    Implementing a mobile marketing plan into your current marketing strategy really isn’t all that difficult and it’s actually less expensive than you think.

    Posted by Lisa Kirschner

    Jan 19, 2012 3:00:00 AM

    Finding work/life balance in today’s busy and highly competitive world could never be described as easy.  For most perfectionists, however, it is downright impossible. I see this play out every day when I'm working with busy web and marketing managers who have huge To Do lists and virtually no personal lives.

    As 2011 comes to a close, we at Flair are getting slammed with frantic calls from potential clients who want to know why they've seen a decrease in traffic to their site during the last few months. While Google's Panda update (a change to their algorithm earlier this year) may not be the cause of all traffic changes, it's certainly had a huge impact on many sites and businesses this year.

    EXCERPT: Customizing SharePoint: Start with the Solution or the Business Problem?

    Before you begin adding customization tools to SharePoint to create a solution for your business, you must understand your company’s business problem. In this article, I cover a few important areas you need to address before you look at technology...

    Hear, hear! I couldn't have said it better myself!

    In this CMS Wire article, author Jennifer Mason is really just providing a gentle reminder that "You have to know where you're going in order to figure out how you're going to get there" or "Don't put the cart before the horse."

    This is a problem that I see businesses struggling with all the time. I've had dozens and dozens of conversations with clients who really want to select a technology language or tool before they've really determined what they're trying to do.

    Study this article carefully if you're planning to customize SharePoint or any CMS. You'll save yourself lots of time and frustration, and your end result will be better because you've taken the time to think through your business goals carefully.
