AutoWill significantly modernizes how people can write their Last Will and Testament. It’s cheaper than a couple of glasses of wine and it can be completed incredibly quickly.

AutoWill was created for the convenience of those who don’t always get around to doing the laborious tasks in life that are sometimes put at the bottom of the priority list, if on the list at all. This innovative app enables people to write, store and edit their Last Will and Testament free after an initial purchase of the app from iTunes.

Considering only 7% of people die before the age of 50, it is understandable that so many neglect this important task. It can be forgotten for many reasons including oversight, inconvenience, not getting around to it, and cost. In the case where no Last Will is written, ones estate can be given to the wrong beneficiaries, and in many circumstances, the estate is taken by the government.

When Nigel Manley, manager of The Rocks Estate, wanted to create a new tour of the historic property, he knew where to turn for help. Manley has been working with local Web guru Veronica Francis at Notchnet Web Services in Littleton, NH for more than five years to provide the best online services and information to Rocks Estate fans and potential visitors.

“We always try to keep things fresh, and our Mobile Tour is a fun new way to explore the farm, said Manley of the latest way to discover the 1,400-acre Christmas tree farm, which also serves as the North Country Conservation and Education Center of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Veronica has been a great help in getting programs off the ground and inspiring me to keep looking at new opportunities in Internet marketing for the farm.

The new Rocks Mobile Tour uses Quick Response (QR) code technology. The codes, which look like squares of abstract black and white designs, are posted on signs at each of the 13 stops on the Mobile Tour. When visitors snap a photo of the codes with their smartphones, information from each Mobile Tour stop appears on the phones screen.

The Mobile Tour reveals interesting snippets from the propertys history and historic buildings, information on current wildlife habitat and forest management, and tree facts about the three types of Christmas trees growing on the farm.

Although his focus on growing Christmas trees, providing experiential tours for visitors in all seasons, and coordinating a variety of natural education programs keeps Manley busy, he strives to use the latest technology to share the beauty and rich history of The Rocks Estate. To that end, Manley maintains a Facebook page and a Rocks Estate Blog and works with one of his employees to develop regular and informative YouTube videos about the property.

In an information era where people rely increasingly on the Web to get information about everything from where to vacation to how to get there, having a grasp on the latest technology is paramount to successful marketing.

Its really not enough for most businesses to simply maintain a Website anymore, Francis said. With social media, smart phone technology, and all the ways people search for information its really important to have a dynamic online presence.

Notchnet was founded in 1999 by Francis and her husband Charles Flanders as a Web design and hosting company. In the years since, the company has evolved along with Web technology to offer Web marketing, E-commerce, mobile sites to work with smart phones and tablets, and social media training and support.

Francis and Manley worked together, along with Manleys daughter Linnea, to identify places of interest throughout the property, which was once the home to the well-heeled Glessner family. The QR Codes allow visitors to view images of the Estates original buildings and explain each featured buildings history and modern day use. The Mobile Tour also shares the staffs knowledge about different Christmas tree species and their attributes even when there are no Rocks employees nearby to answer questions.

Its a really fun and easy way for visitors to learn about The Rocks, whether theyre here to select a Christmas tree, visiting our Maple Experience museum, or just exploring our trail network, said Manley. History is very important to us at The Rocks, but we try to be a little bit cutting edge, too.

The Rocks Estate is the North Country Conservation and Education Center of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests The Forest Society is a non-profit membership organization founded in 1901 to protect the states most important landscapes and promote wise use of its natural resources.

The landmark 1,400-acre Rocks Estate includes numerous buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places and offers Agri- and Eco-tourism opportunities throughout the year. For more information please visit http://www.therocks.org.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Last month, FingerMarketing, a North Vancouver based social media and web development company launched its Bronze, Silver and Gold plans aimed at small businesses that do not have an effective social media presence.

A lot of small businesses have a Facebook page or a Twitter account that are never used, explained Alykhan Virani, FingerMarketings founder. He added, “These (Facebook or Twitter) tools were probably configured by some nephew or employee, and I am sure the owner doesnt have the time or a clue what to do or does not have the patience to get involved.

Alykhan got his idea after spending a number of months in his neighborhood, interviewing small business owners about how much they used social media. He was very disappointed at how small businesses were losing out on business due to their lack of social media involvement. He also discovered that 97% of the small business owners did not have or understand what a mobile website was and how advantageous it was to have one.

As a result he founded FingerMarketing, a company that combines social media and mobile websites in a unique and innovative way unlike anything currently offered in the market.

The company offers its clients a Bronze, Silver or Gold plan.

The BRONZE plan is the basic package. It includes a mobile website with 10 pages and a Facebook and Twitter icon that when pressed, takes the user to the business Facebook wall and Twitter feed. Clients get an ad free site, a .mobi domain, analytics, 24/7 support and a redirect script which automatically sends the user to the mobile website if browsing from a mobile phone, or to the PC website if browsing from a PC or laptop. The Bronze package is similar to what is currently being offered by a majority of the mobile website developers.

The SILVER plan contains all the features of the Bronze plan and adds an extra page on the mobile website in which to display a menu, price list or describe a service. The client also gets a Facebook fan page with i-frames. The Facebook page effectively becomes the business’ website and marketing tool. Today, Facebook is the best place to reach shoppers as of those online shoppers who engage in social media, 80% use Facebook. The fan page is a very powerful tool that can be used by the business to effectively engage with its customers.

The GOLD plan includes all the features of the Bronze and Silver plan – the mobile website and Facebook fan page – and includes another innovative feature currently unavailable anywhere else. Because many small businesses owners are either too busy or unfamiliar with how to post or what to post on their social media platforms, in this plan, FingerMarketing posts a specified number of Facebook posts and Twitter tweets per month for them.

Silver and Gold plan subscribers can also opt for a Gowalla, Yelp, Foursquare and Google Places account, which is configured and subscribed for them by FingerMarketing. This level of location based social media integration offered clearly defines the difference between FingerMarketing and other social media and mobile website developing companies.

FingerMarketing Inc is a Canadian based mobile website and social media optimization company. The CEO Alykhan Virani built his first professional Web site in 1998 and began working professionally in building Websites and SEO since 1998. He has developed and implemented web strategies from Fortune 500 Companies to small local businesses.
