Burlington Free Press – Thanksgiving Edition Offer From BBytes

Show me your print advertising From the Thanksgiving Edition of the Burlington Free Press and get $500 off a new website.

The Burlington Free Press is boasting that their Thanksgiving day paper is going to be “Over 900 pages including 772 pages of ads and 42 inserts”.  Its great business for them, but we should think about the diminishing impact of this technique on your business.

• a.) Who is going to browse through all 772 pages of ads?

• b.) Do you think anyone is going to remember your business after?

• c.) How many customers do you need to get from this ad to see a return on your investment (ROI)?

We can build you a professional website that ranks at the top of page 1 when people search for your product or service on Google; a much better place to advertise than on page 453 of a single Free Press edition.

If your business, or a business of a friend paid good money to get buried in this edition, give me a call about getting a proper website, search optimization, and local marketing set up for your business.  Our sites start at $2500, show me your Thanksgiving Free Press ad and I’ll take $500 off your project’s cost.

I hate seeing businesses waste their advertising budget. Please share on Twitter and with your Facebook friends.

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Update – June 6

Hi All,

Here’s an update of what’s happening at Burlington Bytes.   I’m working on the deck (weather permitting) and generally enjoying the summer weather.   Otis is also enjoying the outdoor office.

Website in a Week Launch: www.StanThePlumber.com

I’ve launched www.stantheplumber.com for Plumb Perfect LLC in Burlington, VT.   It really came together nicely, I’m looking forward to seeing how it ranks for local terms like ‘Plumber in Burlington”.  We’ll know in a few weeks once it’s been indexed by Google.   A huge thanks to Stanley Selig, I’m looking forward to working with your business.

Website in a Week Start: Wisehart, Wimette, & Associates

This week’s website in a week client is Wisehart, Wimette, & Associates,  an accounting firm in Essex Junction, VT.  We’re putting together a website to advertise their personal, business, and nonprofit accounting services. It’ll have an secure ftp area for uploads, it should be a fun challenge putting that together.  Tune in for the results next week.

Website in a Week – May 31

I’m trying out a new program this week, something I’m calling “Website in a Week”.  Basically, each week I’ll take on a 20-60 hour project, and present the final results on Friday.  The idea is to market my services as affordable, fast, and professional (and help me keep on a set schedule).

This week, I’m working with Stan “The Plumber” Selig of Plumb Perfect.  He is a plumber that specializes in Bathroom remodeling and serves Chittenden County, VT.   Tune in on Friday for his website launch and project details.

February 2011 Update

Here’s whats happening at Burlington Bytes, and what I’ve got coming up for February.

Mustache Manuary was a huge success – $625 raised for VT Boy Scouts

We started Mustache Manuary on the 6th of January, with a goal of lining up 2 sponsors, and getting 50 mustaches entered.  We ended up with 5 local VT business sponsors, each contributing $1 per each of our 125 mustaches.   Can’t beat that.  We’re holding live finals on February 13th at Das Bierhaus in Burlington.  You can see all the details of our mustache contest finals here.

I’m planning on putting together a plan for the Boy Scouts of America,  Green Mountain Council so that we can make this a much larger annual contest next year.  Its going to be awesome.

Vincent J Fernandez Oriental Rugs

Vincent J Fernandez is regarded by many people as VT’s foremost Oriental Rug expert.  He’s located in Richmond, VT and offers Oriental Rug buying and selling, appraisals, and rug cleaning and repair.   We’re putting together a site and internet marketing campaign to help him boost his business.  Stay tuned for the finalized site.

Links At Lang Farm Golf Course

I’m working on a site for my favorite Burlington area golf course, the Links at Lang Farm.   They’ve got a site up right now, but want a better CMS than CyberGolf, and a site that performs better in the Search Engines.  Winter is the prime time to build a golf courses website, as it will give us time to get it ranking well before the season goes into full swing.

Wisehart Wimette, and Associates – Certified Public Accountants

Its tax season, time to visit your local CPA and get your books straight.  I’ve been using Kirk for everything from tax and financial advising for my businesses, as well as our annual tax returns. I’ve always been incredibly impressed with his insights and professionalism, and I’m pumped to be returning the favor.
