Marketing started from November 2002 until April 2003 after which my site went onto a maintenance package.

It was a learning curve to work with Marinda as I learned a lot about the online marketing process, search engine optimization and positioning of my site. Sales already resulted from my site and not only did I manage to obtain several enquiries but also learned the importance of building an online community and the value of being active in forums and chat rooms.

I found Marinda very honest as far as the logging of her hours are concerned and after each update I am briefed regarding the changes and what effect it would have on the site. The hunting industry in South Africa is a highly competitive market and the strategies as well as approaches and recommendations received were more than just useful. After six months I received a detailed report with recommendations which were implemented to keep my site current. Even on maintenance mode my site enjoys no. 1 placement on search results on relevant search terms. This to me is of course most important as I can already see the increase in inquiries with this search engine positioning.

Marinda is also well networked and introduced my company to US booking agents and strategic important bow hunting organizations in Europe. The European market I would never perhaps have had access to was it not for Marinda.

She is creative in her lateral thinking processes, thorough in what she does as she analyzes and tests everything before she implements and I definitely could see the effect of the online marketing on my web site traffic and the targeted, qualified inquiries I received to date.

I compare my site regularly with other web sites in the hunting industry and must note that as far as content is concerned my site far exceeds that of my competitors.

It is a learning curve and I enjoy having E-SPECTATIONS on board as a SEO and marketing consultant." I would not hesitate in recommending anyone to
E-SPECTATIONS CONSULTING.
