All Events

On September 23rd, James Sherrett presented to the Saskatchewan Publishers Association and we’d like to offer you a special deal on the Boxcar Marketing Quick-Fix Report.

The Boxcar Marketing Quick-Fix Report is a scorecard of what is working and not working on your site, plus a list of recommended changes that you can quickly implement so that your website performs better. We are offering members of the Saskatchewan Publishers Association the Boxcar Marketing Quick-Fix Report Card for $750.

Let us explain how it works:

The Quick-Fix Report

Step 1: We start by reviewing your responses to our short questionnaire about the goals and audience for your website (or by having a quick question-answer phone call).

Step 2: With your business context in mind, we review the following aspects of your site and provide a list of prioritized recommendations for you to implement.

Key Areas That We Investigate

Strategy, Intent, Purpose

A website operates as your receptionist, key sales and marketing person, and brand advocate.

  1. Is the strategic intent of your website clear?
  2. What are your visitors trying to do on your site?
  3. What do you want them to do on your site?
  4. Does the website design reflect your company culture and profession?
  5. Are the aesthetics consistent with what your visitor expects?

Design, Functionality

What’s working? What’s not working?

  1. Are you making the best use of the functionality offered by the web?
  2. Is your website a brochure or full-functioning website?
  3. Do buttons and links look clickable?
  4. Are best practices followed?

Information Architecture

  1. Is the site structure clear?
  2. Can visitors easily complete desired tasks?
  3. Are best practices followed for navigation, layout, site structure?

Content Strategy

  1. Word Choice and Jargon: Does the site use language your visitor would use, not the jargon or acronyms you use internally.
  2. Readability: Are pages scannable and uncluttered?
  3. Visual Hierarchy: Is there an intuitive visual hierarchy to how content is presented?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Does your website show up in search results related to relevant terms for your business?

  1. Is your site optimized for search?
  2. Does it use search-optimized heading tags, page titles, meta descriptions, user-friendly URLs and image file names and ALT tags

Permission Marketing (Relationship Building)

  1. How do you generate leads from the website?
  2. Do you use social media tools?
  3. How do you use content, offers, newsletters, or other to nourish leads?

Step 3: If you prefer us to follow-up with a 30-minute phone call, we are happy to do so.

In 2012, 75% of marketers plan to include mobile in their budgets. This is a smart move, as it’s predicted that by 2013, over 60 million North Americans will use smart phones. This means that finding new ways to interact with consumers on their phones will become more important to marketing.  (Source: 6S Marketing)
