Got Myself listed on the Philadelphia Marketing Directory

Looking for additional Internet Marketing at no cost to you? I suggest you visit the Philadelphia Marketing Directory. The site is well ranked on Google and can be an advantage to you if you're a marketing company in the Philadelphia area.

With all apologies to Geico, the most important fifteen minutes I spent was not on the phone. It was on the web. Let's back up a bit. My name is Jason and I run an internet marketing firm serving the greater Philadelphia region. We offer strategic marketing geared toward the web for businesses all over Philadelphia, the western suburbs, and south Jersey. We act as marketing consultants, providing input to mostly smaller companies looking to take the next step. Unfortunately, we were at the same spot, looking to take that same leap. We had tried numerous networking events, print and web ads, word-of-mouth campaigns, everything. But we still were stuck in third gear, never able to expand. Until we put our name in the Philadelphia Marketing Directory. I don't remember how I heard of the Philadelphia Marketing Directory. I think a fellow marketing professional first told me about it a couple years ago and I barely paid attention. At that time, we were growing and I couldn't see what a marketing directory would do for me. My calling card was my work, end of story. Why put out into something like that? A couple years went by and we started acting less and less like marketing consultants and more just sticking in Internet marketing. We had exhausted all our resources and couldn't go further than we were in the Philadelphia market. But getting our name into the marketing directory was the step we needed. The biggest boost was the new ability to add press releases and articles for ourselves. For once, our clients seemed excited about our ability to do internet marketing and strategic marketing at the same time—or not, depending on their needs. We had reached a clientele that valued all the services we offered. They could see them at a glance in the marketing directory, show other Philadelphia-based companies about us, and it was all right there for them to see. Another benefit for us was the ability to start being more geographically popular. We had clients from Conshohocken to Palmyra to Villanova. If we were to be true marketing consultants to these company, we would have to drive all over Philadelphia to visit them each time. Time is limited and we didn't have the availability of some firms with more marketing professionals. Now it's different. Thanks to the Philadelphia Marketing Directory's ability to sort by zip code, our clients began to become closer and we could build ties more easily. We may be marketing professionals but we are by no means impersonal. We like to be present in many areas and talk to our clients, finding out what they're looking to emphasize so our strategic marketing hits home and our internet marketing finds the broadest possible group of people. Career opportunities were something we could now offer. We had no chance at landing a good marketing professional let alone a marketing consultant. And forget about an internet marketing background. Thanks to the Philadelphia Marketing Directory, we have been able to bring in more people to help us in our projects. Some have left, but we are getting more and more marketing consultants, allowing me to focus on Philadelphia internet marketing. I cannot stress how highly I praise the Philadelphia Marketing Directory. My business has expanded in scale and contracted in region; both are positives. We have become known as a place that has true marketing professionals in every sense of the term, for which I am proud. I can only hope that other's experiences are as positive as mine. From the other stories I have heard from fellow Philadelphia strategic marketing firms that chose to put their name in the Philadelphia Marketing Directory, I have no doubt this is the case.
