CentreSource launches new site for Mission Discovery
CentreSource recently launched a new site for Mission Discovery, a non-profit faith-based organization in Gallatin, Tenn. Mission Discovery specializes in short-term mission trips, representing a unique opportunity for teens and young adults to volunteer in such activities as building schools in Mexico, teach in Guatemala, or lend a hand in the disaster recovery efforts in Haiti. There are even opportunities closer to home to help inner city school children with their school work. Mission Discovery is all about connecting people with opportunities to grow in their spiritual journey by serving others.
Have a seat: CentreSource launches NashvilleOfficeFurniture.com
We recently launched the Web site for Office Furniture & Related Services (OFRS). As a merchant of new, used and refurbished office furnishings, we built the site so that it would allow visitors to drill down to exactly the product that fits their needs. For OFRS, the site serves as a 24-hour, 7-days a week salesperson. As part of our line of Management services, we will also be working with OFRS to create a powerful SEM campaign to drive highly-targeted leads to their Web site.
More than a Facelift: Nashville Centre for Laser and Facial Surgery
We recently launched a new site for Nashville Center for Laser and Facial Surgery. The practice is lead by Dr. Brian S. Biesman, a world-renowned authority on cosmetic, reconstructive, and laser surgery. For the site, the goal was not only to tell about Dr. Biesman’s practice, but to serve as a repository for helpful resources on a wide range of industry topics, including his own “Face Facts” resources. It was a lot of content — nearly 150 articles on research, services and treatments — and our goal was to make it user-friendly and easy to navigate. Think Wikipedia.
ShopItToMe: Strategies for Reducing Your Unsubscribes
It’s happened to most all of us. We see some site that has great deals on products or services, and we sign up for an email list. But then, after receiving an email a month/week/day/hour, it gets to be too much noise and we hit that all-too-familiar “unsubscribe” link in the footer of the email.

Spy On Your Site Visitors With ClickTale
Over the course of the past few months, our designers and strategists have been hard at work brainstorming and creating a new centresource.com. We’re nearing the completion of this site and can’t wait to share it with you! One thing that we found to be helpful when strategizing the format and features for the new web site were observations that we made while using a tool called ClickTale.
centre{source} Makes a BANG with the Monthly Interactive Mixer
In the fall of 2008, the Strategy team at centre{source} set out to create a plan for expanding the firm’s reach and involvement in the local Nashville Interactive Community. Over the course of a few months, a strategy was formed that involved looking inwardly for personal development opportunities and looking outwardly for ways to become more active and connected with community members. The cornerstone and most valuable component of this strategy has quickly become our practice of hosting a monthly mixer at the c{s} North Fourth office on the last Thursday of each month.
As the “hostess” and organizer of these events, I was initially unsure of what to expect as far as turnout and reception. As we geared up for the first mixer, held in January of 2009, I must have refreshed our Pingg invite list at least 50 times a day. As we got closer to D-Day and RSVPs began rolling in, I quickly realized that what we initially expected to be an event with attendance of around 30-40 was going to become much more!
