Business description
Which other industry do you know which is growing at 38% per ANNUM? Internet advertising is! It is due to overtake television advertising next year.
Our booming business, which specialises in advertising companies online, is perfectly placed to continue to profit from the billions of pounds being transferred from offline to online advertising!
Furthermore, this agency specialises in the UK, which leads the world in online marketing, and is known as 'dot.com treasure island' because of the amount of money being made in the field. Companies from around the world are desperate to enter the UK market as the profits are higher than other countries including the USA.
This online marketing agency is well known in the industry.
We have long-term, lucrative contracts to market businesses online. Our clients are primarily small to medium size companies, but we have also carried out projects for some of the world’s largest corporations such as BMI, National Accident Helpline, Fitness First, BHS, Debtbuster Loans, ITV, and BT.
The business has divisions devoted to Affiliate Management, SEO, PPC, Email Marketing, Online Public Relations and Website Design and Development.
We have been working in online marketing since 1997 and, over the last decade, have brought on board leading talent in each of our specialisms to provide a premium service to clients.
The staff are highly reliable and work from home, which saves the owner of the business considerable money and headache.
We have a record and reputation in the industry which is second to none and have generated tens of millions of pounds in sales for our roll call of delighted clients.
Business includes: state-of-the-art website built by award-winning designers (took nine months and over 200 revisions to complete); well-known online marketing blog; hundreds of pages of documentation and brochures written by industry specialists and professional copywriters; 1000+ pages of staff training materials; several months of training and support at a time and place to suit you.
The websites, which will be handed over to the buyer, have acquired THOUSANDS of links to them over the years and this means fresh enquiries from potential clients every week.
Crucially, the buyer(s) will be marketed and introduced to leading figures, networks and agencies in online marketing; our rolodex of contacts, which we have built since 1997, is the most extensive in the business bar none.
