Top 5 Websites that Boost Agency Service Offerings
In this economy, it’s more important than ever for agencies to sharpen their business skills and acquire the resources needed in order to give their clients a complete marketing package.
Below is a list of some of the best websites that specialize in niche services that can help round out any agency’s solutions offerings:
• Professional Voiceovers
Voice123.com lets agencies scout voice talent for free. Post the job and budget, and talent will audition and compete for the project. Use this service to present at least 10 different voiceovers to a client in less than 24 hours.
• Logo Design
Avoid paying for each logo mockup by posting a contest on 99designs.com. Post the project specifications and prize amount, and designers will submit their mockups. Show these to the client, and only pay the submitter of the winning design.
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Clients always want to rank first for relevant keywords in Google. Don’t take on this tedious gruntwork alone—outsource it to Number1Ranking.net. Get monthly reports to pass on to the client detailing how their rankings improve per keyword.
• Web Forms
If a client wants to simply collect information on the web, there’s no easier way to do it than Wufoo.com. This plug-n-play form builder is easy to use, even for those who are not so tech savvy.
Just knowing where to look on the web for resources is the biggest hurdle. Having these secret weapons in an agency’s resource arsenal will allow it to offer its clients the solutions they want quickly and with less cost.
