When we launched these three sites in March, we couldn’t have possibly imagined what lay ahead: snow, snow, and more snow. In fact, it was the third snowiest April in Minnesota history (which dates back to the turn of LAST century!) So if we’re a little late in announcing our March launches, cut us some slack – after all, we spent the month of April shoveling. Anyway…
Steel Tech Incorporated, a Coon Rapids, MN-based custom steel fabrication company, launched their new Cazarin-built website on March 28. It’s a sharp-looking website – please check it out: www.steeltechmn.com.

Twitter has been described as a microblogging service. Each microblog, or tweet, is comprised of up to 140 characters. Unregistered users can read tweets however only registered users can post tweets.

Clients, colleagues, employees, friends, and family:
This month Cazarin Interactive celebrates its 15th anniversary. It’s hard to believe that the thriving business I own today is the same one I started on April Fool’s Day in 1998 in the basement of my Maple Grove home with one programmer (who is still with Cazarin today!) and one designer. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to be sure it’s real.

What happens when you have developed a branding identity that doesn’t match the branding image you are portraying to your audiences? Continue Reading »

For many, this case has been long closed. If you are a consumer facing organization without any footprint in social media, you’re losing money. The only question is how much. This question of quantifiability is what keeps many of the more conservative CEOs from committing to the social community.
Luckily, tracking the profitability of your social activity need not be left to nebulous number crunching, or the intern’s best inference. There are several simple tactics you can put in place that can help you link your profits to your profiles. Continue Reading »
