Best Local Website Award

Logo

We won an award for “Best Local Website” for our site RedlandsTakeout.com from the readers/voters of the San Bernardino County Sun and Redlands Daily Facts.  Check out the story on Inland Empire’s Best Local Website.  This was a collaboration between our restaurant marketing partner NetWaiter, and RedFusion Media.

RedlandsTakout.com, the only local restaurant guide providing online ordering capabilities, received top honors from the 2011 Annual Readers Choice Awards, sponsored by the San Bernardino Sun and Redlands Daily Facts. The unique website is San Bernardino County’s best “Local Website” within the Goods and Services category.

The voting process began in March, consisting of ballots running in both the newspaper and online. Readers especially appreciate the website’s reliable, fast and user-friendly format. Creative developer Jon Burgess is “excited that people have enjoyed the site and are enjoying using this convenient and easy way to order out. We really appreciate the fact that people took the time to choose RedlandsTakeout.com for this special designation.”

Building Technology Partnerships

Being in Internet marketing, not “Computer’s” as many of my clients assume, means that I and my team don’t have enough time to build cool programs, widgets, plugins, and tools.  Finding and then building great technology partnerships is a must.

1. Partners bring expertise to the table, much of which they will teach you for free as long as you honor your partnership.

2. Partnerships are about relationships, and having good relationships with partners allows you to critic and/or criticize business practices or marketing plans before going public.

3. Partnerships save time and money.

Some Great Partnerships I have.

For me, I didn’t have to reinvent the wheel or right code. NetWaiter was able to provide me the technology for www.RedlandsTakeout.com.  NetWaiter is able to leverage my relationships to build his business.
