Rykr Steel Launches An App

Rykr Steel is launching an app that can be of great use to anyone in the steel industry. Our app has multiple notifications that can be set to let the user know when the price of raw material and coiled steel dips below what you might be paying currently. Our app streams the stock market pricing on steel, foreign and domestic, in real time. This keeps the user up to date every minute of the day on what effects the business that were in. The Rykr Steel app also has a competition site tracker. You can enter the url's of competitors websites and our app will extract the information you want to keep your eye on and deliver it to you in the format most useful to you. Now instead of visiting multiple competitors websites hunting for the information you want to keep up on, you can just open the app and check your feed. This allows you to spend more time on what matters. We highly recommend you download this app and give it a try. This app is a form of advertising so it costs nothing. Visit our homepage to download today!

This app would not have been possible a year ago. I took a social media marketing course at CVTC in eau Clair, Wi. I feel that was one of the most eye opening experiences in my higher education today. I learned how to use all the staples of social media. BlogSpot, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest, and a few others. I would recommend using all of these outlets while advertising a business. The multi-media strategy does work. I have seen it first hand and I can't stress enough how important this is to a business in todays world. Reaching potential customers used to require an advertisement of some sort that would preferably be seen by your targeted audience. This required a company to spend money on a billboard or a magazine ad space which required someone to buy that magazine or drive by that billboard. Now we can reach those customers on their mobile device with out spending a dime. These ads can also be constantly updated at anytime for no cost. This is amazing.

When I started this class I was a bit worried as I don't use much social media besides Facebook. The time it took me to accomplish 1 blog, 10 tweets, 4 Instagram photos and 5 Facebook posts was embarrassing. I now can do it properly with-in a respectable time and I am proud of my work. I can also take a picture and incorporate text and apply filters to that image when needed. I now like sitting down to do my social media homework. I will be using what I learned in this class as much as if not more than any other thing I learned at CVTC.

Rykr Steel &Trada Art Studio Present's

Rykr Steel and Trada Art studios are working together on a community project to serve the environment and entertain the community, as well as provide some creative and useful art. A contest will be held for the most creative lawn furniture/art made from scrap steel provided by Rykr Steels recycling lot. Here are the details of the contest:

The purpose of the contest is to make steel or metal lawn furniture and or art that can be used in a safe and practical matter. Rykr Steel noticed that the community was dropping off a lot of bigger steel and metal items at the recycling lot we opened last month. The guys from Trada Art studios walked thru the recycling lot and fabricated a complete lawn furniture set out of old gearboxes and steel frames. We thought this was a great way to recycle and reuse some of these items. By holding a contest we can spread the word and promote this kind of innovative recycling and create useful lawn equipment just in time for summer.

The recycling contest will begin on April 9^th and go through the 23^rd. We ask that you be at least 18 years old to enter on your own, unless signed up with a parent or guardian. You can work in teams of up to 4. Ryker steel will also provide a cutting torch, angle grinder, and mig welder at the recycling yard. You can also use/bring your own tools if desired. During this time the recycling yard will remain open 24 hours to the contest participants. The voting will be conducted on Sunday, April 24^th.  

Sunday, April 24^th voting will be held and your pieces must be a Trada Art Studios by Noon. The judging will be held by the community. Each visitor will be given a ballot to turn in when they leave. Any registered team member cannot vote. We will announce the winner Monday via phone call and the winner’s name and art pieces will be displayed on the websites of Ryker Steel and Trada Art Studios. Rykr Steel is giving away an all-inclusive 2 night stay at Turtle Lake Hotel and Casino. Food and Drink included. Trada Art Studio is also giving a way prizes!
