The air’s a little crisper, the pumpkins are back on porches, and spooky season has officially arrived in the River Valley! Whether you’re decorating the house, hunting for costumes, or just looking for local Halloween fun, Fort Smith and the surrounding towns have plenty of ways to get into the spirit. Here are some of our favorite spots to check out this October.

Get Your Home Halloween-Ready

If you’re the kind of person who turns their front yard into a full-blown haunted house, or just loves a cozy fall vibe inside, these local shops have you covered.

The Party Place

You can’t go wrong with a stop at The Party Place. It’s basically Halloween headquarters, costumes, decorations, fog machines, inflatables, and every spooky detail you didn’t know you needed. Go early though; once October hits, the best stuff flies off the shelves fast.

Fort Smith Regional Art Museum

RAM always gets creative this time of year. Keep an eye on their events, they usually host family craft days, pumpkin painting, and art workshops with a fall twist. It’s a fun way to celebrate the season while supporting local arts.

Kopper Kettle Candies

If Halloween had a scent, it would be caramel and chocolate and Kopper Kettle has both covered. Their caramel apples and homemade candies make perfect treats for parties, teachers, or anyone who deserves a little sweetness this season. Bonus points: they usually release special fall flavors in October.

Fort Smith Popcorn Company

For a snack that’s equal parts festive and nostalgic, Fort Smith Popcorn Company is a must visit. They roll out fun fall flavors every year (caramel apple, pumpkin spice, and more) and package them perfectly for gifts or movie nights. Grab a few different kinds and make your own “spooky-movie survival kit.”

Belle Starr Antiques & Vintage Market

If you’re tired of cookie cutter Halloween décor, head to Belle Starr Antiques. Between the vintage skeletons, retro pumpkins, and quirky old-school decorations, you’ll find something that gives your home just the right mix of spooky and charming. Every piece has a little bit of history and that’s what makes it special.

Crouch Estate Sales

If you’re heading up toward Northwest Arkansas October 24 – 26, make a quick stop in Lowell (Exit 78 off I-49) for a can’t-miss in-person sale. The home is less than a mile from the exit, so it’s an easy and worthwhile detour for anyone out treasure-hunting this fall. Whether you’re furnishing your home, looking for a conversation piece, or just love a good weekend find, this sale is worth the short drive. Check out more details here. 

Fall Flavors & Local Finds

Fort Smith Farmers Market

The market is full of fall color this time of year, local pumpkins, gourds, mums, baked goods, and homemade jams. It’s the perfect place to grab everything you need for decorating (or baking) while supporting local growers. Pro tip: get there early for the best pumpkin picks!

Amazing Graze 

If you’re prepping for a Halloween gathering, a cozy fall get-together, or just love beautifully arranged food that steals the show, Amazing Graze is your go-to in Fort Smith. Handcrafted charcuterie & cheeseboards, custom-designed for any occasion. Fun seasonal specials: for example, their “Bloody Mary Boards” that pair gorgeously with a spooky-themed gathering.

Fort Smith Coffee Co.

Nothing says fall quite like a warm latte in hand. Fort Smith Coffee Co. rolls out its seasonal favorites each October, think pumpkin spice, maple brown sugar, and caramel apple cold brews. Their downtown shop has that perfect crisp-morning vibe for catching up with friends or taking a breather before the next Halloween errand.

Harvest Moon Bakery

A fall staple in the River Valley, Harvest Moon Bakery fills the air with the scent of pumpkin pies, spiced breads, and warm pastries. Their baked-from-scratch desserts make any gathering feel like home. Stop in early in the day — seasonal favorites like pumpkin rolls and pecan pies sell out fast.

Tiktok is a social media app that lets you create short 15-second videos” These videos can be shared on other platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Tiktok is also an excellent platform for promoting a business because its user base is very engaged and growing steadily. It has over 4 million monthly users, with more than 1 million active users daily.

Tiktok is a great way to market a business if you really understand it.

You’re probably wondering, “What is Tiktok?”

Tiktok is a social media app that allows users to create their own video content. It’s similar to Snapchat and Instagram, but it’s unique in some ways:

• Users can view live videos and text messages from the people they follow.
• There are no limits on how many followers you can have or how many posts you can make daily.

So let’s get started!

Set up your account

To get started, you’ll need to set up an account. To do this, you need to log in using your Facebook or Twitter credentials. If you don’t have one of these accounts, create one now (don’t worry if it’s not a business account).

Once your business is set up, you can begin creating content for TikTok. First, decide what username and cover photo you want to use. Your username should be unique and meaningful so people can associate it with your brand—if there are multiple businesses with the same name on TikTok, chances are they won’t find yours! Choose wisely!

Next up is adding some basic information about yourself before diving into content creation—namely bio details such as contact info and website URL links. You can also choose which category best describes what kind of work/content viewers will see on their feeds by selecting from options like “Fashion” or “Foodie”.

Make use of the features.

Here are some tips for using TikTok to your advantage:

• Use filters. The app offers a range of filters and effects you can use to give your video a unique style, so take advantage!
• Add stickers. This is one of the most fun features of TikTok, but also one of the most effective ways to make your content stand out from others in the same category. You can turn any post into an animated meme by adding stickers that match its theme or tone, like “weird” or “funny”—or create a whole series of posts around just one sticker by asking users what they think when they see it (for example, “Is this creepy?”).

Find your niche

Once you’ve set up your TikTok account, it’s time to start thinking about what kind of content you want to produce. This is where we start getting into your business’s actual promotion and marketing strategies.

You should ask yourself: What niche do I want my content to be in? Do I have any interest or expertise that would make sense as a niche? What are other people already doing on TikTok in this area? If there aren’t many people doing it, is it because no one cares about the topic or because they don’t know how (or haven’t thought of) making videos on that topic yet? Is there something else I could do better than existing competitors?

Take advantage of trends.

You can also take advantage of trending topics, which could be a great way to get your name out there. For example, if you’re a hair salon and see people talking about the “cute bob hairstyle,” you could create an ad featuring a model with this cut. Another way to use trends is by simply following them. If you want to know what people are viewing and responding to on TikTok, use hashtags like #todaysth hashtag and #tiktokmemes.

Share consistently

To get your content seen by as many people as possible, you must post consistently. Don’t share a video on the same day of the week or at the same time every day; instead, find a schedule that works best for your business and stick to it. The most successful users post once or twice a day, but if your business is only active during certain hours (like a restaurant), try sharing videos at different times throughout the day.

The more often you post new content, the more likely people will see it—but don’t go overboard! Your followers might get tired of seeing too much from you in their feeds, so don’t make them feel overwhelmed by posting too frequently.

Engage with other users

You can also use TikTok to engage with other users, whether it’s commenting on videos or messaging them directly. The dynamic is similar to that of Instagram: you can like someone else’s post and leave comments, encouraging them to come back and see how their content has been received.

If you want your followers to take action, ask questions in the caption of a post or video. This gives people something specific they can respond to and start a conversation around; it makes them feel like they’re being heard by the brand they follow and by their friends who watch the same video (since others are likely commenting on similar topics).

Tiktok is an effective, fun tool to promote your business.

Tiktok is an effective, fun tool to promote your business. It’s a great way to get in touch with your audience and have them engage with you. But there are some things you should know before investing time into Tiktok and working toward building an audience there:

Make 15-second videos

Make your videos short, sweet, and to the point. This is a platform where people are looking for entertainment, not five-minute-long speeches about your business. Try to keep it under 5 seconds or shorter if possible as this will increase viewers’ chances of watching it. Do you have any questions about TikTok or want tips on making better content? Feel free to ask us any time!

Check out what people are viewing and responding to

You can use the analytics on TikTok to find out what people are watching and adjust your strategy accordingly. For example, if you see people watching your video but not responding to it, try making it a bit more casual or humorous (or even different). You can also see which tags people search for when they’re looking for videos like yours—use this information when coming up with tags for future posts!

Use the hashtag challenges.

• Hashtag challenges are a great way to get yourself noticed. The best part is that they’re free, so you don’t have to spend money on advertising.
• If you’re smart, you can use the hashtag challenge to your advantage and use it as an opportunity to create new followers or increase engagement with current followers.
• Hashtag challenges are also a good way to build your brand by keeping people interested in what’s going on with your business every day.

Tiktok is a powerful tool for marketing your business. You should be able to use its features to reach potential customers and build a loyal customer base. Remember that it’s not just about making videos—you need to engage with other users and respond to comments on your posts (especially if they ask questions). To succeed with this platform, you need a strong understanding of how it works and what makes it unique from other social media apps like Instagram or Snapchat.

Google Docs is an incredibly useful tool many people don’t know how to use. While its ease of use and functionality makes it a great choice for anyone looking to write and collaborate on a document, there are still several ways to get more out of the app. In this post, I’ll show you some tips and tricks for making your Google Documents work harder for you!

Creating headers

You can add headers in Google Docs. Headers are the first line of text in a paragraph that’s automatically bolded and centered by default. You can create your own headers, which is useful for organizing your work and making it easier to read. Headers aren’t the same as titles—titles are used to name slides, documents, pages, and tables but don’t appear anywhere else in the document (they’re used by screen readers).

Researching a topic in Google Docs

When you’re researching a topic, it’s often helpful to have all of your sources in one place. That’s where the Research panel comes in! You can use this handy tool to quickly store and organize research related to your document. The Research panel works like any other Google search bar, with one major difference: It searches only in the web pages you’ve saved through Chrome. If you want more flexibility, try using the Search function instead.

To add a new source to your study guides list:

• Open up your document and click on “Research” at the top left of Google Docs. This will open up your Reference Manager (also known as “My References”).
• Click “Add New Source” on the top right side of the screen—this will bring up a box asking for an URL or file name for a new reference entry; enter information into form fields as needed; hit Enter or press Add when done entering data into form fields; repeat steps above until all references are entered into the sheet.*

Adjusting margin widths

You can adjust the width of your document margins by clicking on the ruler above the document. Click and drag to modify, or click on the ruler and type in a new number. You can also use this same method to change the font size as well! In addition to the evolving margins, you may need to change text alignment or add line spacing (space between lines). To do this, click on File > Page Setup to open up a dialog box allowing you to make these changes.

Adding images

To add an image to your document, click the “Images” button in the Docs toolbar. This will open up a window where you can import images from your computer or Google Drive.

• To resize an image, select it and use the resize handle at one of its corners. You can also type in specific pixel dimensions (10×8).
• To align an image on its own line or with other text: Select it and hover over the right edge until you see two horizontal lines appear above and below; drag them into place as needed. Alternatively, click anywhere inside the box containing all text until you see green arrows appear around it; pull these into alignment as required. For more advanced alignment control, such as centering or nudging items relative to each other (or another object), use [Ctrl] + [Shift].

Adding tables

You can add a table to your document by clicking on the Table button and dragging your mouse across the screen, then adding rows and columns similarly. You can also change how cells are aligned, which is helpful when you want to center text or align data.

Adjusting font sizes and colors

If you want to change the font size and color of the text, select the text you want to change. Then, click on Aa (a button on the toolbar) and pick a font size and color. Click OK when finished.

Linking to other pages

One of the best things about Google Docs is that you can easily link to other pages in your document. This works for links within your document as well as external links.

• Linking to another page: To link to another page in your document, simply click the link icon (the chain icon) or press Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on macOS and select a link style from the dropdown menu. You can also right-click a word or phrase and choose “Create Link” from the pop-up menu if you prefer using keyboard shortcuts. Once you’ve selected where in your document you want this new link added, begin typing its URL—if it’s already entered into another section of text within Google Docs, just click Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac) when done typing so that it takes over control of whatever word it was placed over; otherwise move through each word until finished entering all necessary information before clicking Enter again!

Footnotes

Footnotes are a great way to add additional information to a document. They can be used for citations, different definitions or explanations, and other useful tidbits of information.

To add footnotes in Google Docs:

• Select the content you want to footnote, then click on Insert > Footnote. The footnote tool will appear at the bottom of your text box with an asterisk at its end; immediately start typing your footnote’s title as soon as it appears. If you’re adding more than one footnote, type over “Footnote 1” until it reads “Footnote 2.” Each time you type in another asterisk-marked line, that number will change and let you know how many total footnotes have been added so far (this is only available if there was already a previously inserted footnote).
• To ensure all of your footnotes are numbered correctly when they appear on the screen: Go to Settings > General Settings > Footer options > Show footer numbers. Select Yes, then click Save changes.

Google Docs is an incredibly useful tool many people don’t know how to use.

Google Docs is a powerful tool that many people don’t really know how to use. It’s super easy to use and can be accessed from any computer or device with an internet connection. In addition, you can collaborate with other users on documents simultaneously, making it a great choice for group projects.

There are so many reasons why Google Docs is so popular: you can use it for writing long papers or short letters, for research, for presentations, and even creating simple greeting cards! If you’re interested in learning more about how this tool could help your organization save money and time, give it a try! It’s free and easy to use.

Even if you don’t use Google Docs every day, it’s a great tool to have on hand. You never know when you might need to collaborate with someone or create an outline for a report at work or school. Hopefully, your next experience with the software will be more productive with these tips and tricks!

Ensuring your website works for you is important if you’re trying to grow your business. Although many marketing efforts focus on the internet, a well-designed and functional website can help you succeed in ways other channels simply can’t. From improving your website’s load times to updating the design elements, many changes will help your business grow through its online presence.

Clean up your navigation menu.

Clean up your navigation menu. Your navigation should be simple, easy to use, and consistent across all website pages. It should also be easy to find on the page (like right under the logo above the top of the fold). Oftentimes, people get stuck on a website because they can’t find what they need or don’t know where things are.

To help prevent this problem, don’t take up too much space with your main navigation bar and submenus. If you need to include a lot of links, consider using menu buttons or dropdown menus instead of putting them all in one long list as shown below:

Optimize for mobile devices.

Mobile devices are used more than desktops, and your website should be optimized for them. Responsive design makes your site look good on all devices, including smartphones and tablets. You can also use a theme that is specifically designed to work well on mobile devices. If you don’t want to make changes to the code of your existing theme, you can use tools like Google Analytics to see how people interact with the site on different types of phones – this will help you decide where there might be problems that need fixing.

Optimize your site load times.

We’ve all been there: you’re ready to make a purchase, but the page takes forever to load. As soon as you click “check out,” your mind begins to wander, and suddenly, you’re on a different website altogether. As a result, you’ve lost interest in whatever product you were about to buy—or worse, it makes you angry that the site wasted so much of your time with its loading speed.

Page load times are critical for all web users because they impact every step of the customer journey and contribute directly to conversions and retention rates. A study from Kissmetrics reveals that each extra second of page load time results in up to 7 percent fewer conversions from search engine queries.*

So how can small businesses optimize their sites? The first step is ensuring that pages have fewer external calls (i.e., links that connect back outside of your domain). These types of calls slow down how quickly content loads when visitors view; therefore, reducing them will improve overall performance metrics like conversion rate (CR) while impacting customer satisfaction metrics like average order value (AOV).

Use a strong Call to Action (CTA).

You can also use a strong CTA to help guide customers to the next step in the sales funnel. For example, if you are selling a product that offers free shipping, try adding an image of a bag being packed up with the words “Shop Now” as your CTA. This type of action-oriented imagery will help drive more traffic to your site and increase revenue without spending money on ads or pay-per-click fees.

In addition, make sure that your CTAs are relevant to your audience and easy for them to understand what they will get once they click on them (e.g., download our free guide).

Improve your website’s content.

Let’s talk about content. You’ve probably heard the phrase “content is king,” and you know that it’s true—but did you know that content is also the most important thing to consider in the process of growing your business?

• Content helps you get found in search engines.
• Content helps you convert visitors into customers.
• Content builds trust with your customers and loyalty with them over time.

Use persuasive copywriting to guide customers along the sales funnel.

You should also use persuasive copywriting to guide customers along the sales funnel. A good way to do this is by using a strong CTA (the call-to-action that asks for an action, such as a phone number, email address or form submission). A strong CTA can be used at each stage of your sales funnel so that customers know exactly what they need to do next.

Employ A/B testing with customer segmentation.

• A/B testing is a method of comparing two versions of a webpage to improve the performance of your website.
• Customer segmentation helps you identify the most valuable segments based on their purchasing history, behavioral patterns, and other data points.
• A/B testing can help you identify which segments are most valuable to tailor your messages accordingly. For example, if you have an email marketing strategy and want it to be effective for everyone, send emails about upcoming events or products that people may be interested in buying. But if you’re running an online store like Amazon or eBay where customers are browsing products they might purchase at any time instead of looking at specific items they want (such as concert tickets), then it may be better to only target those who visit frequently or who have purchased something from your site recently because they are more likely to buy again soon.

Make your website design consistent with all marketing materials.

Consistency is important to your website’s success. If you want to build trust and brand identity, your website should match the rest of your company’s marketing materials. This means that it should be consistent in tone, layout, and design and include similar information as other sites owned by your business.

It also means that if you’re targeting an audience with a specific demographic, such as millennials or retirees, then all their products need to speak directly to them in their language—not just content-wise but conceptually too! The easiest way for customers to get confused or turned off by a website is when there isn’t any consistency between one section of content on one page and another area on another page — especially if those two sections belong together under one umbrella topic title (e.g., “Healthy Eating”).

Update your website regularly, using responsive web design techniques.

Now that you know how important it is to keep your website up-to-date, let’s talk about ways to use responsive web design techniques to ensure it looks good on all devices.

Responsive web design is a technique that allows your website to adapt to different screen sizes. This method allows designers to create separate layouts to accommodate various resolutions and orientations. In other words, they build separate designs based on the device being used and display them as needed. This approach offers several advantages:

• It makes sure your site looks great no matter what size screen someone might be viewing it on;
• It helps ensure that users can easily find what they’re looking for; and
• It maximizes usability by making navigation more intuitive

Updates to your website can help you grow, especially if they are done in conjunction with other marketing efforts.

As a business owner, you always look for ways to grow your business. Web site changes can help you do just that. While you may think that making updates to your website is only about making it look nicer or more professional, there are actually many advantages of updating your site beyond aesthetics.

For example, web content can be optimized to appear higher in search engine listings. Updating the content on your website can also help improve customer satisfaction and conversion rates. A well-designed website will have an intuitive user experience and easy navigation so visitors can find what they need quickly and easily while browsing through your pages; this way they won’t lose interest before they find what they came for!

We hope you’ve enjoyed this overview of some of the key changes that can be made to your website. Remember, though, that a great deal depends on your own unique situation and business needs. If you are unsure which changes are right for you, consulting an expert or looking at examples of websites in your industry that have been successful with their updates may be helpful.
