Make Hay produces creative content for online marketing promotions, plus attractive and targeted customer magazines and newsletters.
Erno, the Littlest Elf ™
Make Hay Communications has designed and produced a seasonal web site for client Bruce Telecom for the past ten years.
The site, which links to the client's main site, offers an original illustrated holiday story featuring Erno, the Littlest Elf ™ and all his friends and uses animated gifs and sound files to delight visitors. Each year, the site is available for five weeks prior to Christmas and the story is revealed one chapter at a time; one per week. This accessibility coordinates with a radio promotion that daily asks questions about the story, with contestants entering a draw for a new computer.
The site is engaging and interactive and also features auto-response answers to letters emailed to Santa and colouring book illustrations that can be coloured online or downloaded and coloured the "old-fashioned" way with crayons.

West Grey Economic Development Handbook & Website
Using skills in writing and information design, Make Hay developed the content and design for an Economic Development Handbook for the Municipality of West Grey. The Handbook includes demographic and statistical information about the region in addition to profiles of local business people.
The Handbook was a part of the Municipality's pledge to proactively promote Economic Development in the area, supporting the Committee's mandate to foster new business start-ups, encourage existing businesses to move to West Grey and promote business growth for existing business in the area.
The Handbook is distributed at trade and related shows and mailed to people inquiring about business in West Grey. It included demographic and statistical information about the region in addition to profiles of local business people. Additionally, we revised the existing municipal website, using the Handbook content, to make economic development a more prominent feature of the site.
