July 2021 Round-Up: Summer Living

Website launches, sustainability reports, and summer living!

Hi there,

Moving into Q3 we knew things were going to be very different from Q1 and Q2. The first half of our year was focused on the launch of the new company, complete with all the staffing and process changes that came along with it. We have created relationships with new clients, improved growth for our long-term customers, and united and expanded our internal team. We still have a lot of work to do, but after 6 months we were ready to let our hair down a bit! 

With every member of the team wanting to take holidays throughout July and August, we were presented with some hard choices, which ultimately came down to one question – are we OK with slowing down and accepting less revenue throughout the summer months? It turned out to be an easier answer than expected – YES!  

Planning ahead and setting appropriate expectations was the key to making this work. How did we accomplish this? 

  • Analyzed our financial projections for the summer months 
  • Determined new goals that were attainable, and we were comfortable with 
  • Extended timelines
  • Outsourced project tasks wherever possible to help with the workload
  • Communicated the summer resource and timeline changes to our clients, setting clear project expectations

So far our planning has worked out and our staff have been enjoying camping, swimming, fishing, family time (and for some, time away from the kids, which is a treat after a year of remote learning!). We hope you and your staff are getting a chance to step away from the office and enjoy the summer. And if you’re looking for some light reading to enjoy – look no further.  

This email highlights some of the projects we’ve been working on, as well as new clients we are very excited to be working with. And while we are slowing things down this month, we still love talking with you and are always available to discuss your marketing needs or answer any questions you may have. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

ProCoat Website Launch 

ProCoat is an Arkansas based company that manufactures high performance water based and UV cured floor coatings. Their new ecommerce website allows for quick and easy purchase of their products, while at the same time providing key product information for new customers and contractors. Luckily the client had plenty of beautiful project photos for us to work with, which makes a huge difference for showcasing their products. Their passion, innovation and pride in their work was clear right from the start, and we are looking forward to seeing the results the new website will bring!
