Intern
Eclipse LLC, Tucson Arizona
June 2007- September 2009
Was involved in all aspects of marketing, clerical, and assistant
managerial duties. Startup business required part-time interns in
order to provide insight and strategic planning for growth. Marketing
campaign was introduced in September of 2007 where a web site was
established under www.eclipsecpr.com that allowed customers to pick
classes based on course descriptions and calendar availability. This
was all done using simple site builder software. Direct marketing
was also adopted since target customers were already known and
identified. Hospitals and clinics were sent advertising that included
magnets, lanyards, mouse pads, pens, etc. Bus benches around focal
points around town were also rented, this included benches near
medical centers, medical schools, and assisted living locations.
Previous customers were identified and treated with discounts to
future classes and encouraged to spread the word.
Within a year business outgrew its location and moved to a business
park where current teaching is performed. Office staff increased to 3
instructors and 1 office staff. Currently Eclipse CPR is the busiest
