<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Chances are you went to see a web/graphic designer, that’s why. .. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">No I have nothing against the creative geniuses that graphic designers are, right the contrary and a matter of fact I employ a very large numbers of them. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">But let’s face it the job of a graphic designer is to make things look good, not necessarily understanding your business objectives, target demographics, human behaviour, call to actions, conversion rates, cost of client acquisitions and more&#8230;</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Yes all the above needs to exist on a strategic plan and a wire frame needs to be created with the appropriate calls to action. So here is a small tip to make it work for you, I always compare the Internet with a shop front. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Imagine yourself walking into a shopping centre, there is a store on the right, but the door is closed and there no light in the window, will you push the door to get in? Chances are no&#8230;</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">So to make it work, you need to think about what will make you push the door. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">First the door should be open and products with a great price tag should probably be positioned next to the front door, then clever lighting will take you through the store. Now that you are inside the store the next challenge is the human interaction with a sales attendant that will present the products with a polished vocabulary without selling you. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Apply the above metaphor to your website and you will be open for business. Professional Internet X2 Partners are trained to use my techniques to build powerful solutions that deliver real results. </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><a href="http://www.x2world.com/didier-grossemy.aspx"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Didier Grossemy</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> <span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">says, we all know that the Internet has revolutionized communication and brand positioning. Great!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Yes the Internet is creating new phenomena of communication that anyone can instantly use.</strong> </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Take the example, someone goes into a “Brand X store” or “Business Y” and makes a purchase of an item to discover later that the same item is not to the buyer’s expectation.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In a minute that same person will send a “Twit” from his/her mobile phone (small message to her Twitter account) will tell 100 people that will tell another 100 that will another 100 and the list goes on. In about 30 minutes 1,000,000 people will know about it and then individuals in social networks and social bookmarks of all sorts will pick on the information and will put their own spin, before the press and news gets their hands on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So yes, this is a dramatised situation, but think of this&#8230;is your brand and business really safe? </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">You have now 1,000,000 pages talking about you. How do you control the information flow, how do you stay on top? Can you really?</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In this age of instant communication, where the voice of one reach many, an organisation, brand and product managers needs to address seriously the issue in order to survive. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>So what do you do now?</strong> </span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Create a new job function – maybe something like a “Social Media Director” and hire a team of “Social Media Optimizers” and if it is all too hard then outsource the services. But the point is&#8230; can you afford not to be in control? </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The Internet has definitely created a problem to businesses of all sorts when one single disgruntled employee or client can spread a rumour and like a Chinese whisper will reach a massive audience without any justification or even proof. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know the line of the famous James Bond movie, Tomorrow Never Dies, “There is no news like bad news”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check the TV News or Newspapers and you will understand what I mean. When is the last time you read or heard good news anywhere? </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">To counter the effect or better, managing the potential issue you must create your own good news. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes you can be your own TV channel and your own magazine. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Embrace it and be in control by creating and joining:</span></span></span></strong></span></p>
