For the love of reading

April 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Do you like to curl up with a good book for relaxation? A good portion of the public does so I thought I would take a minute and throw a “shout out” to a couple clients that you might enjoy if you’re looking for a new read.

First, we have the official launch of the newly redesigned Delmio.com - The interactive book for book lovers. (Press Release here) We’ve helped Delmio.com take their site to the next level with a complete redesign and integration into a new CMS system and forum system. We’re all very happy with the new site and have had a lot of fun working with the folks at Delmio.com. This is a site that I know I’ll visit often outside of work to see what’s new and interesting in the book world. Plus, it’s fun to interact and talk about the books that you love or hate and Delmio.com offers a great vehicle for this. If you get some time please check out the site and help get the forums rolling.

Second, we handle the website for acclaimed Indian author and journalist Thrity Umrigar. Thrity’s latest book If Today Be Sweet is going to hit bookstores on May 27th in paperback from Harper Collins. (Pre-order it on Amazon for an additional 5% off!) Here’s a quick quote about the book below and you can read more reviews here.

A stunning new novel from Thrity Umrigar, the bestselling author of The Space Between Us, which explores the trials one woman faces after the death of her husband. If Today Be Sweet is rich with emotion, beauty, texture, and, of course, the magnificent prose that is Umrigar’s trademark.

Sanctuary Media Group has been hired to develop a custom website and world class e-commerce website for our new client Warehouse Direct Lighting.

The website will be built to compete with the best of class sites selling lighting on the internet and will contain potentially tens of thousands of lighting options in every possible style available.

Our challenge with this website will be to design a site that makes searching easy as well as management and fulfillment of orders on the backend. Many suppliers, shipping methods and more variables will increase the complexity of the process but we aim to make the site easy to use and manage ongoing.

In addition to the task of custom designing the site and functionality, Sanctuary will also manage the online marketing efforts of the website and will provide consulting as needed.

We look forward to helping our new client compete in a highly competitive space on the internet and we welcome the challenge.

If you’re interested in purchasing high quality lighting for your home or business, please keep an eye on warehousedirectlighting.com as an amazing resource for lighting online.


Pay-per-click management services

Pay-per-click advertising (or PPC) has become an amazingly effective way to drive targeted traffic to your website with minimal expense compared to traditional advertising mediums like direct mail, radio, print and billboards. PPC advertising allows you to position yourself in front of people who are specifically looking for your products and services. What’s even better is that you don’t pay a penny unless they actually click on your link and visit your website. The only thing better would be a system where you only pay if someone makes a purchase and we don’t see that happening anytime soon. Read more
