In January of this year, we
launched The Residers virtual rock band, with the claim that 2007 would
be the year to Rock the Web! We were confident that this year
would see some major milestones in the application of Web for business
– and we were right.
We have spent the past nine
months getting deeper into our clients' businesses than ever before –
honing in on the calls to action (C2As) and key performance indicators
(KPIs) that focus the Web into measurable criteria.
With all of the
possibilities available on today's Web, it's essential for businesses
to identify which elements will deliver actual results - and
Reside is excited to bring this kind of focus to our clients.
We're implementing Strategic Web
Plans and ongoing Programs that are resulting in month-over-month
learning and business growth. And we're helping clients truly
measure the ROI of their Web investments.
It's an exciting time to be in
the business of Web, and we're thankful for our incredible team,
clients and partners who help make all of this a reality. You are
all Rockstars!
Rockin',
