What You Get:
This is one of many customizable template designs. Click on image to enlarge it.1) Original feature about you—and your expertise
Why about you? Because planning a special party or event is about much more than your delicious food. Or beautiful flowers. Or great music.
When your customers decide to sign a contract with your company, what they're actually buying is you. They're trusting you to help make their event wonderful. To impress their guests. To give them good value for their money.
So shining a light on your ideas, your helpful advice, and on examples of how you've brought value to customers in the past puts the emphasis exactly where it belongs.
We work with you to create an article designed to let you and your knowledge stand out. A feature you'll be proud to show anyone. Because every word will be true. No exaggerated claims. No questionable "reviews." No transparent "testimonials."
We'll work with you to bring out the expertise that you probably take for granted, but that will impress customers. And strengthen their trust in you.
Two versions for maximum use
To ensure that you get the most value, we'll run your article as a Web feature and also give it to you in printable form. The one-page version, edited from your Web feature, will be beautifully designed to complement the look and color scheme of your Web site and/or existing marketing materials.
You can use your printable feature to:
- Hand to customers along with their checks or receipts—or at any time.
- Display in your place of business—e.g., on a table, for customers to pick up
- Use as a direct-mail piece--e.g., mail to existing and prospective business or regular customers—perhaps with your business card and a personal note
- Distribute at community events
- Enclose in holiday cards to customers.
- Display on your Web site, as part of your Media section.
- E-mail to anyone you wish (enhances any e-mail campaign you may already have in place—or we can help you with that, too).
- Attach it to every announcement and promotion you send out.
- Use it in connection with any social media applications that you have, or plan.
2) The online version of your feature
Your feature also will be presented on its own pages on CelebratewithStyle.com right now and on other sites in our growing network, in the near future. The online version will be identified as part of a sponsored program designed to let event experts introduce themselves to people planning all types of special-occasion parties and events. More important, the feature will be indexed by both your name and your company name, which may dramatically increase your presence and rankings on search engines.
3) Your Resource Directory Page(s)
In addition to the online and printable feature, you also get a custom-created Resource Directory listing, which is beautiful and complete enough to serve as your company Web site, if you wish.
Your listing contains either three (3) or up to nine (9) photos that you provide (each 280 pixels wide; max. file size 2 KB), depending on the package you select. See large (280 x 280-pixel) image size here.) You can change your images any time you wish.
Also included: your company name, logo, address, phone, link to map and directions, link to your existing Web site, your own company description, an e-mail contact form, and a link to the online feature about you.
Moreover, your listing is highlighted in a tinted box at the top of the Resource Directory business category in your geographic area--e.g., "Long Island/NY metro area Event Planners." (There are 19 Resource Directory categories. The Resource Directory is accessible from every page of our Web site.)
4) Your tips in a searchable database
To further increase your visibility, each bit of advice that you offer in your "How-to Tips from the Experts" article is individually entered into an easy-to-search database on our site.
Any reader looking for information on a subject you address will find every one of your tips on that subject, along with links to your online feature.
