In our world of high-tech, fast-paced digital advertising, it might seem like nothing is less trendy than a billboard ad. Believe it or not, though, this kind of highly visible, highly public advertisement is seeing a resurgence in popularity.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Twitter’s reputation has seen a sharp decline in recent years, for reasons that include unpopular changes to the algorithm as well as the tarnished public image of owner Elon Musk. As Twitter’s popularity started to dwindle, a number of new platforms emerged as potential alternatives. None have found quite as much traction as Threads, a Meta-owned microblogging site that launched just last year but already has more than 100 million downloads.
Does your business website collect customer data? And if so, how is that data stored, secured, and used? Do you keep it all in-house, or do you sell customer data to third-party vendors?
When you develop a website for your business, you naturally want it to be welcoming. One of the core functions of any business website is to draw people in and encourage them to stick around, learn more about your brand, and perhaps even reach out directly for further information.
