1. Letter from the CEO
Dear Colleague,
Wow - it's been an incredible three months for Reside, and
I have been looking forward to this opportunity to update you
on the latest developments here! As always, I want to
start by thanking all of our clients, partners, and employees
for contributing to our growth in the past quarter.
Reside is a success because of all of you!
Perhaps you've heard about Reside's new office.
That's right - we are no longer "virtual"! As much as we
enjoyed our coffee shop meetings over the past two years, it
was time to bring the whole Reside team together - under one
roof. We've been breathing the same air for just over a
month, and loving it! Read more about this exciting news
below...
Reside is also happy to welcome a new member to our
team. Sophia Murphy joined us this March, and is already
a great asset to our development group.
And there's more news...We're getting more involved in our
community by joining some great
associations/organizations! To top it all off, we are
adding to our services to better support your Web and Contact
Management needs.
Speaking of which - this economy provides a
great opportunity to focus on increased productivity and cost
savings, which is just what we help our clients do
through effective Web and Contact Management systems. We
are happy to serve you in achieving your short- and long-term
goals in these areas, so be sure to contact us if your
business is looking at ways to maximize your technology
investments!
Have a very Happy Spring, and thanks for doing business
with Reside!
Cheerz,
Matt Meents
Chief Executive Officer

2. Reside News!
A New Office for
Reside: We did it! We took the
plunge, and all moved in together. It was a huge step
for a group of people accustomed to staff meetings at Caribou
Coffee and working at home in our slippers, but the timing and
circumstances were too good to pass up. And although we
all now report to work in shoes, we are throroughly enjoying
each others' company and the opportunity to work more
effectively on our clients' projects and internal
initiatives. It's been a great move for Reside!
If you're in the neighborhood, be sure to drop in and say
hello. We are still finishing up the office decor, but
we think the place is pretty presentable. You'll find us
on France Avenue in Edina. New address and contact info
as follows (please update your records):
Reside, LLC
7300 France Avenue
South
Suite 218
Edina, MN 55435

Reside Welcomes Sophia Murphy: To
add to the excitement of a new office, we have also added a
new face to the Reside team. Sophia joined us this
March, and is working with us as a full-time time
employee on our programming team. Sophia is making her
mark at Reside as a web applications specialist. She is
already tackling client projects, and if you're lucky, she may
someday work on your site! Say hello to Sophia at smurphy@reside.biz.
Introducing Email Marketing
Support: For more than a year, Reside has been
sending you the latest in news and helpful business articles
through our quarterly e-newsletter. Many of you have
expressed interest in managing your own email marketing
campaigns and newsletters, and we couldn't recommend a better,
more comprehensive tool than Exact Target. So, to
provide a broader range of support to our clients, Reside is
proud to announce that we are now offering email
marketing support as a reseller of Exact
Target. For more information on Reside's
services for email design, database support, and Contact
Management integration, please contact us at 952.835.1930 or

Reside Joins Twin West Chamber of
Commerce: We are excited to announce our
new membership in the Twin
West Chamber! Our thanks to our clients,
Mark Carlson of Minnesota Mailing Solutions
and Steve Salmi of Swanson, Kirkpatrick and
Salmi for encouraging us to join up with this progressive
organization. We believe our involvement will provide
opportunities for input on important community issues, and
will help us enhance our network for the benefit of Reside and
our clients!
Reside Sponsors and Joins the MDMA:
Another exciting development for Reside. This winter, we
had the privilege of launching a web site for the
Midwest Direct Marketing Association's annual
conference. (See also feature "In The
Spotlight".) In addition to our sponsorship, Reside has
also joined the MDMA as a
new member! We look forward to becoming more involved
with this local and national organization.
Reside Sponsors HOBY Event
Communications: Reside joined forces with
the Minneapolis/St. Paul Hugh
O'Brien Youth Leadership program to promote their upcoming
fundraiser event. HOBY is a non-profit group
committed to developing leadership potential in high school
students. The group will partner with Art Holdings Gallery
(of Golden Valley) to host a silent art auction on Thursday,
