Web Marketing from Down East Magazine or How Julia Child Stole My Cover Story

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

In Maine, when you want to learn about Web marketing you turn to Down East magazine, the Magazine of Maine Web Marketing.

OK, that’s not exactly true, but if you happened to check out this month’s issue, you’ll notice a hot pink banner over the right corner: HOW YOUR BUSINESS CAN PROFIT ONLINE p.44.

Once you get to page 44 you’ll be able to read a four page spread about Maine-based companies that have extended their “tourist seasons” by going online, interspersed with quotes by “Rich Brooks, whose Portland-based Web design and marketing firm, Flyte New Media, specializes in small business.”

Very cool, but who’s Julia Child and how did she steal my cover story?

You can read the Off-Season, Online at the Down East Web site.

Mainely Mara – Exclusive Deals on Portland Maine Boutiques & Spas

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

We’re in the midst of a custom design and programming job for MainelyMara, a company that gets insane deals on boutique and spa services in Greater Portland, Maine. However, during the ramp up to Mara launching her site, she’s running a pre-launch special. You just need to sign up at her Web site to activate your free membership.

I can’t tell you what the reward is, but if you enjoy pampering yourself, and you live or vacation in southern Maine, you should really take advantage of this offer while it lasts.

MainelyMara’s brand ID was created by talented local designer Arielle Walrath, which we then integrated into a coming soon page site and a Constant Contact email marketing account.

Go ahead, pamper yourself.

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

The other day I made my way over to WCSH Channel 6 here in Portland, Maine, for another one of my “tech expert” segments on the evening news program 207.

The topic was Internet Shopping Tips with a focus on keeping you–and your money–safe on the Interwebs.

This was the best still they had of me? Really? :-|
