    A Strategic Marketing Partnership

    “The talented team and leadership at Marketing Essentials enabled us to quickly pivot from our conventional, face-to-face sales interaction and print media advertising to a digital-focused, online promotion, virtual sales environment. Their help in leveraging our existing sales and marketing tools resulted in our rapid adaptation to a disrupted market condition. The results speak for themselves: increased web traffic, shorter order cycles, more leads and more orders … better results in a receding market situation.” - OTC DAIHEN, Inc.

    New Modern Website Reflects Growth of Steel Supplier

    Scott Steel, a second-generation family-owned steel service center, was experiencing tremendous growth, including opening a new facility. The company’s website was dated in design and did not reflect their current offerings. They turned to Marketing Essentials to strategize, design, build and write the content for a new, modern website that accurately portrayed them as a leading steel supplier. The website was also built with employee recruitment in mind to help attract qualified candidates.
