Overview

As you can see from the above, just for the main features we’ll be using in the application, that it has a massive amount of features and functionality. We feel that it will be a perfect fit for our company and will allow us to budget, quote and manage projects much more reliability than we have been before, not to mention we’ll be able to be more accurate with our estimating and quoting in the future. We’ll have access to all previous jobs and be able to go through and copy items and expenses over as needed to new jobs that require the same type or amount of work.

All in all we feel that the application contains everything that we need in one and will make things much easier for us in the long run. Again the price point is a bit steep for some, but there is still a lot that comes with the application to combat the price. Maybe they would be willing to work with us on the price or give us a discount, who knows. Only time will tell.

Social Networking Marketing?

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/mbowden/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cdn-tools/cdntools.php on line 200

So I’ve been reading up on a new type of marketing, whereas one utilizes social networking outlets to blast anything out there to the masses. We’ve all heard of Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and so on. But did you know that they are a huge untapped market, ready to be “cough” tapped.

After reading up on doing this type of marketing, the first thing that popped into my head was, this is going to take a really long time to do. Why would I want to input the same thing over and over again on all these web sites. There is a really good reason for doing it, either by hand or automated. Yes I said automated, it can be done and it isn’t “blackhat” either. Check out the bottom of this post, you see the button that says “Bookmark & Share”? Mouse over that button and see what it does. I know, you’re saying “But Mike, this is for us to bookmark you, not the other way around.”.

YOU’RE WRONG! Ok, now that I’ve got that out. That is incorrect, in order to get that button through OnlyWire’s<
