Wordpix Hired to Produce Major Historical Book
The Wordpix team has embarked on a year-long project to
research, write, design and produce a 240-page hardbound pictorial history
of the American Florists Exchange - Los Angeles Flower Market. Jan Works, of
Works Words in Fullerton, California, and Steve Clark, of Superior Graphix
in Coweta, Oklahoma, will assist project manager Peggi Ridgway in the
creation of this important historical resource. The book will be released at
a major floral design event to be held at the Los Angeles Flower Market in
April 2008. Wordpix is actively seeking stories and photos from hundreds of
people who have used the Los Angeles Flower Market since its start in
the 1920s, and contributions from companies and individuals who wish to
support the project. Six levels of partner sponsorship are offered and
contributors will be recognized in multiple venues. For more details or to

Wordpix Publishes Web
Marketing Workbook
Successful Website Marketing, a
144-page, book for small business website owners, has
been released by Wordpix. The book
contains exercises, examples, checklists and forms to help website owners
effectively promote their websites and features articles by several
marketing experts including best-selling author and Internet marketer
Catherine Seda, Seda Communication.
One of the goals of the book
is to help the website owner realize what his true product or service
really is, and then to write the keywords and headlines that accurately
reflect the benefits of that product or service to the user. This information can be used in the site's
overall strategy for attracting search engine robots and getting a higher
ranking.
The book includes lists of free
search engines, online (paid) advertising programs, ideas for developing
partnerships with other websites, and many promotional techniques that cost
little (or nothing) to implement. Its core value is in the one-on-one
approach it takes, walking the website owner through the steps of promoting
his website in a personal, tutor-like setting. It is believed to be the only
book formatted as a workbook for the web marketing self help topic.
Successful Website Marketing
sells for $19.95 at the company's online mall at
www.LaZone.com
(we pay sales tax and shipping). It retails at $26.95 at Amazon.com.

Wordpictures
Becomes Wordpix
Aligning with the company's official domain name, WORDPIX.COM, principals at
Wordpictures have moved to change the company's name officially to Wordpix
Solutions.
"In the past, clients and
colleagues have not easily associated the Wordpictures name with our domain
name of Wordpix," says Peggi Ridgway, owner and founder. "Although
we enjoyed our unique Wordpictures name for eleven years, even trademarking
it at one point, we were not able to obtain it as a domain. We feel that
assuming the Wordpix name clarifies everything and puts us right where we
want to be -- creating a wide range of solutions for small businesses and
making it easy for people to find us online."
Address Change. At the same time, the company
has moved its official mailing address from a postal box in La Mirada, a
neighboring town, to P.O. Box 218, Buena Park, CA 90621-0218. The address
move was made to more closely identify this Buena Park-based business.
