Website Updates 62% Complete 2/8 Tasks completed

Description
It's recommended that Norton secure their website, determine new web address, and finalize branding. This includes adding a digital certificate (HTTPS), determining the final website address, and the site redesign. 
.Per Chris Timmons / Hyperdrive, here is what to expect with a domain / name change --> 
  1. Build the pages on the new domain name. Some of this may be simply copying code from the current website over to the new domain name.
  2. Set up redirects on all of the current webpages so that traffic trying to get to those pages is automatically redirected to the new webpage(s). This really isn't too big of a deal with Norton as the website doesn't have many pages.
  3. We would then remove the content from the old pages just so there wasn't duplicate content online.
  4. If there is any place where the domain name has been placed that we can edit, we would edit those. This would include email signatures, letterhead, Google MyBusiness, etc.
  5. Lastly, we would notify Google of the change through webmaster tools.
Here is an article on this: https://www.square2marketing.com/blog/how-to-change-domain-names-not-lose-seo In the past, you could take an SEO hit when you do this but if we do it right, we shouldn't have issues. This really becomes a pain for massive websites but Norton is small enough that this won't be an issue.

Description
Email marketing is the BEST way to convert "warm leads" to paying customers. We are offering a "FREE DIGITAL STRATEGY" Assessment to any new email subscribers who opt-in. Norton's 3-part e-learning series also provides great tips & a mini education about digital advertising upon sign up. We've done this in lieu of a blog. I recommend leveraging your Constant Contact subscription to capture leads and educate your new subscribers.
Here are the goals:
  • New Email List:  (DONE, by JLS) create a new email segment in Constant Contact for the Digital Ad Platform
  • Landing Page: (DONE by Jeanette, click to see) -- create a simple landing page (with no distractions) that is designed to collect emails (or "leads") - can be linked during Facebook and Instagram promotion. 
  • Soft Launch Email:  (DONE, click to see) designed as an announcement to send (once) to the existing OOH email list. This comes from Mike Norton.
  • Click Trigger Opt-In:  Designed for clients to opt-in with a simple click, and they are immediately added to the digital advertising list.
  • Welcome Series:  (1 of 3 finished-JLS) a series of several on-boarding emails that are triggered during sign up -this is sent immediately to new digital advertising subscribers.
  • Bright Ideas:  Tom's initiative that comes after all of the above is complete. 1-2 emails per month send to all clients.
Use email content and propagate that written content on the website, in press releases, etc.
