Telemarketing
E-creation provides the framework for marketing. Actual telemarketing is managed or performed by the client themselves, as we do not provide telemarketing services. If required, we can recommend the servers of telemarketing agencies in the Bournemouth / Poole area but strongly advice the actual calls are made by key personnel within the business. Given the limited number of prospects within the geographic area, each call has to matter. With outside telemarketers, there is a risk of a focus on call volume rather than the importance of each call, no matter how much the agency ΓÇÿsellsΓÇÖ the service.
Feedback & refinement
During all stages of the design and development process, you will be provided with concepts for feedback and refinement. We understand that it is your business ΓÇô and your input is an essential part of ensuring we capture & communicate the heart & sole of the business.
