Earlier this week, Blenderbox CEO and Co-Founder Jason Jeffries presented at the Brooklyn Business Summit on the importance of good customer relations.
Created by the Brooklyn Business Center, the Brooklyn Business Summit is dedicated to providing a “progressive venue and agenda for small business owners and entrepreneurs looking to become small business owners”. After building three successful businesses, Jason has gained extensive insight into creating and maintaining quality relationships with his clients and customers, insight that he shared with 50 small business owners at Wednesday’s Customer Satisfaction & Retention workshop.
Cutting through the traditional Customer Relation jargon, Jason mapped out a simple and effective guide to securing customer satisfaction using a modified version of the “Blenderbox method” — Listen, Think, Create, Deliver. By listening to your customer’s needs and desires, making your service memorable, and maintaining a personal involvement in your company’s client relationships, you can positively shape the perception of your company and generate quality business leads.
The message is simple, should business owners wish to embrace it: listening to what your clients have to say about your methods and addressing these critiques in your process is always the most effective way to keep your clients happy and your business booming.
While the next Brooklyn Business Summit has yet to be scheduled, video of Jason’s presentation will be available on their site soon, so keep checking back for more details.

When Blenderbox first engaged with the Hewlett Foundation to redesign their existing site, Hewlett wanted to be sure that their site’s users would stand to benefit first and foremost. So Blenderbox developed beta.hewlett.org, allowing the Foundation to gather feedback from the site’s users that could be used to gauge their level of satisfaction with the new design and influence the ultimate re-launch of hewlett.org.
After receiving initial user feedback, the site’s new design is a rousing success! New sections like “What We’re Learning” have been met with remarkably positive feedback, and many users are applauding the Foundation’s user-friendliness and transparency as well.
Since 1967, the Hewlett Foundation has been making grants to solve social and environmental problems at home and around the world. For more information about the Hewlett Foundation’s mission and work, and to check out the Beta redesign, head over to beta.hewlett.org.

Earlier this week, on behalf of longtime client Backbone NYC, Blenderbox launched the newly-redesigned backbonenyc.com.
Back in 2005, Blenderbox created a compelling Flash-based website to showcase Backbone’s high-quality retouching and pre-press capabilities. In the intervening years, Backbone’s already robust portfolio grew by leaps and bounds, eventually outgrowing their portfolio section.
With the 2008 redesign, Blenderbox used updated Flash technology to bring Backbone’s portfolio front-and-center, revamping the organization and navigation scheme to allow easier access to their work.
