The Cutting Edge of Online Marketing

I love it when simple products do a job extraordinarily well. In a recent blog post, Refreshing Your Manufactured Housing website – why?, we covered some of the reasons why now may be the time to update your online information. If you haven’t read it, of have forgotten it, read it again.

In the July issue of MHMSM.com, Maria Cucchiara of All Seasons Communications wrote Six Reasons to Update Your Current MH Website, which explained why an updated website is a necessity. Again, read it or re-read it – there is wisdom in Maria’s words.

All well and good. All commercial websites need to be refreshed every few years or their effectiveness starts to fade. And that is a job for a web design professional. If that’s where you find yourself, call us.

But what about those little changes that need to be made from time to time? You know the ones… a changed price or phone number. Adding a feature to a bullet list. Adding or deleting a dated sentence…

If your’s is a small to medium operation, you may not want to call your web developer every time one of those pops up. If you hired an amateur – or a part-time developer – you may have to wait a long time to get the change made – if ever. They may have simply disappeared or gone out of business.

What if there was a way to make it easy for anyone in your office who can create a simple Word doc to make those little updates for you? Think that could save you some time and money? You bet it could!

If we had built your website, you probably wouldn’t be facing this problem right now because it would be built on a platform that allows you to make simple updates.

But even if your website was built using static pages, the ability to edit sections of your site can be added even now.

And if you can use Microsoft Word®, you can use the simple WYSIWYG interface that can be installed on your website using the files you use now, and keeping the “look and feel” of your current site – the design.

There is more information on this on the Update Your Own Website page at OrangeCat.net. If you are in the position where you or an employee need to make some updates to your website, this may be the answer.

And we’ve been doing this since 1996, so we’ve never vanished on any client.

You’ve attended the meetings. You’ve got your copy of The Manufactured Housing Revolution book. You’ve read Bob Stovall’s Online Marketing 1-2-3, Part 1 – the Website and Maria Cucchiara’s Six Reasons to Update Your Current MH Website in this month’s MHMSM.com.

May 2010′s sales figures from MHI show a 16.9% gain on the previous May. Momentum is starting to build. Now is the time to make your commitment to making more sales this month, and the next and the next…

No one else can do it for you.

We believe that Manufactured Housing has a very bright future. Market conditions are coming to favor the industry. See Ken Rishel‘s Why Does Globalization Favor Manufactured Housing? in the July issue of MHMSM.com for more on that.

Read the two articles mentioned previously… again, if you’ve read them already. Internalize what is being said. Then, take action! Without action, even the grandest plans will come to nought.

It’s said that “nothing happens until a sale is made.” The sale is the root – the production, delivery, installation, usage and service are the fruits.

Here at MHMSM.com, we have been planting seeds for nine months. In that short period of time, our website, podcasts, blogs and special reports have drawn huge numbers of readers from the industry in the U.S. and around the world.

We score extremely well in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) for keywords relevant to our industry.

Page one positions 2, 2b and 5 held by us for keyword “manufactured housing online marketing.

We can build – or re-build – your website. We can add on a blog (ask us why this can be vital). We can run your email list for you. We can handle your social networking. We can create a comprehensive eMarketing program to boost your Search Engine ranking in your local market.

Now is the time to get started.
