Over the years, we've developed strong relationships — and complete confidence — in a small core group of service providers we collaborate with in all areas of Windsor Media's work.
Some began as our clients, some as suppliers, but all have become trusted friends and we recommend them without hesitation:
Digital Design —
planning, building, support, and more
We rely on Karin Choi, of Choice Designs for so many things, but mainly:
• Book Cover Design (samples here), and
• Blog Design
Her Garden Variety Family blog was recognized as a TypePad Featured Blog and check out the Green Sexy environmental blog she publishes with husband Steve.
Visit her Etsy intertwingle shop to see her handmade cut-paper lamps, cards, and more, or her Cafepress Adoption shop for her designs on clothing, baby items, mugs, and more.

Because the book publishing side of our business required a
full-featured e-commerce solution, we turned to Barry Alt and his team
at A2Z Enhanced Digital Solutions
to help us select a web-hosted solution. Barry then designed and
configured the bookstore to complement our blog-centric web presence.
That was back in late 2004, when connecting the storefront to a blog RSS feed sounded pretty crazy to most web design firms. Barry found a way and has been there helping us keep the website and blogs running smoothly together ever since.

Printing and Fulfillment
Rich Selby and his team at Direct2Market Solutions quickly became our exclusive printing and fulfillment source. They understand the needs of POD publishing.
In addition to our books, Direct2Market, a/k/a Selby Marketing Associates, Inc., provides a wide range of services, including CD and DVD production and specialized product assembly and mailings. We found early on that the testimonials on their site are not hype. One that captures our experience: "You always seem to amaze me with your speed, responsiveness, and understanding of what I am trying to accomplish ..."

Marketing and PR Services
When our clients want PR services above and beyond those in our
standard package, we call in the "Good News Gal" D-D Flannery of Flannery Public Relations.
For example, D-D works with Claudia Thomas on her speaking engagements, with WME on our PR efforts, and a diverse group of her own small to mid size company clients.

Donna DeClemente, over at DDC Marketing Group, brings 25 years of marketing experience to her passion for interactive promotions, such as games, sweepstakes, and contests.
Donna's latest innovation is a service she calls SocialSweeps Blogger Promotional Package.

Advisory Groups and Services
When your need to strategically connect with customers, colleagues, and/or mentors includes meeting them face-to-face, CABHQ's services — Renaissance Executive Forums, Customer Advisory Boards, and more — kick in.
Bruce Peters' team at CABHQ provides expert planning, design, and facilitation services that can be integrated with WME's social media strategies, or stand alone.
