studio S Testimonial

It wasn’t so much that I wanted a website – it was more that I needed a website. I knew it was time, but how could I do this? You see, I am not proficient in the language of website technology.

That was no obstacle for Keith. Keith did everything for me – and then some! Most importantly, Keith listened to what I said and designed my website accordingly. He even made provisions for changes and adjustments down the road. His technology skills, professionalism and patience are commendable.

Check out my website. You will see what a beautiful job Keith did displaying my photographs. Click on any picture for a full view of the image. Then use the arrows to advance forward or backward to view all images without interruption. You can even see the title of each image by holding your mouse over the picture. Thanks to Keith’s technology skills, I now have a website that is viewer friendly.

Thank you, Keith.

Keith,
Thanks so much for all your help and dedication in developing and “tweaking” my web site. With your help, ideas, and know-how we were able to elevate an adequate web site to one that now stands out and has generated much more interest. I have found that in developing a web site there are many learning curves and time commitments especially when someone, such as myself, didn’t really know what I wanted but sort of knew what I didn’t want. I am pleased with where we are today and the amount of time and effort we had to put into this project. Best of luck Keith.

Regards,

Danny O’Malley

Leominster Marketing

Marketing.

To some in business this is on their list of “bad words”. Mainly because the word itself conjures up images of dollar signs flowing OUT of their budgets, instead of flowing IN.

Marketing, especially in a small town like Leominster tends to get overlooked by most due to the above reason…cost. Newspapers charge an arm and a leg to run ads, and we all know that a one-time ad is about useless; forcing you to want to run ads for weeks, months, even years at a time.

With profit margins and sales in general shrinking, the ability to set aside a certain percentage of profits to dedicate to advertising is a lesson in futility. So what is a business owner to do?

We all want more sales! And most of us don’t have the cash on hand to afford what we believe to be an effective print advertising campaign. Heck, who even reads the papers anymore, and the ones that do are so conditioned to NOT look at ads, chances have it yours won’t get seen!

So what are we supposed to do???? Give up? Let nature take its course and let whatever happens…just happen?

No! In tough times we need to be flexible and open to new ideas. Someone once said the definition of “crazy” is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. So do something different. Remember, this is YOUR business we are talking about. You have put countless hours of blood, sweat and even tears into building this. You have sacrificed family time, missed out on many “fun” opportunities! I have one word for you….F I G H T.

Fight for your business! If what was working no longer is cutting it, try something else. Marketing is the answer, regardless of whether you want to hear it or not. Marketing does not have to cost you a fortune,  and there are so many ways to market…only limited by your imagination!

Of course I am a fan of web marketing, so naturally I would choose to maximize my web efforts first and foremost. The cost for a website is so affordable now that not having one makes no sense whatsoever. It can be used to inform and educate your current and potential customers, as well as recruit and qualify new leads for you. The cost is minimal in comparison to the lifetime value of a customer. If your competitors have a website, they are stealing your customers, whether you know it or not!

Adamant that the web is not for you and your business? Ok, how about in-store promotions? Email campaigns? Thought about changing your signage? How about sponsoring a local event?

Have a highly visible store-front? How about doing something remarkable and eye catching with a display? Something that jumps out and grabs  attention?

Leominster’s Annual Summer Stroll is coming up this summer, thought about setting up a booth? Where else will you get thousands of LOCAL residents walking into your “store”??? Talk about word-of-mouth!!!

My point here is to think outside of the box. Hell, take the box, stomp it into the dirt, then toss it in the recycle bin. Promoting yourself does not have to cost gobs of cash!! Use your imagination and come up with something that will make you stand out and help spread the word. No one knows your business or has as much passion as you do for it, so get out of your current mindset and go promote yourself!!

I met Keith thru the Leominster Small Business Association. He offered to work with those of us in the group who didn’t have a website.

When I first made email contact, his response was immediate and I learned quickly that this man knew what he was doing and was very professional. We met to go over what I wanted on my website. Keith gave me a list of ideas and asked me to write about my experience and my business. He also asked if I had a logo. I didn’t have one, and gave me a concept of what I wanted.

Soon after I gave him the text I had written he sent me an email with my new website attached. I was amazed! I couldn’t believe that in a few short days, with so little effort on my part, he developed and designed a webpage that fit my business exactly!

Keith guided me thru getting a domain name, to helping get my ideas in writing, and even down to the logo in the exact design and colors I wanted. When you work with Keith Boisvert the best thing to do is put everything in his hands - they will do all the work for you.

Leominster Web Design

I know as a small business owner that you have many options for web designers. From the neighbors whiz kid nephew to a multitude of local design firms. The choices can be overwhelming at times, and Leominster Web Designers are ‘a plenty.

Cost is one of the biggest controlling factors in the decision making process. It is obvious that skill and aptitude to do the job is crucial, but cost tends to drive most decisions.

However, before one jumps to a decision, one thing that should weigh into the process, is customer satisfaction/service. Recently, I have run into a rash of clients that have had a site built in the past only to feel jaded and left alone after the site was built. Ongoing support and customer support seems to be the one thing lacking from most design firms. Make sure you pick a company that can deliver the ongoing support that you need.

Small business knowledge is another factor that should play into consideration. You want a designer that understands your business. That takes into consideration your client base and their needs and wants. Because ultimately, your website should be a tool to drive sales, which can only be done with the end user in mind. Having a beautiful site that does not convert visitors to paying customers is a waste of bandwidth. You want conversions!

Vero Concepts prides itself on its deep understanding of small business, and is dedicated to customer service. Let’s face it, I think we can all agree that your satisfaction is the most important factor here, and if you are happy, that reflects upon our business. If your website makes you money, we have done our job!

The Gondola Restaurant

The Gondola Restaurant

Leominster, Ma. based Gondola Restaurant got a website “facelift” this past week, and will keep it updated on a regular basis.

The most interesting feature that is coming soon is a section devoted to the history of the restaurant, with tons of old pictures of the place throughout the past 50 years! Being a history buff myself, I am looking forward to putting this together! I can’t wait to see all of the pictures! I have been going to the restaurant myself since the early 70’s, so it is a fun and interesting project for me personally!

I will post more here once I have more news…
