Recently, I have been reflecting on the news about the plight of the Black community.  From the news that I read, the direction of our social and economic progress seems mostly backward.

Here are some samples of bad news.

Here at www.imaginerpower.com, we know that business owners are facing a harsh reality: A website in itself offers no assurance of business.   ”If you build, it they will come” is a cliché that has misled many into believing all a company needed was an online presence to succeed. However, without a strategic marketing plan and a tactical approach, you’re more likely to fail than to reach your goals.  Proper planning will not only improve your chances of success, but it will also keep you from throwing away money on e-commerce fiascos.

 

The first step of planning is to
