Blogs, Notes, Facebook, e-mail, You Tube. How quickly things have changed. When we went into the fish business a few years ago one of our biggest expenses was the Yellow Pages. Our number is still there, but our efforts have moved to social media.
Videos on our You Tube channel will pass 10,000 views soon. (Who knew a simple instructional tape on how to paint the back of your tank would be so popular!) Our Facebook page has passed 1,500 fans, and keeps growing. We know you read our posts and depend upon us to tell you when we have new goodies in the store. We'd still like to hear more from you and see you conversing with one another about your aquariums. Please feel free to post your pictures, videos and thoughts.
Starting in January, 2011, we'll be adding a new way to communicate -- a monthly e-mail newsletter. This will always include a coupon as our way of saying thanks for your business.
If you are not on the e-mail list, please contact the store at ua@ntelos.net and tell us you want to sign up. We'll be happy to put you on the list.
A couple of notes: You may have noticed that we have been offering plants, driftwood and substrate for planted aquariums. Many of the freshwater fish we stock will be those that thrive in a planted environment. We are hoping to start a club for those interested in pursuing this aspect of the hobby. Please e-mail ua@ntelos.net if you are interested. I'm hoping to meet at Lil' Cucci's next door. I'll buy the pizza and bring a free plant to those who attend.
A final word on freshwater fish at Ultimate Aquariums. We would like to be your source for rare and exotic freshwater fish -- the ones you can't buy at the big box stores. Please tell us what you are interested in and we'll try to stock it.
Again, thanks for your interest in UA.
