We are thrilled to announce over 50,000 local businesses now subscribe to HOT!Content™.  HOT!Content enables businesses to engage, build and retain a community of customers and prospects with relevant content; reputation monitoring and digital advertising. “We are excited to have reached this milestone,” said Kurt Strumpf, COO, “but we’re even more excited about the recent explosive growth of our subscribers. In the past year alone, our base has doubled – a trend that we expect will continue.” HOT!Content subscribers receive a daily email with curated content by industry; reputation monitoring and digital advertising services.  With HOT!Content, businesses experience how to build a loyal community and leverage that goodwill to grow their customer base. “Small business owners were hearing a lot about the potential of digital, but they didn’t really understand how to use it and learning how wasn’t high on their priority list,” said Strumpf. “We knew we had to offer them something that they could use ‘out of the box,’ that would deliver immediate results.” Andy Anderson, President of FASTSIGNS in Rochester, Minnesota sums up the enthusiasm subscribers have for the service: “Engage121 solutions keep my business active and current with engaging posts. And a lot of people are reached. It is definitely working. I love it!” “As our users’ confidence grows utilizing HOT!Content, so does their willingness to explore our paid digital marketing management and advertising subscription services, like our Digital Marketing Assistant solution,” says Strumpf. “It’s a mutually beneficial approach that helps keep both our clients and our company on the leading edge of this ever-evolving technology.” With assistance from Picos Creative, our digital marketing solutions are designed specifically for the more than 25 million small businesses in the U.S. and Canada; including both franchised and independent local businesses in the real estate, financial and professional services, early education, direct selling, retail, restaurant, fitness, beauty sales, and home services industries, among others.
