Spencer Shaver Denver’s 3 Tips for Almost-Free Small Business Marketing

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2020 / Running a small business is not for the faint of heart; between daily operations and bookkeeping, marketing, and customer service, most small business owners have their hands full in more ways than one. Spencer Shaver Denver, a renowned composer and film producer, is also a respected small business consultant. The owner and executive producer of Skyward Artists Group has worked with over 100 small businesses to date, consulting in marketing, HR, staffing, and more. Spencer Shaver Denver is his three tips for budget-friendly small business marketing.

3 Tips for Small Business Marketing on a Budget

Social Media
According to Statista, by 2021, there will be about 3.02 billion social media users worldwide. Currently, about 70% of the U.S. population uses social media. Social media platforms, which include Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, are excellent ways to connect with your audience, attracting new prospects and engaging existing customers. It's also cost-effective as most platforms are free to use. Before posting, research your target demographic to find what platforms they use most, what times they're online and what kind of content they're most likely to respond to. Research indicates across the board most audiences are more likely to engage with video or photos as opposed to plain text. You can find more tips here.

Build a Website
While social media profiles are essential, Spencer Shaver Denver says they don't take the place of a business website. Your website is like a digital storefront, an opportunity to share with your audience your story, what products and services you offer, and your contact information and location. Research shows most modern consumers research brands or products online before making a decision. Even if you don't have an e-commerce component, a website is a must.

Start Blogging
Your website can also have a blog filled with content your customer base may be interested in. Spencer Shaver Denver advises a blog can position you as an industry expert and improve your site's rankings in search engines, making it more visible to people searching for products and services like yours. For instance, a chiropractor may have blog entries regarding how chiropractic care works, how it can treat various problems, and a FAQ. Keep your posts interesting with a variety of engaging content. Incorporate keywords as well to further improve search engine rankings.

Nine University Discusses the Anatomy of a Great Ecommerce Site

PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2020 / If you've been reading their blogs and watching their videos, you know that Kale Abrahamson and Taylor Hiott of Nine University know what they're talking about. Kale and Taylor are the founders of Nine University, an online eCommerce training program that teaches everything you ever wanted to know about starting an online business selling Amazon products. "Most people have already figured out by now," Kale of Nine University begins, "that the most important part of a great eCommerce site are the products." But a close second is the platform that it's on, he adds. Here, Kale and Taylor talk about eCommerce websites and what goes into making an eCommerce website successful.

"When we take a look at what successful eCommerce sites have in common," Taylor of Nine University begins, "it becomes apparent what's needed to have a profitable site, and when you add in all the factors we know from our years of research and testing, it becomes really obvious." Taylor Hiott says he looks at two parts when evaluating a new eCommerce site: the inside and the outside. "When I say the inside," Taylor adds, "I'm talking about the products themselves and options for each product that the site offers." Taylor of Nine University goes on to say that when he talks about the outside of an eCommerce site, he's referring things pertaining to the site itself.

One of the first things Kale Abrahamson of Nine University notices when critiquing a new eCommerce site is the name. "The name is the first thing people see," Kale says. It helps if the name of the site is simple and easy to remember, he adds. Having a dot com or dot net extension is the best, although I've seen some good sites with other extensions, Kale says. "I like seeing a logo with the name too," he adds, although that's not mandatory.

The name of the site doesn't necessarily have to reflect what's inside. It helps if the name has an interesting story or a special meaning to go behind it. "For example, Amazon is a simple name," Kale says. Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, chose that name since it represented something to him that was exotic and different. The Amazon River is the world's biggest river and Bezos wanted to become the world's biggest retailer, Kale adds.

The next thing Taylor and Kale notice is the layout of the homepage itself. "This works just like a storefront in an actual retail location," they added. Here is where you really need to impress your visitor, as he'll make a subconscious decision about your site within seconds. It should be readily apparent what type of site it is and what you're offering, they add.

Nine University says the site needs to be functional. "This is one of the primary rules of eCommerce," Kale explains. Having a site in which the navigation buttons or the checkout button doesn't work can be the kiss of death, he adds. "Visitors assume if you don't care enough to keep your site working properly, you're probably not going to care about their order either," Kale says. He talks about the many sites he's visited in which something either doesn't work or just doesn't look right. "I won't even bother looking around," Kale of Nine University says.

Another thing Taylor Hiott of Nine University recommends is that the store has a section where you can find products by category. "Unless you're just selling one thing," he adds, "this is a really helpful feature to have for your customer." A search feature is another helpful area if you have more than a few products. He says your customer will appreciate the convenience these features provide.

Next, Kale says he will examine the product pages. In a good product page, he adds, your customer will expect to see a clear up-close photo of the product (preferably more than one), a good description of the product, details and specifications, clear pricing, and the buy button. Sometimes, you'll even see suggestions for similar products as well.

It also helps to have a page about the business itself although this isn't mandatory, Kale Abrahamson says. "An ‘About' page helps to build that all-important thing we call trust, which boosts sales in the long run," he says. Kale of Nine University likes to see photos of people working in the company. "That might just be me," he adds, "but I like knowing who I'm ordering from."

Kale and Taylor say they want to see a simple checkout page. "Not only does the checkout page need to be streamlined," they explained, "We also want to see a nice thank you page after someone orders." They also say the thank you page is a great opportunity to get someone to click on your social media links or even look at a product that others have purchased with the product the customer just bought. "It's a last chance for you to increase the sale for that customer on that visit," Kale adds. Kale Abrahamson and Taylor Hiott of Nine University say they also expect to receive a follow-up email after purchase as a receipt or confirmation of purchase. "It's what customers expect nowadays" Taylor adds, "and it's really all about the customer experience."

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2020 / Today, Berman Tabacco (www.bermantabacco.com), a national law firm representing investors, filed a class-action lawsuit for violations of the federal securities laws against Sterling Bancorp, Inc. ("Sterling" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SBT), certain of its current and former officers and directors, and the underwriters for the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Sterling common stock from November 17, 2017 through and including December 8, 2019, (the "Class Period") and investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Sterling common stock in or traceable to the Company's IPO.

Berman Tabacco filed this action in the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of its client, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System. The case is captioned Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System v. Sterling Bancorp, Inc, et al., No. 2:20-cv-10490. A copy of the complaint is available on the firm's website [here].

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made untrue statements of material fact and omitted other facts necessary to make the statements not misleading and failed to disclose material facts concerning, inter alia, the Company's loan underwriting, risk management and internal controls, including repeatedly touting its strict underwriting, asset quality and the Advantage Loan Program.

If you wish to serve as Lead Plaintiff for the Class, you must file a motion with the Court no later than Monday, April 27, 2020, which is the first business day on which the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan is open that is 60 days after the publication date of this notice.

Raiti, PLLC Announces Pendency of a Securities Class Action Against Elastos Foundation and Certain of Its Senior Executives

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2020 / Raiti, PLLC today announces that a securities class action lawsuit is pending against Elastos Foundation ("Elastos" or the "Company") and certain of its senior executives. This action was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, and subsequently removed to the Southern District of New York. The action is captioned Mark Owen v. Elastos Foundation, et al., No. 1:19-cv-05462 (S.D.N.Y).

The complaint asserts claims under Sections 5, 12(a)(1), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased or acquired Elastos cryptocurrency: (1) pursuant to Elastos' initial coin offering ("ICO") conducted between January 1, 2018 and January 31, 2018; (2) pursuant to Elastos' token lock-up program conducted on or around February 14, 2018; or (3) after the completion of the ICO, on the secondary market through November 21, 2018, the date of Elastos' last alleged solicitation of purchases of Elastos cryptocurrency.

Plaintiffs allege that between January 1, 2018 and January 31, 2018, Elastos conducted an ICO during which it received between $94 million and $200 million by selling Elastos tokens to investors. Prior to conducting the ICO, Elastos did not submit any registration statements to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and there were not any available exemptions from the registration. Subsequent to the completion of the ICO, Elastos and certain of its senior executives actively promoted and solicited investors to purchase Elastos tokens on the secondary market. Elastos also established a lock-up program whereby investors agreed not to sell their tokens for a specified period in exchange for interest that accrued in the form of additional tokens. The action alleges that the ICO, lock-up program, as well as the promotion and solicitation to purchase Elastos tokens on the secondary market constitutes the offer and sale of unregistered securities without an exemption in violation of the Securities Act.

Not later than April 27, 2020, which is the first business day after 60 days from the date of the publication of this notice, any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as Lead Plaintiff. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain a member of the proposed class. The ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent on serving as Lead Plaintiff.
