CenLa Urgent Care – Site is LIVE!
The CenLa (Central Louisiana) Urgent Care Clinic in Alexandria, LA is set to open Feb. 1, 2011. VPI President of Strategic Marketing Jared Cullop spent the better part of this week in Alexandria. He negotiated billboard contracts, office and lobby signage, and initial grassroots marketing plans in the area. Their website, located at www.cenlaurgentcare.com, is the newest on our Efficiency Website Design. This site is great for businesses who don’t need a big flashy website, but they DO need a nice website that shows their location and what they have to offer. This format of design also inherently does REALLY well on search engine optimization.
A3 Athletics – Chris Lofton
A3 Athletic Agency, a core client of ours, recently had us develop a website for a basketball player who may soon be on everyone’s lips: Chris Lofton. This site is based on a Joomla! content management system, and has some fairly complex Flash modules throughout. Check it out! If the format of this site is something similar to what you’d like to have for your business or product, email or call us to set up a meeting!
CenLa Urgent Care
CenLa Urgent Care Clinic is set to open its doors in Mid-January. We've been engaged to develop their Visual Identity, including their logo and all print designs and such. Additionally, CenLa has opted for the "VPI Efficiency" website, which will launch this week. This website works well on all iDevices, has a highly detailed traffic analyzer, allows for patients to download forms so that they can be seen promptly when entering the clinic, allows Facebook & Twitter integration, and also has secure email forms for visitors to ask questions. This site design is extremely beneficial for Search Engine Optimization, and we include SEO tagging and submission…All this, for $2,000. It's a package we've only offered for 4 weeks, and is already becoming one of our most popular!
M2HCG – Homeopathic Weight Loss Online Store and Support
This site for Metabolic Method – M2HCG has more technology in it than first apparent. Of course, it has the rotating testimonial window on the home page, all of which is perfectly visible on an iPad or iPhone, but the store tracks the functions and purchases of a buyer and allows M2 to prompt the client when certain checkpoints in their weight loss should be occurring. Additionally, the customers can choose online support, which we worked with Voices Heard Media (a company with an absolutely amazing product for immediate consumer feedback) to develop. Now the customers can go online, ask a question, and it immediately gives them the most relevant question that has already been answered and shows them that answer. At the same time, it prompts an M2 Customer Support Specialist that there is a question, and they answer it immediately there on the screen. On top of this, they have a “Biggest Loser” competition on the site. We programmed a way that only M2 customers can enter, but anyone can vote, but only once. These votes by the online community are tracked in real-time on the site, with the winner receiving quite a large (forgive the pun) award! Lastly, the store function has the most up-to-date security suite available. We’re quite proud of how this site has turned out, and hope you’ll give it a look! (Judging by the before and after pictures that they continue to send us, you might also give them the chance to shed the extra pounds that you’re about to put on later this month!) Does your business need a site like this? We know how to do it, and at a very competitive rate. But what makes us special is that, from the beginning of the project, your VPI team is there helping you craft your message, layer your sales pitch, and deliver it through the close of the purchase. After all, we ARE business advisors. Thanks again, Metabolic Method, and have a blessed 2011! (As always, click the image in this post to view the site, which is at www.m2hcg.com)
IFS group – Insurance & Financial Services
www.IFSTN.com After completing all of their Visual Identity Packages, doing a branding study, and defining key market differentiators, we have completed the IFS website. This website is really three in one, as it has a PMG Benefits Consulting website within it, as well as an RHP Certified Public Accountants website. Of all that we learned through working with this team, the biggest lesson was that they REALLY know what they’re talking about. This company has so many clients willing to vouch for their expertise. We strongly suggest all business owners, small to large, to talk with them. Every client seems so emphatic about how their costs were greatly reduced and employee benefits were increased. Thanks so much to all of you at IFS, PMG Benefits Consulting, RHP CPA’s, and Visionary Horizons Wealth Management!
Crown Point Consultants
We have been honored to work with Alan Baker and his team at Crown Point Consultants on many projects in the past. From energy saving devices needing funding, to writing business plans for a client with an incredible idea, we’ve had our hands in the clay with CPC. We were honored when they asked us to develop a simple website for them that would allow them to post updates on projects via an iPhone into an online Business Journal. Well, we got it done for them. Please take a look at the site. Additionally, this is the most affordable way to build a website, and extremely functional. We can develop a site like this for you for less than $3,000.
Great news from VPI Client, Campus Special- Congratulations!
The Campus Special Named to the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Companies in America
8/24/10 – The Campus Special has been named to the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Companies in America. After 5 consecutive years of double digit growth, The Campus Special makes its debut on the list at #1390.
“We are honored to be included on the prestigious list as one of the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America," says Chau Nguyen, Co-Founder of The Campus Special. “As a start-up, our original goal was to save college students money. We worked hard to provide students with a targeted coupon book with discounts on every day needs. When the recession hit, we saw it as an opportunity to leverage the economy and help our advertisers adapt their marketing strategy, while helping students survive tough times. Today The Campus Special publishes at 100 college campuses and is one of the most recognizable publications within the 18-24 year old demographic. I’d like to thank all of our employees, clients, and students for their continued support. We are committed to serving as a bridge between college students and local businesses.”
“Our goal in 2011 is to break into the Inc. 500 list and we have a few projects underway to get us there. This fall, The Campus Special launched an online Food Court which allows students to order food online from restaurants in their college towns. We’ve created a marketplace where local restaurant owners can market to students via the web and students can order from the convenience of their computer or mobile device. 2,000 restaurants have already signed up for the service and students have already started ordering as Fall semester kicks off.”
The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2006 through 2009. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2006, and therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they have to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of December 31, 2009. Notable alumni include Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Jamba Juice, Timberland, Visa, Clif Bar, Patagonia, Oracle, and scores of other powerhouses.
The Campus Special is the nation's largest distributor of coupons on college campuses and a virtual Food Court where students can order food online. We work with 100 college campuses reaching 4 million students in 38 states and servicing over 7,000 clients. Our award winning internship program has helped over 1,500 college students gain hands on experience in marketing/sales. Visit us on the web at www.CampusSpecial.com

Orlando Eye & Oculoplastics – Website nearly done
We pressed hard through the weekend, hoping for a launch of the new Orlando Eye & Oculoplastics website this coming week. Here's a bit of a teaser for it now. It's very visually impacting, and even has an online appointment scheduling area. Here, patients can actually see the availability of appointment times and choose one RIGHT THERE! We'll be letting you know the URL when it's launched later this week.
