While our customers are getting great results from the Telephone Time & Temperature systems we supplied to them – they also mentioned another opportunity to serve the residents of their communities – with a weather-related website.  Since RTI Media is in the business of providing affordable weather services to businesses and organizations in various towns and cities in the nation, we decided to extend our product line to include two web products.

These days, many small and medium-sized communities in the U.S. have limited sources of information available.  Their newspaper may have cut staff drastically in an effort to survive, or the town may have only a weekly paper published by essentially one person, or the town has no newspaper at all.  If there are any radio stations, they probably offer the same level of community service that most stations provide their communities these days: none.  Most radio stations have computers that provide music-only or satellite-delivered formats.

In other words, there is a need and an opportunity in many towns for a new source of information – if it can be delivered at low cost.  RTI Media has begun offering our customers a local weather website for their towns – a website that also provides space for local news and events.  Red Cross blood drawings, church fundraisers, local government events and many other kinds of news can be promoted on the local site, along with the latest weather information. 

Visit one of our websites that is now offered to the community of Apex, North Carolina by the Apex Chamber of Commerce: www.apexweather.com.  Note that in addition to the weather and community events, the site also provides advertising space, so the site can be not only a vehicle for serving the community – but to make money too. 

In addition to the desktop website, our customers also have a mobile website for their towns – specially formatted for the screen of a smartphone.  So our product contains two websites – desktop and mobile.  We think the websites will be a great add-on to the Telephone Time & Temperature systems we offer.  Give us a call for more details.
