Industrial Images - Our view of the Internet

We believe that the Internet is the most exciting and useful creation since the invention of the telephone and the computer. We're convinced that an Internet web site will rapidly become an integral part of most any company's inventory of indispensable business tools. While the Internet utilizes the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, a web site is primarily a marketing tool, designed to both deliver your story to your customers and provide them the opportunity to respond.

With a web site, the power of your marketing message increases exponentially. No other media lets you tell as much of your story as you want, in full color text and graphics, to a worldwide audience, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Additions, changes, or deletions are taken care of as they occur. You never run out of Internet "literature" or order too much, or have to dispose of it because of outdated material! Many of the usual constraints, such as production time, geographic limits, publication size and high costs disappear or diminish greatly.

In broadcast or mass distribution types of media, the marketer's message is put in front of the customer unsolicited in the hope that the customer will respond. On the Internet, the customer is the active party who makes the effort to seek out the web site. Therefore, the publisher of the web site can reasonably assume a higher level of interest on the part of the prospect.

As with any part of the marketing mix, the important question that must be answered over time is: Does this make money for us? The answer lies in the proper execution - and that's where Industrial Images can help!

Industrial Images - Why choose us?

Are You Busy?
Of course! We created our business based on the idea that our clients are busy people. That's why we take care of producing your web site while you take care of running your business.

C X 3...
Content - First and foremost, we consider ourselves to be content providers. Substance over style - the message is more important than the medium. Your web site will be a purposeful, well executed, focused message to your customers.

Context - Your web site needs to be designed and executed in context of your goals, your budget, and your marketing plans and methods. Most of all, it must be in context of the expectations of your customers.

Customer - The reason we're all in business! We provide extensive customer service to you, ensuring your satisfaction with the design, the functionality, and the results you get from your site. More importantly, your customers will find your web site to be a professionally produced, useful and enjoyable place that they'll want to visit again and again.

Expertise...
"Stick to the knitting." As a special purpose company, we are able to help our client base because we only work in industries we understand. This level of expertise enables our clients to spend less time educating us about their specific needs.

Experience...
Having helped companies with their print media marketing since 1985, we understand both the strengths and limitations of electronic publishing. We believe that the most important part of publishing on the web is... PUBLISHING - and that's what we do best.

Industrial Images - Your investment

Cost...
Low publication cost is perhaps the biggest advantage of the Internet. There are no paper costs, no postage costs, no mailing lists to maintain or print. When you compare the annual cost of your web site to other advertising media, such as yellow pages or newspaper, the difference is staggering. Considering the millions of people worldwide who have access to the Internet, cost per exposure is extremely low.

Our pricing structure is designed to allow you to establish a web site quite economically. We believe so strongly in the long term power and benefits of the Internet that we are willing to establish your basic web site for a minimal setup charge and monthly service fee. As your site begins to produce interest, you can add pages at any time for an additional charge. We don't tie you up with long term commitments or contracts.

The bottom line is this... it's results that count and we'll do whatever it takes for you to be completely satisfied with the design and functionality of your web site.
