Increased the web presence of Sound Exposure as a dedicated provider of professional audio equipment. A company whose customer focus and loyalty is a primary goal. Visit the website at www.soundexposure.com for a refreshing view of how professional audio can be sold.Initially focused on the social media areas of web commerce, with attention to the customer's perception and awareness of the company brand. Established and sustained an engaging Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google+ presence (blend of product information, promotion and audio related trivia). Advised on SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) techniques for website content and construction. Deployed and maintained targeted web advertising through the use of Google Adwords (PPC). Researched and advised on the implementation of a Google Shopping feed generated from the website metadata, historically resulting in a greater number of cost-free non-Adword generated sales. Generated a steady flow of customer shopping reviews via a precisely tuned post-sale email request dispatched to each customer. Regular site performance reviews conducted through the use of Google Analytics.As an SME many elements of the day to day administration of the business were addressed personally and after a number of months the company's sales process was undertaken as a primary role. Within this role particular attention was focused on management of client relations (such as customer's overall sales process experience, customer retention, complaint resolution and communication). Observing a need within our portfolio of services I developed and presented onsite customer training programmes, introducing audio novices to the operational working practices necessary to run a successful live event.Sound Exposure social media feeds:Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/soundexposedFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/SoundExposurePinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/soundexposure/Google+: https://plus.google.com/+Soundexposure/posts
