Why Social Media is Important to Your Business

Nielsen Online: Member Communities surpass Email in terms of Internet Popularity

A 2008 Nielsen Online report released this past March shows that member communities, aka social networking websites like Facebook, now reach more people globally than email. The report continues by stating that the time spent on member community websites is drastically growing and that the fastest growing segment by age is the 35-49 demographic. These are decision makers with money and your company should engage them!

Social Media websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and the new Twitter juggernaut are amazing tools for sharing information and companies are beginning to leverage their power to grow their businesses...

New Vintage Cafe Website Coming Soon...

DezTech is proud to announce that we have been awarded the contract to develop the website for the new Vintage Cafe coming to uptown Whittier very soon. We were awarded this project because the owner likes the website we recently built for DineSeta.com, also in uptown Whittier.

This website will likely launch by the end of the month or in early June...

Sincerely,

DezTech Wishes You a Happy Earth Day!

So this morning I put on my boxers with the little bicycles on them and rode my bike to work (sorry, TMI, hopefully you're ok)... I ride to work from time to time, but today I did it for Earth Day! "Going Green" has been all the rage lately so hopefully you're pitching in and doing your part. Plant a tree, clean a beach, or try not to print documents emailed to you if you can just read/use them electronically. Take your own grocery bags to the store, recycle more, etc...

Businesses are going green at an amazing rate, often because of the FINANCIAL savings they can acheive through using less energy, less paper, etc. We've specifically helped a few businesses implement more efficient electronic processes that get them away from old skool paper-based manual processes. In fact, THAT kind of stuff is really my favorite type of project! Maybe you have a similar situation...

Whatever you do, do something for the planet. Do MORE for the planet... Because we only have one planet people, don't f*#% it up! =)

Web Development is Picking Up...

After a painfully slow December, January, and February we're happy to say that things are looking a little brighter again. At yesterday's Huntington Beach Chamber Luncheon it seemed like the people I talked to had a similar feeling and outlook. A sense of normalcy is returning to us, at least among the business owners I've interacted with.

One of our clients, The Reynolds Group, has even found creative ways to try and significantly grow their business by capturing market share from competitors that have struggled to serve clients in these times. Their story, like many others planning to increase market share, are good examples of how to get through these economic times.

So hang in there and think about how YOU can help your business do better!

Sincerely,
-Aaron
