January 21, 2010 WESTBOROUGH, MA – Wakefly, an innovative, award-winning web development and online marketing firm, today announced the successful launch of a campaign geared toward life sciences companies, including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical devices, and contract research organizations (CRO). The goal of the campaign is to help life sciences marketers maximize their company’s website and online marketing ROI.  Learn more about how Wakefly’s services will help life sciences companies maximize their website and online marketing ROI.

Many life sciences companies are beginning to embrace social media due to the increasing popularity of the Internet as a research tool. In fact, a survey fielded by The Science Advisory Board and co-sponsored by BioInformatics, LLC and PJA Advertising + Marketing, found that 77 percent of life scientists participate in some type of social media, including blogs, podcasts, wikis, Twitter and Facebook. This survey also found that 72% of life scientists consider company websites to be the most trusted source of information for their purchasing decision.

“The first step to become a winner in this paradigm shift in life sciences marketing is to ensure that you have a website that can be found by your target market”, said Jeff Demers, Wakefly’s search engine marketing practice group leader. “The next step is to build a dynamic, engaging website that encourages visitors to reach to you.”

To help life sciences companies launch websites that deliver a positive ROI, a s part of the campaign, Wakefly is offering a free, customized, comprehensive search engine marketing assessment. In addition, Wakefly’s search engine marketing team will conduct a 30 minute conference call with each respondent to flesh out the assessment’s findings and recommendations.

Wakefly’s search engine marketing assessment looks at five key areas for successful online marketing, and provides up to 10 concrete recommendations to improve your website and online marketing ROI. We look at:

1. Usability and Navigation:

a. Is each page no more than a few clicks away from the home page?

b. Is your home page the page with the highest exit and bounce rates?

2. Search Engine Visibility:

a. Are all the pages within your site indexable by the search engines?

b. Have you identified keywords that your target market is actually using to find solutions like yours?

c. Are the correct keywords being utilized in all the right places?

3. Converting Visitors into Qualified Opportunities:

a. Has your analytics been installed properly?

b. Do you have appealing offers on all your sub pages?

4. Design:

a. Does your home page do a good job of telling the visitor who the company is/what it does?

b. Does the look and feel of the website lend credibility?

The Internet has become the resource to find medical information. Nearly everyone begins their search for medical information with Google, Yahoo, Bing or another search engine. In preparing each free, customized search engine marketing assessment, Wakefly’s search engine marketing team looks at the key components to getting one’s site indexed in the search engines and found by one’s target audience. The assessment also looks at whether website visitors are converting into opportunities, and if not, will tell you why. The recommendations contained in Wakefly’s assessment are customized and specific to your individual website; no cookie cutter, canned report here.

This campaign will provide life sciences marketers with the information necessary to maximize their website and online marketing ROI.

In either case, your best chance for success is to get your beloved diamond jewelry.  Diamond jewelry is the best and clearest way to let your wife, fiance, or girlfriend know just how much you love them.  But with anything so expensive, and perhaps especially with diamonds, you need to fully educate yourself before you buy.  There are many unscrupulous jewelry sellers out there just waiting to prey on the uneducated diamond consumer.

Here are some quick tips to ensure that you get the best quality diamond available at the best price possible:

1) Buy online.  I know it might sound frieghtening spending thousands of dollars on a small piece of jewelry without seeing the actual product.  But the simple fact is that there are dozens of very highly regarded websites selling high quality diamond jewelry these days.  Each one is significantly cheaper than your typical bricks & mortar diamond jewelry establishment and the quality is usually nicer.

2) Don’t go overboard with diamond color and diamond clarity.  Out of the “four Cs” of diamond grading that everyone learns about, the two that least affect the physical appearance of the diamond are color and clarity.  Differences between adjacent color grades are extremely fine, and usually cannot be detected when the diamond is set face-up in jewelry.  The range of color that best balances a white appearance with value is H-I.  Likewise with clarity - once a diamond is clean to the naked eye, there is no added benefit to the diamond’s beauty to upgrading in clarity.  A diamond can’t become more “eye-clean.” It either is, or it isn’t.  So your best bet is look for an SI1 or SI2 diamond clarity graded stone.

Following these tips, your are sure to have a happy (and successful!) Valentine’s Day!

Garden City, NY (PRWEB) November 23, 2009 — NAPW released the results of its first-ever membership poll of the fastest growing professional women’s association in the United States. The NAPW poll indicated that professional women, now more than ever, are turning to skills development and enhanced peer and mentor networking to help combat the economic downturn.

The National Association of Professional Women released the results of feedback from nearly 1,000 members selected at random from NAPW’s 40,000+ members. The outreach was designed to better understand the benefits and services professional women currently use most, are most satisfied with, and want to take greater advantage of in the future.

NAPW member responses indicated a strong desire to connect with and learn from other members - - through such services as newsletters, webinars and such web-based offerings as video interviews with business and lifestyle experts who impart insightful tips that are relevant to professional women. NAPW also found that their members seek access to discount programs for products and services for their professional and personal lives.

“We have every reason to believe that NAPW’s member-responses are indicative of the needs, wants and desires of professional women across the United States,” says Matthew Proman, the association’s president.

“The results of our outreach demonstrate that there are several key NAPW benefits that professional women use most often and are most satisfied with, as well as other benefits they want in the future. Additionally, member input reveals critical areas of interest that organizations like NAPW should focus on even more,” notes Proman

“Given professional women’s interest in connecting with other professional women, locally and at the national level, organizations like NAPW would be wise to enhance both online and direct-contact networking opportunities,” says Proman. “NAPW will be adding increased levels of sophistication to our existing online networking applications and will be making it easier for those members seeking mentoring to find mentors in their field of interest,” states Proman.

“By December 2009, NAPW members also will be able to interact and participate locally in thirty local National Association of Professional Women chapters, in addition to the 13 chapters that already are operating,” says Proman. “In addition, we are looking forward to organizing more conferences and live events at both the local and national levels,” he says. The organization has also embarked on an NAPW TV (http://vator.tv/pitch/show/napw) page online, as well as an NAPW Merchant Circle (http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/NAPW.516-877-5500) and NAPW Twitter (http://twitter.com/napwinc) Page to further allow members to interact.

To help lower the cost of products and services for professional women and their families, NAPWPerks, a member-only discount program, has recently been upgraded, offering members significant cost savings on the most comprehensive array of products and services from retailers from around the country. Explains Proman, “This offers professional women a direct opportunity to attach, head on, many of the challenges the current economic downturn has created for businesses and families alike.

November 16, 2009 WESTBOROUGH, MA – Wakefly, an innovative, award-winning Web development and online marketing agency (http://www.wakefly.com), today announced the successful introduction of a campaign for medical device companies designed to educate professionals on how to drive and convert qualified website traffic.
As an integral part of the campaign, Wakefly offers an Internet lead generation toolkit. This kit provides practical information and advice on information architecture and usability, including:

1. How to arrange home page elements to lead visitors deeper into your site
2. Layouts for sub pages proven to maximize lead conversion rates
3. Tips on developing offers that will appeal to a wider range of visitors
4. Explanations on data analytics and the most important data to address

Utilizing the Wakefly information architecture program will result in greater “stickiness,” meaning increasing numbers of qualified visitors and more conversions. The natural result is additional sales for companies in the medical device industry. Medical research firms have studied how doctors seek information on medical devices. These studies show that the Internet is the primary resource for medical professionals researching medical devices. Therefore, as more hospital workers and doctors use the Web to learn more about various medical devices needed in their practices, website design becomes critical to the success of medical device companies. Understanding how to build a website that follows best practices on information architecture and Web lead generation will be keys to success.

The Wakefly campaign will offer medical device marketing veterans the tools they need for online lead generation.
