Client Testimonials
Global Marketing undertook a private sector development assignment in Swaziland. They were deployed by the Trade and private sector Development (TPSD) Facility at the request of the European Union Delegation in Mbabane in Swaziland. The project entailed facilitating the linking up between the Swaziland Chambers of Commerce, private sector representatives in Swaziland and the EU/Member States Chambers of Commerce in South Africa, with a view to facilitate private sector reform, and enrich the public/private sector dialogue on how to improve the business and investment environment in the country.
Global Marketing was commissioned to develop a marketing and business plan for our company. The Global Marketing team provided us with exceptional service and professionalism as well as brought with them extensive knowledge, experience and integrity all of which has provided us with the tools to facilitate our business to grow. I highly recommend Global Marketing.
Global Marketing was appointed to provide export mentoring to me and our staff at Warthog Knife Sharpeners. Their mentoring was of great value leading to an in depth understanding of export costing, pricing, marketing and technical aspects such as Incomterms. They assisted us to identify new export market opportunities in the USA and Canada.
Global Marketing facilitated the development of detailed marketing strategy and plan. Further a bankable business plan was developed and funding was secured through the IDC.
Global Marketing was appointed by GEP to develop a bankable business in order for the co-operative to access funding from the Department of Small Business through their Co-Operative Incentive Scheme. The co-operative received just under R400,000 in grant funding.
General Questions
The following are frequently asked questions.
Do I need a business plan?
The short answer to this is, yes. Instead of seeing a business plan as a chore, it’s an opportunity to lay out the way your business will grow over the years and gives insight into how your organisation is performing in the present, and how it can develop in the future. It’s also essential to show potential investors and partners the plans you have for growing and puts forward a much stronger case than words alone.
What goes into a business plan?
The best way to start a business plan is to open with an executive summary about the most important points of your business plan followed by a description of your company. From here, you can identify your target market and customer profile together with how you are currently reaching them. Follow this with an outline of your operations and how your business works on a day to day basis and conclude with a look at the current financial situation.
Why is a premium quality website so important?
The look and feel of a website, as well as its navigation and functionality is a direct reflection of your business. For this reason, a well-planned, carefully considered website design is imperative if you are wanting to really put your best foot forward online and engage more customers.
At Global Marketing, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so although we use website development platforms such as Joomla and Prestashop, we will design your website in a manner that complements your overall brand identity and which appeals to your particular target audience.
Our marketing team and website designers will work closely with you to ensure that we produce a website design that you will be proud of and that your customers will flock to.
How long does it take to design and build a website?
The time that it will take us to design your website and deliver the finished product to you, depends on the size and complexity of the site. While simple information based websites are fairly quick to produce (two to four weeks), larger, more complex websites, such as eCommerce websites will take longer. Incorporating solid website testing, especially in the case of eCommerce websites is vital and this testing can take a few days when it comes to more complex websites. When we provide you with our quotation, we will also provide you with a timeframe for completion.
