Digital Marketing News in the Tampa Bay Area and Vestal New York.

Sun Sign Designs would like to say thank you to all that have served and are serving in our military. If it was not for your sacrifice, we would not have this great nation that we do.

There is a place between here and there, far away from the sidewalks and city hustle that we all can regain a sense of us. Whether the journey is a back woods trail or a winding river, sometimes we all need to get Back 2 Basics.

I met Michael at a festival in Ybor City when he was selling his fabulous cooking syrups called Barrel Aged Creations. After talking about grilling and all of our food experiences, we started discussing the Back 2 Basics concept. Many of us live lives that we do not have time for ourselves, let alone a prayer to God. This disconnect with our spiritual life and our own personal life, leads us to become disenchanted with our own life. The Back to Basics Outdoor Ministry is designed to reconnect and ignite the spark between us and God. To see the glory of his creation and to find peace in ourselves.

For me, I am an avid hiker, kayaker and outdoors man. I love a good adventure. Why, because I do not bring my cell phone. I need to disconnect from everything and everyone. I need to go Back 2 Basics, if you will, and stop the white noise that keeps me from loving life and being productive. More importantly I need time to reflect on what has been provided to me by the Lord, and to be grateful for what I do have.

Not everyone can do this without a guide. Back 2 Basics is a non-denominational, Christian experience that guides you through a path to find exactly what I have illustrated above, gratitude. To guide an adventurer on an new experience, we decided to create an online platform that allows you to choose your adventure either by activity or by location in the US. Individuals or groups are able to work one-on-one with the team at Back2Basics to customize their outdoor adventure.

Maria Ricciardi may possibly be one of the most amazing and interesting people I have ever met in my life. Introduced by an old college friend and now her husband, I met Maria for the first time in Chicago on a cold and blistery day in late January. Maria has been the reason for the season ever since that moment, through her travel photography, I have experienced so many amazing things. The stories she can tell with just a picture let alone the words that can go along are captivating in its self. The relationships she builds in-person, with people, and with her photography bring life to the human condition and pose a different perceptive on the world.

Maria IS her website. She does live authentically, bravely and with lots of gumption. This portal into her travels and life, I could never do it justice, however, I can let her speak for herself.

“I am Maria Ricciardi and I am a traveler, writer, and photographer.  I started adding my journal entries to the photos I take to share my adventures and experiences one photo at a time.  At the end of the day, you will be able to walk the same path I did through my visual storytelling. I love to travel and experience new things, meet new people and photograph the world.  Supporting local economies, conservation of wildlife and environmental sustainability are incredibly important to me, and what I am conscious of as I explore. I hope to enhance your experience of travel through the trials and errors of mine, and take you on a journey of visual wanderlust.  My goal is to live authentically, bravely and with gumption…with my camera in hand.  Would you like to join me on one of my photographic adventures?” -Maria Ricciardi

Aroma of coffee in the morning, there is nothing better to smell, when you are waking up. A cup of warm Joe.

Mike came to Blue Rooster Web a few months back looking for us to improve his current website. Java Joes Fundraising, which is a flash site, used an animate version of his iconic Java Joe. The site was hard to update and it could use a nice modern look. So we set off the make Java Joe hip again.

We made a slight update to Joe’s appearance, he walks out now having a cool pair of Ray Bans, smart phone, wireless ear buds and of course a pair of skater shoes. The site got an upgraded clean appearance, mobile compatible responsive tone. Lastly, we then combined three sites into one Java Joes Coffee, Cookie Joe and Fudge Joe.

Finally in a few weeks to come, we will be upgrading the store to an all in one e-comerence solution that integrated directly into Amazon for fulfillment.

There are a lot of other features that we were not apart of but, it makes Java Joes into a real fundraiser powerhouse allowing people anywhere to do fundraising with out having to put in a lot of effort. Check out Java Joes Fundraising new site at https://javejoesfundraiser.com

When she came to me with the original idea, I thought she was crazy. Financial services paired with the idea of home. Calculating Destiny is a professional  services and accounting company, dedicated to the tag line (which we created for them); “Strategic solutions that revolve around numbers allow you to exactly calculate your growth model through creative marketing, compliance, and metrics. Our partnership with you is designed to help direct your books, to turn ideas into profits.” How could this be about home?

Home is where the heart is. It is where we begin our day and end our day. In between, we think about home; our partner, our children, our pets and the spaces that surround them. In between the love of home, is the right to protect, nourish and grow it. This is where the financial part comes in. The numbers are what help build these memories, the structures, and the family. As business owners/leaders, our drive to create comes from our businesses, and what our business produces. Although it was crazy, the marriage of these two idea’s is genius.

Lets remove the sterile environment of company, corporate, partnership of firms, and lets come home.

Sun Sign Designs Inc, Digital Marketing Tampa Fl., is proud to offically launch the Tabaneros Cigars’ new website and mobile site. We were contracted to design a mobile platform to handle Tabanero’s cigar inventory in an innovative way. The mobile site features a vertical and horizontal product slide display and an one touch product purchase system. Tabanero vision was to present an experience to the cigar smoker life style. Their product photography needed a way to show case the cigar lifestyle, Cuban hand man cigar craftsmanship, and extraordinary packaging. With that said, the entire site was designed around the cigar lifestyle and the expectations of the cigar smoker. To stream line the buying process, a one touch purchase system was built to allow a customer to choose their favorite cigar and proceed to check out. Returning customers would be sent directly to payment processing with out the need to fill in a form.

The site integrates current marketing intelligence and dovetailed consumer remarking to the Tabanero brand. All of this with the intentions to build a market place for other product vendors fitting into the cigar lifestyle paradigm.
