Spring is almost here! I'm sure we will all be glad to see something besides snow when we look out the window.

Is your Web site up to date? If not, this is a good time to do some "Spring Cleaning." It is important to add fresh content to your site now and then to keep it from getting stale.

You should update your site whenever you:

• offer new products or services
• change prices or shipping policies
• change hours, staff or contact information
• have anything of value you want to share with your customers

Easy ways to do this: Have a "What's New" section on your Home Page to draw attention to these changes. You can also offer articles, helpful resources or event listings, but make sure that the content stays current.

Do you need help updating your Web site? If you don't feel you have the time, staff or expertise to do this yourself, give me a call or email. I can help!

I hate to admit it, but sometimes I have a hard time keeping my own Web site up to date when I am busy with other work.

Recently I had let it slide. Because my web site is my most important marketing tool, I knew an out of date site could be costing me business.

And then, my own mother informed me that my Web site was boring!

That was the wake-up call that got me moving. Let me know what you think. I'm sure my Mom will...

This is a wonderful and inspiring TRUE story about the spirit of Customer Service.

It will remind you that even the smallest things can make a great impact.
