Webconsuls' 2010/2011 Winter Newsletter
If 2010 was nothing else, it was a fast year. It seems only yesterday Dick Fay and I were working on our 2009 Winter Newsletter and now here we are writing our 2010/2011 Winter Newsletter. We want to take a few minutes to: Thank our Webconsuls' clients, introduce our newest clients, highlight some marketing and software ideas, suggest two resolutions for you and support our not-for-profit clients who assist children in need.

Thanking our clients...
Webconsuls and our team appreciates our clients. We learn from each and every client by optimizing their sites, designing new sites, building blogs, coaching our clients on new software and responding to their marketing needs. As you may know, we have clients across the United States (actually in 11 states) and in two foreign countries, representing industries from hospitality to law, health care to home maintenance, real estate to retail, sports and recreation to performing arts. There is never a dull day. 

Introducing our clients who joined us in 2010...
We invite you to meet our new clients and visit their websites.

Highlighting some marketing and software suggestions...

We know the internet is fluid. It changes daily. We try to keep our clients abreast of these changes by writing this blog, researching our clients' requests, providing news' feeds on our website, and publishing our newsletter. Over the past few years we have blogged a lot about social media/Google/Twitter. We have built blogs for our clients, we have worked with our clients to establish their Facebook business page.  Additionally, over the past year...
  • Dick has been particularly active assisting our clients by adding shopping carts with either PayPal or Authorize.net functionality.  
  • Dennis worked with clients to add a LIVEPerson feature for online customer engagement.
  • Malik, our lead designer and web developer, is also proficient in designing clients' e-newsletters using Constant Contact and Vertical Response.
  • Keith, our PPC specialist, works closely with several of our PPC clients to utilize phone conversion optimization software.  
  • Alycia, our branding expert, has been focused on improving Client Web 2.0 and specific SEO-related enhancements.
  • Daniel, our Social Media tech continues to sharpen his YOUTube video creation skills. We are sure you will enjoy the video he created for Seaward Inn to commemorate their 2010 Sunday Morning Live Series.


Suggesting two resolutions for you...


The first is to start reading our Webconsuls' blog on a regular basis.  As we said above, with our blog we communicate new information that we think is important to on-line marketing and social media.  

The second is to start and maintain your own blog.  Our clients with blogs generally receive more traffic than clients in similar fields without them.  Blogger now allows you to easily monitor your blog stats.  A blog is easy and relatively inexpensive to create.  Routinely writing posts can be a challenge, but it can  be rewarding with more virtual exposure, traffic, and new business.  You might start by also reading some of our clients' blogs like -  Delytes - A 'green' fine foods company  or Attorney Carilyn Ibsen's blog  or Attorney Will Bruzzo's blog.

Finally supporting our not-for-profit clients...

This year, as in years past, Webconsuls made a donation in honor of our clients to those not-for- profit clients who work to support children and families in need.
Olive Crest Homes and Services for Abused Children

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Midcoast MaineThe vision of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Midcoast Maine is successful mentoring relationships for youth in Knox, Lincoln and Waldo Counties, contributing to better schools, stronger communities and brighter future.

The Promises Foundation Miriam's House

The Forrest General Healthcare Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Forrest General Hospital. The foundation helps ensure that the hospital's vision of C.A.R.E. becomes a reality for the 17 county region that the hospital serves. Initiatives include the Inpatient Hospice Home Project, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Renovation Project and the Spiritual Grounds at Pine Grove.

We wish you a healthy and prosperous New Year. Let us know if 2011 is the year you want to add some new features to your on-line marketing. We will be happy to discuss these opportunities and plan a strategy with you. 



Sincerely,
Dennis, Dick and Judy
