MVP Helps Communities Battle the Bugs with Neighborhood BugWatch Social Network
Minneapolis, October 6, 2008—MVP Marketing + Design, Inc., a technology enabled marketing communications and branding firm, announced today the launch of Neighborhood BugWatch™, an online social network (OSN). The new site enables members to “battle the bad bugs, enlist the good ones—and create neighborhood buzz.” With Neighborhood BugWatch (www.neighborhoodbugwatch.com) participants can discover the strategies and adopt the solutions that fellow bug watchers around the corner—or around the world—are employing to control worrisome insects for mutual benefit.
The easy to navigate site engages users and fosters a sense of identity by enabling neighbors to form their own local or special interest communities. As a member of Neighborhood BugWatch, users can:
• Create customizable profile pages,
• Connect with friends and make new ones,
• Display their favorite media, blogs and podcasts
• Exchange private messages,
• Form local BugWatch groups around their favorite topics of interest
According to Dick Weinrib, President of MVP Marketing + Design, “Given increasing insect infestations linked to global warming, we created Neighborhood BugWatch as a public service effort to help homeowners and gardeners help themselves in the ‘battle of the bugs.’ We are also pleased that such national brand pest control products manufacturers as Tanglefoot, Havahart and Summit have supported our efforts by advertising on our site.” Weinrib continued, “In coming months, MVP will expand its online social networking efforts with the launch of more than twenty new client forums in industries ranging from Occupational Health & Safety to CBRN Defense. While many of our b2b clients are just beginning to consider online social networks as a valid marketing tactic, we’re confident that Neighborhood BugWatch will not only showcase our OSN development capabilities, but help them ‘catch the buzz.’”
