We had clients, partners, and staff volunteer for the big Stuttering Association for the Young (SAY.ORG) George Springer All Star Bowling event on Monday. This amazing event was to support CAMP SAY: The Summer Camp for Young People who Stutter. It’s so important that kids and teens who stutter have an accepting place to enjoy an amazing summer – just like other kids. Special Thanks to everyone for your contributions and support!
That’s our great partner Kathy Norris-Hall of the USPS (L) with our Joy Z at the SAY.org event.
That’s our Angel Wiener’s fiance’ Angel Vierna (L) with an Astros staff member at one of the event promotion nights at an Astros game.
We had a fantastic group of entrepreneurs and partners at our SOLD OUT Summer Seminar Series, Marketing for Small Business: Social Media class today. Our Angel Wiener conducted this class which covers how to determine the value of a “Like” or “Follow, how social media can bring new clients, (even to a B2B), and how social media can create revenue.
We keep our classes to a maximum of 15 people to ensure personalized learning and maximum interaction.
Many thanks to our students for attending AND their fabulous contributions! See you next week for our TWO MAILS: Email and Direct Mail class.
Google’s buy buttons are coming to mobile search within the next few weeks, the company announced at a New York City event today. Business Insider reports that the new feature, which lets you order items directly through sponsored results on Google Search from your smartphone, is called Purchases on Google. Your payment information is stored directly with Google, and the company also hosts the checkout pages that come up whenever you tap on a product ad.
To start, Google is partnering up with “a dozen or so” retailers, who will handle order fulfillment and be able to customize Google’s purchase page with their own logo and familiar branding. Consumers can also search for other items within these dedicated retailer sections. Purchase on Google will gradually expand to include more retail partners in the United States through the rest of this year and into 2016.
Google is taking other steps to assist retailers and shopping apps. Among them is deep linking; Business Insider says Google Search will now send you directly to eBay and other apps whenever you tap on a sponsored search result from that respective retailer. Search is also getting smarter about responding to natural voice queries that are related to shopping, and Google Now is adding two new cards: one displays product reviews and another helps you track a product’s price so you can jump on it whenever there’s a sale

The new USPS delivery standards for First Class and Standard Mail that take effect on July 1, 2015 have been published. However, we have continued to experience slow delivery both local and regional, especially with standard mail. We encourage our clients, especially those mailing to promote scheduled events, to drop your mail an extra 7 days earlier to ensure timely delivery of your marketing mail! We will continue to keep you apprised of delivery in the coming months as we prepare for the upcoming back to school and holiday seasons.
New delivery standards for Standard Mail will take effect on July 1, 2015. See below for details:
