The Sammy D Foundation was created by husband and wife team Nat Cook and Neil Davis after their 17-year old son Sam was fatally king hit while trying to intervene in a fight at a party in 2008.

Out of tragedy, the small but committed Sammy D Foundation team has worked with the South Australian community and businesses to deliver its core programs; Impact, Connect and Party Wise to nearly 15,000 young people in metropolitan and regional locations.

How is the Sammy D Foundation reducing violence?

The Sammy D Foundation is a harm prevention charity focussing on promoting healthy lifestyles, providing opportunities for success, nurturing mateship, bringing families closer together and raising awareness of harm-causing behaviour.  The Foundation has a strong focus on encouraging youth to realise their potential and empower them to make safe and positive life choices. Every young person deserves to be loved, supported and protected, with many needing guidance and positive role modelling to equip them with the skills and confidence needed to avoid dangerous situations, and knowing how to respond if confronted.

How can you help?

Donations and sponsorship are important to sustain the very successful programs delivered by the Foundation, with donations over $2 tax deductible.
Volunteering is another way to help, and more information about what you can do to make a difference to this serious community issue can be found at www.sammydfoundation.com.au

Thanks Andrew and Bloomtools for helping us with a great website design that is so easy for us to update and will help spread our message.   We appreciate your gift, the functionality in the website from the Donation tool through to the Email Marketing system is going to make such a difference to what we can do.  Thank You.

Ranking on the front page of Google searches for renowned Sydney child psychologist Andrew Greenfield is one of the benefits of having a new Bloomtools-built website for his Psych Support Assessment Services Child Psychologist website.

Previously appearing on pages further back in Google, the new website is a welcome change from Greenfield’s former template-based site.

Greenfield says the Bloomtools team was “very patient with me” during the set-up operation, and helped the process along by explaining things in a professional yet user-friendly way from start to finish, which was “very easy to understand”.

Working in a busy practice, with regional bases in Bondi Junction, Chatswood and Westmead in Sydney, Greenfield needs as much time to focus on his business as he can.

“The website saves me so much time because I can refer potential patients to the site to find information about the services I offer, our office administration and the strategies I use,” he says. “And I’d say 70% of clients who phone me have already been to the website before making contact.”

Greenfield is using the Promo Boxes because they stand out visually, provide an easy way for visitors to find information on the website and encourages them to take the next step (calls to action). Best of all he loves being able to make the changes himself.

“With a bit of basic training, I have found I can do almost anything myself when using the backend of my website. Making changes has been a breeze,” he says.

“I can thank my brother for recommending Bloomtools to me. He’s in e-commerce marketing and knows all about the best deal for the right price when it comes to building websites. It was also an advantage that Bloomtools was an Australian company.”

One more benefit that Greenfield notes about sending clients to the new website is that it “looks great, too! Very professional overall.”

When it comes to sticky-labelling, look no further than Gold Coast-based Digital Lollipop to provide you with high-quality labels and stickers. Until recently, if you had looked on the web for these fantastic state-of-the-art express digitally printed products, Digital Lollipop was nowhere to be seen.

To bring consistency to the look and feel of its one-year-old brand, Digital Lollipop enlisted Bloomtools’ to develop a great-looking website to promote its labelling products. With the capacity for 16 million colours, Digital Lollipop’s digital technology provides clients with creative stickers for their corporate conferences and events, social functions or product sales.

“I had a business referral to use Bloomtools and considering my future plans for Digital Lollipop, I was looking at the Bloomtools’ type of website as ‘investment protection’,” says Director Tony Bogatie, of being able to manage the website himself.

“Our products are highly customised so it wasn’t so much of an online shopfront we were looking for but, more simply, just a web presence itself. A Bloomtools website appealed to us because of its ease of use and also because we could customise and edit the website content when we wanted, how we wanted it and see the results as soon as we wanted.

Bogatie refers to “investment protection” when he talks about future plans for the business and website.

“If Digital Lollipop was to implement an online web store down the line, we can add a Shopping Cart simply to the system we already have,” he says. “We want the business to be dynamic and be able to react to customer demands and we needed a website that reflected this.”

Digital Lollipop uses the website for quotes and sales referrals, and Bogatie favours the Promo Boxes to use as highly visible links to other pages.

“I love the look of our website! And I love being able to make alterations myself,” says Bogatie.

You can’t help thinking about moving into your dream home when you visit Sutherland Property Management’s new-look Bloomtools website. Stylish images of the Gold Coast’s best locations and properties are displayed across the top of the website, getting you in the property-searching mood.

Sutherlands Property Management Group services the Gold Coast in prime specialist residential rental properties. A local all her life, Principal & Business Coordinator Colleen Sutherland combined her many years’ experience in the real estate industry with her passion to set new precedents when she formed Sutherlands eight years ago.

Sutherland says that having a website presence is extremely important for her business in order to gain new clients, as the business provides for both landlords and tenants.

“We usually just send new business prospects to our website to have a look at what we offer, so I’m really happy that the reskinned website is clean, fresh and easy-to-use,” says Sutherland.

“The good thing is that since we reskinned, our enquiries for new business have more than doubled. We used to have an old brochure-style website, but a client recommended Bloomtools four years ago and we built our website with them then.  Because Bloomtools constantly keep the backend of my website all up to date (SaaS) all we have needed to do is just reskin our website, to make the front end of the website look modern and fresh too.

“I can’t pinpoint one thing that I love the most about the new website,” says Sutherland, “but my favourites are 20 Reasons, Switch and Sutherlands TV (our online YouTube show).”

Sutherland says that the website is helping to keep up the business’s Google rankings; “we are building this with online support”.

“And the Database Marketing provides a positive vehicle for us to tell our landlord clients important news on a regular basis.”
