable URL. Apparently they are seeing higher than normal results for less than normal cost. And they look pretty good too! If you’re a small business owner, you should really pay attention. Facebook multi-product ads seems especially […]
We all know that images are a great way to catch people’s eye. And it can be tempting to do a Google search to find the perfect image to match your words. After all, it’s quick, easy, and the pictures that you see in the Google results look so amazingly wonderful that you just can’t wait […]

I love toast with butter and honey. I love it for breakfast and as a late night snack. As a result, I go through a lot of honey. Today at lunch (yes, I sometimes also have toast with butter and honey for lunch), I looked at the jar and realised that it was almost empty. […]

When I first talk with small business owners about their marketing needs, one topic that always comes up is that of time management. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to run a business and also send out Facebook posts, Tweets, and Google+ updates. There are a lot of amazing tools […]
