“I think with time, we’ll eventually be working out of great gaming graphics warehouses and selling by online websites,” said Isobel Coulibaly, Director of technology for Vergie Nabarrete Corp.
“When we added a website and shopping cart system, our numbers went through the roof,” cried Shaheed Spingola, Sales Director for Geisel Truslow Corp, a great gaming graphics manufacturing company, “this, teamed with high positioning in the major search engines really created a whole new market for us that was never expected.” “After starting an internet great gaming graphics sales division in 2003, we saw our sales increase three-fold,” said Clementina Shawn, director of marketing and sales for Milone Lazarczyk and Cirone Tutwiler Associates, “and this resulted in the creation of more jobs and employment opportunities in our company. Our number of employees has doubled, and our number of IT staff has quadrupled in a year’s time.” Looking to the future, many great gaming graphics companies may opt to be based entirely online. This minimizes human capital and budget requirements, and can drive a more efficient business model. Barnett Chrismer CEO of a local great gaming graphics company, has already pledged to do this, with a major shift in the business planned in the next 6 months. “I forsee us going entirely online,” said Barnett Chrismer, “because people hardly come to our stores in person anymore. As a result, why should we keep these facilities open if we can do just as well online’” “With internet great gaming graphics sales booming, we may have to cut back on in person sales teams,” said Marylou Manecke, director of Human Resources for Hark Reimers INC, “mainly because we are losing money in that operational area. As we move forward, we’ll give those employees new job opportunities in our great gaming graphics company before we actually lay them off, so that they can continue to grow with our company if they so desire.” Hark Reimers isn’t alone with these new ideas. Neoma Bristol, who manages one person company, believes the internet marketing boom has created a huge market for small time business owners. “For the first few years of my career,” said Romelia Bocci, “I was working 9 to 5 at a marketing firm, doing the typical corporate thing. Now, however, I have my own website, production center, and payment processing. This allows me to work from home under my own rules and with unlimited income potential.” It’s no secret that the internet is a driving force in the great gaming graphics sales market. Most consumers will research their purchases online before actually going to a store, so that they understand great gaming graphics product specs and use requirements before having to deal with a live salesperson. “I prefer to take my time and read about it all online first,” said Marugg Casparian, a recent customer of the Hipkins Cuti Chain Outlets, “I’m not a high pressure sales type, and rather just go to the store and check out sas soon as possible.” Equally important in the online sales arena is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is reselling your great gaming graphics product through individual webmasters and their websites, giving them typically 5 to 20 % for each successful sales. This form of marketing is purely results driven, and it requires only a small investment on behalf of the company running the affiliate program. “We rely on affiliate marketing to drive our great gaming graphics sales and lead acquisition, mostly because some webmasters in our field are better at marketing online than we are,” said Hammen Deblieck, Marketing Chairman for Wieser Jellison Partners LLC. Without a doubt, in the pre-internet marketing days, most great gaming graphics resellers only used the internet as a means to communicate via email with current customers. “Things in the industry really turned a corner when people began to acquire, not maintain customers online,” said Weld Svedin, a noted internet marketer and web designer. “When acquisiton via online services got big, companies in the great gaming graphics sector finally woke up to the idea that the information super highway was here to stay - in a very big way.”
