Website Services

Internet interactive marketing is a critical element that co-ops should use in addition to the direct mail and telemarketing of their traditional database marketing. There are a number of reasons why interactive Internet marketing is an excellent strategic fit for utilities:

Targets higher-end, technology-oriented customers
Interactive for one-to-one relationship marketing
Positions the co-op as technologically advanced
Fits with the co-op retailing concept
Links with online billing and service convenience technology

Website Services Invaluable to Lake Region Electric

"The services provided by Inside Information for developing our website were invaluable to me. Without their help and assistance we would not have the type of site that we have. They created the website for a fraction of the cost that some of our other bids were and did an excellent job."
