Analysing Ad Data and New Methods of Advertising

    • fastcotwitterFirst of all, just go ahead and bookmark, rss, or follow Fast Company. It's easily one of the best magazines about business. Also check out this article regarding Twitter It's mostly about building a "trusted" network. If people don't respect you they won't follow what you're doing; if you're promoting your business you must do it in a more personal way, so you can be trusted. If they trust you they will respect you and in turn they will follow. It's that easy. I get businesses following me on twitter all the time. First I look at their posts; if it's all promotion and no personal comments then I don't follow them and in most cases I block them quick. No respect.

    • jweprint_webpromo-copy2We have launched our print services division. We do a lot of design, pre-press and printing for others so we figured, "Why not open a print shop."

      At JWE Print Services we offer great deals. Take a look at the catalog, specials and packages...oh and the browser design and upload tool and place an order. You will love the quality and prompt delivery service.

    • postissuuIf you check out the Portfolios page you will see a bunch of books where you can turn the pages and view them in full-screen mode. The Flash magazine has been done for awhile but it's an easy way for people to look at something online. Issuu does it free (pro accounts for $19 a month are available.) so you can easily upload a document and then quickly embed it into an HTML page. For Wordpress sites such as this you can install a plug-in for Issuu (search for it lazy fingers) and you're on your way to self publishing. You can also read a bunch of magazines for free. ISSUU
