Hi, All

[rogerball]

Hi, folks. My name is Roger Ball and I suppose, at my age, I'd have to call myself a seasoned advertising, PR, copy writer. My wife Kathy and I own TwelveSquare Enterprises, Inc. (http://TwelveSquare.net). TwelveSquare is a boutique advertising agency. Given this is a resort area, our clients have been real estate agents and brokers. We also have published a "real estate" shopper since 2001. As a direct result of the housing and financial crises, we closed down the magazine last November and our agency clients have either gotten real jobs, retired or locked themselves in their bathrooms for the duration. So now I'm trying to take my business to the Internet before the wolf comes knocking on our door. And that's more than you ever wanted to know about me.

I haven't done this forum sort of thing since I was addicted to the Science Fiction Forum on CompuServe in the mid-80s, and I'm looking forward to participating here and to meeting you.

Roger, it's great to hear about your background.

I see you are from Ocean City MD. That's such a nice area. I'm in NJ and have been wanting to get back there for a while to vacation. May be headed there in August actually.

Nice to have you here!

Roger,
It's really great to have you here. Thanks for letting us get to know you better. Great intro!

I'm originally from Northern Virginia, grew up in MD and spent some time when I was young at Ocean City. Fun times!

My favorite place in the world is right in your neighborhood, a piece of heaven it is!

Welcome, Roger, you mentioned you do some copywriting, that is a very useful skill to present to others here and online as a service. I wish you the best in finding your way with what you want to do. There is a wonderful group of people and resources here.

Best for now,
Mary

Hi Roger , it's great to meet you. You have a very interesting business background.

PR, Copywriting, etc... are all things that many of us running businesses or even just starting out need often. So, you're definitely. There is definitely still plenty of business to be had out there.

Welcome to the wonderful world of online marketing.

Thank to all who replied. I appreciate you're taking time to do so.

Hopefully, I'll have an opportunity to speak with you again soon.
