Website Content Creation
Your website is pretty, but how much does it speak to your buyers? Having a pretty website is definitely going to help attract customers, but if the content on your site doesn't move them, they'll move on. Likewise, they may never find you if you don't have the content working for you day and night! Organic Content Brings in Leads If you are struggling to grow your business, one of the best tools in your arsenal is your website. If you do not have a website, if you have an outdated website, or if your website is all show and no talking, you're missing out! Let's Dive into a Real-World Example Loving Choice Senior Care is a group of wonderful women who have dedicated their life's to helping people. More recently, their focus is on helping patients who have dementia, Alzheimer's, and other factors that make it hard for them to live day to day without the care of professional caretakers. The problem was, there was no one place to go for someone seeking answers about how to care for their loved ones. Loving Choice Senior Care revolutionized that with their new website built by Virteom. They opted for a Content Booster with their website development so they could reach these people who were struggling to care for their family and friends. Smart Websites that Speak for You We build smart websites that do the heavy lifting for you! Each part of our process when building your site is designed to provide value to you

Looking for a cost-effective, time-efficient marketing strategy that truly boosts your business with all of the uncertainty that 2020 has brought? Virteom has the answer! Challenges of a Traditional Trade Show Traditional trade shows are turning into a thing of the past with the up and coming and ever-evolving technology we can use to connect with one another. Especially as we begin to see most companies working remotely in 2020. These days, it is expensive to be an exhibitor at a trade show, not only do you have to pay for the booth, display materials, and even some free giveaways to attract peoples attention, you also have to spend your time (usually on the weekend) attending an event that might not be fruitful. Not to mention, if the show is not in your area, then there is airfare and other travel expenses such as hotel boarding and employee expenses. With this risky, low return on investment, the traditional trade show is a dying breed. So, what is going to take the place of the traditional trade show? Why Virtual Trade Shows?

You can also tailor your messaging and target audience to meet each buyer's needs at any time. How Do Virtual Trade Shows Work?

But what strategies earn you the biggest lead in the game of online marketing? Let’s take a look. 1. Know Your Team Strategies which work for one team, fail for others. One jersey does not fit all. Think about it: Your call-to-action (CTA) or goal, reader or user, product or niche are all unique. Your strategy must address these factors. Craft strategies which target your specific audience and reach your goals. At Virteom, our Persona Development helps you identify your buyers for your marketing strategy. Creating campaigns for different buyers and following the funnel with a landing page tailored to them as well not only leads to more conversions, but better-quality leads. 2.

On your landing pages, keep the design and wording simple. You want to make sure you’re giving the end-user the information they need to make a decision, but they don’t need ALL of the information.
