Your best marketing tool is yourself. Let people get to know who you are and try to share as much as you can about the guiding principles in your life.

More than anything else, customers need to know they can trust the person or people behind a business. The best way to build that trust is to encourage the connection that takes place when we understand each other.

Do you pay a monthly subscription fee for hosting & marketing services for your website? Is it a $50, $100 or even $250 a month "Package?" Do you have questions about what you're getting for your money and if it's really working?

Many of our clients were formerly paying high monthly fees for menu services--some of which they didn't need or didn't even work. They felt trapped because of the hassle of moving their website (which is actually very easy) or they didn't understand enough about internet marketing to know they were getting a bad deal. They came to us when they got tired of writing a check every month...

EE Media Art does not offer "packaged" service contracts that only benefit hosting companies that like collecting monthly fees for plug-in services that are often unneeded or poorly managed. We offer real marketing and Social Media services based on our own internet business and marketing success. We only recommend what we know works from years of experience running online businesses.

Is your business listed in Google Places and on Google Maps? These are two of the easiest and most effective ways to market your business on the internet and they don't cost a dime. Google returns Place and Map listings for most web search. These listings also contribute to improved organic search ranking. It's the first thing I tell clients to do when promoting their businesses.

"When you’ve created something of real value, you don’t need to do any marketing, spend any money on advertising, or push people to subscribe."

Most online marketing people will teach you how to use social media to reach a larger audience, how to use email lists and the scarcity principle and social proof, how to create authority, how to effectively convert pageviews into sales.

This is an example of a simple, but highly effective website every professional person should have. What does your website look like or have you been putting that off?

We tried something new--indoor architectural photography. The general contractor responsible for renovating Supannee House of Thai hired us to photograph his work.

We had no idea about the challenges we would face but plunged in head first. Photographing a dimly lit, complex space with numerous surfaces and color changes proved to be very difficult. Francha is pretty good with outdoor and landscapes but this really stretched her capabilities.

Long story short--Francha rose to the occasion with some help from a new camera (Canon 7D), two new lenses, a new pro tripod and an upgraded, detachable flash plus many hours researching technique and learning the new equipment.

We are very pleased with the results. What do you think?

One of the best ways to distinguish yourself and connect with customers is to develop, construct and tell your story. Every person and every business has a story to tell and it is through this story that people get to know you and gain confidence to take the next step—sign a contract or click the "buy now" button.

Take a few moments to begin discovering and recognizing what your story is. Everyone has unique projects, experiences, situations and attributes that form a unique story. This is a vehicle and pathway that allows clients to comfortably get to know you. Your story is real, authentic and shows your strengths and maybe even a few weaknesses (learning experiences) that demonstrate maturity and wisdom.

Look at your competitor’s websites. I guarantee none of them tell a story that draws a client in. Most websites do absolutely nothing to distinguish the person or business from any of their competitors. This is where we can create a marked advantage for you that can last for years to come.

This is part of a proposal I recently did for a prospective client but it relates well to anyone with a product or service to promote...

Dear Friend,

For some, a website is little more than a fancy business card—necessary, but not intended to land jobs. That’s not what I see or envision for you. Your website will be designed and constructed with one main purpose: to land clients and put money in your pocket. To that end, I think you will discover a website to be one of the best investments you will ever make in your business and yourself.

First, the websites we design look good. In fact, they are often the best looking websites as compared to our clients competitors. When a prospective customer hits your website, I want an immediate “WOW” reaction that instills supreme confidence and lets the customer know you are the person they are looking for. 99% of sales is perception and a decision to buy is usually made within seconds of meeting someone or visiting a site on the web. Without patting myself on the back, let me also add that I am an expert at understanding how a website should look for a particular profession or business and what your customers will be looking for in a website.

Second, the websites I construct are planned and optimized to harvest maximum web traffic from the most widely used search engine: Google. Years of operating in the highly competitive travel web space taught me how to setup websites and web pages that rank very high or even first for popular terms that actually drive business. Every site I have ever built has been successful at driving traffic and creating revenue. I see no reason why that wouldn’t be the same for you.

Third: I understand the value of Social Media and how to properly set you up in that space. I’m not talking about Facebook and Twitter, those won’t help you. I’m talking about popular listing services like Yelp, Angie’s List, Google Business, Google Maps and a variety of other services that are directing tons of traffic to businesses just like yours. This is where customers are searching for products and services today.

The era of a phone book and Yellow Pages is over. When a customer needs something they go to Google and search using a few common terms related to your business and geographic location. When that search is made, it is imperative that you are properly ranked and listed or your competitor is going to get the business—guaranteed!

The websites we produce dominate search results because we have years of experience optimizing for search in very competitive web spaces.

Good Search Engine Optimization will pay dividends for years and is much cheaper than paid advertising.

Put your web development $$ into a great looking site, good SEO and lots of good content. Avoid dumping money into listing services and paid clicks which only guarantee top placement as long as you pay.

This is the final photo panel for Supannee House of Thai. It is 36" x 48" laminated print mounted on Gatorboard, and is a digitally-enhanced photo of a Lily Pond in Balboa Park, San Diego. It will hang in a short corridor leading to the rest rooms.

8 photo panels for Supannee House of Thai. I selected the photos and Francha worked her magic to enhance and bring them to life. These will be mounted in the Banquet Room.

Francha and I just finished a large art installation project for the renovation of Supannee House of Thai in Pt. Loma. Francha created an amazing photo collage that is 5 feet tall by 10 feet wide! She also created a custom Buddha piece that is beyond lovely. The restaurant will be opening soon where you can check out the art and the delicious Thai cuisine.
