Iowa Get Your Business Online

Monday and Tuesday of this week, our very own, Shannon Appleby was asked to produce the www.Iowagetonline.com sizzle video for Google in Ankey, Iowa.  This event is being done in every state across the country to help small businesses get online and Shannon was contracted by Pro Video in Cedar Rapids, IA. to be the Producer of the video.

What does a Producer do?  The producer is the person responsible for making sure that the right equipment is chosen and brought along, the Producer does the interviews with the on-camera guest or talent, and they also decide the look and setup of the shots.  The Producer is responsible for making sure that it all comes together in the end.

Google had a quota of 20 interviews with the attending guests and Shannon was able to attain 26 interviews over the two days including that of Iowa Lieutenant Governer, Kimberly (Strawn) Reynolds as well as Rob Denson, DMACC President and CEO.

The event was a huge success with over 500 people attending over 2 days and setting up their own FREE website with the help of Intuit representatives and online software.  The Googlers on hand helped individuals to learn more about Google Adwords and Google Places and helped them setup accounts to get started.

Also on hand were many supporting partners such as the Des Moine SCORE representatives to assist these newly started businesses as well as seasoned businesses that have been around for years. There is still time to attend one of these events, check out www.Iowagetonline.com to see the other upcoming events in Iowa.

One of the biggest suprises from the 2 days was what Shannon found out as for statistics... According to Google and the State of Iowa numbers, over 59% of Iowa businesses are still not on the internet with any kind of digital presences. This means that 6 out of 10 businesses are still not reaching their potential with customers that are looking for their goods and services on the internet.
