Internet Marketing For Chicago Businesses
By: Frank Rodriguez - In: Chicago Internet Marketing Services
29 May 2009Hi, my name is Frank and my goal is to help people improve their website marketing results by using video marketing combined with strategic keyword research. Here’s what a local business owner had to say about the work I did for him:
I’ve been a photographer for 20 years, but I got into online marketing when my wife and I started a spa business in 2004. It was our first business. Not surprisingly, we made some rookie mistakes. These mistakes, combined with an unscrupulous landlord, a corrupt state health department, and unexpected (but very large) expenses resulted in all of our operating capital being eaten up before we even opened our doors. This put the pressure on to market our business inexpensively. I learned how to write articles and publish them on free directories, I wrote press releases and sent them out to the local media, I networked at local business functions, and much more.
My internet marketing efforts cost little more than my time, but resulted in at least 25% of our business revenue! Compare this to the $1000s we paid in traditional advertising (coupon mailers, magazine advertising, trade shows, etc.), and it’s a no-brainer that online marketing works!
After we closed the spa, I started getting requests from Chicago area business owners we know to help them with their online marketing, and that’s where I find myself today. I’ve been a brick-and-mortar business owner, so I can appreciate the challenges of marketing a small business. Maybe it’s for that reason that I don’t charge as most as most of the online marketing companies, but when I get to the point where I’m too busy, I’m sure I’ll be charging a lot too, but for now, I can help Chicago area businesses make the most of their online marketing.
