We were well aware we had to update our web presence. We had tried several methods and developers and finally asked Market Pipeline to present to us.

We were impressed with Market Pipeline's approach and specifically the way they built the web site to be compliant for disabled web users. Of course at Clock our primary audience is disabled and many of our customers surf the web and we felt it was critical to develop a web site that was usable by our primary audience. Market Pipeline was the only company that we found that emphasized that aspect of their services.

We also knew we needed a robust content management system that our personnel could easily update with new and used vehicles for sale. Market Pipeline also provided us with a system that our employees call, "SLICK".

Finally we understand much of our target market finds our products and services using the powerful search engines and we had to be well placed for our important keyword phrases.

Market Pipeline executed all the above and we would recommend them to others.

Regards,

Ron Mohr - General Manager

At Nelson Steel Products we have built our business on great service, great capabilities and word of mouth, but we knew we needed a quality presence on the web that represented our company accurately...and hopefully generated well-qualified leads for our business. We were then referred to Market Pipeline from one of our good customers.

We were more than pleased with Market Pipeline and their approach to web development and marketing. Market Pipeline gave us a great look that helps us market Nelson Steel Products to a much broader audience than was previously possible.

Market Pipeline continues to monitor our web site and make adjustments to make sure we are still at the top of the search engine pages for important keyword phrases.

Due to the recession, many businesses are just trying to get by from one day to the next. Since most local companies have to make it without help from any kind of stimulus package, it can be difficult just to make ends meet during this type of economic slowdown.

Sigma Machine, a local business based in Parchment, Michigan, was in the same boat - until recently, that is. This precision stainless steel machining company had successfully branched out their business to serve several different industries. However, the word of mouth advertising which it once thrived upon was failing to bring in new business during rougher economic times. Their current customers remained loyal due to fair pricing and superior engineered products; however, it was time to make a change to attract new customers.

Jim VanWeelden, the owner of Sigma Machine, made the important decision to expand the company's marketing strategy to a strong online presence. Working with Market pipeline, which one of his business partners had recommended, Jim was able to see his vision come to life on the internet. Soon, Sigma Machine had an impressive website which clearly explained the company's unique services and products. Furthermore, Market Pipeline made use of search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure that the Sigma Machine website would be easy to find on any search engine. Now, customers looking online for the types of services offered by Sigma Macine will come across the company's website in just a few mouse clicks.

Since Market Pipeline has implemented this online marketing plan, Sigma Machine's sales have increased to nearly five times what they were before the launch. Additionally, the company is planning to purchase more CNC milling machines to accommodate extra work orders while also hiring more skilled labor in the southwest Michigan area. In effect, Market Pipeline created a successful, customized stimulus package that has allowed Sigma Machine to not only get by during the recession, but grow to take on new customers and employees.
