estero: Giving Kudos - 239 Inspection Services in Southwest Florida
- 01/28/19 06:28 PM
The January 2019 contest Giving Kudos was an easy choice for me. The award winning team at 239 Inspection Services in Southwest Florida is top notch.
I share this not only on a professional level but also on a personal level, as I am also a customer.
In 2017 when our home was being prepared for listing on the MLS we asked 239 Inspection Services to conduct a preliminary inspection so we could address any issues ahead of an official inspection when we went into escrow.
The thoroughness of their report was very impressive, all the way down to a light bulb … (2 comments)

estero: Most common marketing mistake we see businesses make
- 12/28/17 11:20 AM
What is the most common marketing mistake we see businesses make?
It's a difficult question to answer.
We see mistakes all the time.
But to determine the BIGGEST mistake?
Not so easy.
It's a matter of opinion....or in this case our expert opinion.
Whereas you may see a marketing task cross your desk once or twice a week (if you're lucky), we see multiple projects daily and have been at it for more than five years at iPartnerMedia and for many more years prior to that.
We've seen a thing or two (to quote the Famer's Insurance commercial).
The biggest mistake we see most often is graphic design.
Most … (0 comments)

- 06/12/17 11:25 AM
I have been a resident of Stoneybrook Golf Club in Estero, Florida since 2003 and despite all the new developments that have sprung up since then, there is one big reason why Stoneybrook has remained the most affordable.

estero: 2 direct mail best practices we always advise our clients
- 06/04/17 07:48 PM
When it comes to direct mail marketing, there are two best practices we always advise our clients of:
1. Be Consistent
To be effective, direct mail requires consistency. One and done campaigns have a high failure rate. Businesses should commit to at least monthly drops targeted either via a data list they purchase or already own or via the U.S. Postal Service's Every Door Direct Mail routes which allow for targeting by specific postal route.
2. Design Strategically
When running an ongoing direct mail campaign, businesses can save money on design and print and postage costs by mailing oversized postcards that have consistent branding … (2 comments)
