Facebook has had a lot of ‘face time’ in the media in the past few weeks.

Some naysayers have even campaigned for a “Quit Facebook Day”.

But, as a business, quitting would be self-defeating when you look at the real purpose of social media.

Facebook has changed steadily since its beginning in 2004. As it matures, it should become more stable, better, and useful for the small business, or organization to get more loyal customers more consistently.

Let’s say you’re a Boston Red Sox fan, and you have a choice of doing business with two different businesses who both offer nearly identical services at similar prices.

Now let’s say one of those businesses is a Yankees fan, and one is a Red Sox fan, and the only way you know this is because of their Facebook page.

Who are you more likely to do business with?

Or, maybe you need some lawn work done, and you can’t do it yourself, and you notice that 10 of your Facebook friends have “liked” a particular lawn care service in your town.

Wouldn’t you be more likely to hire that lawn care company over all of the other choices you have?

Are you starting to glimpse how valuable social media sites like Facebook can be to your decorative concrete business?

Best of all, you can do this for FREE.

Don’t be influenced by the complainers and let them cheat you out of an economical and effective marketing resource that works 24/7 while you are out transforming concrete.

Set up a Facebook page for your decorative concrete business today.

According to Holiday Insights, July 15 is Tapioca Pudding Day. I would be glad to celebrate, but I know the team at Engrave-A-Crete will be right in the middle of July’s Discovery & Training Seminar! July 14-16 is scheduled for hands-on training with the Engrave-A-Crete tools and stain/sealer processes.

Three action-packed days of learning in Engrave-A-Crete’s specialized facility always produce positive results for the students. When seminar closes, they’ve learned an unusual technique that is not difficult. While each class group is different, the hands-on training under the guidance of experienced trainers stays the same.

These experienced trainers and the rest of the staff are positive from the get-go. No yelling, put-downs, rushing or other reality TV garbage. Engrave-A-Crete is a family owned business that LIKES their students and offers success with the sweet syrup of encouragement.

Tapicoa Pudding Day will come around next year for us to celebrate. For this year, call 1-800-884-2114 today to learn how you can reserve your spot and learn the skill of engraving on concrete.

Another reason you want to be at the July seminar: We will be unveiling a very exciting, NEW process… you won’t want to miss it.

You are also enjoying the Groov-E-News newsletter with articles from several departments at Engrave-A-Crete from advertising to management to tech support to templates and more.

I like to use Twitter and Facebook to get the news out about deals such as the “secretcode” or Seasonal Clearance Sales. There is a Spring Clearance Sale going on right now which includes some Demo or Used equipment along with stains, sealers and other supplies. Unlike some other deals, checking on the status of this one simply works best with a phone call to 1-800-884-2114 to learn more about the trailers, tools, stains or sealers on the sale list.

Watch for our Concrete Resurrection ad in an upcoming issue of Concrete Decor magazine that will be in mail boxes shortly after June 1.

Colors on Concrete owner, Marty Meewis was approached by a customer who liked a design seen in Concrete Network where Marty markets his business. The customer asked if a similar design could be done for his eye care office.

Marty replied, “Yes, but why don’t we use your logo in the design instead?” The customer’s response was, “Can we do that?”

The photo shows Marty sure could do it. He used a Mongoose 411 cutting unit to cut the major eye shape on the logo. Then he designed the “people” who make up the ‘pupil of the eye”  freehand with a Wasp concrete engraver.

On first glance, you can understand why this doctor is a satisfied customer. The logo is graceful. The engraving enhances that, plus offers a low maintenance floor advertisement that is in professional good taste.
