2010 is starting off on the very busy side – and that’s a good thing. I’d say companies are eager to exit the recession and are willing to once again free up their marketing funds for investing online. Wall Street’s economic news is relatively positive as of late and the typical consumer (excluding the many still laid off) is also lightening up from their 2009 firm wallet grip hold.
However, in the midst of all the positive economic news, we’re still running into the companies, non profits and even individuals who have been hit very hard by 2008-2009. Now, they are making one final desperate attempt to generate income, and sometimes it’s with a “thrive or go bankrupt,” “I’ve put my all into this one,” last effort.
At Sozo Firm, we welcome both. If you’re in marketing at a company that’s ready to see the green and you know your corporate site needs a critical look, give me a call anytime, and I’d be glad to help out. Simultaneously, if your business is struggling and you can relate all too well with the last ditch attempt, I’d be glad to brainstorm with you.
I’m pretty convinced the sun is starting to rise. This is actually the best time to plow forward with an aggressive online campaign while sprucing up the total web presence. Get a large foot ahead of the competition while they’re still conservatively sitting back waiting for an overhead sun.

The team at Sozo Creative just launched a new service targeting the local York, PA / Baltimore, MD region: the Sozo Photo Studio. The photography studio will initially bring creative photography services to the client’s location. Photography services include the following:
- Dance & ballet photography
- Wedding & engagement
- Family portraits, baby pictures
- Sports photography
- And much more
Sozo Photo Studio will primarily serve a 30 mile radius from their new location at Suite 110, 73 East Forrest Avenue in Shrewsbury, PA (they are moving in the first week of January; expect a couple months until photo shoots can take place on site – in fact, they prefer to do shoots at the client’s location).
The official opening date is January 11, 2010. Leading up until that time, the photographers are offering some specials to local dance studios as well as to amateur models interested in expanding their portfolios. Sozo Photo Studio is also offering some TFP (time in exchange for photos) photo shoot opportunities to models, amateurs & wannabees. All three of these opportunities are available for a limited time.
At Sozo Firm, we’re excited about the current restructuring and brainstorming taking place as we strategize (is that a word?) to more efficiently and effectively succeed entering 2010 and beyond. We’ve recently broken Sozo Firm Inc into a set of three focused divisions: Sozo Creative, our creativity division; Sozo Logic, our consulting division; and Sozo Ad Agency, our marketing group (all three new divisions will need websites built). Sozo Photo Studio is the first service to emerge from this recent restructuring as we strive to become a company more involved with our local communities. It will be exciting to see what the days ahead hold for us.
