FPM Marketing did a presentation to a great group of business owners, Marketers,and Sales Managers today to teach the understanding of how Social Media works and how you can integrate it into your business.

It was awesome to see so many businesses eager to understand and further want to make social media work to grow their business.   The biggest challenge…how do you do it?

Today we went through knowing the difference between Traditional Media (something FPM Marketing used to do) vs. Social Media.   Through building business with Social Media, you want to find who your customer is and then you target your message and search for those keywords and requests through them and answer directly peoples requests and needs.   You can also answer their concerns and issues if they relate to your business.

Still not making sense?   You might want to join us at our next presentation in the coming month.   Date to be announced in the coming weeks.   If you wanted to setup an appointment we’d be more than happy to meet with you to go through how it can work for your business.

Give us a call or email us adam@fpm3.com today!

(insert Happy Birthday to us)   FPM Marketing is now 7 years old today!   What an amazing 7 years this has been.  We started as a media buying house on March 3, 2003, and turned it into a full service marketing agency that is online in all aspects of advertising today.

In 2003, I had a palm Bell phone.  My laptop was a G3 Macbook with 20Gig of harddrive and 32Meg of RAM.   The top phones of 2003 were Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson.

Today, I have a Blackberry Bold, an iPhone and a Macbook Pro 17″ running 2.68mhz with 4gig of RAM on a 500 Gig drive running at 7200 RPM.

In 2003, we had 2 designers, and 1 freelance web guy.  Today, we have 3 web guys, 3 coders and 2 designers, plus….   Times have changed.  We have the Mingle, MingleMail and the ability to prepare coding for websites and further build mobile phone applications for clients.   Get ready for another 7 years as this is going to get interesting.

Happy Birthday FPM Marketing!

It’s a proud moment in Canada where you can seriously feel the energy of the country when your driving home and the horns of almost every car and the people on the streets are waving the Canadian flag with pride.   That doesn’t happen to often in this country, however this evening is different.

I’m very sorry, yet excited that the USA also came in second and won a medal none the less.   There was just something about Team Canada needing to win that Gold medal!

All I can say is that my Sidney Crosby toy hockey stick just went up in value.   New asking price: $1,000,0000.

Congrats Canada!   You made this nation proud!

You may or may not of heard of Bill 168.   This is the Harassement in the workplace regulation set by the provincial government that makes owners of the business responsible for the employee’s so they don’t feel bullied at work.

The best part is that if we (small business owners) do NOT follow through with advising staff of what to do, and further encourage speaking out on bullying then the business owner can be fined up to $500,000.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!  This province run by the Liberal Government by the fearless McGuinty is killing small business by the day.   I’m now in charge of making sure that I have a proper daycare at my office.  When you employ adults, are they NOT to be mature individuals that can handle these matters, or feelings.

let me get something straight.  If ANYONE feels that they are being bullied in this workplace, it’s going to be by me!  The only reason they are going to be bullied is because they are NOT doing their job.   If they feel that another employee is bullying them, then I can simply fix it.  Fire the bully or advise the person that can’t handle the heat to get out of the kitchen.

What is this province doing to us.  Now we are babysitters to the staff.  When I come down hard on the staff, am I going to be a bully?

If your looking to start your small business…I’m highly advising you to possibly reconsider BUT only if your looking to open in Ontario.  Bill 168 is another passed piece of garbage by the Liberal government of Ontario to help with controlling and eventually putting this province into a communist operation.

Think I’m over exaggerating?  Feel free to click this and download the official bill of (confusing rewording itself 8 different ways) of how it works.  In the meantime…I’m going to get my baseball bat out to take care of the bullies in my office
