A steel building may be designed in such a way so to more easily adapt to the type of floor plan you need. The steel buildings of today are state-of-the-art and feature clear span frames that need no support columns. This type of frame can create an obstacle-free interior environment of up to 300 feet. Having such efficiency in floor-planning (i.e., not having to plan around irremovable walls or columns)can mean better efficiency in the overall operations of your company. Greater work efficiency will, therefore, save your business money.Doing your business in a steel building will lower your maintenance costs. For instance, steel buildings are more resistant to the damage caused by termites, water, mildew, and mold. Furthermore, steel may be built to endure the particular weather conditions of your area (e.g., heavy snow loads, high winds, flooding,, and even seismic activity). A steel building is highly fire resistant,-thus giving extra protection for your merchandise, personnel, and equipment and (possibly a significant discount on your insurance costs).Any professional steel building manufacturer or supplier may give to you detailed information about what your options are prior to any purchase of the building. Don’t gamble with your money. Choose a solid building built to last. Choose a steel building for your business and you will not regret the decision. Because of these money-saving benefits at work, steel is becoming more and more popular for all types of businesses. Selecting steel to put together your business’s new building (or using an existing building made with steel) is the wisest choice–no matter what type of business you do.Anyone trying to do ‘smart business’ knows how important their location is for their long-term success! Yet, acquiring the desired location is just the beginning. Having an affordable place to do business is the next step. A steel building will help save your company money with low-cost construction and low-cost maintenance over the life of the building. Pre-fab steel buildings are all pre-drilled, pre-welded, and pre-punched at the warehouse before shipment to the work site. After being delivered, the only step left is putting the building together. It is usually done rapidly and needs little professional construction experience. Pre-engineered steel buildings are relatively easy to erect as they simply bolt together. Some smaller structures could actually need no professional service whatsoever.

Many people know The Blues Brothers movie.  It’s definitely one of my favourites and my 11 year-old son’s too.  He loves the music as well as the car chases.  Did you know it’s one of the Top 10 grossing music movies?

Anyway, what have two fugitive, poverty-stricken, unkempt musicians got to do with smart business owners?

Good question and the answer may surprise you.

Before I get to that though, for those who haven’t seen or have forgotten the movie, I’ll quickly re-cap the plot.

The two brothers, Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) and Jake (John Belushi), were raised in a church boy’s home before going on to become blues musicians in Chicago.  One of them is released from jail and the brothers go to see the nun who had raised them because they’d promised to see her when he got out.

They discover that the school is about to be closed because it owes thousands of dollars in city taxes.  Hmm, don’t we all love those taxes huh?

Jake and Elwood decide to raise money to pay the taxes so that other boys can have a home and basic education just like they did.  The problem was, how?

They had no jobs.  No assets.  And they had no money of their own.

Someone suggested they go to see a gospel singer, played by James Brown, to get some inspiration. It’s a great scene in the movie plus some fab music too.  A big gospel choir backing JB with Chaka Khan in the choir too.

As the choir and band are in full throttle, a light shines through the church window onto Jake with “hallelujah” resonating around him.

Then he said. “The Band.  The Band.  I’ve seen the light. Let’s get the band back together.”

And that’s what happens to some business owners.

No, they don’t form a blues band but they do see the light….. about their marketing.  Specifically, they understand the need to use the Internet for their marketing because it’s where customers turn for information about local products and services.

Being smart, they look at their own behaviour when they are looking to buy a new product or service. What do they do?

* They turn to Google first to research the potential products and suppliers.

* Then the probably look at a video about the product on YouTube.

* Maybe read a review or two.

* Look at some articles or case studies to get some background so they are better informed when they speak to the sales people.

* Perhaps see what people on Twitter,  LinkedIn or other social media sites are saying about it.

Plus they know the Yellow Pages ads, newspapers and flyers aren’t working anymore. So why not use the same tools for their own businesses?

Now most of those that “get it” don’t need or want to know the ins and outs of Internet marketing. They don’t feel inadequate because they don’t understand the technicalities.  After all, they are experts at what they do, not Internet marketing.  They just know it’s the right thing to do because it’s the best way to safeguard the future success of their business they’ve worked so hard to grow and nurture.

So my question to you?

Have you seen the light?

Are your own actions unique or are they typical of over 70% of the buyers when you want to finding local goods and services?

If you know that the Internet is the way of, not just the future but the here and now, then you might be open to some new ways to market your business.  You might want to try it before your competitors see the light.

First Facebook was a place for college kids to exchange photos and updates. Then suburban soccer moms and corporate workers got in on the fun. Now, Facebook has become the medium of choice for business owners and marketers to reach a hungry audience.

We all know that Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and LinkedIn are great places to make business contacts, but how exactly are smart business owners using Facebook to grow their bottom line?

Just recently, the only way to monetize Facebook was to bombard your friends with status updates related to your business or self promotion. Friends were busy posting updates about kids events, inside jokes, announcements about reunions, and what they ate for dinner, and marketers were harassing them with info about their business or lifestyle.

I was guilty too, most of my updates had something to do with how great my free lifestyle is and why those cubicle workers should look at what I’m doing. Now that I’ve stopped doing that – I’ve had time to reflect. Isn’t that kinda like the friends and family approach that MLM uses? I’m supposed to be a professional internet marketer for goodness sakes – attract people to me that are actually searching for what I have to offer. Why did I feel so guilty about posting ‘lifestyle’ status updates?

Because there was no other way to use Facebook to grow your business…up until now.

With the growth of Facebook fan pages, business owners and internet marketers finally have a platform on Facebook to reach a targeted audience, without all the annoying ‘business-like’ status updates.

The Facebook fan page can look very similar to your personal Facebook profile page, or you can choose to have it look more like a ‘real’ website – but within the Facebook interface. On a standard Fanpage, you can basically post pictures and text info about your business.

On the other hand, there are several ‘Fanpage builders’ out there on the market that will allow you to design your Fanpage to have more functionality. You can upload banners, graphics, videos, and even an opt-in form to capture visitors name, email and phone number.

You can invite friends to see your new Facebook business fan page by posting updates and links to it in your personal profile wall. But that is kinda like what you were doing using the old-school techniques and perhaps bothering and turning off friends who really don’t want to see that stuff.

Smart business owners are using Facebooks pay-per-click advertising platform and driving those clicks to their new business fan page. The pay-per-click advertising platform is extremely user friendly, allows laser-focused demographic targeting, and is scalable. Imagine your Fanpage is marketing a organic dog food, and only having your PPC ad show up on Facebook profiles of people that dogs or the word organic listed in their profile.

Driving relevant traffic to your new Facebook fan page is the key to monetizing this new platform – it will provide a professional look to your business, and give you massive exposure on the world’s 2nd most visited website.

Definition: anticipatory

anticipating; of or expressing anticipation

To deal with beforehand; act so as to mitigate, nullify, or prevent: the business owner anticipated the importance of inbound links by writing lots of quality content.

If you aren’t practicing anticipatory marketing, you’re working with a head-in-the-sand mentality that sharp competition will definitely exploit.

Thinking about and preparing for your next move in advance is smart business.

For example, advertising is a very important aspect of business. After all, people can’t buy your products if they don’t know about them.

But what if you have little to no money to buy advertising?

What do you do then?

What’s your next move?

If you’re like most marketers, you don’t have a clue.

Unfortunately, this scenario plays out all too often in the business world, and it can be fatal. In fact, it often is.

Successful marketers not only have a plan “A,” they also have a plan B, C and D. That’s what makes them successful. They have a plan for every scenario.

They think about and anticipate potential problems before they occur. That’s the essence of anticipatory marketing.

Let me give you an example of what I’m talking about using a true story:

In 2006, a client of mine started a virtual assistant (VA) business. Like most small business owners she had very little money to do any advertising, so she asked me what to do.

I told her to contact the local newspapers and tv stations, tell them about her new business and request an interview.

I also told her to join her local Chamber of Commerce, and start networking. I told her that if those two ideas didn’t pan out I had a few more ideas she could try.

In other words, I gave her a plan and was ready with a back up plan.

Anyway, to make a long story short my client was indeed interviewed by one of the local newspapers, which immediately resulted in a flood of new clients.

And she also gets a steady stream of business from her local Chamber of Commerce.

Eventually, because of the quality of her work, word of mouth advertising took over and she hasn’t had to spend a dime on conventional advertising.

In fact, she’s doing so well she’s having a hard time keeping up with all the work she’s getting and is considering hiring someone to handle the overflow.

That’s the power of anticipating problems beforehand, and formulating a plan to solve those problems.
