A Military Discount Helps Your Sales
Do you have a plan to reach your military community? Will a Military Discount help? Does your business Strategy include a military discount? What is strategy? To better help me explain why a business should offer a military discount as part of their marketing plan I did some research. Strategy is from a Greek word and basically outlines the policies of the organization to meet goals! Goals like: how much in sales, revenue and profit do we need to keep our doors open? That is what I am talking about! So after establishing some policies, we then need to plan to fulfill our strategy and meet our goals!Why should I…

Autoposting on Facebook
I just read an interesting article on SocialMediaToday that I know is quite appropriate for our Business Partners. On average, Facebook Pages that show posts via a third party app such as HootSuite or TweetDeck, as opposed to linking the old fashioned manual way, receive 70% fewer likes and comments. Linking to your Facebook Page via auto post is a very common and time saving practice and while I have dabbled in it, for the most part I stay clear from it for the simple reason of posting via an auto post just doesn’t look as good or as appealing as doing it manually – posting a link directly from your…

Getting the word out to the Military Community
I want to reiterate how thankful we are for our MilitaryAvenue Partners! You are the businesses and the communities that support our military and their families. They need to know you stand behind them, beside them and with them. (As a military spouse, I can tell you, that thought is from the heart!)

The part that lets the military know about the support they can find in their community. So how do we spread the word for you? Military Discounts Page.
