Web Sites, Internet Marketing, and Social Media

(Your MOST important marketing today!)

Marketing Portland partners with clients to LEVERAGE Social Media and Internet Marketing ... to build MORE BUSINESS!Marketing Portland was created from a desire to see Portland, Oregon, businesses thrive in the dynamic internet marketing environment. It's tough keeping pace with changes in the best practices of the online marketing world. As internet marketing consultants, we're committed to helping fellow PDX community businesses continually stay ahead of these trends and changes; the more we help Portland and its businesses, the better our local economy remains.

Statistics show that nearly ALL consumers (young and old!) are using online searches to find products and services they're interested in. Yellow Page ads and untargeted direct mail marketing techniques have become outdated and simply can no longer drive business through your doors like they did in the past.

It used to be that these larger media (including radio, television, and newspapers) dominated the marketing scene. Now they're relegated to low-performing business generators as compared with thriving Internet marketing sources such as web sites, Facebook, Youtube, and Google (reaching upwards of a billion potential clients combined!).

By applying our internet marketing expertise, and leveraging the power of social media, we're able to "put you on the map" and keep you there in a profound (and really FUN!) way. We know your time is valuable, and we're here to save you time and make sure you're found.
