Don't forget to make sure you follow @ocletip on twitter.

Also, a quick reminder that newsletter ads are due next week!

Orange County Family Therapist & Psychotherapy Specialist

Our first speak this week was our Orange County family therapist and psychotherapy specialist, Dr. Bruce Fredenburg. Today he talked about divorce, and how he can help with a collaborative divorce.

Since many couples who decide to divorce in Orange County do it with combat and fighting, Bruce has found a better way working with attorneys to help make the process easier. His patients will have less finger pointing and fighting. Additionally, there is only one child specialist instead of dueling specialists and one financial specialist. Since divorce is already so hard on everyone, having neutral parties with once sound common goal in mind makes it easier and healthier for the whole family.

Quick Tip: If you're still stressing, Dr. Bruce has a sleep management CD available as well!

Good tips/referrals for Dr. Bruce are estate planners, financial advisors, attorneys, or someone who consults with people before divorce.

Bernard used to train big companies on embroidery before he started his own biz so his skills are the best of the best!

Good tips for Bernard are both small businesses and large companies too. Having something as simple as just your logo on your shirt goes a long way!

Orange County Web Design, Programming & Software Creation Specialist

Our final speak was the Tech Team suitemate, Scott Garland, our resident Orange County web design, programming & software creation specialist. He reminded the group that without a good website you are definitely losing out on business.

According to a recent survey by Webvisible and Nielsen...
63% of small business owners turn first to the internet for information about local companies.
82% use search engines to do so.
BUT only 44 % of small businesses have a website.
How much business are you missing out on?

Also, if you have an old site, its time to upgrade! It helps you communicate with customers, obtain investors, and be available at 3am (LOL) :)

A good tip or referral for Mediablend are people doing manual work on paper - mediablend can automate the process and make everything digital. This allows your employees to have an easy flow, leads to automatically go into your database. That's more work with less manpower!

Small start up with a small website budget only?? That's ok, you can get a template website for just $599. Professional look and feel with your own images and colors...a great deal for an Orange County business website design!

Small Business Websites and SEO

Thank you to Jim Gross, our Orange County printer, who sent this article from PRINT SOLUTIONS WEEKLY. The article was written FEB. 18, 2009, NOT 5 years ago. Seriously?

Small Businesses' Online Disconnect

While 63 percent of small business owners turn first to the internet for information about local companies and 82 percent use search engines to do so, only 44 percent of small businesses have a website and half spend less than 10 percent of their marketing budgets online, according to a recent survey by Webvisible and Nielsen.

If your services include search engine optimization or website design, there may be sales opportunities among the small businesses in your region.

The research found an accelerating trend toward online media for local search, with 92% of searchers saying they are happy with the results they get when using search engines, though 39 percent report frequently not being able to locate a particular known business. This may mean that searchers may choose to contact a similar business with a stronger online presence.

Though less than half of small businesses do have a website, the ones that do are not happy overall with their online marketing. Among those small businesses that have a website:

• 51 percent believe both the quality and ability of their site to acquire new customers is "fair" or "poor"
• 78 percent believe they advertise in the same places as their competitors
• only 7 percent of small business owners say their primary marketing goal is to get more visitors to their website
• 61 spend fewer than three hours a week marketing their website
• only 9 percent are satisfied with their online marketing efforts
