I spoke to Cheryl, my contact at Community School of the Arts (CSA). She called with a question and casually shared with me some news.  A whopping 40% of their new students came through the new website this fall. At their teachers’ retreat the director shared that many community art schools are letting teachers go and cutting programming back. It is a different story at Wheaton’s CSA; they are blessed to have a waiting list. Cheryl said, “We have gotten a tremendously positive response to the new site, and appreciate the marketing counsel you provided.”

I am proud of the Spire2 team – thanks Andrea and Andriy.

And, Cheryl, call anytime. I am happy to answer any question – especially if you want to share things like: “your work is responsible for solving world hunger,” or “I have five contacts who own companies that need your marketing expertise,” or even, “I am buying you a large quantity of chocolate and it will be at your office this afternoon.”

The Downtown Wheaton Association’s new website is now live. Right now if you visit the site and sign up for the Downtown Wheaton Shoppers’ Club, you will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 gift certificate to shop in downtown Wheaton. You can now easily find out about events and happenings in downtown Wheaton along with a Q&A feature on a DWA member. The first feature is the Paper House, another Spire2 web development client. The directory shows you where stores are in downtown with Google maps and will sport other enhancements rolling out over the next couple of months. Check it out.
