Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
The Internet has always been a passion for me. I can remember the day I heard about this new company called Google and how they were going to revolutionize how marketing would be managed in the future. Never imagined we could have come this far. MarkITtrends officially launched in 2011.
What is your primary product or service?
Local online marketing services that help local small businesses connect with the mobile consumer online.
Our primary company goal is to offer value to small local businesses by helping them understand the Why, What, and How of the Internet and why it will play a major part in the future of all businesses.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Working in the printing and publishing industry, exposed me to many technological advancements as they happened. Always having had a curiosity about how things work, combined with my comfort in dealing with business people, at all levels, naturally led me into the online marketing field.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Most businesses in our field have a tremendous amount of value to offer any business owner willing to listen. The key, from our perspective, is to listen, learn and provide the answers specific to the clients need, all at a price and time frame that works for their unique situation.
What doesn't work is a one-size-fits all marketing program. We see too many businesses spendig money on programs that offer little value and provide an even smaller return on their investment. Worse yet, when asked, most business owners have no idea what they are even paying for. We think that is unacceptable, but is only our opinion.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
One. We are centrally located within Lancaster County. The majority of accounts we manage are from Southeastern Pa. Expansion is a natural outcrop of the demand for online marketing education and services. Our goal is to help as many small businesses as possible without jeapardizing the local feel and face to face contact we consistently provide to each and every client.
Provide detailed directions to your location
We provide on location meetings, seminars and small group discussions.
What type of payments do you accept?
Most majoy forms. Cash, check, credit cards. We make payment arrangements available as well understanding how cash flow is king.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Mark Kessler is the Founder
What are your hours of operation?
M-F 7a.m. - 6 p.m., Sat.-8-noon and Closed Sunday
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
"You have made a difference" in my life or business...
This compliment was made to me at an early age by a friend. Ever since, I have strived to somehow make an difference in every life I touch, whether it's helping them learn something new, build more confidence, or providing a needed smile.
