In a local story of interest, the University of New Hampshire (UNH) now offers an undergraduate marketing course focusing on social media strategies and best practices.

As local business owners continue to embrace the "micro-communications" that social media provides, I'm sure we'll see more of these types of educational courses pop-up throughout our communities. As with any College course such as this, I am sure UNH will/has reached out to local business owners for real-life case studies. It may be worth a call.

Newmarket Properties chooses Fisher Marketing to help promote low energy, eco-savvy Boston-area home renovations

Yesterday, Newmarket Properties chose to work with Fisher Marketing to help promote their low energy, eco-savvy Boston-area properties. The company specializes in multi-family renovations to create energy efficient homes in the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville area. For those not familiar with these neighborhoods, most of these properties were built in the early 1900's and updated periodically using less-than-desirable materials from today's green standards: urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI), lead paint, asbestos insulation/shingles, etc.

Newmarket Properties safely removes toxic materials and replaces them with eco-friendly ultra-efficient materials. Each renovation project is designed to qualify for LEED Silver certification under the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), by using recycled materials (Forest Stewardship Certified wood), focusing on indoor air quality, and implementing innovative design principles.

Fisher Marketing is proud to support Newmarket Properties in the company's quest to promote environmental responsibility and sustainability.
