Digital Business Cards

Business Cards were the bane of my existence. Either I would run out, have them on back order, or just  forget to bring them. This lack of connection gave up opportunity to competitors. Printed Business Cards also can't link to anything, there is no way to click to call and no way to click to get to my website.

Enter the Digital Business Card. The digital business card (DBC) is always with me on my phone, the DBC has a QR code that either uploads the DBC or fills in your contact information to the prospects contact list. The DBC has click to call, email address, links to all  my social media and my website. Cush Media has quick turnaround, experienced code writers and cost effective ways to create turnkey solutions. call us at 404-543-3317.

Websites come in all shapes and sizes

 As you are looking to develop your new website, you will find a number of choices including: 

  • HTML 5
  • Wordpress
  • Wix
  • Weebly
  • Strikingly
Each of these choices has pluses and minuses for example:
  • HTML5 is the cleanest, most flexible, most easily searchable way to build a website. However you need a person who can code in HTML5 and that person will have to make any changes and additions to the site.
  • Wordpress is a very flexible template styled website. It is great for Blogs, is easily changed and updated. It is not as flexible as HTML5 but you don't need to be a coder to make changes.
  • Wix is touted as the best all around Website Builder. 
Take your time, decide what you want and what is important to you. Is it more important to be able to change on the fly or have all the creative bells and whistles? The price can change pretty dramatically between a built from scratch HTML5 website and a template like Wix.

Cush Media LLC can build websites for your business using any of these options. We have over 10 years of experience and have built sites for everything from Dentists to Caterers. Please go to Cush Media for more information.

Website Property

As we develop a digital strategy, we must continue to focus on the most important internet investment you can make. That is the investment in your own website. This is the one piece of the internet that you own. Your website is an asset that has value. The money you invest in this property gives your business a tangible asset.

What this means is that your digital strategy should be a holistic one that:

  1. Creates new website content on a regular basis. Keyword Rich content is the number one driver of SEO traffic to a website. Some counterproductive things that can happen is that you get traffic to your website and A) The Content is out of Date B) Contact information is incorrect  C) Events have not been updated  
  2. Develops Social Media Interaction that links to your website driving traffic and increasing links back to your website
  3. Paid SEM drives traffic to your website based on a pre-selected keyword strategy including, Broad Match, Phrase Match or Exact Match.

Meaningful Specific

In the Summer of 1979 I was 2 years out of High School. The only thing I knew for sure about my future career was that I was not going to be in Sales. Sales people, I thought, were pushy, aggressive people that were always trying to manipulate me do do something I didn't want to do. During that summer for whatever reason I read a book called, How to Master the Art of Selling, by Tom Hopkins.

This book absolutely changed my life. In the first chapter Tom described what selling is and what it is not. He then went on to explain that nothing happens until a salesperson sells something. There is no need for production, accounting or management until something gets sold. I had been looking at all those other areas before I had this revelation about my future.

That book started me on a journey of self discovery and learning about motivation. I have had success in both sales and sales management since 1990. Some of the authors I read or listened to were; Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Stephen Covey and Zig Ziglar.

These authors all had a huge impact in my life and I continue to follow them today but Zig Ziglar was the first person that I was aware of that talked about goal setting. Not only did he talk about setting goals, he laid out a specific plan to develop and meet my goals. He talked about the difference in people that had goals and people that did not. He suggested that only 5% of the population had a written plan for their lives. Zig had stories about people who had succeeded beyond their wildest dreams by implementing his plan. He showed the difference between what he called a Wandering Generality and a Meaningful Specific.

Zig went on to explain how you wouldn't build a house without a blueprint but we lived our lives by wandering from crisis to crisis with no goals or plan. Here is the Zig Ziglar 7 step process for setting goals. https://curvefinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Goal-Setting-Canvas-1.pdf

Music Box Memories

Over the Last 25 years I have written hundreds of songs for politicians, corporate events, funerals, weddings, church groups and more. As I look at an event or situation there is always something that stands out, something that is a little different from any other situation, something that makes it an intimate personal experience for the people involved. 

I enjoy finding those things and bringing them to life in words and music. Whether it is a groom telling his bride how he felt the moment he first saw her, or a father reminding his daughter that she will always be his little girl, or a politician stating how he/she can make a difference, a song can bring special power and emotion to the experience.

Over the years, people have treasured the musical compositions I have created for their special life events. Music Box Memories is a labor of love. I love how music can make a person feel. I love how a memory can be connected forever to a piece of music. I love being able to put those two concepts together into a song that is written for one special occasion. I would love to be a part of your event and create a personal Music Box Memory for you and your family.

If you have a poem, that can also be put to music. Listen to the song "Oreto Front Porch", a poem written by my wife's mother, which I put to music for her. Please check out my website at Music Box Memories

The The LooSe ShoEs Band is available to play weddings and corporate events. As a founding member, I would like to invite you to visit our band's website. The Loose Shoes Band
