Sunday Funday
Last week was Qittle’s biggest week to date. We signed up 7 new clients, a couple off the internet, a contact of Courtney’s and a local company. Nice job everyone. Last week was the first week it felt like traffic and buzz is starting to pay off and the momentum is starting to snowball.
Sunday Funday at Qittle
I’ve attached a photo of my office wall, yes it was creative Sunday here at the office. I like to call it Sunday funday.
This is my challenge to myself, 1 Million in revenue by July 3rd 2010 (end of Live The Dream and my B-day) Here is what my picture and Goal mean to me.
Happy Customers, Happy Team = Goal
That means our customers love our service, our customer service, our support and Qittle. We make money.
The team is happy means, we are seeing pay checks on a regular basis, we love coming to work, we have a passion for what we do and it’s not a job but an extension of who we are.
When these 2 things are met the goal of revenue is achievable. As a team all of our goals play into the Qittle goals. I’d like to challenge everyone to set a goal this week and have fun with it. Blog about it, Facebook it, Tweet it or design your wall. I’m thinking through a fun prize for the most creative which I’ll give out on Friday.
Thanks for being a part of this journey

The deal will help Google in its efforts to develop more effective tools for creating, serving and analyzing emerging mobile ads formats and expand beyond its traditional focus on search advertising.
Example of a Nice Newspaper Ad for Mobile Opt in
This is a very good example of a nice Newspaper ad for Mobile opt in or for that matter any ad.
We like to call it a “Call To Action” what are you asking the reader to do? The Call To Action should be one thing, not multiple messages or actions. Asking people to take too many steps is not very effect or having too many messages with in one ad is not very successful.
The idea is an easy next step, Text in to get…
Once we’ve made that connection now reach back out with another offer or communication. The biggest mistake we see with marketing messages is too many actions or messages within one ad. It’s messy and there is no clear message.
The Golden rule applies, Keep it simple!
