'Ask Suzen' Wants Your Small Business Questions

New column can help your business enter the 21st century.

Welcome to the first post of the brand new Ask Suzen column, where I’ll be answering your small business questions and helping you not only survive but also thrive in the 21st century economy.

It’s a tough business climate out there, and right here in the northeast we are feeling the pain. Ask any small business owner who isn’t selling generators.  Even the generator business has its peaks and valleys, but we are happy for them this year.

We are constantly being asked questions pertaining to marketing in general, online marketing, Search Engine Optimization (from here on in, SEO), building websites, optimizing websites, creating blogs, search engine marketing, transitioning from off to online marketing, social media for businesses, email marketing, lead generation, or just getting started.

The Patch has been nice enough to encourage this column, or forum, in an effort to create dialogue, answer questions and be a resource for the local businesses in and around the Greater Danbury area. Beginning this week, feel free to send in your marketing questions, whether they be technical or more broad based, by either emailing Suzen at Suzen@omaginarium.com, or by writing them in the comments section below each weekly Q and A, and be sure to include your website (if you have one) or your business name and we will link back to you, in our answer, hence promoting your company as well.

We are looking forward to providing usable information rich content to help you grow your business.

Carpe Diem!
