Welcome to Pos-abilities!
Do you ever feel that technology is changing so fast that it
is running right past you? We can help answer some of
your questions and offer assistance.
Today, lets start with WEB 2.0 and Social
Networking. What are these and how can they help your
business?
Web 2.0 refers to a set of software programs, services and
programming languages. To learn more, watch this Short Video:
What is Web
2.0?
So why should you care? Because it affects your business,
your customers, your distributors and everyone along the food
chain. The ways in which you interact with customers on a
daily basis is changing for the better. You now have the
ability to send direct emails to customers that include more than
simply WORDS. Now you can make those words sing and dance,
pulling in additional sales. The static letter or
marketing brochure is DEAD! Customers expect to be entertained
before they purchase. They also want to be able to find the
information needed to make an informed decision. So let's
start with customers.
How do you do that? You can start simply with your own website
and then branch out from there. In the past year Assured Computing
Technologies has added over 25 white paper topics on our website. We
regularly post these on our
BLOG We have also
started a discussion group on
YAHOO GROUPS We have our
own page at
FACEBOOK We have set-up
a page at
YOU TUBE with our
Videos for training and
marketing purposes. We started a page at
MYSPACE too. And
these are just a few of sites where we have added our
presence. Does it make a difference? We believe that the
wider your net, the more fish you'll catch. If we only gain a
few customers from each additional site, that adds up.
Where are you listed? We have pointed out only a
few places possible! There are hundreds more. Dedicated
websites are springing up everyday for special niche markets.
Sell food? Find sites that feature recipes and add
your own. Sell Beer? Start a Beer Lovers
Blog. Handle Indoor Baseball training? Find
all the dedicated Sport sites, put videos on YouTube featuring your
facility. If a place doesnt' exist, create one.
Next month we'll look at your
distributors.
HP has
always been known for the great Servers Printers,
Desktops and Laptops. Tthey also make Retail and Hospitality
models.
One of the fastest growing market
segments is the restaurant area. This covers fine
dining, Quick Service, Carry Out Delivery and the newest
'Cook Your Own'. We feature several different products in both
hardware and software for this segment, but one of the newest
items is also one that I personally think is the most
exciting! INFOCUBE!
It's taken
us 10 years, but we have finally covered all 50 states with
POS systems. The last state to fall was North Dakota in
January. We also have systems in 5 Canadian
Providences.
