A Birmingham-based businesswoman and marketing expert has
launched a new marketing "dating agency" aimed at matchmaking
marketing professionals with companies seeking their services.
Best Marketing Quotes, launched today, offers companies looking
for marketing services a free, one-stop selection process to find
the right person or company for the job.
Marketing professionals and agencies can register with Best
Marketing Quotes and buy leads, enabling them to pitch for work
that suits their capabilities.
The new company - based in Brindleyplace, Birmingham - has been
launched by Birmingham businesswoman and web marketing consultant
Clare Mckee, who already runs two successful internet
consultancies. Clare, aged 45, believes companies are crying out
for a no-hassle way of recruiting the right marketing suppliers
without endless searches and recruitment processes. Best Marketing
Quotes will give them a manually selected shortlist of potential
suppliers matched for their capabilities and areas of
expertise.
"If a company is looking for a particular marketing service they
can consult the internet or directories and find so much choice it
ends up being no choice at all. Finding a supplier which precisely
matches their needs is not easy," said Clare Mckee.
She added, "At Best Marketing Quotes we pre-select a short list
of no more than four people who have been chosen because their
expertise matches the client's needs. In a busy world this saves a
huge amount of time and resource, and the service is completely
free."
Best Marketing Quotes covers a broad range of marketing
services, including internet marketing, market research, web
design, copywriting, advertising, public relations, exhibitions,
merchandise, promotions, point-of-sale materials, printing, direct
mail and event management. Service providers register with the
company and purchase leads when identified. These leads typically
cost £20 - £40 each.
Clare Mckee said, "Quite simply we bring clients and marketing
companies together, building a marketing community, members of
which can expect a high conversion rate because clients and
suppliers are carefully matched."
Clare Mckee, who has an MA IN Creative Media Practice, runs two
successful online internet marketing consultancies. Her background
is in marketing, sales, customer relationships and advertising for
a number of major companies.
