Clean Out the Nasties!

Have you ever opened your fridge door and been a bit horrified at what you find inside? That perfectly good container of yogurt has turned into something unrecognizable.. And didn't you just buy that salad mix? Why is it brown? When did this happen? What a mess! The same can happen when you open your website. Things have been going great on it for awhile, maybe the rare few mistakes and errors coming up that don't seem to be a bit problem at first... But the longer it goes, the more trouble i...

Winter Traffic- Both on the Road & at Your Business

This week, the Finger Lakes received it's first official snowfall of the winter, and boy has it been fun so far. Area drivers are getting their yearly 'winter legs', and it can be a bit tricky to get around the area right now. This can make getting out to area businesses very hard for some customers. With the holiday season coming up very quickly, this can leave some consumers in a bit of a debate. "Should I risk it on the roads to go shopping, or just stay home and see what happens with the ...

"We're sorry, but the webpage you're looking for cannot be found."

That phrase has to be one of the most frustrating things I've ever read while online... And I've read a lot of things. To be happily moving along on the internet, perusing a website that's really caught your interest, only to click on the link for the next page and-The dreaded "404 error" screen. "Hey! What gives? Where's the page?" So disappointing. Now I'll never know what joyous wonders hid on the other side of that click. The link is broken! The webmaster made a mistake- and let it reach ...

Business Card Collecting

I used to collect business cards when I was younger. I know, a rather odd thing to collect... but I found that they were a great way to remember the things I had done with my parents. We would go on trips quite a bit, and I would collect the business cards of every place we stopped into. Restaurants, hotels, gift shops, even gas stations. It wasn't just on trips that I'd collect them. Even at home, when we'd go to a new store, or even to the doctor's offices... I'd ask for a card. I was fasci...

Vanity Searches

Have you ever done a vanity search?"What the heck is that?" A vanity search is when someone does a search for themselves through a search engine, wanting to see just how many times it will come back with their name. I'll admit it, I do vanity searches sometimes, out of curiosity on who's talking about me and what they're saying! (Mostly good. Thankfully.) For me, the search list comes back as pretty basic; maybe 5 or 6 hits. That's good, for me.But if you're a business owner, a vanity search ... READ MORE Posted October 28, 2008 at 08:47 AM

Rainy days.. but that's ok!

Don't forget your umbrella! It's been fairly rainy in Shortsville the last few days; a definite sign of Fall, and the more dreaded season of Winter. Xanfar's studio is right on Main Street, next to a bakery- and we've been taking advantage of the warm coffee and baked goods! They certainly make the rainy days feel better. The mention of Winter, though, also makes thoughts of the holidays come to mind. If you're part of a company looking to connect with your customers during the holiday season...
