APCO Incorporated, a Lansing, Michigan
based HVAC, plumbing and MRO supplies distributor, had
been operating an online retail site selling water, air
and humidifier filters since 2000. Business had begun
well enough when they launched the site but had reached
a plateau and was beginning to deteriorate as competition
had increased online.
Fahrenheit developed an entirely new site and implemented "Search
Engine Optimization" and targeted "Search Engine
Marketing" techniques to help put Filters-For-Home
on the forefront in online retailing. In just nine months
of operation, sales significantly exceeded the prior
year with a growth rate on pace to double or triple sales.
"We have determined the market potential to be four
to six times APCO's previous sales rate," states
Dennis Green, Fahrenheit's Creative Director. "There
is always more that can be done to ramp up sales in the
online space and we intend to maximize APCO's return
on this investment."
"Fahrenheit recognized that our site, which was
state-of-the-art when we launched it, had been antiquated
by the rapid developments in online retailing," states
Mike Nussdorfer, APCO's CEO. "We struggled with
the thought of having to launch a completely new site,
but trusted Fahrenheit to help us meet our goals. From
site build-out, to identifying a platform that would
interface with our existing system, to driving business
to the site, Fahrenheit has been exceedingly helpful
and diligent."
