Confused about this new BOI report thing? ⁣⁣Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. I’ve been getting tons of questions about it over the weekend.

“Do I need to file one?”

Do you know if you own the copyrights to your logo?

Many individuals come to me wondering whether I can help them in trademarking their business names. A large number of these individuals have already invested money into their businesses without first considering if their business name was 1. Available for use and 2. Distinct enough to be trademarked.

In order to be protected, your business name must identify and distinguish your product/services from others. No one wants to hear that the odds are against them in having a successful trademark application so consider these 5 steps in determining whether your business name will be approved by the USPTO.

Looking to trademark your logo, name or a slogan? Schedule you free consultation today and let’s get your protected.

“No, I don’t have any lead magnets on my website…is that important?”

Lead magnets are basically a free resource or deal that you’re giving to your website visitors in hopes that they’ll leave their email addresses.

I ALWAYS recommend to my clients that they (1) have mailing lists (normally new clients do not) and (2) they give something in order to persuade individuals to sign up for those mailing lists. These sign ups turn into potential sales leads anytime you send out a mailing list email to promote your new product, service or sale.

So what makes a good lead magnet?

1️⃣ Give something useful. Keep in mind your audience. What would they consider valuable?

2️⃣ A Straight forward Call-to-Action. Tell them what you want them to do. Let them know the best action to take next and how they can learn more about your products or services. Also be sure to let them know how to remain in contact with you should they have questions.

There are so many types of lead magnets that you can use so it can be easy to get overwhelmed. Need assistance deciding what would be best for your business? Use the link in my profile to contact me or schedule a consultation.

Yes, forming an LLC offers your business some protection, with asset protection being at the top of that list, but forming your LLC does not mean that someone else will not end up using your branding or have a similar business name.

When you register a trademark, you can legally protect your business name and/or branding from theft and misuse by others. Your exclusive rights to your intellectual property are more easily enforced and more effective in preventing others from making money off of your business and branding.
