1. Dynamic Shopping – Content, Conversion, Analytics Mike Allen, President, Shopping-Bargains.com, LLC

2. Vision – Long-Term, Equity-Building Master your domain – don't just sell billboard space (be creative and original) Provide solutions (scratch an itch) Build your own brand (if Mom can't brag then go back to the drawing board) Nurture relationships (think marriage and not just a quick date)

3. Implementation - Assemble the Best... Use existing tools & services – why develop your own? (“tastes great, less filling”) Deliver something uniquely you (compelling content that hits the spot) Continually innovate – try new things (but don't neglect the bread and butter) Expect to fail sometimes (“if at first you don't succeed, try, try again”)

4. Results - Always Measure & Improve Invest in analytics & testing tools (don't overdrive your headlights) Use them (no pain, no gain) It's a continual process (wash, rinse, repeat) Think big (“aim high”) Enjoy your work (stop and smell the roses)

7. Why Analyze? Knowledge is power. (You can’t improve what you don’t measure) Your competitors are doing it. (Do you have the competitive advantage, or do they?) It’s as easy as 1,2,3. (Track, Look, Act)

8. Track. It’s easier that you think. (Find solutions to analyze faster, cheaper, and deeper) ‘ Set it and Forget it’. (Quick to implement, little maintenance once set up) Measure Everything. (Paid: PPC, Display. Unpaid: SEO, eMail, Social Media

9. Look. Review Often. (3 minutes-a-day, at least. More often, if you’re big or serious about growing) Use the right tools for the job. (Big or small, there’s tools to work smarter, not harder) Listen. (The data will direct you…)

10. Act. “ Knowing is half the battle”. (Doing is the other half) Inaction is costly. (Pay for ads? Your losing money somewhere, find it and save it!) (Not paying for ads, your losing out!) Use the right tools for the job. (Again, there’s tools to work smarter, not harder)

11. Act Two… Rinse & Repeat. (Until desired results are achieved)
