Some email marketing services don't automatically remove bounces. Other times, people email you to unsubscribe instead of using the handy-dandy "unsubscribe" link in your emails (crazy, I know). Take the time to go in and make sure that your list is up-to-date. Remove any bounces or unsubscribed email addresses, and add or update any new email addresses. ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/three-fast-email-marketing-tips/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/george-washington-marketing/ http://aquavitacreative.com/george-washington-marketing/#comments Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:28:21 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1359 ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/george-washington-marketing/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/does-your-website-answer-these-five-questions/ http://aquavitacreative.com/does-your-website-answer-these-five-questions/#comments Fri, 12 Feb 2010 22:33:31 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1325 Who? What? Where? When? Why? We're trained to answer all the major questions readers will have in the shortest amount of space possible. Why? Because readers skim. People also skim on the web. Does your website answer all the major questions they'll have? Take a page out of the journalist's book, and make sure you answer these questions on your home page: ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/does-your-website-answer-these-five-questions/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/three-quick-website-maintenance-tips/ http://aquavitacreative.com/three-quick-website-maintenance-tips/#comments Sat, 16 Jan 2010 00:05:59 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1180 ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/three-quick-website-maintenance-tips/feed/ 1 http://aquavitacreative.com/seven-unbreakable-website-usability-rules/ http://aquavitacreative.com/seven-unbreakable-website-usability-rules/#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:17:25 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1174 1. Thou shalt forgo happy talk and splash pages. Happy talk is any text on your site that fills up space without actually saying anything. For example, "Welcome to our site! We're so glad to have you." Splash pages are another archaic leftover from the early days of the web. These pages feature little more than a "click here to enter" button, and, like happy talk, they do little more than take up space. ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/seven-unbreakable-website-usability-rules/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/four-unbreakable-social-media-rules/ http://aquavitacreative.com/four-unbreakable-social-media-rules/#comments Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:00:57 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1145 1. Thou shalt be active. In social media, you have to establish yourself as part of the community. Don't just set up an account, make a couple of status updates or send a couple of tweets, and then decide that it's not working. Social media marketing is not a magic bullet (nothing is). It takes time, and the most popular people online have been doing it for years. ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/four-unbreakable-social-media-rules/feed/ 1 http://aquavitacreative.com/brand-identities-bunnies-moms-and-coffee/ http://aquavitacreative.com/brand-identities-bunnies-moms-and-coffee/#comments Wed, 23 Dec 2009 23:02:29 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1072 ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/brand-identities-bunnies-moms-and-coffee/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/four-more-writing-mistakes-you-shouldnt-make/ http://aquavitacreative.com/four-more-writing-mistakes-you-shouldnt-make/#comments Tue, 08 Dec 2009 20:26:57 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1034 ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/four-more-writing-mistakes-you-shouldnt-make/feed/ 1 http://aquavitacreative.com/web-slinger/ http://aquavitacreative.com/web-slinger/#comments Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:37:49 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1014 ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/web-slinger/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/30-second-guide-possessives/ http://aquavitacreative.com/30-second-guide-possessives/#comments Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:07:23 +0000 Michelle Pierce http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1004 ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/30-second-guide-possessives/feed/ 0
