ALERT SANIBEL-CAPTIVA ISLANDS, FORT MYERS AND FORT MYERS BEACH!!!!!!  VIP TO READ REGARDING YOUR BUSINESS ON SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA AND CAPTIVA ISLAND, FLORIDA. THIS IS MUST READ! GROW YOUR BUSINESS NOW!

DID YOU KNOW?

We can help your business in many ways. Here are just a few reasons:

Do you have a website? Do you have a blog? Are you attached to all Social Media?  Did you know 400 countries and over 368 social networks are attached to our sites? Many try to do this all themselves, rather than focusing on your own business. We do not own a restaurant, a real estate agency, a retail store, etc. We focus on what we are good at. Shouldn’t you? Think about this for a moment:

What if we switched business’s for a day. Could we run yours? Can you run ours? The answer is obvious. NO!  If you have time to do all we offer, you’re not focusing your energy in the right area. Many try to do it themselves. They get off to a great running start and fizzle out. That is why we are so very important to you. The Internet is POWERFUL. Your looking at it right now! Imagine if more people were looking at your business.Ask yourself this:  Do you really have the time and knowledge to do all necessary to accomplish the goals of all this? If you do, your business is not as successful as it could or should be. FACT.

Here are just some of the projects we can do for you. :

WHAT WE OFFER:

SanibelCaptivaDaily.com was launched in 2008 to promote local business and events. Being extremely successful in that short amount of time, we were forced to open up the FortMyersdaily.com;  and the FortMyersBeachDaily.com with other communities on the horizon.

Our statistics are sound, as they originate in Google’s analytics, greatly effective web-based tools and state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. With our experience and know-how, we can track factual statistics and data about our company’s effectiveness as well as our clients. Our capabilities allow us to monitor visitors to our site and your postings in order to gear your message to your viewer’s desires. This optimizes your exposure to your specified target audience.

Our powerful “add this” button provides the option for the visitor to push the posting onto any of the social networks that they are involved with; launching it out to the world of web.

Unlike other traditional advertising, we average over 500,000 page views or ‘visits’ which are more beneficial –as opposed to ‘hits’ on a web site. A ‘hit’ would be the same as someone window shopping your business; where as a ‘visit’ equates to a customer actually entering your store to look around.

When we first started, we were all about direct traffic, meaning 100% of the people would have to type in for example: www.sanibelcaptivadaily.com because we were so fresh.

Today, with our tremendous growth spurt our numbers changed, 48% are coming to us via search engines, 28% coming to us via referring sites, and now 35 % are direct traffic.

We have accomplished this by utilizing Key Words and SEO in addition to websites throughout the world pulling our feeds and putting them on their own sites, an extremely powerful concept. We are also attached to 8 blog directories and over 368 social networks. In addition to that, our site is seen in every state and well over 400 countries. Each time we do a posting on a client; we “Key Word” and optimize our clients business. The more postings we do, the more powerful their business will become.

With all of this in mind, we literally have the power to catapult you like no other out to the world of Google.

Placing an ad on the Daily.com provides incredible results, a great click-through rate is 10%, and our clients average 50% to 99% depending on their positioning. The reason is our limited advertising space, we do this to ensure our clients are seen and not lost. In addition, we have learned, it is not only the ad but the POWER OF THE POSTING.

Our site has 8 pages and every time someone visits; they average clicking on at least 4 pages, and, they spend about 2.5 minutes on the site. Every day 52% of our visits are by first time viewers. Statistics show that over 80% of those new visitors become daily users.

People can’t miss us when we are working in the field. We are dressed from head to toe in our powerful colors: pink and green, branding and logo. When we are out taking photos, we hand out our signature Daily.com cards to every person we photograph. Our cards are so powerful that people like to hold on to them as if they were credit cards. The cards clearly state, where the photo will be seen within 24 to 48 hours.

Along with our packaging options, we offer a great number of extras to help your business succeed and give you the advantage in the competitive world of on-line marketing.

• Video Production:  A video can be utilized for your company’s web site, online marketing, and television.
• High Resolution Photography:  With High Resolution photos, you have the capability to use them for graphic designs, brochures, and large needed formats. Not only can we take your photos on land, we have the resources to take professional underwater and aerial photography.
• News Release: Creating a document customized for your target audience, locally, nationally or international by distributing them to the proper channels.
• Web Design:  It is extremely important to have a well-known presence on the web which the Daily.com can accommodate. We have the capability to design and create your online personality while optimizing it to full potential, with the best developers around.
• Social Media Workshop: As we have learned over the years, this will enhance your business as we work together to catapult you into the world of web. We enjoy training our clients how to do things for themselves when it comes to the ever-changing art of technology.
• Social Media Maintenance: You as a business owner may not have the time readily available to maintain your own social media presence. We offer services where we maintain your accounts/pages for you to free up more time within your daily responsibilities.

And much, much more such as:

• Mobile SMS Text Package
• Event planning
• Q R codes

Just to name a few….It is ever-changing daily.

If your business is not keeping up with the ever-changing trends of online media and you’re not using any if not all of the above, statistics show your competitors who are, already have an extremely substantial advantage.

We look forward to working with you and helping you grow your business through this fast and ever-changing world of technology.

IT’S TIME TO TAKE CONTROL. LITERALLY! CALL US TODAY SO WE CAN HELP YOU DESIGN A PACKAGE FOR YOUR BUSINESS TO SUCCEED.. 239-822-6593

We are so honored to have spent a great day with  LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE K-9 UNIT,FORT MYERS, FLORIDA TRAINING CENTER

Deputy Reed, Deputy Thorpe, Sgt. Glover and Deputy Lopez

 Thanks to Sheriff Mike Scott, Lieutenant Larry King and Head K-9 Trainer Sgt. Frank Glover and all the staff of LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE K-9 UNIT

Meeting with the team of Sergeants and Deputies, we learned a lot of what they do to teach, train and keep these amazing dogs in great condition in many ways.

First Sgt. Glover, trainer finds them and runs them through a serious of tests to see if they are capable to handle the job at task. And it is a big one.

The dogs, save lives, find drugs and sometimes sadly get hurt in the line of duty, as they are many times the first to go in…….However, the dogs appear to be sweet, kind and loving not to mention beautiful. And they are, but…………beware! They know when it’s working time and they don’t mess around at all. Trust us; we got a taste of them. Strong and Smart!

The dogs at  LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE K-9 UNIT,FORT MYERS, FLORIDA TRAINING CENTER range from 2 years old in training to 12 years depending on the ability level and health. Speaking of health, these dogs are taken very good care of. With a special diet and vet to check them frequently. With a ton of love. 

They are very in shape. They really seem to love their job and it almost looks like they are having fun at training, but they are really working. They enjoy it.

 “They basically play a game of hide and seek; the dogs are very valuable to us as we use them to locate all kinds of things. Humans, narcotics etc.. Our dogs are partners and as they saying goes…..a little bit different: Sheriffs best friend” States Sgt. Frank Glover.

What we found so interesting is these dogs go home with these men and women who then are family dogs. Just like most of us have. When the special collar comes out and they get in the work vehicles they know, it’s work time. Really amazing.

I hope these pictures can give you an idea of just how hard they all work and why. To be able to cover this was a wonderful experience and one we will not ever forget. Kevin even took one for the team and tried on one of the tools they use called the bite bar sleeve.

They also have a full bite suit. A bit much for us, we thought, let’s allow the pros to handle that……..lol. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did and please respect your animals.

Thank you so much to the Lee County Sheriff’s Department for the wonderful experience to show us and people everywhere what goes on behind the scenes of a working K-9. Below: see Sgt. Janke and his dog: Kaos , This is Deputy Thorpe with his dog: Jager, This is Deputy Reed with his dog: Zeus, And of course Deputy Lopez with his narcotic dog in training: Raider the Lab. Trainer, Sgt. Frank Glover with partner: Sabr. click below to see some amazing pictures and be sure to stay tuned for the video……..on  LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE K-9 UNIT,FORT MYERS, FLORIDA TRAINING CENTER

Who loves golf? Florida is one of the best places!

More than $4,900 was awarded to Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida for its week long summer business camp, CEO Academy, by the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens. The funds will support real-world experiential programs that help Southwest Florida teens stay in school and graduate. CEO Academy will serve approximately 40 teens through this Graduate to Go experience grant. 

Thirty-two rising high school juniors and seniors from Charlotte, Lee and Collier County High Schools will experience CEO Academy, to be held the week of June 25 – 29 at Florida Gulf Coast University. The purpose of the CEO Academy is to inspire and prepare young people to be the outstanding business leaders and CEOs of tomorrow. High school attendees will learn the mechanics of a business plan based on entrepreneurship, ethics, finance, global economics and marketing. These topics will be presented by local, successful business leaders who will share real-life practicalities of the business world.

“We are honored to be recognized by the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens for our long-time commitment to high school graduation and long-term success among teens,” said Anne Frazier, President/CEO of Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida. “It’s because of partnerships like this that we are able to offer career, community and educational experiences that inspire our teen members to stay committed to earning their high school degree and move onto great things in life.”The Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida is one of more than 250 organizations nationwide that will receive a portion of $2.7 million granted by the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens. Graduate To Go™ is a long-term effort, launched by the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens, to raise awareness of the high-school dropout crisis and encourage teens to get their diploma. The initiative funds real-world experiences, such as job training and college preparation, proven to motivate teens to stay in school. Funds were raised through local Taco Bell restaurant owners and Taco Bell customers. By the Numbers

America’s high school dropout rates are staggering, with one student dropping out of high school every 26 seconds. More than 30 percent of U.S. teens and up to 50 percent of Latinos and African Americans fail to graduate with their class. Dropouts are more likely than high school graduates to be unemployed, in poor health, living in poverty, in prison, or on public assistance.** “The teen graduation crisis is a major hurdle for America as we strive to remain an innovative and powerful global leader,” said Shawn Winkler, Senior Manager Taco Bell Foundation for Teens. “The vital partnerships and programs we are funding today allow Taco Bell to help teens build a foundation for a future success through the vehicle of graduation.”

About the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens

The Taco Bell Foundation, Inc., dba Taco Bell Foundation for Teens (TBFT), a non-profit 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation, is committed to addressing the growing number of high school dropouts in the U.S. by providing teens with mentors and real-world experiences that motivate them to stay in school, graduate and achieve more in life. Since 1995, TBFT has donated more than $30 million to support teen programs at Boys & Girls Clubs of America and other teen-serving organizations. TBFT has done this with the help of ongoing customer, franchisee and employee donations. For more information about TBFT, visit www.tacobellfoundationforteens.org.

Spring in Fort Myers Florida

The Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida has awarded an $8,900 grant to Southwest Florida Addiction Services (SWFAS) to provide educational needs for women recovering from substance abuse at SWFAS’ Transitional Living Center on Dixie Parkway in Fort Myers.

The money will be used to purchase computers, software and educational materials for about 25 women in recovery to enable them to complete coursework and file job applications.

The overall goal is to help women in recovery obtain the skills they need to earn a living wage and become self-sufficient in the workplace.

“We are so grateful to the women of Zonta who have so graciously supported our women for many years,” said Transitional Living Center Director Rosemary Boisvert. “Our goal is to remove the barriers that prevent them from being successful. If they need financial assistance for tuition, we can help with that. If they need help with supplies or transportation to get to school or training, we can assist with that as well.

“While at SWFAS’ Transitional Living Center, the women work very hard at learning skills for the job of living in sobriety, this grant will help them build on their newfound skills and give them something more to enhance their chances of maintaining their sobriety and self-sufficiency,” Boisvert said.

“We have been very fortunate to have this long lasting relationship with the Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva. The Zonta Club gives our women far more than dollars. They also give of themselves,” Boisvert said.

Zonta has been a partner with the women in the SWFAS Transitional Living Center since 2000 and has provided grants totaling $65,724 to support the needs of women recovering from substance abuse.

SWFAS opened the 16-bed women’s halfway house at the SWFAS Transitional Living Center in 2009. The women’s facility provides treatment for 40 to 50 women per year who have completed the residential treatment program and moved into the halfway house for extended treatment.

SWFAS is the most comprehensive substance abuse treatment and prevention program in Southwest Florida, serving 6,000 people per year from ages 9 to 90. SWFAS offers outpatient and residential programs for both adults and youngsters from five locations in Lee County and two in Hendry County. In addition, SWFAS provides detoxification services for adults, prevention programming, and an Employee Assistance Program for about 50 Southwest Florida businesses.

SWFAS services are not free. Payment plans are available and, in many cases, private insurance may cover some of the cost of treatment. Many prevention and treatment services are partially supported by Lee County and state funding to help income-eligible residents. SWFAS is a United Way agency. SWFAS provides services for all regardless of disability or handicap. Accommodations will be provided upon request.
