It has been a few weeks into 2012 and if we had to guess, we would say that by now, at least 85% of you have ditched your New Years’ Resolutions. The tradition has been talked about constantly the past few weeks and New Years/Business Resolutions were even trending topics on Twitter. (Oh, you didn’t know that? Is it because your business isn’t on Twitter? If not, please read on.) But, quite frankly, we are tired of the empty New Years’ Resolutions that typically fail before the glitter hits the ground and the celebration is over.
So, we decided to present to you a New Years’ Challenge. We are taking it here at IP and invite you to join as well. What is the challenge, you ask? Diving head first into the world of social media. We have harped on it to clients and in our blog and though we have a social media presence, it is time to take the next step, making it a daily habit to not only continue our growth, but to maintain stronger and longer-lasting relationships with our clients and peers. Also, it is a way to better promote our services, partners and valued clients, while learning about the latest news and topics pertinent to our business. Since we started increasing our presence in the social media world, we have already seen exponential traffic growth to our website and the results have been exciting.
Still not sure how 140 characters or status updates will help your business? Check out a previous blog post about small businesses and social media; the numbers don’t lie. You can also pick up the phone and call us at 215-478-6586, or send us a Tweet @InverseParadox! We believe in the business power of social media and would be more than happy to help you establish a better social media presence. It can be a lot of fun and empowering, not to mention it is FREE! So, are you willing to take our 2012 Business Challenge?

Oh, infograrphics! They are fun, eye-catching, and actually keep you interested in statistics for more than five seconds. We recently came across this fun and informative small business and social media infographic from crowdSPRING and wanted to share it with some of our clients.
The point has been hit home a million times, “Social media is good, social media can grow your business, social media is FREE – use it.” But, until you see verified results, it can be difficult to dive in head first to the social media realm. And, while it is free, it can be time consuming, especially if you are unsure of how to leverage it. And, how are other small businesses leveraging it? Why does it work for them? Well, cS breaks it down for you in their nifty infographic. Check it out here.
Highlights of small business & social media facts & figures include:
-Almost ½ of small businesses have successfully connected with new customers through social networks. Conversely….only 36% of medium sized businesses and only 28% of larger companies have been successful.
-Gary Vaynerchuck, a social media fanatic, spent 12 hours a day engaging with online marketers, taking his father’s small New Jersey liquor store from $4 million to $50 million in earnings through social media alone.
-51% of Facebook users and 64% of Twitter users are more likely to buy the brands they follow or are a fan of.
The rest of the results and accomplishments illustrated in the infographic continue to portray endless possibilities for small business growth via social media. So, how is your company leveraging Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.? If you are not taking advantage of social media progression, or are unsure how the social media landscape could benefit your boutique business, get in touch with our Philadelphia web design company today. We’ll help you with the ins-and-outs to propel your business to the next level.

We harp on it a lot, but we can’t stress enough the importance of keeping your site secure. And, with the rumbles of hacking we have been hearing about across the web, it is more important than ever to keep your site up to date with the latest security features. This informative article relates back to a previous blog topic we wrote about which is WordPress, in particular, WordPress security. It should be stated that WordPress powered websites are very secure when you properly update your files and plugins. Security is comprised when things are outdated, this is also true for getting viruses on your computer when your browser and security software isn’t updated regularly. Our Philadelphia web design company has been hearing a lot about sites hacked and it is not just because of the host, the server or the website itself, but because updates are not being properly maintained.
So, if you have a WordPress powered site, there are plugins and tips that Web Design News claim are essential to tighter WordPress security. While some of these are more obvious (pick a strong password and unique user ID, limit the amount of users, etc.) this is a easy to understand list of plugins you may not have heard of that can keep your site protected from hackers. Also, one of the best things about WordPress is its immense user base and community backing, so if you see a bug or notice a security vulnerability- report it!
If you have further questions about WordPress security or would like more information, check out some tips at Web Design News or contact our Philadelphia web design company today!
