If you happened to miss it yesterday, Mike Sullivan, the newest member of DSAD, had a nice interview with the CEO of Help.com. Told an inspirational story of how the CEO went from call desk worker all the way up to the Top rank. He rose up the ranks by mastering each part of the business and moving up to the next. A good lesson for all. Because of Mike and the others here at DSAD we have picked up two new advertisers and more to come. We’ve all become blind to advertisements but you have to remember than many of the sites you visit during the day only exist because of the support we receive. Escrow.com, Domaining.com and Namejet.com single handily kept this site running for the first 5 years and its not forgotten. I even thanked Matt Barrie of Escrow.com personally when we had dinner together at NamesCon and he said. “We’re happy with your work and glad we could help” “And you are again?”. Just kidding. I know he has much more important things to worry about than working with a little blog called DSAD I was still appreciative. In exchange I told him he needs Escrow.com to hook up with BringATrailer.com and if it works out he would have to buy me that 911 I’ve been eyeing. Remember, its the only one of two things I allow myself to buy since I’ve minimized my life. The other is my running shoes.
On another note I have been experimenting with different forms of online advertising. I’ve pretty much exhausted all forms of traditional media for the nursery and the next step is digital. Our first step was converting all ad dollars spent on print over to Facebook. It was a smashing success. We had 1/3 the ad spend and 3 times the response. I’ve recently been working on Instagram and can see that its a perfect fit for the nursery. The nursery is beauty and Instagram can capture that beauty. Its a no brainer. As for as Adwords, I’ve realized I can fill the adwords spots in the local paper for next to nothing compared to what it would cost me to buy a constant ad. I never beat out the national stuff or car dealers but I pick up the other spots for pretty cheap. I’ll start filling national sites here soon but when I turn up the traffic I have to figure out my lander and what I am pushing them to. It can’t be just the main page. I need a carrot and a hook. The carrot is easy. Being a local ad with a city they recognize is very effective. Putting our city in big letters really catches them because they always are surprise when they see a local ad in a national site. They have no idea how it works. Only that its cool to see an ad for something they’ve heard about. My job from this point on is how to get them straight to an action and not just remind them we are there. It’s going to take a little more thought. But like most things on the net. I’ll eventually figure it out. Here are today’s names. Make sure to click on the names to see the current price and to help DSAD keep on keeping on.
