ASTA’s Young Professional Society (YPS)

Client Description - In 2002, ASTA’s leadership created the Young Professionals Society for the purpose of networking, education, and career development for those seeking a career in the retail travel industry. YPS is a free program for ASTA members and employees of premium agencies under the age of 40. One of their objectives for YPS is to promote travel careers and encourage young people to become travel agents.

Challenge - As with many organizations, the YPS chapter board is comprised of volunteers. As young professionals working full-time, YPS was finding it difficult to find the time and resources to accomplish all of the projects they had envisioned to support the program without additional execution support.

Solution - In 2013, Graham & Associates was hired by YPS to providing administrative services. Support included managing board meetings, social media outlets, membership campaigns, social and networking event coordination, and securing sponsorship funding.

Results - As a result of Graham & Associates’ support, YPS has increased its social media following and engagement, secured sponsorship funding, and increased YPS membership numbers.

Justice Heating & AC, LLC

Client Description – Established in 2008, Justice Heating & AC, LLC, is a family owned and operated business. Harold Johnson, Owner and Principal, is a master technician with over 20 years of experience and impeccable workmanship in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. Justice Heating & AC, LLC, offers the newest technology available to ensure customer comfort, and is committed to offering the highest service standards.

Challenge - Justice Heating & ACC, LLC, has successfully established its business via word of mouth over the years. However, to grow the businesses to the next level, the company knew that it had to establish an online presence. With little time, resources or technical know-how, the company realized that it needed a partner that could provide marketing recommendations and develop a website on its behalf.

Solution - Graham & Associates recommended Justice Heating & AC, LLC, develop a new website that could educate consumers on its services and connect leads directly to Mr. Johnson’s mobile phone. Graham & Associates developed the site soup to nuts – selecting the imagery, writing the copy, and using tactics to enhance Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and overall searchability of the site.

Results – Customers can now find information and book appointments via the new Justice Heating & AC, LLC website at www.justiceheatingacllc.com.
