This newsletter will be a short one. Hopefully it finds you and your business
doing well.
The Dog days of Summer.
1 : the period between early July and early September when the hot sultry
weather of summer usually occurs in the northern hemisphere.
2 : a period of stagnation or inactivity.
Hopefully your customers are not effected by the dog days of Summer and
continue to drop in. Heat and humidity has some effect on shoppers getting out.
Sometimes we have to get creative in drawing customers to our businesses. If you
have some summer campaigns that you feel work, pass them on to us.
Thanks,
Jim
webmaster.
In This issue:
Still working on Twin City Online. Should be complete by end of August.
September will be our next Full color Full page ad in the Reminder. If
you'd like to participate, please contact us. We will try to contact each
business personally, but if we miss you please email us. We are not making as
many trips, do to the cost of gas. The ad has done well in the past and
its size and color does draw attention to the business size ads placed by
those listed on our websites.
If you have a
Banner/Logo Listing with us you receive one free narrow column ad on our home pages in
the right column per each six month listing period. Email or call us about details. Ad
lasts for at least 30days.
We are always open to suggestions and would love to hear from you. Just
email us at
webmaster@gunlakeonline.com.
Since the shopping guide is part of the campaign of the Quarterly full page
ad in the reminder, here is an update: Most of those who used the newspaper ad
have not followed up and added content to their ads on the Shoppers Guide.
Remember you get these ads free when you place an ad with us in the newspaper
and can change it each month. All you need to do is send us content or create
the ad yourself. Not sure what to do, contact us and we will be glad to stop by
and help you create your ad. The Future: We are studying the feasibility
of combining the shopping guide ad with your listing on the community websites.
Maybe combining the shoppers guide with the community listings. Still working on
it.
Have some suggestions, feel free to send me an email with your idea.
We need money saving tips from all of you. Not only will you be passing on
information to our readers and fellow businesses, but you receive recognition
with your business name and link to your listing. This provides name recognition
and good will to those who read our home pages. Help us help others and get some name recognition
on our home pages. Every little bit helps. Send us your tips to
jim@boxwebs.com
