WebRelief is more than a Web site development
firm with technical know-how, we are also a marketing firm with advanced Marketing degreed
resources. When you combine Web site development technical know-how with Marketing
savvy, a synergy is produced known as Web Marketing. But what exactly is Web
Marketing you ask?...
A fundamental question is usually asked by businesses: "Can I
make money by establishing a presence on the web?" Even non-profit
organizations ask the same question in the context of bringing in more members and/or
donations. Yes, is the answer.
The results produced by marketing your product, company or
organization solely through the Web will usually not be as impressive as the results
you'll obtain if you also compliment your Web campaign with complementary promotional
material. Sometimes it is more effective to combine the web medium with print media
such as newspaper advertisements. This can be key when attempting to generate brand
or company awareness for a new product.
When promoting an event on the web and that event is time-critical,
you will get more traffic to your site if you combine more traditional media with your web
effort, producing a one-two punch. By increasing awareness of your site through for
example, radio ads, the traffic to your site will be increased; sometimes dramatically.
Many customers who otherwise would not know about your event can be reached through
other media, sparking their interest in visiting your site for more details.
It is critical to get your site registered with the major search
engines, directories and listings. This however is "passive" marketing in
that traffic comes about only if a visitor is searching for your type of product or
service. If the visitor had not been explicitly looking for your type of business or
service via a search engine, they most likely would not have known about you.
A limited marketing budget is always a concern, especially for the
small business owner, but any business can promote their web site address on their
business cards, fliers, brochures, etc. Promoting through these other media
increases site traffic.
Web Marketing is finding the most effective means of generating
traffic, sales, leads, etc. to your site. Ironically, the Web alone is not always
the best way to market what you have to offer on the Web.
WebRelief consults with you to understand your objectives.
Through tightly focused sessions we come to understand your business objectives and
target audience. Based on your objectives, we formulate a recommendation that is

WebRelief quickly plans, specs out, and delivers the Web-based solution with you
being kept in the loop, every step of the way.
