First Bloomtools Franchisee Hits the Ground Running

 

Gold Coast Central is the first Bloomtools franchise to launch in Australia and the proud owner, Lee Anne Bartlett, is excited to be part of such an innovative, supportive company.

 

“Being the first Bloomtools franchisee is such an honor – I’ve been working with Bloomtools as a reseller since the beginning of 2006 so when I had the opportunity to become a franchisee, I jumped on board straight away,” said Lee Anne.

 

“It was a natural progression for me because I love the team at Bloomtools. They have given me so much guidance and support over the time I’ve been with them and I want to be part of all the amazing things they are doing for businesses,” she said.

 

As a Bloomtools franchisee, Lee Anne and her team provide international-standard websites, email marketing systems and search engine optimisation services to businesses. They get to focus all their time on helping clients build their Internet presence, because all of the solutions are developed for them by the specialist software and design teams at Bloomtools HQ.

 

“I’ve run my own website development business in past, but managing all the designers and programmers was just too hard and not very profitable. This is why I love the Bloomtools model – while I’m helping my clients get results with the Internet and growing my business, their expert teams are designing the websites and developing the tools for me,” said Lee Anne.

 

“The support of the experienced HQ team has been a huge part of my business success. Their training ensures that I’m up-to-date with the industry so I can give my clients the best advice and their sales and marketing support has helped me build a loyal client base.”

 

“Since signing on to be a franchisee, I’ve really been able to hit the ground running. I’ve already got new clients on board and all of them are so happy - they love the quality of our tools and the bottom-line results they get from them,” she said.

 

According to Bloomtools Managing Director James Greig, their franchise opportunity is already attracting some very talented people, with another franchisee waiting in the wings to launch soon.

 

“We have to be extremely selective in who we take on as franchisees because they need to have the right qualities, values and talents to represent our brand and to succeed in their business. We put a lot of time and energy into our franchisees, so the intensive selection process is vital.”

 

“Lee Anne is the perfect person to be a Bloomtools franchisee because she is passionate about the Internet and focused on getting results for her clients. Also, she’s committed to growing her business, which is really important because our franchisees don’t just get a job - they get to own and run a complete business in a booming industry,” he said.

 

“Lee Anne already achieving such great success and we are proud to have her as our first franchisee. We are looking forward to expanding our team with more passionate, experienced people like Lee Anne so we can revolutionize the way businesses use the Internet” said James

Keeping Up With Reba Mcentire

When it comes to staying power, no one can ever doubt that reigning country music queen Reba McEntire has got it down to a science. With over 60 million records sold, numerous awards, and successful film, TV, and Broadway projects under her belt, she sure knows how to keep her fans happy through all these years. With her recent album entitled, “Keep On Loving You,” which showcases McEntire’s trademark country music love songs, she isn’t showing signs of slowing down anytime soon.

In a career that spans almost 40 years, McEntire has has sold 41 million records in the United States and over 60 million worldwide. She has had seven Academy of Country Music Top Female Vocalist Awards, and twelve American Music Awards for Favorite Female Country Artist. She also holds the distinction of winning the most Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year Awards, which she won for four consecutive years. These helped seal her status as the second best-selling female country artist of all time and the seventh best-selling female artist for all genres, proving that when it comes to fresh new ways of serving country music love songs, she has the instinct to go with her talent.

In a move that shocked her fans, she decided to leave MCA Records, her label for the past 25 years, in favor of independent Nashville label, Valory Music, which produced her album "Keep On Loving You." When asked about her decision to switch labels, McEntire shared, “I think it's affected me in a very positive way. They're very enthusiastic. Part of the team over at Valory has been with MCA before, so some of us have all worked together. We're familiar. They know my work ethic, I know theirs. So it's fun to get reunited and go at it again.”

It seems McEntire’s instinct has served her well again. According to the country music blog, The Boot, the debut single "Strange," has just become the fastest-climbing single of her career and her highest chart debut in her 33-year career. In addition, "Consider Me Gone," another track from the album, was the highest-debuting single on Billboard country songs chart in the week that it was released. When asked if she had any trouble finding anything else to sing about, she said, “You know, I never thought about that. ... When a song touches me in some form or fashion ... whether it's emotional, happy, sad, whatever ... when I sing it, hopefully it will touch you.” Indeed, her brand of country music love songs has continued to inspire and touch her fans.

In support of her latest album, McEntire has launched a 19-city U.S. tour with George Strait and Lee Ann Womack. The tour, which will run through August, has stops throughout the country. Detailed tour venues and ticket information can be found at the artist’s page at the country music blog, The Boot, and at her own site at http://rebamcentire.com/. Meanwhile, on February 8, McEntire will have a show entitled “Invitation Only - Reba McEntire” over at CMT. She will also host the 45th Academy of Country Music Awards, which will be held on April 18 at Las Vegas.
