SmarTek is an e-commerce company and consultancy. We originally provided Internet and networking services
to businesses. Since 2001, we have been focusing the majority of our attention on in-house projects and entities owned by us. We still have a small client list and provide services for
them, but to make sure the proper attention is given to our business as a whole, we limit our activities in a manner that fits the needs of all of our customers. We have always been successful looking for a proper fit instead of taking any and every job.
We are great at creating online businesses that deliver excellent ROI and minimize risk. We have learned to use technology to centralize management
operations to maximize the use of our time. Where possible, we use web-based software to allow access to the tools that run our businesses anywhere. We make use of VOIP, advanced call
routing, and analog phone system technologies that assist in our goal of being location independent and to easily manage growth. We actively encourage telecommuting whenever possible.
The needs of the company dictate our business, not the location of the opportunity nor the location of the people involved.
As we have grown, we've discovered the use for accurate tracking mechanisms in marketing programs. This must be implemented separate to those included by the vendor.
The "shotgun" approach may work for some, but a $50,000 web campaign is a big risk to take. We choose to start small, and measure the successes. Instead of optimizing after a month, we
optimize after a few days. Instead of trying everything at once, we apply a staged rollout over a year. This helps us not only by identifying what works, it accelerates the break-even point for
the business. This and strong financial management is key to the success of any business, and is absolutely crucial in new ones.
