With a focus on Myers’ two main categories of business, stair glides and ramps, Qiigo was able to immediately impact his call volume. Myers started seeing an increase of as many as 4 calls each day. By qualifying those calls, he has seen an increase in closed sales over the last several months. “Our March numbers were up 50% over February, April was up 25% over March, and we are on track to have a record month in May thanks to the SEO work Qiigo has done,” says Dave Myers. Driving business to his local site was an important objective for Myers. His clients want to work with someone who has a local presence, someone who is rooted in the local community. By emphasizing his local website and phone number, Qiigo was able to start generating calls for Myers right from the start of the campaign. With the volume of calls increasing exponentially, Myers has even added staff to ensure that phones are answered at all times.  “I am 100% pleased with the work that Qiigo has done and I look forward to expanding my efforts with Qiigo shortly,” says Myers.]]> http://qiigo.com/success-stories/phones-are-ringing-in-philly/feed/ 0 http://qiigo.com/press-releases/search-engine-marketer-of-year/ http://qiigo.com/press-releases/search-engine-marketer-of-year/#comments Tue, 23 Nov 2010 14:44:43 +0000 ginny http://www.qiigo.com/wordpress/?p=954 Technology Association of Georgia – Tech Marketing Awards, November 2010 ATLANTA, November 23, 2010 – Rick Batchelor, CEO of Qiigo, was recognized for his outstanding work in the field of Search Engine Marketing at the 2010 Tech Marketing Awards.  Presented by the Technology Association of Georgia, the Tech Marketing Awards recognize Georgia’s most innovative marketing leaders, those individuals whose ingenuity, vision, leadership and foresight in the usage of technology led to marketing success.  The 2010 Tech Marketing Awards acknowledge and pay tribute to individual achievements in the innovative use of technology to drive marketing strategies, generate new standards of excellence and achieve profitable results.

Don’t be afraid to ask.  If you have been working with a client who is giving you positive verbal feedback, don’t be afraid to ask them to put it in writing.  Tell them how you intend to use the testimonial (online, brochures, email blasts, etc).  Ask them to include mentions of specific products or services you would like to draw attention to.  Some clients may not be comfortable writing their own testimonial.  If you run into this situation offer to write it for them, based on their previous comments, and have them approve it for use.

Use it here, Use it there, Use it EVERYWHERE!  From Ezines to websites, there are many places that can benefit from a well placed testimonial.  If you have an Ezine, include testimonials at the end of your featured article.  On your website, you can have a page dedicated to testimonials, but don’t overlook the impact that they can have when placed throughout your site.  Traditional marketing materials from direct mail to newspaper ads to brochures are a great place for testimonial usage.  A call out box is a great way to draw attention to the positive words your clients are sharing.

Variety is the spice of life.  Rotate your testimonials for maximum impact.  Don’t use the same words on every marketing piece all the time.  Use different quotes in different places at different times.  Try to marry the testimonial to the product or service you are highlighting.  A general endorsement of your company can be used in nearly any application.  Just remember to keep it fresh and new.

Put a name with a face.  If possible, try to get a photo of your client or a logo to use with their testimonial.  If you are using a testimonial from a client who is also a business owner, offer to use their quote with a link to their website. Everyone wins in this scenario.  For real impact, have your client’s record or video tape their endorsement.  Posting the video to your website, YouTube, Facebook or MySpace is a great visual for your business.

Testimonials are valuable marketing tools.  Use them in as many situations as you can.  They are a no cost way to draw attention and add credibility to your business.  Don’t let your business’ testimonials go to waste.]]> http://qiigo.com/success-stories/getting-the-greatest-impact-from-your-testimonials/feed/ 0
