I tried to sell my own retail store, initially on my own, as well as through a broker who was clearly lacking in experience to even attract a single, qualified buyer. I feel like I wasted 2 years of my time before I was very fortunately referred to Skip. He completely understood the process starting with a professional, business valuation. He spent a great deal of time speaking with my property landlord to determine the years left on the lease as well as options for re-negotiating the monthly lease payment, extending the term and even securing 2, additional lease options. He very astutely handled all of the details, including pre-qualifying all potential buyers in advance, so as not to waste our time, and I couldn't be more satisfied because my business was sold shortly thereafter. His team and him make the process simple, guide you every step of the way and you are assured of very professional & courteous expertise. Thank you for a job well done to Skip and his consultants!
To say the least, I was amazed at the number of compliments I have received on my new website, as well as the tremendous increase in customer contacts and traffic that our shop has received. When I last met with Skip, he showed me that we had attracted 385 "unique"(first-time) visitors to our website, 473 customer visits, 821 page views and these visitors spent 8 hours and 57 minutes reviewing the information on my website during just the past month!
Skip's knowledge of computer engineering, marketing and driving customer traffic to our business is nothing short of amazing. If you are looking for a true expert in helping you to grow your business, I can't suggest anyone more highly than Donna, Skip and the amazing, independent consulting staff associated with Land And Sea Consulting, LLC. You won't be disappointed with the results that you will achieve. My business is now doing better than ever thanks to their 44 years of business and IT consulting experience.
Donna and Skip are the type of business mentors that every business owner needs because we work together as teammates, and we have been treated like family. As a Retired US Navy Seal Veteran, I appreciate Skip's military family background with Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy patriotic service to our country spanning back in time to the Civil War. You can see this military background immediately because Skip is an extremely intelligent, passionate communicator with tremendous manners and respect. We meet repeatedly to make sure that we are partnering together as effectively as possible, and I consider Skip to be a very trusted friend because he always puts OUR needs first. As a recent update, Skip helped me to produce a professional video for my shop, it looks absolutely amazing and the customer compliments and additional, customer traffic have all been very much appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you for your tremendous work in helping our bakery to dramatically improve and modernize our website, along with your amazing computer engineering skills which have been driving endless customers to us. Your efforts Skip have resulted in our getting more than 2,000-3,000 "unique"(first-time visitors) to come to our website every month. We just enjoyed the strongest holiday sales in the entire history of our company due to your efforts. Our business' sales were slower than normal, before we started to work with you, and we are now doing better than ever. I was truly impressed with what we got for our money in working with someone as knowledgeable as you are. Your efforts and knowledge Skip are most sincerely appreciated!
Our retail store was in a seasonal downturn with lower, customer sales activity. Donna with Land And Sea turned our business situation around super fast with a text message marketing campaign that brought us far more customer traffic on days and times when our business was slower. We also use this technology to schedule and confirm appointments with our customers. The appointment reminder app is wonderful because it eliminates the no shows that we seemed to constantly experience before.
She worked with me, every step of the way, to show me how with simple, customer promotional messages that I was able to attract the attention and business of many new customers to my stores. No more slowdown in business for me because we are shooting to the stars now!
Thank you so much for such a great experience. Through your education Skip, you opened our eyes to the top 11 Search Engines so that we would no longer be financially gouged by relying solely on Google. We were paying them $10,000 per month for absolutely nothing. You showed us how we could reach across all of the Search Engines (besides Google), with Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Ask.com, Ecosia, AOL.com and Internet Archive. We are in shock and awe of your knowledge while using key words to drive traffic to us without the ridiculous price tag of ads and pay per click strategies. Wow, has our business ever grown with all of these new, customer search tools that you have very patiently explained and integrated into the modernized website that you diligently built for us. We are on point for the best year in the history of our company thanks to you!
I am very appreciative of Donna and Skip with Land And Sea's expertise in building an online, menu ordering and payment system for my restaurant. I was getting crushed by the ridiculous fees that I was paying to Doordash, Grubhub and Uber Eats. The fact is that I was working to enrich them with very little left over every month for my family and me.
I am happy with the tremendous increase in my sales, and even when my restaurants are closed, new orders are rolling in each and every day. It certainly is a wonderful way to wake up each morning. What a pleasure it has been working with Donna and Skip. They made this process simple, easy to understand and with their assistance, our revenues have skyrocketed while operating at a fraction of the former fees that we were wasting.
They are an amazing group of consultants who listen, explain effective strategies and then implement them all very successfully. If you want to be treated as a team player, and supported like extended family members, they should be your go to for effective marketing strategies... that actually work and they can prove it !
Our website was totally outdated with poor graphics and imaging, and lacked mobile, radius marketing, search engine optimization (SEO) and data security engineering with no chat features. To my shock, the SEO that I had been wasting money on for many years, with someone else who said he knew what he was doing and it clearly wasn't done properly, wasn't bringing in any new customers. In fact, Skip confirmed that we weren't actually connected to even one search engine and our website was never secured.
He exposed the endless lies that we were told for many years, and he improved our Ford Model T technology(worthless) into state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology and the peace of mind of broad spectrum data security. He has been doing consulting for 44 years, and that knowledge and wisdom shine through immediately. Besides being a super nice guy, and very trustworthy, he is very compassionate and passionate as he explains everything in layman's terms without all of the jargon so that I understand everything.
Thanks to Skip with Land And Sea for creating an affordable, custom-built website for us that is fully integrated with audio, a professional photo gallery, our social media, videos and most importantly Key Words, Radius Marketing and SEO that is real and actually works. Skip connected us to all 11 of the major search engines, and he added hundreds of keywords to attract new customers to us. We have had a remarkable increase in new customer calls, e-mails and visits, and we couldn't be happier with their services. As Skip always says, “work smart and not so hard”. We are crushing it with killer results!
Thank you so much Donna & Skip for such a great experience in working with both of you. Your very patient and professional knowledge has been truly appreciated, and we are delighted with Land And Sea's services.
They not only enhanced our business image with targeted branding, including custom logos that they designed just for us, but also for the incredible increase in customer traffic that we experienced. For the money, you can't go wrong working with them. We wasted a lot of money working with Google believing that they would improve our search results with little to no improvement. To our shock, Google was actually suppressing our search results because we weren't willing to pay(extortion) their outrageous fees of thousands per month.
We recommend Land And Sea to absolutely every business owner that we know because their experience and knowledge is amazing, and most importantly they will get you results. They are honest, trustworthy and transparent with their services, and all changes that we request are made immediately.
No more calls to out-of-state firms or overseas call centers that believe that endless voicemail prompts are the way to do business. Place your trust in local experts who pride themselves on their rapid, support services and they monitor everything vigilantly all the while treating you like family!
