“The Seven Deadly Sins”
or how askMK.net will improve your business
1. Envy
With a channel on askMK.net, the days of jealously looking over at your rival’s new website will be well and truly over. The built-in ability to host videos, photo galleries and blogs means that, for less money than most websites cost to build, you can have a multi-functioning, highly professional place on the web.
It’s easy to use, quick to set up and might just get you a jealous look from your competitors.
2. Sloth
Record a video diary, film a ‘documentary’ on your employee of the month or upload pictures from the latest company away day: whatever you do, let your clients and contacts know what’s going on at your workplace today.
Communication is now easier than ever and that makes it just as simple to tell which companies have the professional ethos and attitude that’s required. With askMK.net you’ll be able to show the world that there is never a lazy or wasted moment in your organisation.
3. Lust
Until recently the majority of the Internet was just a sprawling library of different kinds of porn sites (it’s now a sprawling library of different kinds of social networking sites). So whether you’re tempted to ogle yourself or are worried for the moral strength of your employees and colleagues, the constant presence of an internet connection can have negative consequences of reduced efficiency and paranoia.
Luckily, askMK.net provides a range of possibilities that should keep even the most depraved member of your team engaged and on task. With local companies and organisations spreading their news and uploading their latest content, you’ll be able to find the best partners to strengthen and invigorate your brand. Networking and sharing best-practice amongst ‘dot netters’ won’t just be interesting and informative; it will help you reach the next level of success too.
4. Greed
In a time of recession, it’s important to batten down the hatches to protect your business and protect jobs: that’s what’s happening all over the western world. At askMK.net, we know this doesn’t mean businesses stop caring about the impact that they have on their community and the world beyond.
We already host channels for Willen Hospice, the NHS and other voluntary and not for profit groups and by signing up for your channel you’ll be placed next door to these great organisations. Seeing their latest projects or getting in contact with the right person, you’ll be able to learn how your business can fulfil its corporate social responsibility without having to call in the creditors.
Whether its giving up a morning to plant trees or providing a free service to a favoured local group, askMK.net lets others know that yours is a business with a heart.
5. Pride
Every now and then it’s great to look back on your achievements and feel a sprinkling of pride but, in today’s fast moving world, it should never last longer than that.
Sign up to askMK.net and you will be at the forefront of the constantly evolving online revolution. By giving your company its own channel, you’ll be part of an elite group of web-savvy, like-minded organisations who are destined to be swimmers in the modern sink-or-swim climate.
Yet don’t feel secure about that: stand still too long and the ground beneath you will begin shift and change. Putting yourself up for examination amongst other online innovators means that, to be truly impressive, you’ll have to stay one step ahead... always.
6. Wrath
You know the drill. You spend ages on a marketing campaign, record an accompanying video and wait for your clip to go viral. Over the coming weeks your video's hit rate starts to gradually climb. Then, one stormy Wednesday evening you decide to watch your video on Youtube and have a rather nasty surprise...
The vast majority of social networking sites are not moderated and free to all. That means that the hard work and money you invest, creating a professional and exciting campaign, can be ruined by an amply-bosomed lady or fart-lighting teenager. In short, you can’t choose who’ll share your search terms and sit next to you on the ‘recommended viewing’ tab.
And that can make even the most mild-tempered of us get angry.
Not to worry though. askMK.net is (and always will be) a professional website for networking and showcasing the best businesses and organisations in the Milton Keynes area. Our exclusive group of members all want the same thing: to have a reputation online which matches their reputation in the ‘real’ world.
askMK.net is the site that makes that happen.
7. Gluttony
Okay, so we’ll let you have this one. Becoming a member of askMK.net means you get more for your money than you’ll believe. The only challenge will be to make the most of it all.
Hosting regular blogs from members of your team; Letting customers have a photographic glimpse ‘behind the scenes’ of your company; Getting your team to record and upload video diaries about what projects their working on: the possibilities are huge.
So as your making cuts and tightening the belt of your business askMK.net will allow you a little online gluttony to keep you smiling... Enjoy!
