Looking to the future is always the next step for managers. The economy is changing rapidly, with developments in distribution, service and technology coloring the way in which businesses operate. 

This leads to a host of new start-ups, competing for market share and maybe even trying to put you out of business. Unless you are on the verge of retirement or otherwise looking to get out of business, keeping one eye on the future of your company should be a goal of your management in order to be relevant and successful for as long as possible.

Digital marketing is a lot like the weather in that it is always changing and often hard to predict. This swiftly evolving industry has been changing tremendously over the years, making it very hard for anyone with a full time job to master.

The rapid evolution of digital marketing has created new opportunities and avenues for advertising and marketing. But at the same time it has also created new ways to waste money and confuse entrepreneurs and business owners. BizX would like to help avoid the latter while working to achieve the former.

In BizX’s second panel discussion, we bring you experts from the digital marketing industry who are ready and willing to demystify digital marketing, answer your questions and drop some knowledge on all of you savvy entrepreneurs and business owners out there.

Summer is officially over next week – and soon it will be time to say goodbye to swimsuits and flip flops and hello to scarves and sweaters. But our wardrobe isn’t the only thing that needs a little adjusting as we head into fall. 

Now’s a great time to finish up any home maintenance projects before the colder temperatures, rain and snow have a chance to do any real damage. I know what you’re thinking, there’s still plenty of time for that. But do you really want to be stuck with no heat in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner? I didn’t think so. Here are a few home maintenance tasks to complete to ensure your home is ready.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should come as no shock to anyone that mobile technology has become a huge part of our daily lives. We use our phones for everything – navigation, social media, watching TV, and sometimes, to call people. In fact, 91% of smartphone owners have their phones within arm’s reach 24/7.

Why does this matter? If your business has a web component and you aren’t planning a mobile marketing strategy, then you are costing your company a very significant source of visitors, and ultimately customers. Being able to conduct business on your phone is the ultimate form of convenience, and if your company isn’t easily accessible to customers, they may think, “meh, why bother?”
