We are a Constant Contact All Star!

Imagine that!  Constant Contact®, trusted marketing advisor to over 400,000 companies, likes to reward users who have made the best use of their tools while sticking to best practices in email marketing. 

Our IT Manager, Anita Davis selected them 2 years ago and with access to their webinars and great support, she has been churning out newsletters and mailers ever since.

Fewer than 15% of Constant Contact customers made the cut.

We have seen great results, making new friends and even hearing from guests who have been off the radar for years.  But we are most proud to have been selected as one of Constant Contact's 2010 All Stars, as a business that plays by the rules while sharing the villa life.

LinkedIn Enhances Company Pages for More Visibility

If you are in any kind of business and you don't know about LinkedIn, you really should.  LinkedIn helps you to reconnect with former colleagues, classmates, mentors and associates;  can help you improve your professional situation;  and, features groups and conversation with industry leaders (as well as those who'd like to be!).

We joined some time ago, and have been able to enjoy groundbreaking dialogues on the many technological, economic and social waves that affect the villa rental industry.  From rental software, to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), to behavioral trends during the recession, we've been able to contribute and benefit from such fruitful exchanges... highly recommended!

We recently discovered that our SEO partner More Visibility, has been involved in the newly-enhanced Company Pages on LinkedIn, providing reach opportunities to their clientele and offering guidance on best practices and usage.  We are more than impressed with this company's longevity, collective knowledge and finely-tuned processes.  If you have been struggling with finding ways to boost your online standing, More Visibility is certainly a great place to start;  we are speaking from experience.

While you must be a LinkedIn member to view the complete page (it's free to sign up for basic service) you may visit McLaughlin Anderson Luxury Villas' LinkedIn Company Page just to see how it looks for non-members... or sign in to view the fully functional page... and be sure to read Danielle Leitch's blog entry on getting the most out of your LinkedIn Company Page - Company Pages for Business.
