There are many challenges in running a small or medium business. Many CEOs and owners are forced to work in constant crisis management mode, handling a wide variety of tasks, running from employee motivation to materiel & supplies to trying to get paid on invoices to coming up with new directions and leads for the business. For the person in charge of a small/medium business, it’s always helpful to find ways to offload duties that can be done by others, so that you can concentrate on the core of the business.

Construction business owner Larry Dominguez subcontracted 3PRIME to manage his online social media profiles. Working long hours in a competitive field, along with taking care of a family and engaging in hobbies like mountaineering doesn’t leave Mr. Dominguez much time to learn the ins and outs of maintaining a business presence on the Internet, and this is one of the things 3PRIME does best. Among the social media profiles that we have created and continue to manage are:

Twitter for: Larry Dominguez

If you are a business owner who is seeking to step into the new century by expanding and managing your presence online, 3PRIME is always there to take your call.

Running a business is tough, and between managing cash flow, employees and contracts, the owner of a small to medium company may not have the time left to manage the company’s online presence and social media profile. This is why 3PRIME offers business owners a range of social profile setup and management services, in order to give them more time and space to concentrate on the immediate aspects of being a CEO.

3PRIME was recently contracted to manage social media profiles for Larry Dominguez, the owner of a Tri-State area construction business. Aside from helming the company that has built and repaired roofs for over 20 years in several states, Larry is an avid outdoorsman and mountaineer, with a number of snowy peak conquests notched into his piolet.

Among the profiles that 3PRIME has created and continues to manage for Mr. Dominguez are:

Leed Industries, Inc., is a Tristate Area construction firm that specializes in roofing, siding, weatherproof insulation and related products and services. The company has had a market presence for two decades, and is fully licensed, insured and bonded, for the client’s peace of mind.

Leed contracted 3PRIME to undertake management of the company’s social media presence, as well as its online directory listings, such as:

SuperPages for: Leed Industries
YellowPages for: Leed industries
Yahoo Local for: Leed industries

As a business owner is usually too busy running his or her company to devote much time to managing social media and maintaining a company presence online, for many owners it makes sense to contract a company that does it for them. Among many web services that 3PRIME provides businesses, we can help launch and manage your presence on social media sites, respond to customer questions and engage in promotional activities.

3PRIME has begun work for Satellite Sounds Recording, a New Haven recording studio. We have started basic website optimization for the recording studio’s site. And in addition to this we also interviewed the studio’s owner, Doug Slawin, and published an article based on our discussion. The article is called 4 Critical Preparations before your Recording Studio Session and it’s a great starting guide for someone who’s about to take some studio time.

If you’re in need of studio quality audio recording done in their studio or on location, then check out SatelliteSoundRecording.com.

Through one of our long-time clients, mystery shopping company Coyle Hospitality Group, we had an opportunity to meet a new business. Coyle and Elite Investigations of Las Vegas are partnering to offer mystery shopping services in Nevada, so we created a mystery shopping service page for them.

However, the owner of Elite Investigations, Jon Girard, was no longer in touch with the web company he used over a decade ago. Through his trust in Jim, Jon, decided to put his faith in us and worked to provide us with the necessary access to take a look under the hood. We had the page added in under one hour.

We can store your information in case you need it, or in case you need to change it! 3PRIME has provided website management for diverse companies, using a variety of hosting and registrar services and with all manner of individual histories.

We recently began work for Larry Dominguez, the co-owner of Armor-Tite Construction Corp. He wanted our help in increasing the online prominence of not just Armor-Tite but himself as the face of the company. To this end we created several social media profiles for him and his company. The first one being the Larry Dominguez Google+ account. We also helped him set up his blog, a Twitter and a Linkedin profile. Larry is an avid outdoorsman and its been fun hearing him retell some of his stories. You can see a few of his mountain climbing pictures below and see even more on his Pinterest account.

Saturday night had some curious night sky tenants. Heading out for some much appreciated time out, Amy & I noticed to bright lights in the night sky, and knowing they had to be planets, we stopped to check them out.

Turns out they were Jupiter and Venus and they made quite an impressive duo! My phone did it’s best, but definitely not the easiest shot. The image seems to show, perhaps, some of the moons around them!

3PRIME has recently launched the new website for Marketing By Zip(MBZ). MBZ is a marketing company which focuses on creating simple solutions and ideas for businesses. It’s always encouraging to work with a company that has similar values and we were happy to help their upgraded site come to fruition. The site that we set up at MarketingByZip.com is easy to use and a great example of functional and attractive web design. It features a CMS which will allow them to update content on the site as they see fit. This was important for MBZ because it allows them to communicate special deals and opportunities to their client base as they become available. Read the rest of this entry »

There are some great options for adding eCommerce to an existing website but all involve a variety of considerations

1) How many products are you selling? If it’s just a few, you can skip custom cart development and use PayPal buttons. Make a great product page, and get the code from Paypal. No worries about security certificates and it’s easy to add new products just by adding new pages and generating new buttons. The major downside of this is that there is no “customer management” built into the website and PayPal’s merchant fees are high on a per-transaction basis. But it is by far the easiest way to set up eCommerce on a site. We also set up a payment page for consultants so their clients can pay online through their website.

I have received half a dozen of these in the last week. The emails are unsolicited offers to “renew” your domain with the phrase” Final notice” in the subject to get people to open it. The top looks like this:

Then we have the “Scare Line”

And Finally, the false savings:

$75 for one year? This company and most of our clients are registered with GoDaddy, which has their own methods of boosting sales, but charges a fair price of around $12 per year for domain registration. Savings will not be found in this offer or ones like it!

Other info about this spam domain renewal email

The messages come from “codero.com” and also mentions “sesubmission.com“. It’s a shady tactic but perfectly legal. As they say in the fine print at the bottom:

Note that THIS IS NOT A BILL. This is a solicitation. You are under no obligation to pay the amounts stated unless you accept this offer. … There is no pre-existing relationship between DS and the domain mentioned above. This notice is not in any part associated with a continuation of services for domain registration.
