Refer 25 friends and win a customized tab on your fanpage!

The latest craze has been designing “website like” pages using FBML (facebook mark up language).  It takes some html skills and a little photoshop creation and you can really create a nice tab on your fanpage.  I’m having a lot of fun creating pages for clients and I felt like running a contest for my online following.  It’s really pretty simple to win!!  All you have to do is refer 25 of your friends to my fanpage and have them sign up for our mailing list.  On our mailing list there is a “referred by” box that your friend can put your name in.  The contest runs until someone hits the mark.  Watch this brief video below for more details.

Island Consulting Corp is a Youngstown Social Media Marketing company committed to helping companies, individuals; Churches and groups connect their relationships online.  At a time when the economy is down and marketing costs are rising, the need for social media is great.  A more personalized connection is created with social media marketing and scheduling a social media consultation may be just what many companies need.  During challenging times or when new competition arrives in the market, the importance in established relationships may be the determining factor for survival.  Established relationships will insure long lasting sales, memberships and more.

Most brick and mortar companies were built on word of mouth marketing.  For example, a new pizza shop sets out to create a unique product and atmosphere that people enjoy and want to share with others.  Once a few people frequent the establishment they will by nature go and tell others about the great pizza or dining experience they received.  The sooner the brick and mortars realize that social media is the word of mouth for today, the sooner they can truly emerge and leave their competition in the dust.

Facebook receives most search site in US.

Recently, Facebook surpassed Google in most searched site in the US.  SEE EXCERPT BELOW:

Facebook has surpassed Google as the most visited Website in the US, according to a report published on Monday by analytics company Hitwise.

The firm said that for the week ending March 13, 2010, Facebook became the most visited site in the US.  Last week the two Internet giants accounted for 14% of all US Internet visits.  Facebook barely surpassed Google, with 7.07%, while Google had 7.03% of the weekly market share.

Hitwise said Facebook’s market share increased 185% last week compared to the same week last year, while visits to Google increased only 9% during the same time frame.  Read more March 16,2010

Free, No Obligation social media consultation

As a result of this emergence online social media consulting is on the rise.  Many brick and mortar companies are not aware of this form of marketing and do not have the time to investigate or research the methods used to create a social presence online.  This is where Island Consulting Corp comes into place.  We believe in building your island in the social media ocean.  Contact us for a free no obligation consultation online or off.  Island Consulting Corp is located in Youngstown, Ohio but is able to consult anywhere via online communication tools.  View our client’s tab above to see some of our clients.  Feel free to join our mailing list to receive more information or contact us for your free consultation today.

Katie’s Korner History
Katherine Martin and her family started Katie’s Korner in 1983. Since the beginning, our focus has been on making and marketing a high quality gourmet ice cream. Our first location, located in a century old house, was the site of manufacturing and retail sales. In 1987 we opened a second store in Canfield, Ohio, which later became our first franchise. Unable to fulfill the requests for products, we expanded again in 1990 with the opening of a retail store and manufacturing plant in Hubbard, Ohio. This facility can manufacture our own specially formulated ice cream mix, as well as a variety of ice creams, sherbets, sorbets, and ice cream pies.

We are not a major corporation, but a niche supplier of gourmet ice cream. We make our products – not just market them. Each product is hand-crafted in our plant to assure consistent quality. Our growth to date has been driven by our products, not by advertising. Currently we produce and distribute over 70 flavors to our retail locations and commercial accounts. Our customers include the prestigious, award winning five star resort, The Greenbrier, located in West Virginia.  Nutritional Information
