The statewide competition recognized recipients for their excellence in planning, creativity, effectiveness of message, concept and design. The competition was judged by a team of experts in the marketing, communication and advertising industries.

When we were designing the site with the Gahanna Convention & Visitors Bureau, we knew we had something special on our hands.  We are so very thrilled that the Ohio Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus saw something special in the site and awarded our client!

We love the work the Gahanna Convention & Visitors Bureau does promoting Gahanna, and the award couldn’t have gone to a better group of people.  We’re excited to see the new site play a large role in bringing more visitors and conventions to the great city of Gahanna.

We encourage everyone to check out their site today!

Our marketing director thinks the latter. Find out why on her most recent blog post.

That’s why we’re so happy to have been awarded the “Achievement In Marketing” (or AIM) award for Web 2.0 by the Columbus American Marketing Association. The Achievement in Marketing awards focus on what is behind the creative: the behind-the-scenes strategy that creates awareness, customer attention and, most importantly, results.

It’s the second year in a row we won the award. This time it was for our work with the Arnold Sports Festival, creating their website and promoting it online through search engine optimization. The selection committee chose People To My Site based on the site design and the strong results generated. Overall traffic to the site increased 60% during the 7 months of the campaign, and visits to the site from the search engines increased 75.95% in the last month when compared to 2008 metrics.

Jim Lorimer, co-producer of the Arnold Sports Festival said, “[We] had a record year in 2010 and it would not have been possible without the work of our partners at People To My Site, who helped us attract record traffic to our Web site. We look forward to working with People To My Site as we continue to build our online marketing efforts.”

We are privileged to be the exclusive internet marketing partner of the Arnold Sports Festival, which provides economic sustenance to Central Ohio and promotes a healthy lifestyle through its competitions and educational seminars. Receiving the “Achievement in Marketing” Web 2.0 Award is a testament to our efforts in making an event with overwhelming success even more impactful through digital media, and for that we are grateful.

Thanks-Giving by *Fede* via flickr

The holiday season commences with Thanksgiving – which helps to put us in the right frame of mind for giving.

When we’re thankful for what we have, we’re more inclined to want to give to others.

Have you considered how you can give this holiday season? Need a few ideas?

Here at PTMS, we’ve partnered with two local charities to give as much as we can – and help others to give, too!

First, Directions For Youth & Families helps families at the holidays and throughout the year. Here at this promotional holiday site, you can help by providing gifts to those in need, adopting a family to help them have a happy holiday, buying youth art, or by just donating to the good works they do.

We’re also working with the Mid-Ohio Foodbank to feed the hungry right here in Columbus. Our goal is to get $1000 in donations. That translates to 100 people donating just $10.  And if you can’t donate yourself, you can still help by becoming a team-leader and sending the word to 10 of your friends. That way, even small donations will soon add up. And remember, with MOF, every $1 donated equals about $8 worth of groceries that feed the hungry.

Are you giving? Let us know where, so others can join you in your efforts as well!

Happy holidays!

In reality, this is a question that probably should be asked of businesses in July. Not 1.5 weeks out from Thanksgiving. We are just 9 days away from BLACK FRIDAY!

So most companies are at that point in their planning where they’re starting to sit back and just hope they made the right strategic decisions.

But it’s not too late to come up with something to boost your sales. Are you monitoring every day? Are you noticing any trends?

And, possibly more importantly, have you been seeing anyone ELSE doing anything that’s likely to capture attention and sales?

Personally, I haven’t. The only thing I’ve seen so far this year has been: Elf Yourself from OfficeMax. And this is what? The fifth year for that?

I challenge my readers to post some great online holiday promotions. Show us what’s good out there.

Meanwhile, here’s a link to our CSR/SEM team – from ElfYourself.
