Many of these have been long established businesses with regular clientele but we have handled a number of start-up ventures too.
As with any "bricks and mortar" business, the trick is to get new customers through the door whilst, at the same time protecting the existing customer base.
The ClickMonkey SaleMaker package is now available for these businesses and is designed to provide:
Local presence on Google maps with clickable link to an info page and images to showcase your business
Promo page to contain special offers with printable vouchers to drive traffic through your door
Business networking with Google Plus
Facebook and Twitter options
Business blogger - build up a loyal following with our "We blog for you" service
Email marketing - keep your customers in touch with development s, offers, etc.
We have also updated our ClickMonkey guides to digital marketing for all of the above businesses, these are priced at only £4.99 and include a voucher for £75 free Google advertising. Additionally, our free of charge Ad templates and optimised keyword lists are fully updated and ready for download.
The SaleMaker packages are still only £29.99 with optional modules for social networking, mobile advertising and monthly support at only £10 each. All packages come with the free Google Voucher, currently worth £75 in free advertising.

Emergency Locksmiths Use Mobile Search & "Click to Call" For Fast Lead Generation
There are things you want, things you really want, things you need and things you absolutely have to have - NOW!
If someone has locked themselves out of their house or car, or the padlock on the chastity belt has just seized up, they need a locksmith, right now.
When this happens are they more likely to be a) sitting at home in front of their computer with a hot drink browsing the internet or b) standing outside, freezing cold, saying rude things and in need of rescue.
Did anyone answer a? Seriously?
No, it's b, b, b, b!
If you provide an emergency locksmith service you can mop up leads from people who will be very, very, pleased to see you and will actually pay you for turning up.
You don't actually need a website but we recommend a mobile optimised one-pager at least. This is included in the ClickMonkey Salesmaker package for locksmiths which you can find here.
Another weapon of mass conversion from ClickMonkey. See also our updated market review for locksmiths with the famous, free, ClickMonkey super-converting keyword list and ad templates.

Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
Well, we do actually!
What time of day is the best time for your website to be visible on Google and other search engines?
"All the time", might be the typical answer.
Let's get one thing clear - if your website appears at, or close to, the top of Google whenever some one searches for a word or phrase that it relevant to your business - you don't need us!
If your 'phone is ringing off the hook with customers clammering to buy your product or service - you must be doing something right.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, people actually are searching for your product in their thousands, (see the latest market activity report for your industry sector here), and not finding you!
That's what's really happening, isn't it?
Here at ClickMonkey we don't, just throw mud at the wall in the hope that some will stick, we work out what type of mud it needs to be, and which wall would be the stickiest. Then we need to know what would be the best day of the week and the best time of day - and the answer is very rarely "always."
All of which leads to this small recommendation, sign up for a ClickMonkey SaleMaker Digital Marketing Program and get yourself a M.O.O (Monitor & Optimise Option) and all of the above good things, (the ones in blue, above), will start to happen.
M.O.O. is the process whereby we monitor traffic to your website as generated by each keyword or phrase and then tweak your campaign to make sure that you are visible at the time of highest sales probability.
Just follow this link to find out more.
Another ClickMonkey "weapon of mass conversion" and it costs less than a round of coffees in Costa for you and your mates, other coffee shops are available - but does the coffee taste as good?

Nail Bars and Tanning Salons - New Keyword Research available
Nail Bars, Tanning Salons, Beauty Salons and Hair Salons are competitive marketplaces in many geographical areas but the level of competitiveness can vary hugely with location. When trying to attract new customers into businesses like these the cost of customer acquisition needs to be carefully monitored in order to maximise return on investment, (ROI).
In addition to a vigorous Google Search campaign an entry on Google Places, (Maps) is essential and is free of charge - click here for help on setting up a Places listing or take out one of our monthly plans and we set it up and maintain it for you.
To dramatically increase footfall into your salons we strongly recommend running ads with a powerful call to action such as our ClickMonkey downloadable vouchers or running an online promotion. Make the promotion available only online in order to be able to track results.
Click here to see our sample SaleMaker Ads that make it easy to offer a discount or free gift, special offer etc. Click here to see our ClickMonkey Downloadable Voucher pages.
Run a mobile campaign alongside the desktop/Laptop search options, many of your future customers will find you from a smartphone, i-Pad or tablet search. For ClickMonkey Mobile packages just follow this link.
New ad libraries and keyword lists for your sector are available here. Latest keyword performance is as follows:
Nail
Note the relatively low click prices for most of these keywords, only one in the list being over £1. Avoid using single keywords such as "nail" as the results are likely to be ambiguous, despite the temptingly high search volumes.
Tanning
Again, relatively low click prices mean low cost conversions should be possible. Search volumes for Tanning have increased since our last summary indicating high interest levels. Although the marketplace is highly competitive there is relatively low competition on Google Search for many of these terms, again indicating low cost customer acquisitions to be available. Turn interest into business, contact us today.
