Every industry analyst predicts 2008 will be the year online ad spending finally surpasses radio. This week’s guest columnist, TruePresence of Baltimore Area President, Jeff Spokes, shares side of the story.
“I’m Shifting My Budget to the Internet”
I was the Sales Manager for the number one billing radio station in Baltimore. And all my clients kept saying was how effective they could be with the Internet. How they could specify what they pay to get a lead and how they could monitor the effectiveness of their advertising. I had to make a change.
How do I get into the Internet?
I was on the lookout for an opportunity to help my clients realize the power of the Internet and at the same time start my own business. I found both when I ran across a person who was going to be the Chief Operating Officer of TruePresence.
He told me about how it was a National Internet Marketing Company with locally-owned offices. I had to do this.
Since I opened my office in August of 2006, it’s been a great experience learning the quick-paced Internet marketing world. I can help my customers be successful on the Internet. TruePresence does all the work and I look like a hero. People are starting to say – “Jeff, the web guy” now. And my goal is to have an office full of people who are helping local businesses find success on the web. I’m looking forward to helping you grow your business.
