Sage Island is happy to announce the recent launches of both the ActionSportsNow website and blog.  ASN is a new, quickly growing business headquartered in Wilmington, NC.  ASN is an online database of shops, retailers, camps, resorts and independent contractors who serve the action sports industry.  Sage Island worked with ASN to develop their new website in DNN; the site features a search for action sport retails by industry segment and location.  The custom programmed search was developed based on the unique features offered by ASN.

The newly launched ActionSportsNow WordPress blog offers an online platform for ASN to stay connected with their customers and provide up-to-date industry and sports related news.  The site feeds news into the website, by sport, to offer the latest news to ASN users, no matter what source they are visiting.

I am happy to announce that the new website for the USS NC Battleship launched today!  The website is built in DNN to give the Battleship staff the flexibility to update the site as needed with news, events and photos.  The site features an events calendar, a gallery of various ship and event photos and videos and an interactive crew roster that allows users to search by last name through the 9,000 names in the directory.  The site will help with various marketing efforts and provide an expandable platform for online growth.

I am happy to announce that we launched the South End Surf Shop website yesterday (just in time for hurricane Earl’s swell)!  This site is built in DNN and features a feed from the client’s live, HD surf cam.  He also has a custom tool that allows him to post surf reports and archive daily surf photos.  There are other great tools on the site including a weather report and information from SwellInfo.com.  The client loves the overall site design and the flexibility that DNN offers.

I am happy to announce that Norco Management launched their new site this week! The website was developed in WordPress and was designed to match their company logo and colors in a fresh, updated way. The site provides an overview of their services and showcases each of their property complexes. They are able to easily upload photos and information for each of property in the content management system.

Shaping the Digital Customer Service Experience

The face of retail is changing and so is customer service— for the better. As featured on CNNMoney.com, Mike Duncan speaks to the digital age of customer service in specialty retail. By integrating social media, product recommendations, consumer reviews,  Live Chat, and more,  learn how to enhance your customer’s shopping experience and supersede any storefront customer service.

Today we launched the new Results Production and Post website.  The site is a redesign of the site we developed several years ago.  The new website was developed in DotNetNuke and will allow the client to keep it up to date with their latest work and clients.  The site features YouTube videos and audio clips of their past work and provides a way for potential customers to contact Results Production and Post.

“The term “Yellow Pages” has been a literal description of a business directory product and the name for the industry which has produced it for over a hundred years. Rapid evolution of internet media seems to be revoking the conceptual connection between printed pages which are yellow and sources for finding local businesses. So, is the “Yellow Pages” name itself becoming obsolete?

As a product transfers from one medium or evolutionary stage to another, it’s normal to try to adapt its legacy nomenclature to fit the new version—all that promotional good will built upon the old product name in the past can be leveraged to promote the new version of the product.

In some cases the product name will continue to be used into the future. However in other cases, the marketplace’s devotion to the legacy name begins to disconnect, and eventually the legacy name becomes obsolete.

I think there’s reason to believe this has been happening with the Yellow Pages.”
