Oracle Digital, a SEO Company in Perth releases its most stringent SEO campaigns and tactics in order to help local businesses boost their sales.

Perth, Western Australia (PRWEB) March 03, 2012

A prime example is Party People, a party supply retail shop, has turned to search engine optimisation and they were able to exceed its sales expectations. Their company have had a considerable increase in sales within just a given short amount of time. According to Dean Salakas of Party People, the companys substantial growth in sales is attributed to their SEO campaign, which targeted specific keywords for a particular holiday focusing on people who are looking for party supplies using Google and other sites.

Salakas further stated that his company was able to increase his sales by as much as 50% during the 2011 holidays. In support of his claims, Mr. Salakas added that their strategy was to study and understand specific items that people will be looking for during the appropriate holiday and then adjust the company website to fit these needs.

The example that he gave was during Australia Day shopping - where beach balls, flags, bandanas, and Aussie Stubby holders were among the most popular searches and where most of the sales were made. Because of this tactic the company has been enjoying a large increase in sales on a constant basis thanks to its online store. In a matter of just 5 years, it was able to help the company earn beyond its expectations.

"It originally started off as one or two orders a week, after about five years it moved around 100 orders a month and now we are taking in more than 1,000 orders a month, said Salakas. Party Peoples success is a testament to the wide scope of the internet and its ability to help companies to reach their goals.

In order to succeed online, there is a need to employ the most efficient internet and SEO tactics. Otherwise, the campaign might not turn out to be as fruitful as one may hope it would be.

Telefilm Canada says it wants to offer big money to small projects. The federal agency is introducing a pilot program that would give emerging filmmakers as much as $120,000 to make so-called "micro-budget" movies.

The fund targets low-budget ventures that cost less than $250,000 and are designed for various digital platforms. It would launch this summer.

Executive director Carolle Brabant revealed the plan Friday at the Prime Time in Ottawa conference, a national networking event for film, television, broadcasting and telecommunications industries. She also announced a second fund that would support both emerging and established filmmakers and give tax-receipts to individual and corporate donors who want to back Canuck filmmakers.

Documentary maker Peter Raymont says it's something many producers have wanted to see for a long time.

"There's a lot of people in Canada who care about art and culture and filmmaking and would like to be able to support it and receive a tax receipt," said Raymont, one of Telefilm's consultants on the plan.

Still, the director had qualms about the fund, noting he'd prefer it if donors could put their money into a particular film rather than donate to a slate of Telefilm titles. He suggested that allowing for targeted donations would elicit greater private investment, pointing to the experience he had recently completing a feature-length documentary about painter Tom Thomson.

Raymont says private donors provided almost one third of the $1 million budget for West Wind.

"I think a lot of the success we had raising money for the Tom Thomson film was because people care about Tom Thomson and his art and they knew my work and they trusted me," said Raymont, whose other films include Shake Hands With the Devil.

Raymont also worried that public funding would diminish if the private sector stepped up its investments through the fund, which is supported by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

Once up and running, Telefilm estimates the fund could be endowed with an annual budget of $5 million. It comes into effect immediately.

George has the lofty goals and dreams befitting a budding entrepreneur: He wants a business of his own, easy money, and the freedom wealth brings to put up his feet and retire by the time he is 55 with an income of $150,000 a year after tax.

Back down on earth, George is 23, recently graduated from university and has just landed his first real job earning $35,000 a year plus bonus and other benefits. He lives with his mother in a townhouse in the Guelph area that they plan to flip for a $60,000 profit. He wonders how best to use his share of the anticipated gain.

Georges big dream is to open his own wine bar. He aims to save $70,000 over the next 10 years as a down payment and wonders whether that will be enough to enable him to get the financing he will need. To get a leg up given his modest income, he is looking to speculate in real estate.

Since I want to open a wine bar one day, I figured house-flipping was one way to jump-start a savings plan at the beginning of my career, when the money is still tight, he writes in an e-mail. Mind you, that $60,000 profit he and his mother expect has yet to be realized, and theyd need at least half of it as a down payment to buy a bigger, better home.

George also wonders how best to save for retirement a concern that seems premature given the number of events that could come along and turn his plans upside down, marriage being just one. In a few years, when his income is higher, he hopes to buy a house of his own, which will increase his expenses dramatically.

We asked Kurt Rosentreter, a senior financial adviser at Manulife Securities Inc. in Toronto and author of Wealthbuilding, to look at Georges situation.

What the expert says

First, the house. Dont sell it, Mr. Rosentreter says. The land-transfer tax and legal fees erode value. Stay and renovate. As for house-flipping as a way of making money, Be careful. A real estate correction in the future could leave this ending badly for a young guy with not a lot of wiggle room.

George is carrying a credit card balance, a student loan and a car loan. He should make paying these debts off a priority, the planner says.
