			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Website visitors typically look at a site for 5 – 10 seconds. In that brief window of time the value of the site is determined. Captivate your audience with vibrant content and designs the second they enter your site.<span id="more-183"></span></p>
<p><em>Content is Important for Business<br />
</em>Website content tells customers why your business is the only business right for them. The content on your site should:</p>
<ul>
<li>Offer something of value to the reader</li>
<li>Be clear and concise</li>
<li>Relevant to your business</li>
</ul>
<p>Give visitors a reason to navigate through the rest of the site. Great content will keep them interested in the company and what you have to offer.</p>
<p><em>Content is Important for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<br />
</em>Content helps search engines determine how relevant your website is. The more up-to-date and clear your content the higher your website will be ranked on search result pages. There are several ways to use content for search engine optimization including:<em> </em></p>
<ul>
<li>Updating it often (weekly if possible). This way your site always offers something new to visitors and search engines indexing it.</li>
<li>Making it easy to read. Keep the number of words to a sentence and the number of sentences to a paragraph to a minimum.</li>
</ul>
<p>To measure the readability of a website use the Flesch Kincaid test which can be found under any major search engine.</p>
<p><em>Content is Important for Websites<br />
</em>Keep the content easy to scan and to the point so that readers can quickly locate the information they need.  It is important for your customers to read website content that indicates clearly what your business is about. Clear content direction includes:<em> </em></p>
<ul>
<li>Developing keywords that relate to your services. These should be words that customers most commonly use when referring to your business.</li>
</ul>
<p>Search engines will sort through your site for the most commonly used words. These words will determine how they index your site in their database. Search engine optimization looks at using relevant keywords used often.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>About NetGain</em></strong></p>
<p>NetGain SEO Inc. was founded in 2008 as an advanced web, marketing and graphic services company. NetGain specializes in making websites that are easily found on major search engines, such as, Google, Yahoo &amp; MSN . <span id="more-180"></span>The company utilizes modern search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to ensure that each client’s website maintains a global presence, drives traffic and generates revenue.</p>

This is something which Drew Dekker, Vice President &amp; founder of NetGain believes to demonstrate the company’s success. “Our formula is working on local and national levels. Getting strong organic search results are a great way to promote any business” notes Dekker.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>1. Attractive Content<br />
Include engaging content which provides a reason for site visitors to learn more about the business. <span id="more-155"></span>The information can work to establish credibility, create a sense of urgency for purchasing decisions and highlight the benefits of a particular organization over others.</p>
<p>2. Simple Navigation</p>
<p>Incorporate navigation tools which are easy to use so that the site can be viewed with ease. Two ways this can be accomplished are with buttons and text links. Buttons allow for one or two words of text to be enter into a visually appealing box which links to a corresponding page. Text links are embedded into the body of text and make it easier for visitors to view pages which relate to the content.</p>
<p>3. Track Leads<br />
Evaluate the sites success and failures using lead tracking tools. For example, Google analytics tracks what customers are visiting the site, how often, what pages they are viewing and for how long. This will determine where a site can be improved and what type of audience to focus attention on; including, the type of content and graphics which will target the end user.</p>
<p>4. Answer Questions<br />
Compile a list of common questions which arise from customers. Post and answer the questions in a section of the website. This will build credibility, provide reason for customers to view the site and enable them to access information quickly.</p>
<p>5. Be Available<br />
The easier a business is to contact the more inclined users will be to reach out. Offer support online through live chat forums or make clear contact pages with information featured prominently.</p>
<p>6. Give Reason For Contact<br />
Offer incentives! For example, a search engine optimization company could offer a free website assessment to customers visiting a corporate site. This will give customers a reason to contact the business.</p>
<p>7. Track Contact<br />
Include a contact form with the free website assessment. This will encourage site visitors to provide their phone or email address. Have a sales team follow up with the contact and initiate a sale.</p>
<p>8. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<br />
Be visible on search pages. Ensure that the site is easily found online with different search engine optimization techniques. Check a site ranking by searching it in Google or Yahoo. If the site does not appear within the top five or ten sites listed on the results page, customers are not able to find the site and leads will be lost to more easily found competitors. There are various tools for fully search engine optimizing a site to find out more information contact: www.netgainseo.com.</p>
<p>9.Respond to Inquiries Quickly<br />
Ensure that customers are not waiting for a response, as the longer they have to wait the quicker they will turn to a competitor for assistance. If a company responds quickly the odds of the site visitors turning into repeat customer’s increases, as customers that are satisfied the first time are more likely to return in the future.</p>
<p>10. Provide Clear Purchasing Options<br />
Don’t be elusive with pricing. Provide clear, direct information regarding the purchasing of products. This can be done through e-commerce sites which allow customers to purchase product directly from the site.</p>

<p><strong><em>Executive Summary</em></strong><em><br />
</em>In 2008, Busch Systems International outsourced all marketing initiatives to NetGain SEO. This case study will examine if this proved a worthwhile investment; specifically, if the web and marketing services company improved the quality of Busch’s business and facilitated their cash flow. To accomplish this several marketing efforts will be examined; including, the new corporate website, product guides, promotional materials and online advertising. An analysis will be performed on the effectiveness of these applications so to determine what worked, what didn’t and what remains for the future.<span id="more-151"></span><br />
<em></em></p>
<p><strong><em>Background<a href="http://netgainseo.com/netgainseo-news/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Netgain-Logo-JUST-N_05.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-165" title="Netgain-Logo-JUST-N_05" src="http://netgainseo.com/netgainseo-news/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Netgain-Logo-JUST-N_05.jpg" alt="" width="114" height="87" /></a></em></strong><em><br />
</em>NetGain SEO Inc. is a marketing services company located in Barrie, Ontario which specializes in web design, search engine optimization, web services, print and graphic design. The company utilizes modern search engine optimization techniques to ensure that each client’s website maintains a global presence, drives traffic and generates revenue. NetGain also offers a complete line of marketing services, such as, the creation and distribution of product catalogues, monthly e-newsletters, product sell sheets, articles, press releases, tradeshow signage and postcard campaigns.</p>
<p>Busch Systems International has been the North American leader of recycling, waste and compost containers for the past twenty five years; setting the industry standard for the yearly production of new molded bins. Each container manufactured by the company is 100% recyclable, made in North America and contains a minimum of 35% recycled content. Busch products remain steadfast in the quality and environmental sustainability which customers have come to expect, while integrating a new innovative blueprints for the advantageous collection of recyclables and waste.</p>
<p>Busch selected NetGain to take over its marketing initiatives as previous in-house strategies proved unsuccessful. The company came to see the value in professional assistance for rebranding and leveraging business into its next phase of success. NetGain has developed effective websites and marketing assets for such companies as All Source Secure Container USA, Archive Document Storage and Container Essentials. Each of which were widely successful, as well as, efficiently and tactfully done. For example, in three short months NetGain was able to produce Container Essentials corporate website, downloadable product sell sheets, monthly e-newsletters, promotional flyers and product brochures.</p>
<p><strong><em>Analysis</em></strong><br />
Busch Systems was eager to turn their marketing ideas into action but was slow to fully adopt the change. Due to failed marketing strategies in the past the company was slow to relinquish control. NetGain embraced the challenge and provided the company with a list of structured marketing ideas and potential services which would best service them. Among this list was revamping the corporate website, developing a product guide, monthly e-mail blasts and rebranding of all marketing assets.</p>
<p>First on the priority list was a revamped corporate website. The goal was to collect information from the previous site and incorporate it into a new and improved corporate website. For this NetGain drew on its team of highly educated and creative designers, as well as, communication and production experts. Collectively, the team developed a modern, clean and engaging site which illustrates the quality and integrity of Busch Systems. The website integrates cutting edge DHTML, PHP, Java and CMS. NetGain also continues to provide ongoing site maintenance, updates and new innovative design strategies. This keeps the site informative, fresh and up to date.</p>
<p>The revamped corporate website developed a global online presence for the company. This is a result of the search engine optimization techniques which NetGain utilizes. The techniques have enabled the company to achieve top five results for all recycling container related keywords. The website is easily found and contains simplified navigation systems. This facilitates consumer’s location of products which expedites and simplifies their purchasing decisions.</p>
<p>Next on the list of marketing initiatives was the Busch product guide. For this NetGain produced, edited and implemented professional product photos for their entire line (consisting of over thirty recycling, waste and secure document containers). The company incorporated the photos into an assortment of information; including, an environmental policy, company history, product specifications and sell sheets.</p>
<p>The guide successfully rebranded the companies professional identity and set it apart from its competition. The guide highlights Busch’s key competitive advantages; specifically, a snap shot of the extensive line of containers on the cover and list of environmental accountabilities inside. It has been distributed to customers, posted online and added to recycling resource libraries across North America. Each of these sources has provided positive feedback on its usefulness and simplicity for locating company and product specific information.</p>
<p>Following the product guide was the application of monthly e-newsletters and e-advertisements. NetGain compiles the e-mailers from start to finish based on the target specified by Busch; from copy generation to graphic design and distribution.  The e-mailers while many, are well structured and effectively executed.</p>
<p>Busch has great expectations for the success of the e-mail campaigns which is largely attainable if the general rule of <em>less is more</em> is applied. Overwhelming the consumer with repeated online messages can grow tiresome and even intrusive. Further, this poses a hindrance the company’s future application of the tool as frequent e-mailers can cause software corporations to censor the sender as spam and restrict all future communication. Quantity aside NetGain has developed successful complex online advertising campaigns; performing at more than triple the CTR and CPM rates over averages that have given over 2 million impressions.</p>
<p>NetGain has also completely rebranded all of the manufacturers marketing assets; including day to day artwork requests, print<a href="http://netgainseo.com/netgainseo-news/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Busch-Systems-2009-Catalogue-thumbnail_03.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-166" title="Busch-Systems-2009-Catalogue-thumbnail_03" src="http://netgainseo.com/netgainseo-news/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Busch-Systems-2009-Catalogue-thumbnail_03.png" alt="" width="57" height="64" /></a>campaigns, product updates, literature, interactive forums and tradeshow materials. The company has generated substantial improvements for the quality of design work and reduced Busch’s marketing costs by over $100,000. NetGain has also created more than five times the digital content in less than one year than in the entire history of the company.</p>
<p>In the future, NetGain plans to concentrate its efforts on extending current communication strategies. The company intends to engage in compressive tradeshow correspondence, press release generation and submissions, online blog forums and Facebook applications. The goal is to keep Busch <em>top of mind </em>for consumers by being consistently present and useful. This will serve to promote the company, its credibility and products while generating traffic and producing sales.</p>
<p><strong><em>Conclusion</em></strong><br />
Following the success of web and marketing services provided thus far, Busch is eager to see what the future has in store. With a renewed belief in the abilities of advertising Busch has fully relinquished marketing control to NetGain. The application of this control in various techniques and technologies has successfully improved the quality of business, drove traffic and impacted sales for the company. However, the question which remains is whether or not the new marketing strategies will continue to be effective once the novelty begins to fade. If NetGain’s pre-emptive measures of continual website maintenance, as well as, new copy and graphic generation is any indication than the novelty will not soon diminish.</p>
