Thanks to…

Thanks to Jenny Tarmey for being a ROCKSTAR in our finance department and to Leonardo & Co, PA…we have our corporate tax returns back in record breaking time this year! Sending a BIG thank you for some great team work!

It does feel AWESOME to get these tasks done each year and I am so grateful to have these behind us for another year and even more impressed that I only had to supervise!

 

 

T.H. Creations, Inc. is moving …

We are super excited about our move into a larger space that will allow us to spread our wings a bit more. We have begun packing and moving and expect to be finished by next week. All of our contact information will remain the same…just our physical location is changing to Lisbon. We will have the same email address…same telephone number…same mailing address…same services and business offerings. Stay tuned…pictures coming soon.

More…unscrupluous business practices RE:Domains

Did you receive a letter from iDNS – Domain Name Expiration Notice? Here is another unscrupulous company that is trying to find ways to replace your current provider and over charge you in the process! They prey on fear (your domain will expire soon) and lack of knowledge (who controls my domain name? What do I currently pay for my domain?). We have attached a sample copy so you know what to what to look out for. Don’t get scammed…this is simply an attempt to hi-jack your business, but at least this company does actually offer domain services.

Thank you Sheila Bacon!

We are feeling especially grateful for Sheila Bacon, but really for all of the long-term relationships that we have share with hundreds of clients over the years. Sheila recently closed her business, but she was kind enough to send us this message reflecting on the relationship we had and the value that it provided to her and her business.

“For at least 8 years, TH Creations maintained/serviced my website and business email account. What few problems or challenges that I had with the website/email were quickly resolved. I was very pleased with the customer service. My phone calls or emails resulted in quick responses including follow-up on the weekends. People, especially Richard, were always patient with me when guiding me through “to do” steps. I always felt comfortable in asking questions and never felt patronized. If I hadn’t closed my business, I’d still have an account with TH Creations. Thus, I highly recommend this company!

Sheila Bacon
Former Proprietor of Silver Fox Stamps And More”

Sincere thanks to you Sheila Bacon!

Check out our Top 10 List

top 10 list graphicThis top 10 list contains questions that should be considered for any website project! From identifying your primary target market and regional competition area to SEO and ongoing upkeep and maintenance, this article may spur some new ideas, or just get you thinking about how well your website works for your business. Does your website work for you?

Should I buy a domain name?

Do you own a business? If yes…then you should definitely register a domain name whether you are ready to have a website or not. Any business should consider securing a domain name that closely matches their business/organization name for future use. Domain names are being purchased at the rate of 600,000 per hour world-wide. Don’t be left using the next best thing. Secure your name now!

What do you need to think about when registering a domain name? Well, there are a few things you should consider before making a selection or selections. First, think about how your existing clientele refers to your business. Think about what words you think people would type into a search engine to find your business or your kind of a business.

Keyword domain names (A.K.A. Generic Domain Names) work best for promoting your online presence to those that don’t already know your business name. A domain name that matches your business name is best for helping your existing customers find you online and for referring others to your business.

You should think about registering those that you feel best meet your business objectives, best fit your industry’s buzz words, and are most likely to be used in searches by your target market. More than one domain name can be pointed to a website, used for email, et cetera.

Search engines (like Google, Yahoo, Bing, and others) use domain name matches, web page titles, meta tags, meta keywords, page contents, et cetera, to gather their information and refer searchers to the appropriate online locations. Since the domain name is high on the priority list with search engines, the generic, or keyword, domain names can sometimes produce better results. It is a relatively inexpensive way to increase your online exposure without spending a lot of money in advertising or paid placement. Multiple domain names can just be pointed to one website.

Building “Our” Future
