of your industry authority.
It is an attractive way for avid readers to aborb interesting niche news categories as well.

YouTube allows videos to easily be shared with friends and neighbors. Additionally, YouTube videos can be embedded
within your website as well. These videos can be embedded in pages within a customized environment. In addition we help
companies utilize Youtube as a way of generating "buzz" for a product or service.
Contact Forms for pre-established sites
Many clients come to Ironpaper requesting new add-ons to their current website. Perhaps they do not want or need
a full upgrade, but would like to benefit from specific tools that were not included in their design on the first go-around.
Contact forms are a common new addition for these clients. Contact forms shelter your email address from SPAM robots and
also allow people to contact you without having to use their own email system locally.
Blog Integration
The world of business is blogging like mad. Blogging has become a very popular way of communicating with customers or employees in a fun
yet liberated way. Ironpaper can integrate many blogging software systems on the market into your website or server easily and efficiently.
Product Launch Photo Pages
To announce the launch of a product, many companies build integrated web, print, video/TV and spot-placed ad campains to
build buzz and name recognition. One very important part of this integrated campaign will be to dedicate a single, easily accessible
online page as an announcement.
Such an announcement can be fitted with a statistics/tracker tool, newsletter sign-up component and a Flash movie showing a more interactive
look at the product. These pages can be the building blocks for constructing a larger communications channel surrounding the product. This service
can also be applied to a larger marketing and re-design campaign--both in terms of expanding search engine networking functions and generating buzz for
a service or product.
Contextual Marketing Solutions
Contextual marketing involves reaching customers at the "right" moment. Such a practice is essential to marketing, but naturally there
can be a broad selection of approaches that potentially could work for your business. Tools such as eCoupons, Quick Swap Templates for time based messages,
web destinations made for events or real world marketing counter-parts, Newsletters that allow experimental design and language tests,
Paid Search Term Campaigns and Query Testing, and live news components for current websites could all become pieces
of a larger contextual online marketing practice for your business.
