When 2010 dawned, MHMarketingSalesManagement.com (MHMSM.com) was a great information source for our readers. We had a website that published articles on a monthly basis from some of the finest minds in manufactured housingand we were sending two emails per week, just as now, to keep our readers informed.
We also had three blogs, Tony Kovach’s the Masthead, my own Cutting Edge of Online Marketing and Tim Connor’s Words of Wisdom.
On January 25th, we added the Industry Voices blog which gave a place for anyone in the industry to sound off on topics that they though were important. Industry Voices has grown into a vital sounding board for the industry.
We followed with the Inspiration blog, launched on March 13. This blog has since featured some fine quotes, quips, videos and stories of an inspirational nature.
March 8 saw the introduction of the Newsletter blog that carries a copy of every email newsletter since that date. Anyone having a problem with the email can click a link and get the news on the blog.
June 4 saw the first News at Noon (NaN) Podcast featuring the voice talent of Erin Patla. Industry in Focus Reporter Eric Miller and Associate Editor Catherine Frenzel soon joined the NaN team and the synergy gave birth to the Daily Business News blog in November which carries all of the stories heard on NaN plus. The Daily Business News is updated throughout the day as stories present themselves.
MHMSM.com now carries more news and views than any other publication in the industry. At this writing, we are drawing over 1,200 visitors and 6,100 pageviews daily. That’s a long way from where we started and I’d like to thank all of our readers for making this success possible.
We have plans to make 2011 an even better year for MHMSM.com, the industry and you, beginning with the Louisville Manufactured Housing Show in January. What a great way to start a new year!
Finally, I am taking a few days to visit with family for the holidays. This blog will be back on January 3, 2011. I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season and a very prosperous New Year.
