Hello TeamBonding Team,

We are making it through this economic downturn with planning, determination and hard work. And we are starting to augment our incoming business from our various websites, SEO and Google marketing with a proactive, outbound marketing campaign directed at creating partners with DMCs, Event Planners, Meeting Planners and Venues like Hotel Resorts and Convention Centers.

David Goldstein is also testing a “Live Chat” feature to www.TeamBondingWest.com so that potential clients can ask questions right from our website in live time! This is a real cool, cutting-edge tool. If this “Live Chat” feature works out well, we can add it to our other websites.

And in case you missed it, there is our TeamBonding video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdO0dblhmbs

Game Show Mania: “I just wanted to let you know how great Ray Assanti was with the “Game Show Mania” event last Thursday. He kept the crowd in an upbeat mood, kept the game moving along to meet our time constraints, and was very personable to everyone. This event really made the afternoon fun! The game was also a great catalyst to have the department actually pay attention to our goals & objectives. I also have to compliment you on the structure of the game. The pop culture questions were a good mix to encompass the wide age range of our group – good job! Our group is still talking about it! If I am tasked to be part of another event preparation team, you can be sure that TeamBonding will be considered!”

Dancing Through the Decades: “More proof God exists: I didn’t pull a muscle doing a karate kick dressed as Elvis…! What a show…great stuff and the crowd just loved it. They even asked “how many times do you guys perform this show” LOL! Why was the show sogreat? The talent you hired. Paul - without his mastery of music, mixing and video…well obviously the show would not be a show.Christina – what can’t she do?Duane – sings so well and can mix and mingle like no other.Makes people feel very welcomed. Charlotte –In a word…WOW. This woman never ceases to amaze me…how she can immediately grasp a show’s flow and assist the other actors. She has costumes that fit everyone too, she sings, she dances and has amazing capacity to sense an audience and respond to it. In addition, she can immediately notice when a group or individual audience member has not had any “attention” by us…she can envelope them so well. I just had to let you know.”
