RevLocal Small Business Marketing

What is the best way to perform Internet marketing for your business? Do you have the understanding to bring in local business using local search engine optimization? If you are a small business, do you hire a marketing expert to work solely for you or do you save yourself money and contract the job out to a company very experienced in small business marketing?  When people Google your company (or use Bing or Yelp), where do you come up on the search engine page?  Is your business on page one or page ten? Will people looking on these search engines see you on page one and click on your link or not find you on ten and give their business to somebody else? How do you elevate local listings for your business? 

RevLocal has been in business since 1994 and can provide you with a dedicated marketing agent to grow your business on the constantly evolving Internet with a focus on local SEO (local search marketing). There are many RevLocal locations across the United States. They provide many different things with the intent of helping you grow your business:  paid search marketing with search engine optimization and social media management, website development, content creation, and graphic design.

I have been a blogger for several years and have seen firsthand the benefits of using Internet marketing to grow your presence on the World Wide Web.  It can make a difference between success or failure and in today's economical climate, it pays to market yourself online as efficiently as possible.

Ex's!

I can not wait until this summer. The legal ties to my husband's ex will be cut forever when my SS turns 18. We will still have to put up with her occasionally at mutual events but we won't have to deal with her where the kids are concerned.

For my stepson's graduation this year, the ex won't even give dad one of the eight tickets the family is given so he can attend his own son's graduation.  Such a nice person!

PeachSuite Hotel Supply Online

I have a friend in hotel management in Atlanta. I could not imagine the task of managing all the needs of a hotel like she does.  It's hard enough for me to manage my family of six, let alone staff along with rooms and rooms of customers and their varied needs. She says it helps if a lot of your needs can be met at one place at a Hotel Supply Online. She found PeachSuite looking locally for Atlanta hotel supply but PeachSuite ships anywhere within the United States and Canada.

PeachSuite offers most everything you need, such as supplies for: banquet room, catering, dining, equipment, furniture, janitorial, office, signs, kitchen, appliances, linens, disposable items, hotel bar supplies and more. The selection of knives was outstanding - - and kept me busy for awhile checking them out. They also free shipping on orders over $500. What a great deal in savings for shipping!

If you need supplies and equipment for your hotel, resort, or restaurant, take advantage of their free shipping on orders over $500 and stock up for the upcoming tourist season.  Vacations are being scheduled by families now. Get ready for the warm months coming our way!

My Life Today

It's been a whole year since I posted here. That is so bad of me.

Life has been busy. Let's see what we've been up to the past year...

We had our first family vacation in several years with our four kids.  We went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and had a good time with the kids.

We didn't see our stepkids.  Apparently, they're too busy though  my stepson does keep in regular email contact with his dad so that's good. My stepdaughter doesn't have much contact with dad unless she is mad about something or asking for something.  Four months and the legal relationship with the ex ends (yes, I have a countdown).

We have had some major issues with a boyfriend of my daughter's and had to involve the police. Hopefully, that issue is done with (please, be done).

We have been to countless football and basketball games supporting the kids in band and cheer (and really enjoying the high school sports surprisingly since I am so NOT a sports person).

We are gearing up for our youngest now to start softball for the first time.  My middle daughter is going out for middle school cheer.  My son will be entering high school after this school year is over so will experience high school soccer and band camp for the first time as a teenager.  My oldest tried out for flags instead of playing her flute so she'll do that for football season and has cheer tryouts this week for next year's basketball season already.

That's about it.  I play chauffeur, cook and maid more than anything.  They're growing up so fast!!

I started exercising to Hip Hop Abs by Beachbody last week. It is a really great program if you enjoy the hip hop type moves like I do.  It's easy enough for beginners and fun.  After I get my groove back, I start Beachbody's Insanity program.  Fun times ahead!
