Chicago-based Consulting Firm Shows How Distribution Strategy Leads to Market Share and Revenue Growth

John Henderson, President/CEO of Frank Lynn & Associates Inc., a Chicago-based consulting firm, agrees that new products and technologies are a definite plus. However, he points out that many seemingly viable new products fail because manufacturers don’t understand the complexities of distribution channels. Henderson also points out that even without a compelling new product, companies can use channel strategies alone to find profitable sources of revenue growth.

Unfortunately, many executives from engineering or sales backgrounds don’t have experience in “channel strategy,” and it’s costing their companies a fortune.

Recently, a large industrial components manufacturer recognized this dilemma. It engaged Frank Lynn & Associates with one major objective presented in the form of a question:

How can we develop an aggressive growth strategy in a mature market to jump start revenue and market share growth?

This client was in the revenue doldrums. They faced new, low-cost competitors, no new whiz-bang products, and relied on stale management solutions that were safe but failed to deliver the needed results. In this environment, management’s revenue growth goals of 11 percent per year seemed unlikely, and maybe even unachievable.

To determine if the growth target was possible, the Frank Lynn & Associates team conducted an evaluation of the company’s product portfolio, competitive situation and its go-to-market strategy. The questions the team asked were:

> Where could the 11 percent per year growth come from? Product tweaks? Geographic expansion? New customer segments? New brands or targeting of new competitors? New channels?

> Where does the company have coverage gaps?

> What are unmet customer needs?

> Where are competitors weakest?

Based on the analysis, the Frank Lynn & Associates team determined that the company had overlooked a few incremental, specialized channels selling to niche markets. Furthermore, many resellers in the core channel cherry-picked the product line, selling competing accessories lines and avoiding slow moving SKUs. Using the framework shown on the next page, the team worked with management to find a consensus approach. The resulting “Change” strategy, if successful, would easily hit the 11 percent target.

While closing the key “Change” gaps became the strategy, the Frank Lynn & Associates team pointed out that the real trick was in the implementation, the so-called “boots on the ground” phase.

Specialized channel partners were not equally dispersed around the country. The same was true of cherry-pickers. According to Henderson, “What our client didn’t fully understand was that yes, they needed a national go-to-market strategy, but achieving their growth target could only be accomplished at the local level.”

The national strategy included a recruitment pitch and incentives for specialized resellers. It also included a redesigned channel compensation program that put more emphasis on full-line sales than sheer volume. However, the strategy lacked specific direction needed for each territory manager and failed to account for local market differences. The client’s salespeople needed to know where to find the specialized channels and cherrypickers.

This need led Henderson and the Frank Lynn & Associates team to the next step in the engagement. “We used our proprietary Territory Share Assessment (TSA) tool to build a bridge between the national strategy and the client’s local market characteristics,” Henderson says.

The TSA tool is designed to help companies get detailed data for revenue, market share, and market coverage by channel type and by customer segment. The TSA involves:

> Interviews with key resellers (your own and competitors’) in selected local markets

> Interviews with a sample of target end-user customers in the same local markets

> Identification of new (specialized) resellers to fill gaps, or existing resellers to target with new programs (e.g., anti-cherrypicking programs)

> The development of local market models to predict conditions in other geographic regions (for example, the ratio of a certain type of customer to a certain type of reseller)

One of the key “aha” experiences for management occurred when they discovered that many of predicted gaps existed in some of the largest markets and among the largest distributors. On its face, this was bad news. However, when you’re trying to grow 11 percent in a mature market, the bigger the gap, the bigger the opportunity for growth.

Faced with the actual data, management found the conviction to green-light a complete reallocation of marketing and distribution resources.

Staffing and budget were applied in some sales channels and geographic markets that previously had received little attention. At the same time, some regions that were previously considered over-funded got even more funding if the data supported the case. Sales territories, compensation and goals were adjusted to focus on the specialization and cherrypicking behavior. Similar programs were instituted at the channel level.

The local market data created a strong internal focus. Programs were carefully coordinated throughout the product, market and sales organizations–teams that had previously worked on their own agendas.

What were the results?

In the client’s first major geographic target market, the market research and analysis identified two new sales channel partners that should be pursued. “We worked with management to successfully establish a new relationship with these distributors, and the client realized immediate sales and market share growth that would not have occurred otherwise,” says Henderson.

Management forecast incremental revenues in the first local market of 0,000 in the first year. However, they hit that target in nine months from the date Frank Lynn & Associates first delivered its “Change” recommendations.

The team led the client through the local market process in two separate territories. During that time, they formalized the process steps, defined the internal and external information requirements and trained key client personnel to lead the implementation program in all remaining important territories.

Henderson concludes that the key to success is first designing the big-picture, national go-to-market strategy and then designing a program that can translate the strategy into local market tactics–where the actual growth occurs.

Who is Frank Lynn & Associates?

Frank Lynn & Associates is the leading consulting firm in field of channel or go-to-market strategy according to clients who simply refer to the company as “The Channels People.” The company is based in Chicago, but operates internationally with offices and affiliates in London, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Beijing. The firm focuses on helping manufacturers achieve sustainable, profitable growth through a wide variety of channel and end-user programs.

With proprietary tools like its TSA approach, and over 30 years of focused sales channel experience, the firm brings a data and market-driven emphasis to decisions that many companies typically make on the fly.

What are the next steps?

One of the things that many clients appreciate about Frank Lynn & Associates, beyond its marketing “technology,” is its willingness to try before you buy. The company offers a limited number of free, half-day consulting sessions to potential clients who are willing to come to Chicago. According to Henderson, “You buy from people you trust, from people that seem like they speak your language. The half-day session not only helps us understand the client’s problem and explain our approach, but allows both of us the see if the right chemistry exists.”

Custom App Developer, Amadeus Consulting Discusses Alternatives To The Apple® Ipad™

Custom App Developer, Amadeus Consulting Discusses Alternatives To The Apple® Ipad™

Last Saturday, one of our lucky staff members won the prize of coming in to the office to pick up our new toy: Apple’s® new iPadâ„¢.  We opted for all the bells and whistles, so that we can use it for testing and developing applications.

We are pretty excited, and have been working on app development for the iPad since the developer kit was released.  The media is abuzz about the new device and next few weeks will be an iPad frenzy as they begin to arrive.

The iPad is a great new device that takes mobile computing and application development to a whole new level by being ultra portable, mobile and convenient.  However, there are many other tablet devices set to come out this year that are really amazing as well, and definitely deserve some attention.

For this week’s column, we’ve decided to tell you about some of the other tablet options and why we are pretty excited about them too.

WePad

German Company Neofonieâ„¢ announced a new entry to the the tablet market: the WePadâ„¢.  Not to be confused with the iPad, the WePad has a very impressive arsenal of features and hardware.  Based around Google’s open Android operating system, the WePad boasts a 11.6″ display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, a webcam, USB sockets, a flash card reader, and many other impressive features.

With the Android operating system, it will be able to download and run apps from the Android Marketplace, as well as its own WePad AppStore, which means that current android apps should be able to run fine on the WePad, or have WePad specific applications.  Also, unlike the iPad, the Android OS allows multitasking which creates a much better user experience.

Even though Neofonie has a working prototype that they showcased last week, they have yet to announce a release date or purchase price.  But even so, if it can do everything they say it can, it is going to be one of the most impressive tablets on the market, and it provides encouragement to those looking to build apps for android phones since they will also get to play with tablet devices.

However, the WePad isn’t the only upcoming Android-based tablet.

ARCHOS Home Tablets

Announced earlier this month by the French company Archos™, the ARCHOS 7 Home Tablet and ARCHOS 8 Home Tablet are the latest in their mobile computing options.  The Archos Home Tablets are each designed for specific applications, and each targets a different market.

The Archos 7 is the smaller of the two, sporting a 7″ touch screen, but it comes packed with power, and is probably the least expensive of all the tablets listed here, at just 0.  The Archos 8 Home Tablet is larger and is intended to display like a picture frame, which is meant for the home or kitchen.

For example, you could prop it up in the kitchen and use it when preparing a meal to access the Internet, pull up recipes and cooking instructions or chat with people online. Then when it’s not in use, you could it could just display pictures or video.

That’s not to diminish the power or portability of the device, however it is meant as a compact stand-alone computer that can be displayed in any room in the house.  But for a more mobile and portable device, the Home 7 tablet may be a better fit.

Both of these devices run on Google’s Androidâ„¢, and they each reach a very specific audience.  As a software developer, we definitely see the potential for developing custom apps for these devices, especially since the apps would be available to all Android devices as well.

Archos is also expected to release yet another mobile internet tablet later this summer, called Archos 9, which will also be powered by the Android OS, be slightly larger than the Archos Home 7 and include improved web connectivity.

Notion Ink: Adam

Based out of India, Notion Ink™ was founded with the express purpose of creating tablet computers.  Notion Ink has cutely called their first creation Adam™, a very impressive tablet that runs on the Android OS.

Among its features is that it runs Adobe Flash to leverage the best of rich internet applications, has a 180 degree swivel camera for video chart or taking front-facing pictures, multi-touch support and 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.  In addition, Adam also features a Pixel QI transflective screen. What is that?  It is a 10.1 inch screen that can switch between backlit LCD mode like on other tablets, and a low-power electrophoretic reflective mode, which looks more or less like e-ink, making it a great solution for switching between video and ebooks and greatly extending battery life while reading.

Expected to be released this June, Adam claims to have up to 16 hours of HD video playback, supporting 1080p video, all powered by a dual-core ARM processor and an NVidia GPU.

Adam really opens up the door to future application development possibilities for mobile and portable devices.  Needless to say, we can’t wait to get our hands on one.

Microsoft Courier (Rumored)

Jumping back to the US, Microsoftâ„¢ has a “secret” upcoming product called the Courier.  It still has not been officially announced by Microsoft, but the web is full of demo videos and pictures all showing prototypes of the device.  Does that make it true? No, not necessarily.  But the rumors are so juicy and the Courier looks so good that we can hardly resist.

What makes the Courier especially unique is that it is actually not a tablet—it’s a booklet.  It has dual 7-inch multi-touch screens, which means that you get a lot of screen space, but it folds down into a very compact size.

Not much is known about the exact specs on this device, but we can be pretty sure that it will involve Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 operating system, which should provide plenty of power and diversity to the device.  Also, the Windows Phone OS app development uses XNA, .NET and Silverlight, which are used in the development of Windows and gaming software, which should make courier apps very powerful and versatile.

HP Slate Windows 7 Tablet

Another US contender, Hewlett Packard™ announced their Slate™ tablet set to be released as early as June.  This one also comes with an estimated price of 0, which is right in line with the iPad.  However, the HP slate also boasts Flash capability, a faster processor, and runs on a Windows 7 Platform, meaning that it should be able to run anything that you can run on Windows 7, including any internet browser, Photoshop and games.

However, managing traditional Windows applications with only a multi-touch screen may not be the best solution in all cases, and so it also has Bluetooth capability and USB ports for easy attachment of a keyboard or mouse.

We are slightly surprised that HP went for Windows 7 instead of the Windows 7 Phone OS, but in either case it presents some exciting capabilities and considering it comes from an already well known brand and beats the iPad on specs, it could become a very popular platform.

Dell Mini 5 Android Tablet

Unveiled at CES earlier this year, Dell® announced a concept 5″ tablet that runs on the Anroid OS.  It also comes with 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and is a mix between a large phone and a tablet.  Or in other words, it is a really very smart phone.

Dell is also running with Android, which makes it another platform for Android apps and those that develop for them.    The Dell Mini 5 also boasts a 1GHz Snapdragon processor that should give it plenty of power without sacrificing batter life.

Spring Design Alex Ebook Reader

Spring Design™ combines a traditional E-reader with a second LCD screen, based off of Android OS.  This beats out other dedicated E-readers because it has a web browser and provides the best of both worlds.  It also comes with Wi-Fi connectivity and Ebooks from Borders bookstore.

The combination between and E-reader and  LCD provides for some cool combination applications as well as improved battery life and better readability of web page content.

Once again, the Android OS means some compatibility between other Android powered devices, which provides even better distribution for Android applications.

JooJoo

Singapore based company, Fusion Garageâ„¢, announced the JooJooâ„¢ late last year.  According to their website, JooJoo is based off of the African word “joujou,” meaning magical device.  And this device is magical.

With a 12-inch LCD screen, the JooJoo boasts the ability to play HD videos and has Wi-Fi capability.  This product is currently available for pre-order, for around 0.  One thing that makes the JooJoo different is that it runs apps completely through the Web and runs on its own proprietary  operating system.

Fusion Garage announced their tablet just before the iPad and so has become an underdog in the news.  However, according to Fusion Garage, orders have actually increased since the iPad announcement.  In either case, this probably will not become a mainstream device, but it is an alternative option that may be worth consideration.

Lenovo U1 Hybrid Notebook

Lenovo® has been working with small netbooks and tablet PCs for some time, but the U1 hybrid™ notebook represents a shift in their tablet technology.

The unique feature is that it is essentially a netbook – small portable and similar to a laptop, but then the screen can detach and function like an independent slate tablet.  This literally puts two PCs into one device, and each has its own processor and operating system, but work together as a clamshell laptop or a multitouch slate tablet.

In this way, the base serves as a hop and docking station, whereas the tablet can be used in very mobile instances.  The two processors also use Lenovo’s Hybrid Switch technology which allows seamless toggling between the two processors.

The U1 runs on the Skylight Linux operating system, designed specifically for small devices, and has a user-facing camera and a wealth of features, including 3G connectivity, multi-touch, and long batter life.  Unfortunately all these features cost a bit more than other slate tablets, pricing it at 00, but still within the range for new laptops.  It should be available by June of this year.

Lenovo also has a few other small notebooks coming out this year, including the Skylight Smartbook.  Lenovo still pairs their slate tablets with a keyboard, but that may prove to be a positive bonus to those who are dissatisfied with touch-screen typing.

As a developer, we look forward to continuing Linux-based development, and it will be exciting to see if mobile application development takes off on this type of platform.

Conclusion

If you noticed, there are a whole bunch of Android powered devices.  Market studies show Android taking over Apple’s iPhone OS as soon as 2013, and you can see with so many devices running on Android that the market for Android application is only going to get larger.

We are currently working clients to develop applications the iPhone/iPad operating system, as well as the Android OS, and have achieved remarkable results for our clients.  This market is only going to grow, and even though we are excited about our new iPad, and even our Microsoft Surface (a giant tablet?), custom software development for these new devices is something that can help businesses reach and engage users in ways that have never before been possible.

Amadeus Consulting Discusses Why Adobe® and Apple® Are Fighting Over the Internet

The battle between HTML5, Flash®, and other related technologies has been raging pretty heavily over the last few months. This is in part because of statements made by Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs, responses from Adobe and responses from various aspects of the industry.

Here is what the debate comes down to:  Adobe Flash® is privately owned, and has some weaknesses, but it is used on over 90% of computers and at least 60% of internet video. But in protest of Flash’s weaknesses, Apple refuses to support Flash on any of its mobile devices and instead is pushing towards support of HTML5, which promises to provide some of the same functionality of Flash. Unfortunately, HTML5 is far from a completed technology and is not ready for a full launch anytime soon.

Adobe has fought back by launching an ad campaign which criticizes Apple for strictly controlling its own platform; including content censoring and developer controls.

The debate will not be resolved anytime soon, however it does provide insights on fundamental aspects of Internet technologies; as well as highlights common issues that should be considered when creating new websites or rich Internet applications.

We’ve created a quick rundown of the different issues, which should help you better understand the technologies and what this all means.

HTML5

In very simple terms, HTML describes the language used to make websites display content in the way we want. A web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Safari, reads the HTML code and converts that into a readable and usable format.

Currently, web browsers need additional add-ons and plug-ins in order to play most media content. One of the biggest features of HTML5 is the ability to create video or interactive content without the need for external applications such as Flash or Silverlightâ„¢. This feature is possible for HTML5 video because the video content revolves around a video codec called H.264. A codec describes how videos are encoded and decoded, and H.264 provides very efficient decoding making it optimal for use in high definition video.

Although HTML5 is being developed by a consortium of professionals, represented by Apple, Googleâ„¢, and many others, full HTML5 integration is still a few years away. This depends largely on creating HTML5-compatible browsers. Even though standardization has yet to be finalized, Apple’s Safari®, and Google’s Chromeâ„¢ are already well on their way to compatibility and support of most HTML5 features.

However, Microsoft’s® Internet Explorer® still dominates the browsing market and even nine-year-old IE 6 still maintains 10% of the browsing market. So while Microsoft promises to make IE 9 somewhat compatible, it is unclear what will be done for IE 6, 7, and 8.

This presents a predicament for those wishing to launch a new site that embraces the technology: What is the point of a HTML5 site if 50% of your visitors will not be able view it properly? Of course, technical innovation should not be hindered by outdated technology, but it is something to consider when designing a new site.

H.264

As far as codec’s go, H.264 is really good. It encodes a vast amount of visual data into a tiny space without sacrificing much quality. This means that you can stream HD video over slower connections, which is excellent for internet video, mobile content, and full HD video.

H.264 is also used to provide the high quality video in Blu-rayâ„¢ Discs, digital cameras and digital broadcasting. In fact, most modern computer processors are specially designed to be able to decode H.264 without the need for additional software to do the decoding. This makes the H.264 codec extremely efficient, especially on mobile devices, since it generally takes considerably less battery power to decode and view.

But keep in mind that H.264 is only a codec. It doesn’t do anything by itself except encode and decode video, and it still needs to be played back by a browser or media platform. Even though some browsers promise to support H.264 without the need for a media player, media players can also play H.264 video. In fact, Flash has supported the H.264 codec since 2007 (although Apple’s QuickTime® player has supported most H.264 formats since 2005).

Even so, a codec is not a replacement for a media platform. For content sites like Huluâ„¢, or any television network site, H.264 simply does not provide enough utility on its own to be embedded into a webpage without the support of a proprietary media player. One issue is that H.264 and HTML5 do not provide any sort of content protection. In the case of Hulu, or any television network that wishes to protect its content and prevent (or at least make it difficult) for people to download content, a third-party media player is required. For video sharing sites, such as YouTubeâ„¢, copyright controls may not be as necessary.

Also, on its own, H.264 does not allow adaptive streaming – the ability to continue to play video despite the user’s changing bandwidth availability. This is important for many users who want to watch live content, or do not want to continually buffer the video.

There are also legal considerations with H.264, which is a proprietary software technology which dictates the payment of royalty fees for commercial users with user agreements. According to some sources, Adobe pays over million each year just to allow Flash to play H.264 video.

Another codec, VP8, which is now owned by Google, promises to be a suitable alternative to H.264, and will be entirely open source. Although VP8 is not as widespread and does not have the hardware support that H.264 does, it promises to be a strong competitor by bringing further efficiency and quality to video.

While both platforms are important in the future of the Internet, and both help bolster the ability of HTML5, neither can replace full media platforms such as Flash or Silverlight.

Adobe Flash®

One of the benefits to Flash and similar applications is they provide consistency across different browsers and operating systems. Instead of making modifications to a site for each possible browser, Flash manages those differences and provides a consistent user experience.

Flash also allows better content management and content controls than HTML5. As discussed above, Flash provides content protections, which prevents (or at least makes it more difficult) people from grabbing video or other media from your site.

Criticisms of Flash include major security flaws, which are among the top security exploits in computers. While it is true that Flash has only a few number of security holes, less even than Apple’s QuickTime, the security holes in Flash are much more substantial.

Flash also has some compatibility issues, and has been blamed for causing Macs to crash, as well as eating up battery life in laptops and mobile devices.

Although Apple has decided not to allow Flash on its mobile products, 19 of the other 20 top manufactures have committed to making their products compatible or eventually compatible with Flash. This means that while Flash based applications may not be currently viewable on most mobile devices, they will be fairly soon.

Even so, according to Adobe, Flash is on 98% of PCs, which makes it useful as a standard content delivery platform. Moreover, 85 of the top 100 websites use Flash content, 70% of web games use Flash, and 75% of video is viewed in flash player.

In other words, Flash has become a major component in web technologies. Is its position justified?  Perhaps. It allowed for sites like YouTube to become mainstream and ushered in an era of Internet video and interactive digital content. It is evolving and still imperfect, but it successfully fills a need.

In fact, there are currently 3.5 million developers that use the Flash Platform (according to Adobe), which may be an indication of its usefulness as a content and media system for years to come. But, as with most technologies, competitors will come. Already Microsoft’s Silverlight provides some powerful capabilities and improvements, and HTML5 will remove the necessity for Flash in many situations.

So is Flash dying?  No. But it is quickly adapting in order to stay alive.

Our Position

Amadeus Consulting is an open shop of custom software developers. We create a vast array of custom software applications that include everything from database systems to smart phone applications. We work on Macs, PCs, web-based applications, and pretty much everything in-between; including designing for every major browser, operating system, and hardware platform.

In other words, we are pretty unbiased in our approach to technology, and will use whatever technology will create the best solution for our clients. We’ve deployed many Flash-based applications, Silverlight projects, numerous iPhone apps, and created more websites and web applications than we can count.

Don’t misunderstand; we are very excited about the potential that HTML5 provides and the different opportunities coming available. However, it will not unseat the occasional need for rich Internet applications, Flash-like technologies, and other proprietary platforms. HTML5 and related technologies do create some exciting possibilities, and we look forward to increasing its use as it becomes standardized and better supported by web browsers.

Social media marketers understand the importance of using keywords to aim advertisements at the consumers that are most likely to be interested in their focus. Advances in technology allow social networks to aggregate a user’s interests and provide advertisers with this data.

By implementing these keywords as part of your social marketing tactics, your business is able to gear your marketing efforts toward those viewers most likely to purchase your products or services. SEO consulting lets advertising managers properly direct social marketing efforts to yield great results.

Lucrative Consulting – Using Twitter, Face-book To Build Your Business

admin    Social Media Marketing     Build, Business, Consulting, Facebook, Lucrative, Twitter, Using

Maybe you don’t know how social media can be used to build your Consulting business. Maybe you feel its just a big waste of time, with no real way you could consistently get clients, build brand or name recognition from using something like twitter.

Lets take a little time here, and let me show you how to build a successful Consulting business using online social media services. Begin with looking at how you already or might be able to use these services. If you spend time speaking to business professionals, or talking to people about business than were on the right path.

Because the social media world is a perfect pool of prospects and professionals.

“The Society for New Communications Research, conducted research which looked at 17,000 Internet users in 29 countries” and found that social media can have a dramatic impact on their brand’s reputation.

 ”34% post opinions about products and brands on their blog and 36% think more positively about companies that have blogs.”

What impact could that have on your business?

There is no faster way to create credibility and brand recognition than through social media. A valid reason alone for using sites such as Twitter and Face-book. Once you have begun to collect followers who seem interested in you and your business you will be in a position to offer real value to those seeking more info about you and what you have to offer.

That usually comes in the nature of questions in a post. These questions get speared throughout an entire network, and how you answer these questions will reflect your professionalism and personal touch.

Through these occasions of interaction you will be building a “case history” of sorts. You can create a FAQ, list, you can conduct a Survey, invite others for Interviews, and even do some advertising by posting titles and links to helpful articles that you write.

As you can see this is the probably the fastest and most efficient way to interact with prospects. You will very quickly be able to connect to hundreds of thousands of real live people who can contribute to your business. By sending you valuable content and leads. 

Web Marketing Consulting: Seo In 2010

admin    Website Marketing Companies     2010, Consulting, marketing

In the past 6 months, web marketing consulting has become a necessity for online business owners. There are changes coming in these first few months of 2010 that will put web marketing consulting up as the leader in the search engine industry, and this is the reason why.

The playing field for web marketing has been primarily dominated by search engine optimization (SEO) for years. It is hard to doubt the success that comes with direct and quality traffic, no matter what industry you are in. Even though this is considered a natural solution, why have so many SEO firms gone out of business in late 2009?

While SEO practices can be natural, high quality and organic, many SEO companies have abused any weakness found in Google’s algorithms in order to unnaturally advance their clients to the top of the rankings for certain keywords. Google is always on top of its search engine, and it doesn’t take very long for them to correct an error if a loophole is found. As a result, algorithms are changed in order to protect the quality of the search engine rankings.

Since at least August of 2009, Google has been working on a project known as “Caffeine” that is a complete overhaul of their algorithm. While it has been said that these changes will be relatively unnoticeable to the average user, experts believe it will be noticed by SEO firms. Websites with unnatural and non-organic growth are expected to be penalized, while websites with fresh, quality content and natural growth are expected to find increased rankings in caffeine. So, what exactly is organic growth?

The whole concept of organic growth is centered on the concept of public relations, networking, and honest communications with industry related websites throughout the internet. By developing relationships in your niche, organic growth is a simple process. The problem is that no SEO firm has the ability or time to learn your industry and build the necessary network needed to bring quality traffic and increase your rankings.

In house is the only way increase your rankings these days. Whether it be doing it yourself as the business owner, using someone in house to handle your web marketing, or hiring someone to be trained by a web marketing consulting firm, your likelihood of success in online marketing increases significantly over a hiring a search engine optimization firm.

When you hire a web marketing consulting firm, you get exactly what you need: information on how to set up your website’s backgrounds properly, how to build communicate with others in your industry in order to build traffic, and how to properly leverage networking opportunity in order to increase your search engine rankings.
