Greetings!,

Despite the frigid, bone-chilling, Chicago cold, Black Jade Creative has managed to stick to its growth resolutions thus far in 2010! We know it is easy to claim victory over our resolutions only having elapsed a month on the 2010 calendar, but BJC is sowing a strong future in 2010 by finalizing our Client Relationship Database, strengthening our SEO rankings, and expanding our endeavors into Social Media via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and its Bloom&Blog.  How are you doing in maintaining your resolutions thus far?

How can BJC help you see your goals
through in 2010?

The whole point of having resolutions is getting results.  Black Jade Creative is happy to announce that we have reached our first Facebook milestone with exceeding 100 fans this month!  We hope to see more of you engage with us this year on all of our social media channels, Facebook included.  We would love to hear about your New Year triumphs! If you are not a fan yet, don't miss out on the conversation any longer.  Wishing you the best in Round 2 of 2010! Cheers!
