b wilker & company

“Dealing with Ranseen Marketing and working with Tom was a pleasure as he was professional in every way. He kept our plans on track and did not waste time with superfluous things. It was amazing to me how quickly he learned the interactions of my business and was able to incorporate it into a web site. The end result was great, In the first couple weeks after our new website (which Tom developed with iDesign, another really excellent firm) went live, we used the photos of the interior design projects on our new site to show a prospect in Florida – which helped us get the job!”

We Make Tapes & Discs

"When I sat down late last year (2007) to assess how to approach the re-launch of my business' website, my first thought was that I could just work with a web design firm and do it myself. But after meeting with Tom Ranseen, I quickly realized that leveraging his experience and expertise would insure an effective, top-notch website and ultimately save me money. Tom was able to quickly understand my business model and, working with iDesign, translate that into a website that rivals any competitor in my industry. I have received many compliments on our new 'look', but the real fun is seeing the increased customer count and revenue as a result of the work that Tom coordinated for us. If you want a consummate professional to help you drive your business results, Tom Ranseen is your guy."

Jaros Guitars

“In the distant past there have been those rare occasions where some of my companions have floated the unsupportable notion that I can be prone to slight exaggeration. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to tell you that I believe that it is quite possible that Tom Ranseen and iDesign have created….The Greatest Web Site of All Time. Absolutely Awesome!”

Lumen Lamps

“In the Spring of 2002 I opened Lumen Lamps, a specialty shop offering better lamps and shades in Nashville, TN. Fortunately, the business took off and in a few years I began to think of ways to grow the business further. In late 2007 I decided to take the plunge and start offering our unique collection of table lamps nationwide, online, at www.lumenlamps.com. Ranseen Marketing, Smithware, and iDesign did an amazing job making lumenlamps.com a reality. Tom developed a great marketing strategy for the site and continues to steer our online marketing efforts very effectively. There is a great deal of discussion about the strength of the economy, and yet lamps continue to sell coast to coast as a result of lumenlamps.com. Ther future of my company is much brighter because of the website and because of Tom’s continued dedication to its success.”

INTEGRA Software Systems

“In September of 2002 INTEGRA decided that it was time to significantly upgrade its marketing approach—and start with our website—which at that point was a few years old and had not been maintained. We had less than six weeks before our largest tradeshow of the year, and wanted a completely new and substantially better site up by the time the show started in October. I wasn’t sure that was even possible. We turned to Ranseen Marketing, and they delivered.

Since then, Tom has handled our online and offline marketing on an outsourcing basis. In late 2006 we put up a completely new www.integra-online.com site that Tom planned for us again (and are currently doing some major enhancements again in 2008). Although it’s been a very challenging business environment over the past year since INTEGRA sells software to mortgage lenders, we’ve held our own…unlike dozens of vendors in our space. One key factor has been our commitment to marketing online via search engines, email newsletters, etc. If you want to get into marketing your business online and aren’t sure what to do next, you should think about working with Tom.”

Southeast Financial

"We had an OK website (before April 2006), but I knew that since 100% of our horse trailer, recreational trailer and RV loan business is generated online that we needed to move our site up a big notch. Scott Smith of Smithware built some very sophisticated technology to automate all of our behind-the-scenes business processes that start with a loan application online—and helped us eliminate a ton of time consuming manual processes – and continues to work with us. Tom Ranseen of Ranseen Marketing did an excellent job planning the new Southeast site, writing brand new content, and helping us maximize our search engine marketing results -- and he continues to handle our website content updates and search engine marketing in 2008. And iDesign gave the site a completely new, highly professional look. We have a great team that continues to help our business grow online...in spite of the issues with the current economy.”

Academy Looseleaf

"Three years ago we were long overdue for a complete web site overhaul. Ranseen Marketing did the planning, all content, and search engine marketing for our new www.academylooseleaf.com site. Our old site got hardly any visitors, much less helped us get any business. The new site went up in early 2005, and the results were immediate in generating dozens of quotes per week for our custom binders and packages. From virtually no revenues generated via web leads in 2005, two years later we made seven figures via our web and repeat web customers. We’ve made a big commitment to Google Adwords and Yahoo Search in particular, but it’s definitely been worth it. Tom Ranseen knows what he’s doing when it comes to websites and SEO, and he’s still working with us in 2008.”
