Happy New Year! We hope that 2021 is filled with health, happiness, the end to the pandemic, and for your personal and company data to remain secure. We have had a plethora of calls regarding scammers trying to use OMA Comp and other institutions such as banks and the government to try to get you to reveal information, so that they can steal your identity. If you are unsure who you are speaking with or receive an email link you are not expecting, it is best to hang up and call your contact’s phone number.  Be aware that scammers try to rope you in by saying that they are your IT company, your marketing company, your bank, anything they can to gain your trust, so that you give them access to your private data. Providing information can cause you millions of dollars in damages, stolen identity, loss of revenue, credit card fraud, social security breach, and more. We urge you to be aware of these scams. Scammers are on the rise, and many people fall for them. Don’t let it be you.

We recommend the  3-2-1  backup strategy; at least three or four total verifiable copies of your data, two can be local but on different mediums, and two copies off-site. Back-up monitoring and verification is recommended but a disaster recovery must be in place, because you can still get infected, and data recovery is not guaranteed. Data loss is very real. Talk to us about the best approach for your business. Contact OMA Comp IT support for more information.

As the popularity of online shopping continues to grow, so does the importance of reviews. More people rely on the opinions of their fellow consumers to help them make decisions about purchases than ever before. Over 90% of consumers read online reviews.

Why Are Reviews So Important?

Reviews are a powerful tool that can make or break your product. Approximately 40% of consumers form their opinion after reading only one to three reviews. That means your first few reviews could convince a consumer to buy or scare them away forever.

Having a place where customers can voice their opinions can also build trust. Around 63% of customers are more likely to purchase from your site if you display user reviews. Many sellers have found that having reviews posted has earned them an average sales increase of 18%.

Mobile Makes Reviewing Easy

The first step to getting more reviews posted is to make the process as quick and easy as possible. Many businesses turn to text reviews. A request can be sent to a mobile device as a text message with a link for posting feedback. It reminds them to follow through, keeps your business on their mind, and lets them share their experience for future customers to read.

Text reviews can grow your reputation. They show that you are well-established and trustworthy. It also lets consumers post faster, which means you get results sooner. If you have questions about text message marketing and reviews, let us know. We can answer questions and provide expert advice and services that will grow your business. Contact OMA Comp today to learn more.

Instagram has solidified its position as a serious marketing and networking app. It’s a great place to build an audience and share product or service-related information. The platform currently houses over 200 million active monthly members giving around 1.6 billion likes daily. Being new on Instagram can be intimidating. What can you do to build your brand and your customer-base on this fast-paced social network?

• Take Your Hashtag Offline – Cross-promote your online presence with your offline network. Include your brand’s hashtag on business cards, receipts, signs, and in print ads.
• Talk to The People – If you are new on Instagram, then you need to get out there and interact. Use a mix of popular and long-tail keywords to reach more people. For example, make sure you use a trending hashtag like “#photooftheday,” “#instagood,” or “#tbt” to get involved in bigger conversations.
• Write Interesting Photo Captions – Storytelling is essential to getting followers. Make sure your photos are accompanied by a great caption that grabs attention and makes the user want to see more.
• Follow Your Industry’s Influencers – Turn on post notifications for the biggest influencers in your industry or niche. Make a point to interact with them when they post. Do this regularly to help get your name out there and build a relationship with that influencer.
• Control Your Tagged Photos – Under “Options” and “Photos of You” is an option to “Add Manually.” Turn this on so you can control which tagged photos show up on your profile. This will allow you to display your best performing or most engaging content.

Being new on Instagram doesn’t mean you won’t get noticed. Use the tips listed above and contact OMA Comp to discuss your internet marking goals and needs.
