I approached TargetMarket in 2012 with the project of creating a website for my graphic novel, Dawn Patrol, which I'd been working on for many years. The challenge was in that each page was not a digital drawing like many comics and graphic novels, but each page is a hand drawn, highly detailed pencil art, with each chapter being nearly 40 pages in length. TargetMarket's web designers were able to figure a way to display the story in the way I was envisioning, to give the viewer the feel of reading a book while flipping through online pages. The designers were able to come up with backgrounds and graphics that perfectly complimented the look I was hoping for on the main page, and the final product was even better than I'd imagined it would be. TargetMarket also guided me through the trademarking process and assisted with legal verbiage for intellectual property rights as well. Several years later, the method of online viewers had changed and while in 2012 most people were still laptop based, in 2018 most people were tablet and device based, and our desktop-laptop friendly site needed some updating to keep up with changing viewer technology. TargetMarket was able to rework the site to be fully viewable on a device/tablet while keeping the look and theme of the site the same as the original. Now my story is viewable to more audiences and it has opened up more viewers through the website link on Instagram. Overall I am very happy with TargetMarket and am looking forward to working with them in the future. May 17, 2018

Pros:

  • The team at Target Market is extremely responsive and genuinely care about the quality of the work they deliver to their clients.
  • Their availability and answers to questions honestly.
  • TargetMarket was able to find innovative solutions for the challenges I gave them. Most of their business is on the corporate side, and my project is an online graphic novel. I liked the good communication during the design phase with each element of the main page and sub pages.
  • It was a very smooth process. We had hiccups along the way (due to me not proving info timely), but they handled it all professionally.

Cons:

  • I have trouble thinking of a negative experience I've had with anyone at Target Market. For wearing so many different hats, Target Market is consistent in their deliver of great work and the timeliness in which they get it done is comforting.
  • Sometimes the dogs are loose and roaming around in the conference area.
  • SEO efforts took longer to kick in than I expected, but they ultimately did produce the results we expected.
  • I had no negative experiences with the Company at all. They were always very helpful and innovative with their solutions to any challenges that arose along the way.

Pros:
To sum it up, the staff at Target Market "gets it." They understand that websites are the lifeblood of many businesses and they treat every part of the process with that in mind. Whether it is managing a previous website designed by another web developer, designing new sites from scratch, or creating and implementing an ecommerce campaign, the response to help meet our needs has been outstanding, When short term turnaround has been needed to deal with an immediate crisis, they are on it. When longer term design and creativity has been called for, they are committed to providing the "wow" factor. And they're not only good professionals, they're good people.
Cons:
At times, don't like having to ask the team to respond at unreasonable times and under adverse circumstances. That can be quite demanding. But again, the Target Market team gets it and does everything they can to address sudden needs as quickly as possible.

Pros:
Extremely committed to helping us customize our site to our needs and wants. Fast turnaround on maintenance requests or changes. Friendly, caring service from William, our account manager.
Cons:
Creation process was a little slow, since we were learning what new things we wanted and the team was dealing with someone else's template. With more upfront suggestions on how to make it fresher, graphically speaking, I might have paid up for a custom site. But I was a little scared to do this, since I didn't see the type of 'new-age' site I was looking for in their online portfolio. And had little time to brainstorm. Plus, I had a very tight budget. Recommendation: a call from someone once a quarter to see how things are going would be nice.

Overall Experience: The entire team couldn't have been nicer or more responsive. They always respond to requests in 24 hours. The next time I do a site (and have the funds) I would consider moving to one they design from soup to nuts -- although my current site, which they maintain, suits my needs for the time being. And was very well customized !

Overall Experience: TargetMarket has been an exceptional partner for us. They have produced several video projects for us that have been affordable and exceeded our expectations. The team at TargetMarket makes production easy and helps create a great final product. Recently, a video created by TargetMarket helped us increase our sales by over 40% in the first month. We rely on the team at TargetMarket for our video production and I would highly recommend them to others.

Pros:
TargetMarket went above and beyond to become certified in the content management system required by our global corporate office for both our website and mobile app. Because of their responsiveness, professionalism and quality of work, we also chose them to manage our search engine optimization. Additionally, their geographic proximity to our location has been a valued benefit.
Cons:
While each member of the TargetMarket team is easily accessible and responsive, a single point of contact like a dedicated account manager would have been beneficial in some instances.

Overall Experience: Our overall experience working with TargetMarket has been extremely positive. They have been a trusted partner/vendor for more than three years and have helped us complete multiple projects--often ahead of schedule and under budget. The entire team is quick to respond to our needs and are accommodating of our deadlines. We have received a high level of customer service that we don't believe we would have received with a larger, corporate digital marketing agency.

Pros:
One of the things that really impressed us about TargetMarket's approach was that they took the time to sit down and truly listened to what we wanted. Not a cookie cutter approach at all.
Cons:
Since my firm is based in Orlando and TargetMarket is based in South Carolina, we had initial reservations about the distance between companies. They turned out to be a non-issue with the use of video conferences and screen shares.

Overall Experience: My experience with TargetMarket was fantastic. My wealth management firm was in desperate need of refining our SEO and needed a complete overhaul of our AdWords campaign. The team over at TargetMarket took the time that was needed to listen to what we were trying to accomplish, came up with a game plan and helped us implement it. From start to finish they made the process as seamless as possible. We've only been live for several months with their updates and changes and are already seeing a higher rate of success compared to our older campaigns. Thanks again to the whole TargetMarket team. You all are awesome.

I'm impressed with their professionalism. Some web coders I've dealt with are one-person fly-by-night sources that may or may not be there the next time you call. These guys are the real deal - highly qualified and reliable.

Overall Experience: I have dealt with TargetMarket for many years, and have come to rely on them for consistent quality service and up-to-date expertise. They represent themselves well in meetings – always prepared and knowledgeable. And they are just as savvy behind the scenes. In an industry plagued with fly-by-night operations, and often managed by kids to young yet know how to act professionally, these guys are a breath of fresh air. This is a business to them, not a hobby or part time endeavor. And they are very good at what they do. They've never let me down, and always make me look good with clients.

Pros:
From the beginning of the process, TargetMarket understood the demographic of our customers and was able to design a website that conveyed our message. We began running a pay per click campaign immediately after launch and were inundated with requests for services.
Cons:
The amount of traffic we received following the launch of the website (thru paid advertising) was overwhelming so we did need to pull in the reigns a bit in order to be able to service all of the requests. At the time, it was a good problem to have!

Pros:
We liked working with another local business to get the exact product we had in mind for The Icehouse Restaurant. They listened to our needs and designed a website that fit our business' unique theme. The site itself is clean, inviting & honestly just beautiful. They chose a platform that is user friendly and easy to update daily for our Managers. The employees at Target Market are always available to answer any questions we may have.
Cons:
What we like least, is that we waited so long to have a website designed for us!
