We’ve decided to do our best to update the blog more regularly and set a good example for our existing and potential customers. In the future look for rundowns of site launches, profiles on different clients, previews of projects on the go, and advice on how to successfully build your brand and website.

Redesign: World Pond Hockey Championship

The World Pond Hockey Championship website at http://www.worldpondhockey.com/ recently underwent a redesign with us to update the look and feel of the site. The end result is a slick and modern looking site that will give them more room to add content, galleries, and news from the event. We’ve also incorporated social media sharing at the bottom of the site to help users spread word of the event more easily.

Redesign: Los Cabos Drumsticks

When long time friends Los Cabos Drumsticks approached us about redesigning their website at http://www.loscabosdrumsticks.com we jumped on the opportunity. They were looking for an updated look and feel as well as a site that could be used as a resource for their clientele. The new website features free downloads, artists profiles, news and events, and easier access to their products. Los Cabos loves their new website and really, we couldn’t agree more.

With social media taking the internet by storm, several existing Red Cow Marketing & Technologies clients are taking steps to integrate this new media into their websites.

Thermtest Inc. of Fredericton New Brunswick has not only integrated with Twitter http://twitter.com/thermtest but they also have a blog to follow them and their products http://www.thermtest.com/blog/

We came across an article recently on the American Journalism Review on the use and growth of social media giant Twitter that we thought that you might find interesting. The article talks about its usefulness in regards to journalism as a whole but also goes on to talk about the primary users of the free service. Their findings might surprise you. Here’s an excerpt.

“Still, another attractive aspect of Twitter to journalists is who tweets, and where. Twitter isn’t, primarily, the province of teens and college students. The service has become firmly established among adults, the majority of whom say they use the site while at work. According to Nielsen Online, people age 35-49 were the largest single group of tweeters, making up about 42 percent of the total in February (in fact, people older than 55 exceeded the number of users age 25 to 34). This means that Twitter appeals to an older, more serious crowd than its more popular social networking cousins, Facebook and MySpace. As no less an authority than my teenage daughter says with classic you’re-so-out-of-it-dad disdain, “Nobody uses Twitter in high school. We have Facebook and texting. Twitter’s not relevant.” Case closed.”

Red Cow Marketing & Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce’s new Fredericton Physician Recruitment Initiative website; Go Fredericton. The website utilizes our myBusinessAdmin software which enables the Chamber to update and edit the website at their own leisure without added costs.

About Go Fredericton
In August of 2008 the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce launched its Fredericton Physician Recruitment Initiative, a community-based project intended to complement the existing efforts of the Regional Health Authority and the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital.

The decision to form the initiative arose from discussions with Chamber members, who expressed concern over the ability to recruit skilled workers to a community experiencing a physician shortage, who pointed out that access to health care is a key requirement for companies looking to the city as a place to do business, and who noted that immigrants are unlikely to choose to relocate to, or remain in, a community that cannot offer them access to primary health care. These discussions made it apparent that the physician shortage had the potential to affect more than just a small group of people — it could create a serious human resources challenge, hinder economic development efforts, and prevent the province from achieving its population growth targets.
