Oasis | A Fresh Outlook

Welcome
A Fresh Outlook A fresh outlook. We have been through quite a bit of change in the last several months, and can honestly say we have quite a new fresh outlook in many ways. We are excited to bring you this newsletter from our new location in Temecula. In October, we moved our offices about 20 minutes north of where we had been in Escondido. The move was trying and it took some time to get settled, but we are set up now, and back in the routine.

More exciting than the move to Temecula, has been the addition of a new team member at Oasis in November. Ron Wesson will be the director of operations and will be responsible for overseeing a lot of the projects that we are working on. Chances are if you are beginning a project with us soon, you will have the pleasure of working closely with Ron.

Ron comes to us with an extensive background in Web related project management and operations management experience. He recently managed a team of developers and programmers for a company that performed online assessments.

If this is your first time receiving A Fresh Outlook, you may want to search our archives or read about the purpose of our newsletter. Thank you for your time and your feedback.

Message Boards – A community on your site
The last couple Fresh Outlooks, we looked at viral marketing, with Reebok’s Terry Tate campaign, as a form of bringing people back to your site. We want to introduce you to another form of marketing that might work for you that would keep people coming back to your site. Message boards create a community for users with common interests to interact with one another, and provide an almost addictive lure to keep people coming back to your site. Read the case study on San Diego Weddings to learn more about how they are using a message board to drive thousands of hits to their site a month.

Fresh Take
We are so fortunate. We have all been blessed with so much, and even when times are tough, it is important to take time to notice all of the things that are taken for granted every day. With the holidays upon us, we wanted to share this story with you about sharing our blessings with others. If we don't hear from you before then, have a Merry Christmas, and a blessed holiday season.
