As an e-commerce entrepreneur, switching to WordPress and Woo Commerce (from Pinnacle cart) opened up a massive amount of opportunities for my business. As an end user, while the learning curve was a bit long, the result was well worth it in terms of the growth that was achieved over prior systems. However, achieving the best results came from understanding how plug-ins and structure can be a tremendous help in taking advantage of opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Now on the WordPress developer side, helping small businesses and non-profits incorporate WordPress into their digital marketing and customer experience efforts, organizing the &#8220;building blocks&#8221; of WordPress, via content, site structure and utilization of plug-ins, can make a huge difference when running a small business successfully. In other words, understanding your own business opportunities and challenges when using WordPress, and understanding your client&#8217;s business opportunities and challenges if you are developer, is key to utilizing WordPress to the fullest as a valuable digital marketing tool towards achieving business marketing and revenue goals.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"wcorg-session-links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/2018.jacksonville.wordcamp.org\/files\/2018\/04\/richard-ruth.pptx\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSlides\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-851\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tPlugins On Purpose\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wcpt-session-meta\">Presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/jacksonville.wordcamp.org\/2018\/speaker\/john-rehg\/\">John Rehg<\/a> in Using WP (215).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How to Choose the top 10 Plugins you will need based on your website purpose.

Having your brand present in the moment when they are looking for a solution to a problem with the right content to help them is challenging. Without a marketing strategy and plan, your company maybe missing out on these key moments and choosing your competitors instead.
