While driving the other day to speak at the new Triangle SharePoint Users in Winston-Salem NC I recorded this 17minute Michael on the Go piece. In it I discuss two areas of focus to help build brand and increase customer loyalty for your Internet facing sites. The first part focuses on leveraging existing Windows Live services within your SharePoint Internet site. The second part then focuses on leveraging interactive out of the box SharePoint features to extend a traditional web presence to further build brand and increase customer loyalty.

After watching the video check out a few sample sites running on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server that are making use of some of the features I discuss. Then ask yourself, “how are we leveraging our SharePoint investment to build our brand?”

*Note-due to the 17 minute length I compressed my video smaller than usual in order to shrink download size from 133mb to 54mb
