 My name is Estar Holmes. I channel my passions for non-fiction writing, design, and photography to create digital and print content. The mission of South Lake Promotions, Inc. is to help small businesses in the area implement affordable marketing solutions. Much of the work I do is tourism-related. Before starting SLP, I worked as a reporter, lay out artist, non-profit organizer, and ad executive. If you need help promting your business, email me for a consultation.

Your Website Needs Visitors
Most people who find your Website will get there by typing keywords into a search box. If your Website isn't using the right keywords in its content and behind the scenes, you will have to pay to rank high on search engines.
Try this keyword test
Is your site rich in words people will most likely type into a search box when they need your product or service? Try this little test. Type your Website address into this handy keyword checker. This will reveal the keyword cloud for your Web page. The biggest words are the ones that appear most on your page. If the biggest words aren't the ones people will be typing into search engines it's time to optimize your content to be keyword rich. South Lake Promotions can help.
Optimized Article Marketing
Online articles are effective at creating valuable backlinks and directing people to your website. Optimized articles require keyword research and the ability to write engaging content. No time to learn? Hire Estar Holmes of South Lake Promotions to do it for you under her own byline or as a ghost writer. Here are some recently published samples.

Cater to Rail to Trail Cyclists
Print advertising in the 2012 edition of the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes Unofficial Guidebook 2012 is now closed. Web ads can be added any time. This popular guidebook and related web pages are the place to reach out to the 100,000 cyclists that ride the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes each year. Contact: estarslp(at)gmail(dot)com for details.
Cooperative advertising results in more bang for your buck
A small ad in a regional publication will start at about $600. By partnering with other businesses reaching out to the same target market you get better exposure for much less money. Ask us how.
Use the power of media releases
Media releases that result in articles like this one about Bobbi's famous rez bar in Plummer, Idaho, or like this one about WEH Enterprises of Worley, Idaho, are a smart way to keep your name before the public. Online articles like these can be used as links in your social networks.
