If your image gallery is getting larger and larger, we would like to keep it as simple as possible for you to manage.
With this in mind we have just completed another great new upgrade within the image gallery on your dashboard.
You can now;
* change the image order by dragging and dropping images.
*Specify cover image by dragging into 1st position.
*There is now an edit button so you can change the names of categories,
and finally you can order your categories by dragging and dropping.
I have to say these chilly mornings make it harder to climb out of bed, but the still sunny days are keeping me doing it and I am enjoying it while it lasts.
Any questions don't hesitate to call me
Talk soon regards Catherine

A friend just emailed this through to me and I thought it was so interesting other business owners among us might find this just as interesting - Christchurch the emerging city!

We have now built categories into the flash viewer which I am sure you will agree, helps your clients viewing more pleasurable if you have many images.
If you choose to utilize images in categories your clients first see the categories on your front page and can click to enlarge. There is a new button on the viewer (top-right) that takes the person back to the categories.
We have also done away with the separate enlarge button and it is now embedded into the flash player.
A good example is Flax Gifts billboard Click here to view
If you don't need or wish to add categories to your images your photos will scroll as usual.
Any questions don't hesitate to contact me
Have a great weekend
Kind regards Catherine

With visitors reaching just over 19,000 for November - viewing nearly 97,000 of your pages, Billboardme made quite a few small changes in order to make it easier for your clients to navigate to the correct information.
Nothing has changed in the way your site interacts and everything remains in the same position - you will just notice some name changes to titles and some colour tweeks to make required areas stand out!!
Hope you like them and they help!
Kind regards Catherine

Now is when all your clients are out frantically looking to purchase their holiday gifts!
So now is the time to target prime holiday consumers with compelling promotions.
Such things as a unique deal, discounts, and coupons go a long way to boost conversions. Perhaps your business can offer free gift wrapping, or an already prepared holiday gift set - don't forget to tell them these things.
If you miss the early shoppers such headings as “You have the perfect deal for me, the last-minute shopper" will go a long way to entice.
Keep it simple and make it easy!
Happy Christmas Promoting!!
Regards Catherine

Sale conversions come down to getting the right offers to the right people at the right time - gathering your customers email details is a great place to start - these are the RIGHT people and they already use you!
Draw attention, but not too much attention. Since most recipients scan email instead of reading it, you have about 3 to 7 seconds to convey your message and capture attention. KEEP THINGS SIMPLE, use good SPACING, attractive headlines and even BULLET POINTS to get your point across quickly to subscribers.
Use catchy subject lines. These need to be short and to the point. Think of something that you would see on a billboard that would capture your attention.
All the best with your email marketing! if you are yet to capture your customers details - I have subscriber pads you can leave on your counters, call me for further details or a sample.
Go the ABs regards Catherine

Some new information released following a May 2011 Pew Internet survey may be helpful to marketers looking to target different demographics of Web users.
The results of the study show that, to no one's surprise, search engines and email are the most common online activities. In fact, 92% of online adults say that they use search engines to find information on the Internet.
Although searching is clearly popular among most Internet-using adults, it is actually tied at 92% with the number of people who use email vs. a mere 65% who use social network sites.
This study's results don't tell us anything too shocking, but they do serve to reinforce the idea that focusing on these two key areas in Internet usage is by no means a waste of your time.
And, as the findings also point out, they're both becoming increasingly more popular among all demographics, which mean that you are now reaching out to a wider audience.
Sometimes it's best to just go with what you know works.
Happy Marketing!Click hereto read entire article.

A good resume needs to show potential customers or clients that you are the right fit for them and that you can solve their problem or requirement.
When writing your BillboardMe profile or sending an email update STICK TO THE POINT don't let your message get lost in the noise!
All that matters is that your customer understands the message.
Remember you can access your account anytime to make quick changes to your profile and therefore consistently keeping customers up to date as the market changes. It is important to keep your content current!
Best Wishes Catherine

Storage of Images is now easier on BillboardMe!
There is no need to delete images then have to find them again at a later date to pull them back into your billboard.
We have built the gallery functionality so you can:
*Create folders
*Move images between folders (either in bulk or one at a time)
*Publish and unpublish images. Published images from all folders will be displayed on your billboard, so you don’t need to move images to activate them.
*Publishing and unpublishing can be done in bulk or one at a time.
Any questions or if you would like me to pop in and run you through this with you - don't hesitate to call me!
Otherwise give it a go! Its simple!
