I would like to take this opportunity to thank Greg Weinstein and Swift Business Solutions for their valuable services in designing and implementing my company’s new website. We are very happy with the site and have been extremely pleased with the services provided. Swift Business Solutions offers a genuinely interactive and exciting process of increasing the quality and efficiency of one’s business, while ultimately taking that business to the next level.
Working with Greg was easy and enjoyable. The tasks of building a website can be quite stressful and daunting, especially for those doing it for the first time, and Greg was very efficient at easing the stress and helping to work together for the common goal. One of the advantages I appreciated most about working with Greg was his ability to challenge us mentally. He helped us think outside the box and view specific situations from another point of view. This is extremely important in the development phase, as we built the site with the “reader” in mind instead of just focusing on we wanted on our site. Greg consistently introduced creative and productive ideas focused on our ways to help our business. His communication was outstanding and he consistently made himself available to focus on our needs.
My company and I value Swift Business Solutions commitment, professionalism, and quality of services provided, and look forward to a long lasting relationship in the future.

Today, Google announced a change to its search algorithm that the company says will impact 35% of Web searches. The change builds on top of its previous “Caffeine” update in order to deliver more up-to-date and relevant search results, specifically those in areas where freshness matters. This includes things like recent events, hot topics, current reviews and breaking news items.

No question we are in some uncharted waters in our current business climate. I LIKE IT! In a time like this, it should be pretty easy to set yourself apart from the competition. Below are a couple of things that will make a difference in your business.
- Have a passion for your business or your job – It is pretty important that you like what you do and will most definitely make life more enjoyable. Ask yourself this simple question. Would you buy from you? Remember, you have one first impression! Make it count, you never know who your next customer might be.
- Show you can be trusted – Sure people want a good deal, but not at the expense of being able to trust who they are doing business with.
Recently, I saw the movie Courageous. In this movie Javier (played by Robert Amaya) was up for a promotion. All he had to do was commit to fudge on some numbers every now and then and the job would be his. After considering the needed commitment to gain the pay raise, he declined making the commitment to be untrustworthy. Only to learn that it was a test from his employer, that five other interviewee’s failed. His honesty won him the respect of the owner and the new position.
- Be flexible, except with core values – It is a given that plans and strategies will need to change. Being flexible is a huge advantage over some larger competitors. Core values and business practices should not be part of this flexibility, no mater what the demand for profits is.
- No Guts, No Glory – Everyone that has achieved any level of success, has also endured a fair amount of failures. Step outside of your box, be seen and take calculated risks. “In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.” ~ Bill Cosby
These are just a few of the thoughts we keep close to the vest here at Swift. Please feel free to share some of yours.
Two months ago, The Pepperoni Express pizza chain, owned by Smoke Restaurant Group, called on the team at Swift Business Solutions to develop a web presence that could keep pace with their growth as they expand into their second location near Lake Bowen in Inman. The website now serves three locations with the introduction of the newest store located on the south side of Spartanburg County, in Cedar Springs.
“The website had to meet a couple of needs we saw developing, unique menu differences between the stores and showcase the variety of our Express Pizza combos and the twelve different Monster SJ Submarine sandwiches. We wanted our customers to be able to see and taste our food as they considered their options. People can surf our Pizza Gallery, Submarine Gallery and get a good idea of what they will be getting when they order from The Pepperoni Express chain.
Greg and his team, did just that!
The Swift Team now plays a big role in providing website traffic data and has started overseeing our social media interaction. They have allowed us to focus on what is going on in our stores, while they manage our marketing efforts. It is a great partnership! Greg and his team bring a can do attitude, a unique approach and a refreshing perspective that is very helpful. It is a great partnership! ”
Does your website need some updating? Perhaps you are buried working in your business and can use a team like ours to assist you with web presence or deployment of other marketing efforts including management of social media. If so, please contact us by simply calling or emailing today.
Google was originally a misspelling of a word that already exists in the dictionary: “Googol.” A googol is defined as a very large number, specifically 10 to the 100th power. Googol was supposed to be a name that would be indicative of the titanic amount of information on the Internet that the company sought to organize. The misspelled domain name “google.com” was still available, so the company settled on “google.” Now, both words are in the dictionary, but most consumers only ever use one.
This month Swift Business Solutions introduced it’s Fan Appreciation Page.
Our facebook fan page is designed to stay in touch with our friends, fans, clients and prospects.

With over twenty years in the graphics industry working with hundreds, possibly thousands of different businesses. One thing that I can say with great confidence is, “A business with no sign, is a sign of no business.”
A building or lobby sign is something a business needs. However, today an argument can be made that a clean easy to navigate website is just as important. Many businesses small and large still consider their web presence more like a virtual business card and fail to take advantage of all of the amazing opportunities there are.
Your web presence is most likely to be the first place a new client is introduced to you or your business.
- What does your first impression look like?
- Is your contact information easy to find?
- Is your content up-to-date, fresh and relevant?
- Do you describe your business products and services well?
- Would you do business with your company after a first look?
If any of your answers are not positive, then it might be time to spend some time updating your website. Web Development is certainly something that Swift Business Solutions does. However, we are more focused on assisting our clients on updating and keeping their website up-to-date.
Showcasing projects that you have recently completed in your gallery/portfolio is one of many great ways to keep your client and first time visitors tuned into how you are shaping your industry. It is important to show that you and your company are an authority in your field.
There are no “silver bullets” for SEO (Search Engine Optimization). However, fresh content is something that every professional web development company will tell you is a must to rank well on Google, MSN, Yahoo and all of the other search engines. Although, any professional web marketing company will confirm that your content being updated frequently, several times a month if possible, is very beneficial.
Swift Business Solutions is actively seeking companies that would like assistance in maintaining their web presence. Does your website need to be updated or content refreshed? Take advantage of our offer for a Free Consultation to review, discuss and develop a Swift plan of attack to bring your website to a position that you, Google, MSN and Yahoo can smile about and cause people to talk about.
