Knowledgeable, Professional and Fun!
We have worked with Westward Strategy since the inception of our online distribution business. We were initially impressed with the long term plan Chris Gandolfo developed. It laid out, clearly and concisely, how Westward Strategies planned to optimize our site and promote our company through links, press media, and online advertising. This helped us develop our online marketing plans, budgets, and expectations. Since the onset of our relationship they have exceeded our expectations, maintained excellent communications, and helped our business grow. Not only are they knowledgeable and professional, but they are enthusiastic and fun to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking to increase their online presence.

Successful Nevada Website Design with a Budget in Mind
Westward Strategy did a phenominal job on our website at a very reasonable price. Kristy Crabtree and her team took down our ideas of what we were trying to accomplish and came up with a site that fit the needs of our store. Our store is very unique, and Kristy had to learn the basics of our store to be able to design the website. She explained time frames and was well within time estimates she gave us. She had the preliminary website designed faster than we expected. Training and managing our own website was also very important to our company. She came and taught us how to update and manage our own site. Should we have any questions, she and her team are very easy to contact and calls are returned promptly. Since going live we have been shocked at how many “website visitors” we are getting per week. In these poor economic times, we feel that having put the website up has helped increase our customer base. We would recommend Westward Strategy to any company wanting to expand their business through the Internet!

Strategically on Target with Our Marketing Initiatives
Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with Kristy Crabtree and her team as we’ve worked to launch a dual platform media venture. She has proven to be creative, reliable, unbelievably hardworking and has integrated herself so well into our operation that she truly acts as one of our in-house team. Her work on various marketing initiatives including campaigns for Mother and Father’s Day have been strategically on target and executed beautifully. Kristy’s work on our micro-sites, regular e-mails to our customers, banner ads and follow-up analysis has been instrumental in our efforts to drive sales and brand awareness. In addition her strong work ethic and excellent deliverables, she is a joy to work. I recommend her highly.

A Rare Talent
My expectations when working with others in related fields are excellence in both talent and work ethic, productivity, promptness, a conscientous regard for budgets without compromising quality of work, innovative thinking, and a positive approach to problem solving. Kristy embodies all of those traits in her work and her standards. I have involved Kristy in projects for Dayton Valley Turf, UPS Stores, Cardinal Law Office, The Gold ‘N Silver Inn, and am about to embark on another for Pizza Plus. Kristy has consistently brought added value to my own marketing consulting business, and I remain grateful to have included her on my team. She’s a rare talent, a dedicated professional, and simply a great person with whom to work. Hire her!

It’s Been An Outstounding Year
Kristy and her team have been able to bring real value to our online presence through our Google Adwords campaigns. We’re having an outstanding year and part of that is due to the sales our website is bringing in. They back up all their work with stats that are important to us and provide actual deadlines, so we know exactly what they are doing and when.

My Business is Thriving!
I knew I wanted to start a Bachelorette & Bachelor Party planning business and I knew in order to be taken seriously by potential clients, I needed a clean and professional looking website, but was on a budget. I was refered to Kristy by a friend at Cube Services, who is also a client of hers. When I first met Kristy, she wowed my pants off! She wastes no time telling you how to write web copy ensuring it will come up once you are googled. She also recommended I add a Why Reno-Tahoe page to help drive traffic to my site and showed me how to find my own photos. Hands down, she made my life easy and my small business is thriving because my website is that nice! Kristy Crabtree is the real deal!

Why I Waited Three Years to get a Website is Beyond Me
So far we have had five people request fulfillment quotes, and two of those are now new customers. They have all commented that the site looks great! I want to push ahead on the web further. Thank you again!! Why I waited three years to get a proper site up is beyond me.
