January meeting: "Web
Trends and Internet Strategies"
For several years, Informatics
founder and vice president Maureen Osako has helped us ride the wave
of trends in communication technology. This year was no exception,
as she began by reminding us why should we be paying attention:
Because the Internet is creating new business models, it provides
the most efficient distribution channel available and, frankly, it's
a threat to organizations that are not figuring out how to
incorporate it into their way of doing business. What are the top
five strategies for using the Internet? 1. Make sure you have a
well-designed, interactive website; 2. drive traffic to your site
(cross marketing, search engines, pay per click); 3. use e-marketing
(e-newsletters - like this one!); 4. consider the use of extranets
(value-added private websites for select audiences); and 5. use
interactive media to share information on your website (customer
reviews, blogs, audio and video, message boards, podcasting).
