Janine Popick is one of those people I love to root for. Why? Because she roots for so many others. The founder and CEO of email marketing powerhouse VerticalResponse , Popick, doesn’t just talk about supporting the small businesses her company serves; she does it.

Case it point: Popick has recently announced a New Deal contest for small businesses who can compete to win $10,000 worth of cash prizes. Not bad, if you ask me. I could use a few grand for my company. How about your small business? Could it use a little extra cash later this year?

Dumb question, I know. But it’s my lead in to tell you about an event I think you might just want to pencil in on your calendar.

Join Janine and me on Thursday, February 25 at 4pm EDT (that’s 1pm Pacific for those of you on the West Coast) as we learn more about the contest and (maybe, just maybe) Janine’s initial impressions of the submissions thus far.

You can listen live on Thursday by clicking here or you can listen in by phone at that time.  Just dial (347) 884.8912 and select the option to listen in.

If you do have any questions in particular that you’d like me to ask Janine, please post them here on our blog.

Thanks and good luck to all those who enter the competition!

So you've been running a display ad campaign and you're click thru rate is lower than you'd like it to be. What to do? Here are three tips for boosting click thru rates on display ad banners: Add animation Add a clear call to action button Split test different creative variations Regarding 1 and 2, if you have a designer on staff, I highly recommend using either bannersnack.com or canva.com. Both are super easy to use. Bannersnack will allow you to create fully animated html5 banners with solid call to action buttons that are (this is very important) fully compliant with ad serving platforms like the one we use to allow proper click tracking.

Companies large and small are often criticized for acting like inexperienced children or sophomoric students in their approach to social media.  But I’d argue that in some cases, the former, child-like approach, may not actually be as foolish – or childish – as it sounds.
