Our New Year started with a
flurry--both literally and figuratively. iD8-TripleSSS Media Development is
located in the beautiful upstate New York area, and literally, our winters are full of flurries and less than
balmy yet we are made of hearty stock. Figuratively, an exciting new client invited
us to submit proposals for creating content and developing several substantial
online courses that are due to start imminently. One has already been awarded
to us.
These opportunities both
surprised and thrilled us, as our journey into digital educational content and
course development is now well established. This burst of unexpected new
business was so encouraging that it raised our confidence about meeting and
possibly exceeding our 2013 goals.
We invite you to talk to us about it!
A new business model, however,
has emerged for us to add to our company. It is service as a product and with
it increased ways for us to expand. Service may mean creating custom products
for specific clients or it may mean providing “everything content” while also starting
to offer our own courseware—blended class/online learning will be required in
all markets within in two years. This is an exciting initiative for us that
creates opportunity that does not compete with our current client base.
We invite you to share in our
goals, which include:
1. Continuing to provide development and content to all our
clients in the digital space as well as the print/blended spaces.
2. Breaking into new markets while acknowledging existing
business has evolved almost wholly into digital opportunities.
3. Meeting face to face with and listening to our clients’
needs, present and future.
4. Talking with educators and administrators in the K-12
market-space as well as our postsecondary spaces, and trying to determine how
best to meet those needs.
5. Relying on our staff, the very
heart of our business, to grow and learn with us, as we create the content that
will always serve as the fabric of educational publishing.
As the business climate of
educational publishing has shifted, so have the opportunities for us to grow.
Growth is never something we take lightly, especially in this still-struggling
economy coupled with the excitement of digital transition in educational
publishing. As an organization based on a service model, we pride ourselves on
being flexible, customer focused and devoted to quality.
Thank you for trusting us on this
educational journey. We are there and ready to take those next steps with you.
