Greetings, Friend!

Happy New Year from all of us at Reside!  I hope you enjoyed the holidays, and took time to celebrate and relax with your friends and family.  As we enter 2002, we are encouraged by the show of renewed determination and energy within our business community.  We are confident that this will be a year full of growth and opportunity - both for our business and yours!

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for being a part of Reside's success over the past year.  Thanks to the referrals that came in through our network of clients, partners, and colleagues, 2001 was a profitable year for our company - even despite economic turbulence.  So, once again, thank you for helping make the vision of Reside a reality!

As we move forward, we'd like to keep you posted on new developments taking place at Reside.  There have been a lot of great changes lately...Here's a glance at what's going on:

Brand New Brand!
If you're seeing this email in html, you've probably already noticed that our logo has a new look.  For the past three months, we've been busy re-working our brand, starting with the redesign of the logo, and integrating a new look and theme into all of our business collateral.  So, why did we scratch the black and blue look?  Read more about our re-brand in a recent press release which is published on our web site at www.reside.biz/jan2.html.
Web Site Launch
In conjunction with our re-brand, our web site has been completely redeveloped.  reside.biz (v. 2.0) incorporates a number of new features, such as a portfolio of web work, technology consulting case studies, and a newsroom that we will be filling full of helpful technology resources.  Check us out on the web at http://www.reside.biz.  We'd love to hear your feedback!
Growing Staff
On January 2nd, Jennifer Zick came on board as Reside's President of Web Services.  Formerly the President and Owner of Advent Consulting, Jennifer has worked closely with Reside over the past 6 months as the company's Marketing Communications partner.  She now brings her skills and experience in-house to help grow Reside's web business.  You can contact Jennifer at jzick@reside.biz.
Sales and Marketing Re-Focus
Those of you who are familiar with our history know that Reside got its start by providing technology solutions to the Real Estate marketplace.  We've since grown to servicing a wide variety of clientele, with a majority of our portfolio consisting of professional service companies.  Today, our sales focus has expanded, and we are actively soliciting business in the following areas:
  • Real Estate
  • Professional Services (Legal, Accounting, Banking, etc.)
  • Health Care
  • Medical/Bio-Technology

Of course, we offer technical consulting and web support to companies of all types and sizes, but if you know of a specific need in one or more of these areas, we'd certainly appreciate your referral.

Here's wishing you great success in 2002!

Cheerz!
