Free Consulting to Help Rebuild Economy after Katrina
August 29, 2006 | 4 comments
As many of you know I grew up in South Louisiana. I have decided to offer my consulting and training services free to businesses of the Golf Coast to help rebuild the economy that has been devastated by Hurricane Katrina and Rita.
I am a firm believer in giving others the tools to help themselves. My goal is to help businesses in the Gulf Coast grow and create more local jobs. If you own, manage or know someone with a business in New Orleans, South Louisiana, Mississippi or Texas that you feel could benefit from this please forward it to them.
Since the focus is to help create local jobs free consulting is available to businesses that have at least 2 employees and an online presence of at least 6 months. I feel these businesses are in the best position to take advantage of my services and create new jobs. (These services are also available to any non-profit group or organization serving Katrina affected areas.)
Free Consulting Services
One hour of Phone Consulting
Possible topic include site review, link development strategies, on-page optimization and general search engine optimization (SEO).
In-House Consulting & Training
I will also offer on-site consulting and training on a case-by-case basis. This could include my link building training program. All travel expenses would need to be covered.
Keep in mind my goal is to help businesses that feel they can create new local jobs by increasing their online sales. If interested send me an email telling me about your business and how you feel your business can benefit.

As the President of My Grandma’s Coffee Cakes of New England we would be proud to show our support for our fellow American victims of Katrina. We’ll offer each Community Coffee location that
was involved in ANY form of rebuilding, relocation or new construction, a one month supply of the “WORLD’S MOST CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COFFEE CAKE” for no charge.
We hope that it will help them come that much closer to the recovery from such a devastaing challenge.
I can be reached at 1-800-847-2636 (!-800-8grandma)
God bless!!

Robert,
That is a great offer. I do not know anyone that works for Community Coffee, but I will forward it over to them. You might want to consider donating products to some of the volunteer organization. They have volunteers from around the country and world. Great way to build up your brand!
Thanks!

Thanks for stopping by Cajun Man. If you know of other Louisiana sites donating to Katrina fundraising on certain products send them to me. I would love to publish a long shopping list for people. Plus it would be a great way to expose people to more Louisiana companies.
I am still in Upstate, NY. Email me and we can meet up.
Thanks!
