The trees are budding, birds are singing, and there is snow in the air, this can only mean one thing: spring has come to Northern Michigan! Just down the line are the mild and relaxing days of summer . . .The time is upon us to open the windows (well almost), repaint the store front, and prepare for the army of tourists that will be filling our streets and our economy. As people come to town and are unfamiliar with the local businesses, they will turn to the almighty internet for sagely directions and advice so make sure your website is up to date and polished for their arrival!

Charter communications is planning to rearrange certain public broadcasting channels. They are trying to move the channels 2 and 13 up to 96 and 97 as early as the first of December. It seems that Charter has decline talking to the record eagle about the whole thing. As they try to continue supporting themselves as a company it doesn’t seem like that have any interest in supporting local initiatives for our area. This type of move could severely damage the non profit stations mass of viewers.

New Clients – Redmond Automotive

Pro Web — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:24:51 +0000

Redmond Automotive is a great example of a long time Traverse City local business. They have been serving customers for their automotive needs for 25 years, and are located on 14th street in the middle of Traverse City. We have been working with them to create a website that is extremely straightforward, simple, and easy to use for their potential customers. Their goals were to make sure the visitors to their website understood all of the services they offer while maintaining a crisp, solid look that really catches the eye. We used some cutting edge photoshop techniques to make this site stick in the minds of the people who view it. Redmond Automotive has two locations, so this website is essentially a “two-in-one”. It showcases the services at their auto repair shop on 14th Street and also promotes the services of their Cass Street automotive accessories shop.

We used custom hand-drawn gradients and lighting effects to make every part of the site unique.

Specials Box Sidebar

The site uses a lot of imagery while not removing prominence from the textual information. The photos below the header rotate through several pictures of their location and their staff.

Site Design Not Finalized

Look for Redmond Automotive to launch in the coming weeks. http://www.redmondautotc.com

Pro Web Marketing Joins Traverse City Chamber of Commerce

We are now proud members of the local Traverse City Chamber of Commerce!

It has been about two years since our last membership. Our company has been growing and we have not had time to allocate to organizations such as this . Although, over the last few years we have worked hard to bring on more resources. Having these resources in place, now gives us the chance to take full advantage of all the opportunities the Chamber has to offer.

I have been told the Traverse City Chamber of Commerce is very active. They have launched a new website pumped full of information. They seem to have many events and social gatherings throughout the year. I am looking forward to attending the “business after hours”. There are typically 200-400 members that attend and usually a catered event. I have gone to this event a few times and was very impressed with the turn out. We are a B2B and its a great opportunity to network with other businesses.

The Chamber also will host as event at our location called a “ribbon cutting”. We have recently moved to a new location, downtown Traverse City so this is perfect timing for a ribbon cutting. I was told its a good idea to have an open house the same day as the ribbon cutting. All the Chamber ambassadors, our employees, friends and family, and our clients will be at our ribbon cutting and open house. We will be releasing a press release soon announcing the details of the events. Be there or be square

I look forward to all the great opportunities the Chamber has ahead of us.
