The Tri-State's Largest Internet Marketing & Website Design Company
Dale Gilley and his brother started Enterprise Bella last year as a provider of candles and nicely fragranced body lotions, soaps and room sprays. Initially, Dale requested Wiregrass Advertising, Inc. design a brochure for his company and then quickly followed that up with a full e-commerce website after he saw how great the brochure looked!
Dale gave us one of our best compliments ever too. When we discussed his website design during the initial consultation he stressed repeatedly that he wanted it to look elegant. After the website was developed he realized that his candle jars looked too cheap for the website and ended up completely changing the jar line bringing it up to par with the website. You might say we did too good!
Within two days of putting the website live, Dale received his first order which totaled nearly $100. Congratulations, Dale!
You can order candles and other fragrance items at www.CoffeeCountyBella.com.
Wiregrass Advertising, Inc. has been developing e-commerce websites since 2004. Contact us today at 334-393-9099 for information so we can develop an online store for you too.
Keywords: none2009 was one of the strangest years ever! We have been providing website design services to the world from south Alabama since 2004. I can look back over the records and each year has been pretty much the same "traffic" pattern as far as slow and busy times except for this year. Consistently in 2009 the months or weeks that should have been slow have been some of our busiest, right through the November and December holidays. The fact that we have a lot of website work to do mid-December is unusual, but I am excited about it and hope it continues into next year! Despite everything, this year, like every year before, has been another record breaker in income, clients served, websites developed and more.
We started our print business in February (http://www.printinenterprise.com). It took off rapidly and has been a great compliment to our website design services. Our clients like the fact that we can design their website, brochure, business cards, postcards and other advertisement materials all to reflect the other and then print the items too. One stop "marketing shopping" convenience.
Last January we rented a booth in the First Annual Enterprise, Alabama Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. We received quite a bit of exposure. There are still many people who do not know they can find world-class website design and development in Enterprise.
The highlight of the year, as always, was meeting new clients and making new friends. We were able to help many people and saw much fruit from our endeavors. The success of Wiregrass Advertising, Inc. is directly tied to the success of our clients and we appreciate every client who has entrusted their internet development to us.
And now to 2010! Bring it on!!
Keywords: noneWe have successfully moved the office. Painting is done. Carpet is laid and we're working once more. Glad to get back into the routine of website design and internet marketing. One of my clients said to look at the move this way: "It's a way to get rid of junk." Very true. And the trash can overflowed! About the only hitch so far is the former landlord immediately removed the notice I taped to the front door of the old office letting anyone who stopped by know that we moved. We have received a couple of phone calls from people making sure we're still around and providing web services, so I feel good about that.
Feel free to stop by and see us in the new office. It is at 1247 Rucker Boulevard, Suite 11 (across from Mitchell Mazda), Enterprise, Alabama. We are still offering our entire host of website development, internet marketing, graphic design, postcards and business cards.
Keywords: noneChad Chadwick of Real Wood Signs just east of Dothan, Alabama called me one day and asked about our website design and internet marketing services. He has had a website for about ten years, but has not seen any business from it. Despite numerous searches we could not find any reference to the site on Google except for the specific company name or domain. In addition, Chad wanted a site that he could edit on his own. He was tired of his previous designer's lack of responsiveness.
I met with Chad in his shop early one morning. The medium-sized building sits in a small field close to a lovingly landscaped house complete with a water garden surrounded by Chad's carved tiles portraying lizards and turtles nestled among leafy green plants.
We had a long discussion and I was able to view first hand some of the exquisite detail he carves into his wood and man-made materials signs. If you live in Dothan, Alabama then inevitably you have seen some of his signs along the roads. His road signs are three dimensional. They often have gold leaf paint in the recessed letters. In addition to road signs he has also made many of the directional signs seen in the hallways of the local hospitals.
As I viewed Chad's handiwork, I was amazed at the artwork I was looking at. I was in awe of the beautifully carved, life-sized birds in 3 dimensions painted in bright, true to life colors. I came to realize I was not in the presence of a run-of-the-mill sign maker. I was talking to a true artist. One who expresses himself in the medium of elegant signs.
Visit Chad's website, www.rwsign.com and view some of the artwork. Need a road sign that is different from everyone else's and will remain memorable to passers by? Ask Chad for a quote. He's itching to start another piece of art!
Keywords: noneThere is one thing in life that I just hate to do. That is moving locations. Packing, unpacking. Carrying stuff. Occasionally dropping stuff too.
The end of October our landlord visited us and advised that, although she wanted us to stay, she was going to increase the rent when the lease came up for renewal in December. I greatly appreciated the notice. It allowed me to do some planning, restructuring and changing while looking for a suitable location.
Last year, when we moved to Highway 84 in Enterprise, Alabama I wanted to see if locating on a major artery would increase our business. We were able to pick up some new clients, especially in the print and graphic design division, but it did little to increase the website design and development division, the core of our company. Therefore we could not justify paying an increase in rent.
So this week we packed and moved, beginning at 9 AM Thursday and finishing the transfer at 5:30! What a long day. Friday (today) we spent a portion of the morning unpacking the necessary items to conduct business as the client messages had stacked up pretty high the day previous.
So this weekend my work is cut out for me. In between church activities (our Christmas program is Sunday) I have boxes to unpack, things to put away and website work to catch up on. Monday is a new day, a new office, a new location, and new faces passing looking in our window wondering what we are doing.
By the way, feel free to visit us at 1247 Rucker Boulevard, Suite 11, across from Mitchell Mazda.
