SpeadMark

Based in a conference center office on Beaufont Springs Drive in Richmond, Virginia, SpeadMark is a small marketing team, sized between one and ten people, that works with businesses looking to build out digital marketing efforts alongside more traditional channels. Its service list spans search engine optimization, email marketing, branding, market research and pay-per-click, and the company also offers fractional CMO support, multimedia and offline marketing, social media, and responsive website design. The email marketing material on its site is written for owners who have started a campaign before but abandoned it due to the time commitment, suggesting a client base of businesses that want ongoing digital communication without managing it in-house, including ecommerce operators. On the email side, SpeadMark describes setting up automation systems and customizing marketing emails so that businesses can maintain contact with customers without dedicating ongoing staff time to the task. Described use cases include welcome emails triggered by newsletter sign-ups, post-purchase follow-ups with coupon offers and suggested purchases for ecommerce clients, and cart-abandonment emails aimed at recovering sales that might otherwise be lost. The stated goal of this automation work is to help convert website visitors and leads into customers and repeat buyers by reaching them at points in the sales cycle when they have already shown interest. Beyond email, the broader service menu covers SEO and paid search, branding, and market research, positioning the agency to handle multiple pieces of a client's marketing program rather than a single channel in isolation.
