Email Marketing
Still the most powerful way to reach your customers.
Email Marketing is the most effective way to reach out to your clients and customers. But there are many technical hurdles to overcome to make sure your emails aren’t caught in spam filters, garbled by the dozens of different email browsers, or never opened by your customers because of lack luster subject lines or hum-drum content.
Astek specializes in email marketing best practices, keeping up-to-date on the latest technology, trends in customer behaviors, CAN-SPAM law requirements and email marketing design. Astek will maximize your email marketing to reap every dollar of potential ROI.
We can provide you with as much assistance as you need, from full-service design/send to user-friendly Do-It-Yourself templates customized to match your existing marketing. All email services come with detailed reports as well as full access to Astek's collective expertise and best practices consulting.

The Astek Academy
Our team is very humble...
When it comes to technology, we believe that there's probably someone smarter at the party... but not many. It's what we do. We love technology, and love to teach people how to use it. Oh, and we like to make it fun because people don't pay for Power Point slides.
The Astek Academy has learning opportunities for a wide range of groups. We train non-professionals and folks new to technology through our Family Tech Camps. Our team also offers professionals and organizations very specific sessions on topics from LinkedIn to Search Engine Optimization.
We want you to walk out of each personal, hands-on program with Astek's homemade cookies and actual results.
Imagine, more smart and less hungry. That's what we call good education.
Find free tech tips, (good) humor and upcoming Academy sessions on our 'ePiphany' newsletter --> HERE!

SEO
Don't just get traffic, get the right kind of traffic
Google and other search engines are constantly evolving the formulas
used to determine search rankings. You need an expert on your side to
achieve and maintain high search positions. From content creation to
Search Engine Optimization, (SEO), and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising,
we can make search engine marketing work for you.
|
Social Media & Blogs
What are they saying about you?
You can’t control what gets said about you or your business on the web. Because of this, many companies avoid social media sites in attempt to keep themselves closed off from negative comments. But most likely, people are already talking about your business on social media sites, and that’s the best-case scenario. (Worst-case: no one is talking about you.) Joining the conversation is the only way you can hope to influence what others are saying about your business.
Social media & blogs present incredible opportunities for businesses to build their brand reputation and recognition. They also provide new tools to track the power and path of word-of-mouth marketing efforts.
With a well-researched strategy and a desire to provide real value to your customers, you can engage new and existing customers in a way that has never been possible before. But of course, not all of these sites and tools are right for every business.
Contact us to discuss a social media strategy that is right for your company.

Webany | Content Managed
With all the content management systems (CMS) out there, why did we set out to build a new one from the ground up? After working with clients across industries using our CMS for the past several years, we’ve learned first-hand what works and what doesn’t.
Equipped with this knowledge following an exhaustive search to see what’s out there, we created Webany, your hosted content companion.
Webany’s flexible database sets it apart by allowing you to store any type of structured web content with custom forms. Behind-the-scenes workflow consistently and easily enables your team to craft content in a standard browser without editing HTML code and share it through any custom web design or template.
Download our Webany Brochure or contact us for a demo to find out what makes Webany tick.

Websites
Our websites are pretty and smart.
We’ve assembled a “best of the best” team so your website can have it all: gorgeous, brand-focused designs, a user-friendly interface, search engine optimization and integrated, scalable content management.
Design = Form + Function
Our designers don’t pick some random “vision” for your site out of thin air. They start with an in-depth understanding of your company values, business goals and brand assets. Website designs are inspired by research of your industry and target markets and a strong understanding of current design trends and traditional aesthetics.
No matter how pretty your site is, you will not gain customers if it is hard to use. We use the latest technologies to ensure your site is not only easy to navigate, but such a pleasure to use that your customers will want to return again and again.
Search Engine Marketing
Google and other search engines are constantly evolving the formulas used to determine search rankings. You need an expert on your side to achieve and maintain high search positions. From content creation to Search Engine Optimization, (SEO), and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, we can make search engine marketing work for you.
Content Management
Fast, efficient and scalable to any sized site, Webany has your content managed. Our web-based content management system (CMS) allows you to update your site any time, from any computer with ease. Or let Astek handle your updates for you through a customizable web maintenance contract. Never miss a sale or loose a business opportunity over outdated website information again.
