Merge

The holiday season inevitably involves lists of many kinds. Lists of gifts, guests, grocery items, resolutions, and the list goes on and on. This year, we have created a new list: "Top Ten Things Merge is Thankful for in 2008". Because there are so many things to be thankful, it was tough, but we narrowed it down to the top ten. Some of them are personal, some of them are edible, but they all attribute to the success of Merge in one way or another. We've made our list, and checked it twice, and here's our top ten:

10. Wii
We are thankful for our Wii partly because it’s just good clean fun. However, it is also a useful tool for encouraging camaraderie between employees, team building and always help jumpstart creative juices for brainstorm sessions

9. Networking Events
Networking events are an integral part of Merge’s business development philosophy. Not only has Merge met clients through these events, we have also found vendors and built valued relationships with members of the community.

8. Office in Downtown Greenville
Merge is fortunate enough to be located on W. North Street in Downtown Greenville. Aside from our actual location, Merge is thankful for our office. Our new office has allowed us the much needed room to hire more team members and meet with prospects and clients.

7. Free Social Media Outlets
Merge is extremely thankful for the growing popularity of social media outlets such as FaceBook and Twitter. Using these two web sites, Merge has been able to become extremely accessible to clients, prospects, and business people in Greenville, as well as all over the country.

6. Peanut Brittle and Cinnamon Disks
Merge is thankful this holiday for these two food items because they help keep employees happy and they just taste better during this time of year.

5. Downtown Greenville
The scenery and “vibe” are among the many reasons we delighted to call Downtown Greenville our home. As for business, it is a great central location to meet both prospects and clients. We also love the coffee shops and restaurants in the downtown area.

4. Business and Personal Development Events
Being a member of the Chamber of Commerce allows us to take advantage of many events throughout the year that facilitate both business and personal development. These events allow Merge to learn from the best of the best, who also happen to be our peers.

[Here’s the part where we start to get sentimental on you.]

3. Merge Employees
Our employees are the core of Merge and are responsible for sustaining our coveted Merge culture. Each of our employees are talented in their own right and amazing team players that work together to produce the web sites that Merge is known for.

2. Merge Clients
We like happy clients, enough said (see our client list in on our Portfolio page). We are thankful that our clients have chosen us to grow their company online and entrusted us to guide them to achieve their business goals.

1. Merge Families
We are sincerely thankful for our families who are both supportive and understanding of the demands of providing excellent web services. When we have to stay at work until 10pm to ensure we meet a deadline for a client, our families welcome us home with open arms. Many of them are also involved in Merge and even attend some of those networking events that we are so thankful for.
