How "Bright" Are Your Ideas!

Hello All,

Well it is a rainy dark day and as I drove about town running my errands I noticed how bright colors and well lit signs really pop out at you on this sort of day. It drew my attention to some store fronts and away from others. This made me wonder why every business owner didn't take advantage of this simple concept.

You offer some great products and services, so make sure you let the world know about your "bright" ideas. Think about how to grab passersby attention with bright colors or lighted displays, plus they also work great at night, providing your business with virtually free after-hours marketing. It is one of the benefits of moving my offices downtown - I look at marketing on a shopfront level and not just from cyber space. If any of you would like some help designing a storefront strategy, call or email me I am sure you will be surprised at the results such a simple change can make!

Thanks!

Watch Out For Domain Name SCAM!

Hello All,

I wanted to make some important information available. There are several companies that send the owners of domain names offical looking domain name renewal bills. These are not real bills and unsuspecting people who pay them end up having their domain name registration taken over by this company. You then have to pay your domain name fee again with us for Miller Enterprises to get control of it again and to insure that it points to your correct web hosting server.

So in essence you are paying for something you have already paid for! It is call "slamming" and the number one company for doing this is callled "Domain Regestry of America". The bill looks very real but the fine print reveals that it is an offer to switch to their company. DO NOT send payment for domain name registrations or hosting fees to anyone but Miller Enterprises! If it doesn't come from us, then it is a scam! Unless of course you have purchased your domain name from another company such as Network Solutions, GoDaddy etc. in which case only authorize payment to that company and besure to talk to your billing department about this scam. It could easily slip through accounts payable before you catch the error.

I hope this helps!

Well I finally took the time to set up my blog! I hope that as my blog grows it will contain a few bits of useful information and maybe a little entertainment as well!

If I have to choose a topic for my first blog it would be how much I enjoy what I do! Every morning I come in excited and looking forward to what the day brings. This time of the year it is a struggle to reconcile my love for the outdoors with my love of working. I have to peal myself out of the office and lock up before it's dark. However once I am at home and in my gardens or walking out in the woods I wonder why it took me so long to get home! I guess that is the yin and yang of my life.

Speaking of yin-yang, I know a good Doctor to which I have had may a discussions of this and other eastern philosophies, Dr. Sean McCaffrey. He is very interested in maintaining nature's balance and other ideas that mainstream medicine don't always embrace. Check out his site www.mccaffreyhealth.com and look around if you are interested. Of course I designed the site, so I am partial, but good info none the less!

That's all until next time!
