Marketing Strategy – Why it’s necessary
Many business executives question the value of developing a marketing strategy especially if business objectives have been established. They just want to execute a marketing plan. It’s important to spend the upfront time to be sure that your marketing programs are on a solid foundation. Packaging, or look and feel, can be an example of how skipping strategy can cause disconnect in your marketing deliverables. Placing on-target messages in a plain wrapper or distracting package can detract from the message. Similarly, creating attractive packaging without creating well thought out content can have similar results – pretty but empty.

Search Engine Optimization: What is it and why is it important?
Search engine optimization, or SEO, allows for the creation of a higher search engine ranking and is a key to a successful internet marketing strategy. SEO can be defined as strategic analysis and placement of keywords in the text of a website to enable search engines to read and rank them accordingly. Search engines connect customers with suppliers at the very moment of interest. They help people get what they want, when they want it. Understanding what elements search engines look for is crucial to successfully implementing SEO.

The Managed Service Approach – Begins with Monitoring
If you purchased a new car recently, you may take it to the dealer for regular maintenance intervals. You may be reminded of these service intervals by the dealer or the vehicle itself. You may also have road side assistance for breakdowns. During the service check, problems may be uncovered and corrected, but wouldn’t you rather know before the vehicle breaks down? Do you have the same type of service for your Network? Does someone remind you to have it checked at regular intervals? Or do you only have it worked on when problems occur – when your hard drive fills up or email goes down?

Case Study
American Home Bank moves to #1 in Google Search
Case Study

American Home Bank was a relatively new mortgage bank that needed to expand rapidly in a number of niche markets. One of the first markets that was identified was Log Mortgages. The basic website for AmericanLogMortgage.com was created early in the business process, and traffic to the site was not meeting the company’s expectations.

American Home Bank came to Affinigent with their problem, where it was discovered that their Google ranking was not up to par. Competitors were ranking much better than AHB and were getting all the website hits, as well as business because of it.

An analysis of keyword popularity and searching patterns helped to determine the strategy for search engine optimization. This program resulted in a solid #1 ranking in Google and a number of other search engines. Affinigent’s website statistics show a steady growth of traffic to the American Home Bank’s websites, and for AHB, business is booming.
