An Open Letter to Our Valued Clients: RESPONSE! is Moving

2011 was a good year for us here at RESPONSE! Due to your confidence and trust you placed in us to assist you with your marketing needs, our business grew. Thus we ran out of space and start looking for bigger and better premises.

When we embarked on our search for new premises I wanted to locate an exciting creative space while remaining focused on what is growing our business: our clients. We have always enjoyed an open door attitude where clients could drop in to talk to us about their marketing, find out about progress being made on their campaigns or just to bounce ideas around. The door was so open, in fact, many of you snuck up on us at our desks by coming in through the back door! Thus I knew it was important that when we embarked on this move that we must keep this open door atmosphere and welcoming environment because I value our relationships as the primary cause of our continued success.

At the same time I knew we wanted to be centrally located and connected to the Saint Louis business community. Let me explain:

In 2011 we started providing marketing training around the Saint Louis area. Our partnership with Constant Contact has put us in front of small businesses like yours delivering training on email marketing and social media. With the ever changing landscape of promotion in the 21st century we understand there is a need to educate business owners and their staff on using the internet effectively in order to empower them with the marketing tools they need to expand their businesses and achieve their goals. Thus we not only extensively expanded our online marketing portfolio of products and services but we took on the additional responsibility to train owners and managers on navigating the big, wide, wonderful and confusing internet landscape.

In 2012 we are further extending our training services to delivering marketing boot camps. This is not just good news for our local clients within Missouri. For those of you located in other states we have plans to launch live online webinars plus tutorial videos to provide training to all our clients so look out for event announcements.

But to return to the subject of our upcoming move, when we went “office hunting” our relationships and our clients were foremost in our minds and I was not willing to compromise on this point. Which is how we came to find our new premises.

The new, bigger, better RESPONSE! offices will be located in the historic CF Blanke Building downtown (within the Purina Campus). Within walking distance of the baseball stadium and with a grand view of the arch, the Scottrade Center and the entire downtown district it is a creative space sure to encourage ideas and foster new campaigns and strategies.

“Downtown?” you say, “But what about parking? I don’t think I can visit you downtown!”

Never fear, the Blanke Building has free, on-site, secure visitor parking right outside the front door. The building is easily accessible from several freeways and we have mapped a number of alternate routes to skip the traffic on game days.

You will not believe the view which is why you will have to see it for yourself – as soon as we are moved in feel free to drop on by and enjoy a cup of coffee overlooking the City of Saint Louis, the magnificent Gateway to the West, while we work out strategies to get your business to the next level.

Rest assured there will be no interruption of services and our phone lines will remain open and unchanged throughout the transition.

I believe 2012 will be the year of smart strategies, smart partnerships and exciting potential and I look forward to experiencing it with you!
