The Website www.arizonaboatingandwatersports.com began at the same time. The original plan was to do a similar paper and Web site for numerous other states. We did numerous radio shows from the beginning, sometimes as many as five per week, to promote our paper and Web site. Shortly after we began the paper, the economy took a serious downturn and boating in particular was compromised. We expanded
our reach to include other outdoor activities including camping, fishing, hunting RVing, watersports and wildlife. We also began the Rock The Boat project. RBT www.rtboat.com was a designed to save vintage Chris Craft boats from being destroyed and at the same time, to provide funds to Superstition Search & Rescue. In order to provide more reach to our products, we started a weekly e-mail newsletter that is now called AZBW/WOT Weekly. This newsletter goes out to thousands around the globe each week. I sent you several issues. The next item we added to our group was Western Outdoor Times www.westernoutdoortimes.com. The purpose of WOT was to expand our reach into neighboring states, Canada and Mexico. Other Web names were also obtained in order to further promote this entity in the future. At this time, our purpose is to bring more traffic to our Web sites and in the process, bring more advertisers to our print version as well. If you look at our Web sites, you will see that there are numerous ways for businesses to put their products and services in front of audiences that are appropriate for them. This is the area we are looking for your expertise. At this time the areas of concentration for each of our entities are as follows:
AZBW Print – Many advertisers are only comfortable with print. The paper provides a catalyst for our other products. AZBW – This Web site will be transformed from containing stories to a “complete” directory and guide to the outdoors in Arizona. WOT – This Web site will be the vehicle for all of the stories that appear in the print version as well as many other stories that are added each month. AZBW/WOT Weekly – This will continue to serve as a means of bringing viewers to our Web sites as will your work with social media. RTB – This will continue to serve the purpose stated above. RTB is a 501C-3 company. We will continue to expand its potential.
