Elyk Starts a Bonfire!
Internet Strategy for your business
How to increase sales 30% annually
Recent
website launches
2007
SBLY award
In February we launched our latest product called Bonfire. Bonfire is an easy-to-use tool that lets you track the status of ongoing projects on a wide range of dimensions from any internet connection. When you login you will instantly see which projects are on schedule and which are behind. You can monitor all related "Todos" and filter by project, employees or status.
Any business that has more than 1 client can use Bonfire.
Many web based project management solutions force users to adopt new, unfamiliar processes that cause users more work. Bonfire is designed as a fast, easy to use solution to enhance and improve any processes that you already have. Team productivity will skyrocket in a collaborative environment that is customized to your unique work process.
It doesn’t matter if you a have formal process in place, or you're starting for the first time, Bonfire can provide you and your team with the tools you need to complete projects on time and under budget.
Why Bonfire???

It's easy to use, customized to your specific needs...
with all the powerful functionality you would expect from a more expensive program.
Other project management tools have features that rarely get used and get in the way of effective collaboration.
We know the most important feature is simplicity.
We've “burned” the complicated stuff that gets in the way of effective project management.
Access information 24 hours a day from any internet connection.
Give different levels of access to users based on their roles in the project. |

Last month we covered the basic criteria and requirements of a professional business website. We stated that if your website met the basic criteria you are well positioned to take the next step and really put it to work for you.
When developing your internet strategy you need to ask 3 questions.
- Does your website bring leads to your business? Leads become new clients and that means new revenue.
- Does your website serve your current clients? If your website is a resource, your clients will keep coming back and that keeps you at the top of their contact list.
- Does your website help your employees? Your website should help your team increase productivity, improve performance and contribute to the growth of the company.
This month we will answer the 3rd question first. With the recent launch of Bonfire, we felt it was appropriate.
Designing and building productivity tools and integrating them into your website may sound complicated, however, it really is quite simple. Take a moment and think about how you spend your day. What business activities take most of your time? What drives your efforts, what slows you down?
Now imagine that the information, activity or process that is most important to you can be accessed at anytime from any internet connection. Imagine that tracking, updating and reporting that information is a few clicks of a mouse.
Case Studies:
Best Fence Co.
The Best Fence company needed a way to manage the hundreds of project inquiries they get every month. We designed a system that is used from the first phone call, through the bidding process, through permitting and finally project completion. The system even reminds them to send the final invoice when a project is complete. This project is web based, it is integrated with the client website and is hosted and maintained by our team.
Superior Construction
Superior Construction is one of the largest construction companies in the United States and has a constant need for hiring qualified workers. We developed an easy to use application process that allows them to accept, evaluate and properly file employment applications. In addition, they can generate EEO reports in minutes instead of hours, from any internet connection. This project is web based, it is integrated with the client website and is hosted and maintained by our team.
Read the business Journal Article about how Superior Construction increased productivity with a web based productivity tool developed by our team.
Every business, no matter what the size has a need for increased productivity. Increased productivity leads to a more profitable business and that means success.
Recommendation: Analyze your own productivity and then call us to discuss how we can take that to the web.
Next month we will address how your website will serve your existing clients.

It is no secret that part of our success has been our involvement with the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce. In the 3 years we have been members, our revenue has increased an average of 30 % each year…and most of our business comes from contacts or referrals from other Chamber members. If you receive this enews and are not currently a member, I encourage you to call me today and I can connect you with a chamber account manager. Chamber membership is the best investment you can make in your business.
