The suggestions on ways to improve the Business Bulletin are much appreciated. This column, for example, is the outgrowth of a suggestion from a former colleague.
This publication remains in the “Beta” stage . All ideas and constructive criticism are welcome.
A couple of sharp-eyed readers took note of distorted photos, an issue that is being addressed.
That brings us to PressDe.org, the new initiative aimed at getting news from non profits and small businesses to the media.
The website site will offer a convenient distribution point along with a how-to guide on writing and distributing news in a way that does not consume too much time or energy.
At the kick-off event last week, a large number of press releases were distributed to members of the media. (See story in this issue).
Some releases will be posted on the DelawareBusinessDaily.com website. Some content will migrate a new column in this publication, entitled Not for Profit. The column makes its debut in this issue. PressDE also has a Twitter presence and a Facebook page.
As far as the Business Bulletin is concerned, routine news items, such as promotions, new product lines and yearly sales awards, are welcome.
Original content is another key to the success of the Business Bulletin and your business could rate a story. If so, pass along a note via the contact form on DelawareBusinessDaily that briefly outlines the qualities that make your business unique.
Activity at closed inn
Clean-up company Belfor is at the scene of the former Comfort Suites off Route 273 in Christiana.
The hotel has been vacant and fenced off for some time. However, the economy has been slowly recovering and properties have opened.
The latest opening came when the long-vacant hotel off I-95 near New Castle reopened under the Sheraton nameplate and under the ownership of Hersha Hospitality Trust. Hersha owns two properties in north Wilmington.
Coming next is a long-awaited Westin hotel next to the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington.
Markell not a moderate?
Not everyone went along with my point of view in last week’s column on Gov. Jack Markell facing an increasingly ornery legislature when it came to plans to privatize the Port of Wilmington.
A representative of the Caesar Rodney Institute said Markll could hardly be viewed as a centrist given his work with Fisker Automotive and Bloom Energy. By the way, Markell did sign the bill giving the legislature more oversight over any port deal.
