communication: THERE'S A REASON SOCIAL MEDIA ABBREVIATES TO S&M - 09/28/10 01:50 PM
The title of this post is only partially intended as tongue-in-cheek. When it comes to Social Media, and especially Social Media Marketing, the old saying "no pain, no gain" seriously applies.
Whether you pay someone to do your Social Media management or you do it yourself, there's going to be an investment, financial, time, resources, emotion, all of the above. I see many people out there "doing" Social Media, but treating it like a broadcast medium. It's like being in a very crowded room with everyone talking at once, but few, if anyone actually listening.

10 Things To Do Before Employing A New Web Designer
As a small business web designer, I have a vested interest in providing quality of service and product to my clients. Referrals account for 90 percent of my business and, as much as we'd like to thing the Internet is a big place, the world is a small one and word gets out.
When I first speak to a potential client, I offer some advice, including a piece that might sound counterproductive. I tell them to speak to at least two more designers. When they ask why I tell them “because … (4 comments)

communication: YOUR MARKETING R-A-D-A-R - 05/10/09 01:12 AM
Many people believe that one should constantly be on the "lookout" for new business opportunities. Most agree that there is a "time and place" during which to be actively looking. I disagree. When you’re a small business, every opportunity counts and it is possible to have your marketing "RADAR" always on and still not be one of those awkward people who hand out their business cards at weddings...

communication: 10 Ways to "Say it with cards"... - 05/01/09 09:08 AM
Your business card: That little piece of real estate is, or should be, as much part of your business "personality" as your own. Not only does your business card contain your contact information, it's an introduction and a reminder for later. When someone is going through the stack of cards on their desk, rolodex or folder and they come across your card, they should recognize it and by virtue of that, recognize you.
That little 3½ x 2 inch piece of paper should be very important to you and your business. If you're a small business owner, self employed or have … (12 comments)

communication: Blackberry and Texting Etiquette - 07/20/08 02:34 PM
An increasingly large number of my RE clients are getting Blackberrys (or is it Blackberries...) and other texting devices. After all, it's a tried-and-tested technology for those on the move. But speed and convenience seems to be leading to short replies that may be misinterpreted...
When your email is routed to your Blackberry and you want to reply, it's relatively straightforward: type and send. However, the nature of the devices tends to mean that quick, one-liners are the norm. I often get these in reply, with a message footer "Sent from my Blackberry". I know that a short and often abrupt-seeming … (9 comments)

My approach to my work is collaborative. There are many web design companies out there that sell you a template, take your deposit and get back to you with a finished site. At JDE, we don't do things that way. I firmly believe that in order to get the best results, you have to work with and not just for the client.
Please take a moment to read some of the testimonials on our website. Take a look at our portfolio. Our reputation for excellence and value is growing in leaps and bounds.
Please feel free to send me an email if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you.
