What services does Marine Creative provide?
A: We offer all types of Web Design, Online Marketing, Video Production and other related services. We specialize in working with small businesses and start-ups. We perform the bulk of our work in-house, and also utilize a network of professional partners.
How long has Marine Creative been in business?
A: We have been working in web design since 1996. In that time, we have done work for over 200 satisfied clients, as well as built and managed a number of our own successful eCommerce and online retail businesses.
When developing a web site, what do I need to provide?
A: Like a builder or construction company, we have the tools and know-how to build & market your web site. But we need the materials from which to build that site. So you must provide text-based information, photos & other images and any other content you feel your customers will want to see when they visit your web site. We can design a logo, create web graphics, and even provide stock photos and research content online for your site (at an additional charge), if necessary.
How long does it take to build and complete a web site?
A: If we have been given ALL of the necessary materials, we can have your site completed in 2-3 weeks. However, we have found that 95% of the time our clients have not been able to provide us with all of the agreed upon materials necessary, and that is usually the determining factor in the site being completed.
What if I already have a web site?
A: One of the biggest mistakes we see businesses make is not updating or properly maintaining their web sites. Marine Creative can provide a free, no-obligation review of your current web site, and offer suggested changes & improvements that you can definitely benefit from.
I'd like to sell products from my site, what do you offer?
A: Our company not only develops informational web sites, we can create a complete eCommerce online retail solution for you company. We can either build an entire new site for you, or add shopping cart capability to your existing site. For those who don't want to invest a lot of cash up front, we also offer our shopping cart development for a low monthly fee!
What sort of online marketing services do you offer?
A: Marine Creative provides numerous online marketing services including Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Local Search Engine Optimization (LSEO), Social Media Optimization (SMO), Pay Per Click Management (PPC), Lead Generation, and Email Marketing. We offer both custom programs as well as affordable packages for these services.
What is Social Media Optimization, and how can it help my business?
A: Social Media Optimization (SMO) consists of a number of different inbound marketing functions and services. It is is a way of helping to bring more web visitors to your site, as well as attaining more inbound links and building your brand. Our SMO services (in conjunction with Netsmartz, the Woprld's Larges SEO Company) include Article Submission, Blog Submission, Directory Submission, MySpace, eBay, and YouTube Page Promotion, Press Release Submission and Video Upload & Video Marketing.
How does Pay Per Click Marketing work, and what can it do for us?
A: Marine Creative provides Pay Per Click Management (PPC) services, primarily for Google AdWords. These are the sponsored listings you see at the very top and in the right column of Google's search results. PPC can quickly drive traffic to your web site for selected relevant keywords and phrases, and is especially helpful for brand new web sites that need web traffic but which won't be listed in Google's organic search results for many months. Clicks can often cost anywhere from $.25 to $5.00 each, and Marine Creative can track your sales conversions to help you determine your actual Return On Investment (ROI).
What types of video production services do you offer?
A: Marine Creative can create any type of video for your business, from online web videos to full production TV spots. We can create everything from low cost videos using your existing text, photo and other content to full on-site live production shoots with multiple cameras. All of our video production includes music & editing, and can also include professional voice over.
What are the benefits of online video?
A: Recently, online video usage has exploded, and its benefits are many. Product videos have proven to increase online shopping cart conversions by as much as 80%. Adding video to your site increases customer loyalty and retention. Uploading properly tagged and formatted videos to search sites like YouTube have proven to help greatly in achieving higher organic (natural) search engine rankings on Google. There are many more benefits to adding online video ... too many too mention here.
