These days, internet marketing and how you use it to push your business is pretty much critical to success.
Without employing effective internet marketing strategies, your business is not tapping into potential markets.
Consumers are using the internet to research and purchase products, find information and services, plan a holiday - just about anything.
If your business is not positioned to take advantage of internet consumers, you are behind the times and losing opportunities to develop and succeed.
While most businesses are aware of this - who could not be, right? - the path to effective internet marketing is fraught with minefields and misunderstandings which may prove fruitless and expensive.
Unless a prospective client knows exactly what they need for their online strategy, we suggest and deliver internet marketing strategies to ensure online success. For best results we usually handle all aspects of campaigns and from the start.
Fortunately we have extensive experience in sales and marketing, advertising campaigns, publishing, journalism and copywriting, as well as being graphic designers and website developers.
We offer our clients a one-stop solution to all the facets of internet marketing which we believe is a much better option than having to juggle various providers.
Conducting business online is different to more traditional approaches, where the consumer is in control of the process. An effective online business is a constantly evolving thing.
Internet professionals have to be up to speed with trends and be able to advise their clients on the best courses of action for their particular business.
This shift in internet dynamics means that the cost of producing websites has reduced, to some degree, but the cost of marketing them in order to produce effective results has risen because there is a lot of diverse work to be done to achieve those results, and a lot more competition.
The good news might seem that just about anyone can create a website - yup even you - but getting people to visit it is a big challenge, and that depends on achieving a good ranking with search engines.
Consumers will not spend any time on your website if they cannot find it, nor will they achieve their objective quickly and easily once they get there, if it is not well-designed.
Your website has to be welcoming, easy to navigate and offer something more than your competitors. You need to be organised with your website information, proactive with your marketing, and encourage your visitors to stay and buy, or stay and read, or stay and find, or all of the above and more.
You will get far better results using a professional, than attempting to achieve it all yourself.
Every good web designer has to be an internet marketing expert to some degree.
We have to be up to date with design, programming and marketing trends; to understand sales and advertising principles; to understand what effective website copy writing is or we need to collaborate with people with experience in one or all those various fields.
If not, the business owner is going to receive half a project which will have to be either re-done before too long, or will need extra work so that the job is done properly.
We don't want our clients to experience that kind of failure.
We will be happy to talk with you about your marketing plans and discuss options and costs.
Call or email your number and a suitable time and we'll contact you.
