Hi! We are a local Flooring Company, focused on retail and residential flooring projects, as well as some shower and bathroom remodels. We are doing some print marketing with a local magazine in Memphis, TN, called Clipper. It features small businesses of all kinds. Last month's edition was overall "successful" with a coupon offering, and we had a lot of form sign ups and generated some new business. Another edition comes out in January, and...

Has everyone seen the update Google rolled out to desktop search pages earlier this month? For a while now mobile has been a continuous scroll experience, but desktop stayed locked into 10 result pages.
Now they’ve pushed that update to desktop results as well. Meaning, instead of clicking to page 2 after ten results… you’ll just scroll on down.
So what?
This small update could potentially drive some big changes for folks stuck at the...


Alternate title: Email personalization is more than simply checking a box.Each of us is a unique individual with specific likes, dislikes, tastes, preferences and life experiences. We can agree that individually, we would prefer to be treated this way rather than being lumped together with the masses.Then why are so many marketing emails sent to 1,000s of people, without considering the person when it comes to personalization? My theory is...

Is there an article about using headers and why they are important that someone can share a link to with me? Thanks!


Does your website have a chatbot?
Is it like every other chatbot that asks "Need help? I'm here if you need me", followed by a wide open text field.
I can hear it now: "but Will, I hate chatbots...they're terrible". Yes, there are a lot of bad chatbots out there, which is why a good chatbot that provides value is a huge opportunity.
Remember the last time you visited a website for the first time? You didn't know the structure, the page...

Generating and ultimately landing sales is all about understanding your customers- which sounds simple enough until you realize that only 13% of customers believe that salespeople understand and care about their needs.
WOW! So, what is it that makes people distrust salespeople?
There has to be an underlying issue somewhere - and if I had to guess, there are two major roadblocks standing in the way:

If you've been in or around the IMPACT universe for any length of time then you know that we place a massive focus on getting companies and our clients to publish 3 articles a week.
As much as we talk about it, I still find that many people don't fully understand the reason why they should be publishing 3 articles a week.
Why not 2? Why not 1? These are the questions that we're constantly being asked.
So here is an answer from our coaches on...

What does being at your best look like? Well for me it's making sure I get to the gym most days of the week. Let me explain why: I've been doing CrossFit for almost 10 years now. I used to coach classes. I even met my husband at a CrossFit gym. If I'm not in the gym, we have a problem; it has a huge impact on how I show up everywhere else in life. So I prioritize fitness because it makes me an all-around better person. It truly is...

"For many of us effective multi-tasking is nothing more than just effective delusional thinking." - Brad Stuhlberg, Peak Performance
Ouch! For as long as I can remember, I've prided myself on being a professional multi-tasker, gaining pure satisfaction from how many boxes I could check off at the end of the day (and I know I'm not the only one). Yet no matter how many tasks I winded up touching in a week, I often found that I was still not...
