America's New Entrepreneur--SemSem SEO LLC

A Division of Gardner Bank

www.SmallBusinessBank.com

 

 At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story, in their own words, is SEMSEM SEO RVA.

SemSem SEO, LLC was founded in 2012 with the goal of helping local Richmond businesses help connect with more customers online.  We specialize in local search engine optimization (SEO), meaning we help businesses rank higher for customers searching in your local area.  We have had great success improving the bottom line of our regional clients by increasing search engine visibility.

Our number one tip for small business owners is that everyone needs a strong "Web Identity" -- what users find when they search for the name of your business.  It is 2015, and we still find many Richmond, VA businesses do not have a website.  Word of mouth may be the top referral source for many businesses, but if your website is non-existent or out-of-date, then you may be losing customers who have been referred to you.  The other important aspect of Web Identity is managing your online reputation and getting positive reviews.

When it comes to improving "Web Presence" -- how new customers find you through the web -- it helps to work with a search engine optimization company who understands your industry.  In particular, if you are a brick & mortar business serving your local area, you should work with someone who can help you get ranked for customers who are located near you. 

 

People frequently search from mobile devices that have GPS, so search engines will pick up on the customers actual location.  A quick test is to search for your type of business using your mobile phone from within your business.  Do you rank #1 on Google when you do this test?  If not, you should add local SEO into your marketing plan and budget.

America's New Entrepreneur--Michelle Tom Jewelry

A Division of Gardner Bank

 At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story, in their own words, is Michelle Tom Jewelry.

Michelle Tom Jewelry unites the healing properties of neodymium rare earth magnets with modern, simple designs that embrace beautiful curves and bright hues in precious metals and gem stones.  We are committed to encouraging pain relief without the use of medication, and promote holistic healing and overall wellness with Magnet Therapy.

Magnet Therapy is an alternative treatment to medicine for managing pain.  All energy is electromagnetic in nature, and nothing happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange between cells.  Magnets help re-balance the body's natural magnetic field.   Like acupuncture, magnets accelerate the body's ability to heal itself by drawing blood and fluid to the area to which it is applied.

 

·         Fun Fact #1:  Static magnet therapy is used extensively by horses, golfers and athletes after a performance to accelerate and shorten recovery time.

·         Fun Fact #2:  Cleopatra loved magnetic therapy, and wore a lodestone (naturally magnetized stone) on her third eye to help her sleep and to keep the wrinkles away.

Michelle Tom is a small business based in New York City, and we depend on our trusted partnerships such as Small Business Bank to support us as we grow and expand into new markets.  We appreciate that they understand the challenges that small businesses face, and accommodate us with accessible requirements and excellent service.

America's New Entrepreneur--Pod Giving

 

A Division of Gardner Bank

www.SmallBusinessBank.com

 

At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story is POD GIVING.

 

For today's churchgoer, here's a situation we all know too well. You're sitting at your church service, pastor preaching, band rocking out to the newest Hillsong release, and the offering basket comes around. You don't reach for the cash you never carry and you can't pull out your checkbook because you stopped writing checks a long time ago, but you want to help your church's ministries. You want to give, but you want to do it with a card, and you want it to be easy. Let's be honest, if there was an easier way, you'd be giving way more back to your church during the service than you're giving now.

 

If the future of the church is the folks who want to help their churches, why isn't there a more convenient way to give during the offering?

 

Payment habit statistics tell us that paying by card dominates the way people pay for things. Doubt that? Google it. Or maybe Ask Jeeves,  if you're one of the those who thinks you are the only one not still carrying a checkbook. That's why we created POD, the fastest, simplest way to give with your card to the church and ministries you care deeply about during your church service. Here's how POD works:

• the POD device is passed around like your traditional offering basket
• when you get it, you'll see it's four-sided, and each side is a predefined amount to give
• swipe whatever side you want to give and the POD will blink saying you're good to go

Think about this real quick. POD's "swipe and pass" basket is just as fast and simple as the traditional "drop and pass" basket. Everyone carries a card and almost nobody carries cash. Why wouldn't your church try it out? Speaking on behalf of most of us who carry cards, but not cash or checkbooks, we want a convenient way to give back to our church during the service, and we want it to be easy. And that's the reason POD was born.

At SBB, we're thrilled to have a business like Pod Giving as our customer! Visit their website at: http://www.podgiving.com.

The Microbusiness Difference--The Ripple Effect!

 

A Division of Gardner Bank

www.smallbusinessbank.com

Microbusiness companies and their business operations can have a "ripple" effect on job creation. One is by an "induced" effect from  hiring a new employee. The other is an indirect effect on the larger employment picture when the microbusiness is buying goods and services in the normal course of doing business.

This would be the case for example, when a microbusiness will purchase a computer for it's own business operations. The direct and indirect effects serve to ripple economic activity by the direct impact of hiring an employee, and indirectly when the decision to purchase a computer results in the hiring or retention of employees at those companies in the economic link by that 1 purchase.

 

The ripple continues in the example above, when the computer that was bought by a microbusiness is used to purchase additional goods and services due to increased efficiencies.

Thus, in addition to the 26 million jobs contributed directly in 2011 by microbusinesses, microbusinesses also added 1.9 million indirect jobs and 13.4 million induced jobs.

This gives a combined total of 41.2 million jobs, which amount to 31 percent of all private sector employment.

(The above from the Association For Enterprise Opportunity--The voice of Microbusiness).
