No, you won’t find these photos hanging in an art gallery. But at least you won’t find them in a post office either. Learn more about the people @ Activated Marketing.

Just in case you were wondering what kind of geeks, artists, nerds and stereotypical sales folks we hired might look like, we’ve compiled the following for your perusal. While an uncommonly attractive group, this team’s good looks are only eclipsed by their engaging personalities, one-of-a-kind talent and selfless dedication (hey, we’re marketers, what did you expect us to write about ourselves?)

Thank You

Thank you for joining our quest to rid the world of bad online marketing. The Activated Marketing Referral Program is an excellent opportunity for you to earn additional income thru their professional referrals that result in new business. Referral partners will receive 5% of the total net contract price for each opportunity.

Our Sales Process

1. For new clients the Sales process is consultative. We listen first to what the client is experiencing. What are their goals? What are their pain points? What wants, needs and desires have been unmet? We ask that you set up the initial meeting with the client to discuss these.
2. After the initial meeting, your Activated Marketing representative will create a presentation with suggested products and services that we believe can solve their problems or accomplish their goals. This includes pricing.
3. Your AM representative will schedule a second meeting with the client to present our ideas. After the presentation, if the client wants a written proposal, we will provide one. The proposal includes details of the work, pricing, timelines, schedules as well terms and conditions.
4. The decision can happen immediately or may be delayed due to a number of variables. We will follow up until the opportunity is closed or dead.

We also welcome opportunities for one off projects (i.e. websites, videos, apps, etc.).

1. For opportunities where you know the client is only looking for a specific product or service, please set up the initial meeting so that we can get the specifics.
2. After the meeting, we will put together a proposal and attempt to close.

Referral Program Terms and Conditions

Activated Marketing will pay a referral fee for each new lead that results in a new project for one or more of our products and services. The lead must be for a new project to qualify. The referral fee paid will equal 5% of the total net contract price between the customer and Activated Marketing for that particular project. Activated Marketing will pay the referral fee upon receipt of client’s final acceptance and last payment.

We don’t withhold taxes from referral fee payments. It is your responsibility to comply with the tax laws in your country, state, province, county or city. You should have received a United States tax form from us when you registered. If you need another copy, they can be found on the IRS website www.irs.gov.

We’ve got some goodies for you! Just fill out the short form below, and we’ll send you your guide and link to our upcoming State of the Internet” webinar! (It’s pretty cool, and not at all spammy).

Kodner Watkins has a long history of service to some very high profile clients and cases. They wanted to showcase some of these cases as well as present their attorneys to potential clients with more than just a photo and biography page. Although they wanted to change the look of their website to better reflect their unique personality, they also wanted to have enough information and resources available to visitors so as to empower them to make a clear choice for representation.

The partners were interviewed, giving them an opportunity to tell in their own words why they are different from other attorneys, most significantly that they answer their own phone calls rather than letting them go to voicemail or assistants.

Video tells a story like no other medium can.

Video Testimonial

Testimonials from clients are powerful. They tell prospective clients things you cannot tell them yourself. Although written testimonials from “Joe B., New York” may be sufficient, you can’t get better than a real-life on-camera story.

We love marketing. We love crafting exceptional experiences that compel prospects to become clients. We love measuring our progress. We love the art and science of effective selling. We’d love to help you too. Here’s a small list of the things we can do for you.

Your site performs better when optimized!

Website optimization is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results, and the way the page interacts with your visitors.

Sometimes, the right answer is Search engine marketing (SEM) methods – including paid listings to achieve higher rankings in Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines.

The higher and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more clicks and visitors it will receive. Well crafted SEO targets all kinds of search including image search, local search, video search, even academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

In the end – if your site doesn’t get traffic, it doesn’t matter how well you designed and planned your website.

If you’d like to get a free analysis of how well your website ranks, how that compares to your competitors website ranking, and how you can improve your overall search engine results, then call us. We’ll run a comprehensive search engine ranking report and show you steps you can take today to improve your search engine results.

BAM Contracting had a site with content pages requiring period updates, however, editing the site was difficult and required valuable time from staff that was critical to in-house projects. BAM was transitioning from a construction company to a contracting company, and they wanted their site to reflect that distinction. Activated Marketing was able to present an updated design more accurately reflecting the personality of the company and staff, as well as offering an easy option for updates and presentation of benefits.

Moms Into Fitness was looking to change the initial impression the website home page presented. In addition, the website offered no avenue for capturing contact information for interested visitors, offering an opportunity to offer value-added information and tips for success, as well as sales promotions.

With the change to the home page recommended and designed by Activated Marketing, Moms Into Fitness was able to capture the same number of contacts, in the first seven days, as were previously captured in the prior four years.

Activated Marketing was able to help simplify the home page design, create compelling calls to action using lead capture systems and landing page strategies for better conversion and follow up after the sale. Activated Marketing was also able to set up a new online training platform as well as a complete sales force automation platform to capture, qualify, market and convert new visitors and customers.

Moms Into Fitness Introduction Video

This is one of several videos created for Moms Into Fitness. Lindsay Brin needed a warm, friendly introduction to visitors of her website featuring a personal message connecting with new and existing clients telling them how she can help new moms regain control of their life and health.

"Activated Marketing has been extremely helpful with creating an entire marketing plan for my business, not just helping with my website or video. They are excellent at producing those, too, but the real value has been in helping with my whole game plan."
