As the baby boomer generation ages and families find themselves caught in the “sandwich” generation, many families are finding home health care to be a viable option to take care of family members.

When Chuck Mullin founded First Call Home Health in 2002, he had the desire to look beyond traditional home health and instead take a modern, holistic approach and look at the needs of the whole person. His goals were accomplished as he built a successful home Salem Oregon home health care company.  Now the company has recently debuted a new web site and online marketing initiatives after working with Third River, a Salem Oregon web design and marketing firm.

“With the mainstreaming of social media, blogging, and video, we felt like now was a great time to update our web site in order to better share the vision of holistic home health with a wider audience”, stated Jacob Mullin, administrator at First Call Home Health and Chuck’s son. “By providing tips, resources, and updates on a more regular basis, we can help more families as they experience the need for home health care.”

The new web site incorporates a blog, video Q&A, a newsletter, and full integration with the company’s social media profiles.
“We’re excited about the possibilities of connecting in new ways and building a wider audience via our newsletter, blog, Twitter, and Facebook”, added Jacob.

Sadly, the senior Mullin did not get to see the end result of all their efforts, as he became ill and passed away earlier this year. Fortunately his vision lives on as First Call Home Health continues to be a leader in holistic home health care in Salem, Albany, Corvallis, and the mid-Willamette valley.

Key project features include;

• built on the WordPress content management system with a custom design
• complete social media integration including custom designed Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook channels
• built in blog for articles and healthy living tips
• video marketing with interviews and FAQ videos
• email newsletter

Staged to Sell & Northwest Home Remodeling LLC, a Portland Oregon Home Staging firm, recently launched their own marketing makeover with a little help from The Third River, Inc.  Michelle Seidelman, owner of Staged to Sell, had attended a seminar on social media marketing taught by Tim Fahndrich, president of The Third River, Inc.  She loved the concept of social networking, blogging, and creating more Google juice, but knew that she didn’t have the time nor the expertise to pull it off by herself.

Staged to Sell knows home staging. They stage over 150 properties each year in the greater Portland area.  Staged To Sell owns a vast collection of beautiful furniture, art and accessories ranging in style from formal traditional to urban chic. Staged To Sell prides itself on it’s fine reputation for excellent customer service, quality work, and competitive pricing with payment options.

Working with The Third River, Inc, they now have a brand new web site that allows them to manage themselves by publishing short home staging tips and showcasing home staging projects and success stories.  Michelle recently tweeted her first tweet and wrote her first blog post using the new web site.

JD and Kristina Ribali had tried just about everything when it came to advertising their McMinnville lawn care business, Green & Clean Lawn Care & Household Services.   Then they came across the idea of doorhangers … and it worked.  In fact, it worked so well that they started a business creating and distributing marketing materials for other companies, and DoorPoint Ads was born.

As their business grew, they knew that they needed a web site but couldn’t seem to find the time to get it done.  So they hired The Third River, Inc., a Salem web design company, to design and build a web site.  Their two primary objectives are 1) showcase the services they provide and 2) showcase local coupons from their advertisers.

Because the coupons will change each month, they needed a content management system that allowed them to change the coupons out quickly and easily.  We selected WordPress for the job because of it’s flexibity and ease of use.

We also setup an email marketing program for them that allows customers to sign up to receive an email each month when new coupons are available.  Coupons are currently on the site from merchants in Salem, McMinnville, Sherwood, and Newberg.

Platform:  WordPress

Key Features:

• Content Management System
• Drop-down menus
• Ability to click on coupons and print out just the coupon
• Email Newsletter
• Contextual sidebar (allows for different sidebar items depending on where the user is in the site)
• An ongoing maintenance program to keep things updated

While we were at it, we also built a new web site for the lawn care company too!
