Blogger – Testimonial

The great thing about being a consultant is seeing your clients excited about a new tool you implement into their marketing or web strategy. In this case, Craig Sumsky – a friend and a client of mine who has been getting very serious with his blogging.

Craig operates Cutting Edge Entertainment, a full service entertainment company with DJ, Sound, Lighting & Multi Media services. Craig became really passionate about blogging about his industry, and latest events he serviced. Through blogging he has changed the way his DJ company does business, and have reaped the rewards of the added traffic and earned the respect of his industry colleagues for being a leader in online marketing.

I received a very pleasant testimonial from Craig and shared it on Media Components Blog.

I invite all my readers to connect with Craig on his blog and twitter!

BNI, Networking, Referrals and Word of Mouth

I just wanted to share a great example of Marketing using Networking and Word of Mouth. I have been a member of BNI Ivyland Profesional Network group for over 3 years now and have been getting many successful referrals from with in and outside of the group. One of my current website clients is Barry Murphy from Virtual Kitchen Concepts.

An accountant in my BNI Group referred me to Barry when his new company was in need of a website, logo design and print materials. My company Media Components designed all of the marketing pieces and launched the website – www.virtualkitchenconcepts.com

Last few months I have been web consulting Apple Graphics Inc. – a Philadelphia based vehicle wraps, signs and banner printing company. Neal Freedman the founder of the company happened to be in my office building at the time when I invited him to visit my BNI group as a guest. Neal saw the potential and benefits that this group would bring to his business and became a member right away.

When I consult my clients I also open up my network of connections and contacts so that my clients can network with each other and benefit from all of the connections.

When Barry mentioned that he was interested in wrapping his box truck for marketing purposes, I immediately told him about Apple Graphics and Neal’s ability to deliver a great looking wrap design. I am very happy that it worked out and wanted to share this video testimonial that shows how Word of Mouth Networking is great for referrals and I highly recommend BNI as a vehicle for success!
