Strategic Planning

• Media Placement
• Graphic Design
• Web Site Development
• Copywriting and Editing

Problem: It’s exciting to launch a new Web site (or any product or service), but how do you sustain momentum, set goals and measure achievement? Too many agencies are great at providing razzle-dazzle creativity, but not so great at helping a client keep an eye on the bottom line.

Solution: Strategic planning, year after year after year. For example, Boscobel's most recent plan for ALX established metrics for 1) increased Web traffic, 2) increased strategic partner participation, and 3) increased ALX database holdings.

All three goals were achieved:

  1. Average monthly hits rose 44.7%.
  2. Outreach efforts yielded partnerships with SHRM, ASAE, and NAM
  3. The number of registered providers increased from 4,500 to more than 6,000, and the posted offerings increased from 200,000 to more than 500,000.

Now we hope to achieve similar success for America's Career Kit, the DOL umbrella program that includes ALX and three other employment-related sites. Stay tuned!
