Remember What The Internet Was Like?

I saw this video on TechCrunch and had to post it here. It was too good to pass up.

I hope everyone has a great turkey day. Gobble, gobble.

Happy Thanksgiving!

How NOT to Title Your Email Newsletter Subject Line

They tricked me. I don’t want to be treated this way from my email newsletters.

I just received an email from Vertical Response with the Subject: Is there such a thing as too much business?

“Yes, if it’s the wrong kind of business.”

I was going to submit my comments above but no where in the email was the answer OR the question.

Vertical Response Email Newsletter: Poor subject line

At least match the Subject line to a Headline or Story or I’m not going to read the email.

I didn’t. It’s been deleted.

If you’re not going to deliver, don’t bother.

Please. When you write your Subject line deliver on your promise. Don’t trick your users or try to give them something that’s not. They won’t read it.

It Happens Website Launches

It Happens LogoHello again.

As promised, we are announcing another website launch, designed and developed by MJS Web Solutions and Gunderson Design.

The Town of Danville’s Transportation department has a program called Street Smarts for educating kids on traffic safety. Gunderson Design and MJS Web Solutions were brought in to develop the It Happens website exclusively for high school students.

To get high school students to learn more about traffic safety, we partnered with Planet Jam/Stickyfish on designing a rewards program where students could watch traffic videos, submit their own stories and earn points by doing so. With these points, students can purchase prizes such as iPods, Nintendos and Playstations.

The local media has received the story too.

Mike Swartz says, “Check it out“.

Two New Websites Launched by MJS Web Solutions

Matsco LogoRed Condor LogoHello.

We’ve been very busy around here the last couple of weeks and that’s lead to a limited amount of postings.

What could be taking up so much of our time around here, you ask?

Well, it’s preparing and launching 3 separate websites in a week.

  1. Our most impressive work to date (I’m so modest), and just launched last week, is Matsco.com, a dental, veterinary, and optometric practice financing firm. We’ve been working on this site for quite awhile and you can see why it took the time it did.
  2. We also launched Red Condor, an email and spam filtering firm.
  3. We’ll tell you about this one tomorrow. It hasn’t officially launched.

Both sites were created exclusively using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and built for maximum search engine exposure.

Mike Swartz says, “Check ‘em out”.
