OpenRain Software is smack dab in the middle of a rapid-fire marketing event campaign, hosting three separate ribbon-cutting parties for Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert businesses over the course of several weeks to promote our small business web presence product. Tempe was last week, Chandler this week, and Gilbert next week. That’s a whole lot of wine and networking! Here’s a quick video of our Chandler Chamber ribbon cutting this past Wednesday. Also check out some great pictures courtesy of @casademora!

We had a last-minute need to record a 60-second OpenRain radio ad for our small business web development/design/consulting product, and managed to coerce Flo Geck into the office this morning to record the voiceover. I’m sure you’ll agree that Flo has a wonderfully soothing voice, and the final product came out awesome! (Hopefully you’ll soon be hearing her on our phone system as well.) Flo handled the production process very professionally and had production completed in under 30 minutes. Here’s the final 60-second radio ad. Enjoy!
