No client left behind

We give max to every client. Period.

Turn on all those small tweaks that move web site up the SEO ladder. Google Analytics is a must, follow up of performance long after client moves or disappears is always present.

Analysis before any major move to serious investment is crucial, in order to save client and our time with resources.

This can eat time but at the end of the day, meaningful site (which makes money) is preferred. Site that just sits there doing nothing is waste of time and creativity.

Let’s share some time together. We add value.

Consulting rules

Stand out of Crowd / by Paul Likes Pics

If you come to our office or invite us to come to your premise, you can expect serious business.

In order for this not to look like an advertisement, expect us to bring nasty questions to your doors. We are interested into business that brings value to client.

We go after success and bring into our engagement full force. We are in business that brings more money to your desk and hefty lot on ours. And we will listen to your idea.

Sometimes we deliver ideas that got used by clients without any remuneration. That is not OK and we tend to speak about it. Even with lawyers.

Size vs. Quality – and Yes, it does matter

Some random big car in front of office

In the last days in the neighborhood where our office is situated, we notice some really big, really expensive cars.

For these guys, you can really say, size does matter.

We remembered one potential client, from the hood, with really, really BIG idea.

BIG idea

The idea was so huge, that involved serious transcoding – lasting months, storage space – that can be handled only by CDN, and bandwidth comparable to Amazon or Google pipeline.

Anyway, the idea was BIG (notice was), and can produce significant money if implemented properly with carefully calculated steps with serious Project Manager and hard core coders.

Calculation

The value of operational cost for first 6 months, just running the business was approximately as the value of the car he was driving.

This drove potential client away from us.

Wake up call

Now, I can just perceive the moment when wake up call came and potential client realized that start-up costs are expensive as his own car. Quality is expensive, which is true. Size is expensive too.

So, with the balance of size and quality you can start slowly and carefully build up your business, offline or online, using really smart people.

Yeah baby, real cash!

Client “Budget”

Watching bright future

One simple advice to all clients who want to go online and do “real-some-thing”.. first re-think and re-calculate your budget. Second, find an appropriate agency (freelancer/team .. ) and tell him/them what is your budget & goal for this project.

Why is this approach GOOD.

Client knows what is his budget limit – based on his business performance or future expectations/opportunities ..

Real down to business freelancer/team/agency/.. knows what make sense to do online, what works & what doesn’t, he knows time frames for deliveries, prices, trends, ROI issues, opportunities etc..

Simply it saves time and delivers the best ideas/results for the client. It creates strong, efficient and creative bond between client & agency. Client wants new market or to reinforce existent one and agency wants steady income, chance/time to do something great/new/fresh/.. with real business results. Why with “real measured results” – because client will work again with that agency and others will recognize you and your work which will produce more good work in the future for the agency.

If we go back at the beginning of our carriers we’ll remember that we’ve wanted to CREATE something GOOD, VALUABLE, NEW so others will have respect for us and everything that comes with it – new work, new clients, freedom, profit, chance to meet new interesting people, see new places, create new ideas…

Isn’t it great.
