case study â selling shipping containers online
Shipping containers, those huge metal boxes you sometimes see on cargo ships or trains, may not be the first product that comes to mind when you think about selling online.
Yet online, they sell, in vast quantities. Here's the story:
One of our clients, a large shipping-container manufacturer, was, of course, quite skeptical about what a website can do for a long-established company. After all, the company has over 20 years of experience. They were already well-known in their highly specific market. They just saw their “online brochure” as a good PR tool, an useful addition to their work with partners and customers.
But they trusted us and we did our job. A five-figure budget for an aggressive online campaign returned seven-figure contracts last year, and all from NEW clients we brought in exclusively online. Actually, the statistical breakdown for 2004 looks like this:
- Twenty-four thousand, four hundred and nineteen unique, highly targeted visitors from 136 countries
- One-hundred-and-fourteen thousand, three hundred and thirty hits on the webpages. That's more than four hits per visitor
- Seven-hundred and thirty-two new sale leads totalling perhaps over one billion in value. We can back up these figures
- Eleven closed deals and a few in ongoing negotiations, which account for seven-figure sales in US dollars.
So what did we do? We did all the web work, our way. The company was just answering many daily emails and phone calls. If you don't believe us, just ask them: http://www.contransimex.com/
We can do the same for you, whatever it is you sell. And if you are lucky, the results will be even more spectacular. Just try us — it's risk free!
