Feburary 13, 2009

Hi Ladies,

Every couple of weeks I plan on emailing you…to say Hi and see how things are going.
I realize this first email is much past due, I’ll do better.

First of all, I just want to thank all of you for joining Crazi Beautiful Women as experts in Girlfriend to Girlfriend.
I’ve been very impressed with your blogs, I’ve found them very informative and well written. Each of you are so talented in your areas of expertise. I’ve enjoyed reading comments by viewers; hopefully we’ll get them posting more.

One Month
CBW has officially passed over our one month mark. We’ve been getting some great attention and many many complements. I feel G2G is a gem all in it’s self, no other website (that I’ve seen) presents experts quite like we do.

Utah Valley Magazine
CBW is being featured in Utah Valley Magazine's next issue (march/april). We're antispacting a new audience visiting CBW...so if you've yet to post...get them going!
We are pushing hard at a CBW press release. We's hitting all the local newspapers, magazines, studio 5, good things utah, etc. If any of you have "connections" let us know.

Banners
One of the thing I wanted to tell you about is the new banners across each of your blogs. I realized quickly after G2G was launched, the area’s need better identifying. If you ever want to change this image, let me know.

Girlfriend to Girlfriend Splash Image
We’ve just launched our G2G splash image (this is the large image on CBW’s main page). Right now Lindsey is our featured expert, Sunday Denise with Fancy Pants Portraits will be featured for the next 3-5 days. I will randomly pick an expert to be featured on this image, but I would like you ladies to also give me feed back on events, certain postings, if you have a newsletter going out to your viewers and you mention CBW I’ll post you on the splash image to give you a larger presence on the web-site.
If you are doing a press release on a new book you just published, get CBW involved and let’s get the word out. I’m here to pump attention to you and your businesses.

Honoring Womanhood
I just added a new box on the bottom of the main page for Honoring Womanhood. Go check it out for a better example. I’m trying to get the community involved with bringing to us women in our community to feature and pay honor to. If any of you would like to be spotlighted, know someone who would be willing to be spotlighted, let me know.

Giveaways

You are all welcome to post comments in hopes of “winning” any of our freebies on CBW. This next week we have a great makeover from Studio Enizio that will be great!

Business Cards
If any of you are interested in handing out business cards, let me know, I can mail you a stack.

Email Friends and Family
It will take a lot to get the word of CBW out. It would be wonderful if you could email all your friends and family and tell them about the website.

Jann and Cece
I need to clearify who Jann and Cece are. J=Julie ann=my middle name (kinda' dorky I know), but it's me. Cece is my beautiful Mother, Her name is Cecile. Her nickname since she was a little girl has been Cece.
About 3 weeks ago my computer crashed and had pictures of us on it that we had just taken. So hopefully I can get those retaken.
I'll tell you a little about me (Julie). I'm married to a wonderful husband (who just brought me home my favorite fudge for V-day), we have four beautiful boys 12,9,5 and 3. We have a great golden retriever named norma-gene and a 4foot corn snake. It's all about boys and dirt at our house...and I love it. Someday we hope to adopt a girl to add to our family, I feel this will complete us.
For now, I'm about as crazi as it gets. I spend hours a day working on CBW, my house is a mess and my kids love pancakes for dinner :)....my husband is a good sport I have to say.

Next email I'll get Cece to chat u all!
In the mean time...I love, love, love your emails....feel free to email me with anything!

Julie
