The Benefits of the Arts in Arlington

1/29/2020

0 Comments

 

By Janet Kopenhaver, Embracing Arlington Arts 

Picture
​It is a pretty well-known fact that arts and culture is immensely beneficial to a wide range of community sectors in Arlington. For example, it has been proven that students who have arts included in their school curriculum score higher on SATs and tests, and achieve higher GPAs. Also our nation’s Veterans suffering from PTSD greatly benefit from art therapy to help them adapt to civilian life. Seniors tend to stave off neurological diseases better, those suffering from physical disabilities and mental health challenges are better able to cope with their afflictions, and those recovering from illness heal faster – all due to the inclusion of arts and culture in their daily lives, and the list goes on and on. For more information on the numerous and diverse benefits arts and culture plays in our communities, states and nation, check out the “Social Impact Explorer Wheel."

Support Consumers’ Desire for Inclusivity by Making Your Website Accessible

1/8/2020

By Raegan Bartlo, User1st
Picture
Time and time again, consumers prove that they value and frequent those companies that take an active, inclusive approach to their business.
Accessible public spaces now include the burgeoning online marketplace of information, goods, and services. That’s right: websites are the new doorway to your business, and the headlines reflect this change. For instance, in a recent victory for disability rights, Domino’s was denied a chance to appeal a ruling stating that it must make its site and app accessible.

This just underlines that, in the digital age, while an accessible site will enhance your brand and extend your market reach, accessibility also demonstrates your business’s willingness to empower those with different and changing abilities.

Lead Nurturing: Keeping Prospects Engaged During Your Sales Cycle

1/1/2020

By Justin Gooderham, Dalton Digital 
Picture
Closing deals and making sales is what keeps the doors open and the lights on for any business. But what do you do when your sales cycle isn’t immediate? How can you continue to stay top-of-mind with the prospects who have shown interest but aren’t quite ready to commit? 

​Perhaps you’ve been in a situation where you’ve had a great initial phone call with a prospective customer. Then, a few days later, you sit down with them to further understand their needs and pitch them on your service. Just when you’ve moved in to close the deal, the prospect hits you with the Heisman stiff arm and says they aren’t quite ready to commit. It happens in business, often.
