DigitalMarketer it’s just smarter Google Strikes Back With One Day Shipping? Posted on December 2, 2011 It seems like a real world puts on the ground–type adventure for such an online–centric company. But it would appear that Google is eyeing the shipping business. According to the Wall Street Journal, Google is reportedly talking to the Macy’s, OfficeMax, and the Gap about a new plan to offer a 24–hour shipping. Apparently, Google would oversee the 1–day shipping action coordinating with the retailer’s dark room to ensure that the delivery action is possible with the given product. You have to wonder though, is Google really going to turn a profit as a modern day poly express? There’s a better than average chance that Google is working on this feature for this specific purpose of competing with Amazon, the new AmazonPrime feature in particular. For $79 a year, Amazon users can enjoy a 2–day shipping in addition to a bunch of other perks. With its 1 day shipping scheme, Google seems to be treating Amazon less like a partner and more like a rival. It’s important to note that Macy’s, OfficeMax, and The Gap already accept Google wallet payments. They’re in the inner circle. If the 1 day shipping feature gets the green light, you’ll probably see a lot more if easy place on the product list feature. Would that be enough to rival Amazon? No, not anytime soon anyway. If you haven’t spent any time on product search, we suggest you take it for a test drive. Search for your products. Search for your competitors products. You may be surprised of what you find.

DigitalMarketer It’s just smarter Tablets Are the (Near) Future of Publishing Posted on December 1, 2011 Have you retooled for the tabletification of publishing? It seems safe to say that 2011 was the year of the tablet. The only thing is we don’t see this trend slowing down any time soon. The Kindle Fire is flying out of amazon’s mammoth distribution centers, iPad2 sales are strong as ever, and eBook sales are forecast to reach $10 billion by 2016. The kindle bookstore has nearly 1 million titles right now. Do you think that those are all literary classics? Heck no! These titles run the gamut in terms of topics, word counts, etc. In other words, eBooks aren’t necessarily “books” the way we traditionally think of them. They can be travel brochures, gift guides, pamphlets, etc. Publishing is no longer a tedious and lofty practice dominated by bookworms in university professors. Tools like createspace and pressbooks make it easy to publish a Kindle–friendly eBook in just a few clicks. Unlike the physical books that most people avoid like the “Plague”, eBooks don’t have the same stigma. Here are just a few ideas to help your publishing tablet friendly: First, load it up with graphics. Shoot for 15 to 20 images for every 1000 words. Remember, there’s no formula for eBooks. They can be super short. Bookify your content whatever it is. And remember, interactivity isn’t necessary for eBook success.

DigitalMarketer It’s just smarter 3 Reasons to Mobilize Your Site now Posted on November 29, 2011 Chances are, you’ve been meaning to relaunch a more mobile–friendly version of your site for quite a while now. Well, we’ve pulled together three super compelling reasons to mobilize your content. One of them, ironically enough, actually has to do with a very popular tablet device with an even hotter name. 1) At least 33% of smartphone users have made a purchase on their device. By the end of the holiday season, this number will be much higher. 2) Mobile traffic is projected to make up 7% of all US commerce by 2016, according to this awesome infographic from Mashable. That’s a cool $31, 000, 000, 000 folks. Not only that, but tablet users convert 33 to 66% better than those who visit on a PC. 3) Smartphone and tablet sales are only gaining momentum. Smartphones now make up 59% of all US handset sales, up 13% from last year. By early 2012, 58 million Americans will own a tablet device. Most of these will be iPads, although the Kindle Fire has been the best selling product on Amazon for over 8 weeks.

Getting From Likes to Leads with Facebook.
Posted on November 15, 2011.
There's a great post on hubspot right now about how businesses can use their facebook page to generate leads. That is the ultimate goal of a business in facebook after all, right? The most important thing that this post highlights is focus i.e. focusing your social media campaigns and not just facebook around the all important code of action. For example, when we go to our facebook page to promote this post, we’ll make sure and tell our fans what it is we want them to do, something like “like us” or “tell us what you think about using facebook to get leads.” After all, your business’s social media efforts should all be working to build more relationships, engage more fans, and help you make more money. The main thing to remember is EVERYTHING YOU PUT ON FACEBOOK SHOULD WORK TO GRAB MORE FANS. Do this with great information and great offers. Don’t appear old baric by using too many automatic feed updates. Lab members we have an awesome facebook contest video in our raw to any sections. This video walks you through exactly how to set up a facebook contest that not only brings you leads but does so while staying within facebook’s guidelines.
