An idea recently occurred to me…We have a group of super-tight DJs on our site, and most of them are playing gigs on a regular basis. Since the RV community is worldwide, why not give a head’s up about where our DJs are playing? I feel pretty safe saying that if you catch any one […]

Eddie B’s Upload Highlights (Oct. 6 - Oct. 12)

Posted by Eddie on October 14th, 2006

Some people say that you shouldn’t use your company’s blog to advocate its products…the idea being that your blog should be a heartfelt line of communication with your audience, not a marketing tool. I’ve done some thinking about this issue now, and I’ve concluded that this may be good advice for some companies but not […]

At RV, we take pride in the fact that our site is more than just a download store. In fact, one of my favorite parts of our site is the "Meet the DJs" section. The idea behind this section was two-fold. On the one hand, we wanted to give our visitors the opportunity to hear […]
