Rave Reviews from Our Clients

Productive Day 
 

"Before I was introduced to Michelle Salater, owner of Sumer, I was contemplating what I should do about the marketing campaign for my upcoming Taskology™ Boot Camp. Even though I had done this training for my private corporate clients, it was the first of its kind that I had ever marketed to my entire list. While I had already written the sales page for the Boot Camp and several auto responders for the series, I knew I couldn’t finish in time for my targeted event start date.

So it was with great joy and relief that I spoke with Michelle for the first time – I knew I’d found the answer. Hiring Sumer was an easy decision to make and before I knew it, they had completed the entire series of auto responders I needed to launch my event. Plus, Michelle was kind enough to look at a few other bits of copy for me that were related to my goals.

The team at Sumer was a delight. While it took a little bit for us to get familiar with each other’s businesses and methods, we soon got into a rhythm and a flow that progressed beautifully. The team is talented, easy to work with and good-spirited. Jess and Brenna were professional, detail oriented and careful to follow up on every request I made (and I made quite a few!) ;-)

So when I plan to launch a new event or I decide to do a new online marketing campaign, I’m calling Michelle to ask for their help in handling all the details. For online marketing, there’s really no other place I’d rather go. Thank you, Michelle and Team Sumer!"

Style with Lee

Thanks to my VIP day with the Sūmèr team, for the first time, I have both clarity and a strategic plan for my business. I’m so excited about the plan we put together. I’m now able to implement it without feelings of overwhelm. I know just what to do and when to do it. It’s worked so well that, the week after my VIP day, I was able to close my biggest sale ever.

"Thanks Sūmèr for the great job you did on editorializing the content for our website. After only one meeting--and without prior knowledge of our quite technical products--you did your homework and nailed the copy the first time. We were amazed by how quickly you were able to complete the work and were thrilled with the final result. We would highly recommend your services to any of our colleagues, clients and suppliers. Thanks again for a great job well done in a timely manner."

Daniel Taylor Photography

“Hiring Sūmèr was the element I needed to take our fast-growing wedding photography business to the next level. We knew we wanted to target a specific niche part of the market, but we weren't sure how to layer that into our site without alienating our base clientele. Michelle clarified for us those clients and their unique profiles. We could never have learned this by simply reading books or on-line articles.
She immediately identified exactly what our web site lacked in connecting with those coveted, high-end clients. Her perspectives were specific to our region of the country, the South, and not simply the current buzz on the East and West coasts.

Michelle has given us revenue-generating words and messages. She exceeded our expectations when she taught us how and where to add essential web site elements to influence the way our web visitors move through our site. They can now essentially pre-sell themselves. I never realized how much influence our site could have on clients until we worked with Sumer, and how much less work that requires of us in our sales consultation meetings.

Through the extensive interviewing and collaboration process, Sūmèr reframed how we saw ourselves and our strengths as a business to reach our coveted market segment. Best of all, the changes are authentic to our brand and are forward-thinking to meet not only our current needs, but where we want to be in the years to come.

I've been a professional, award-winning journalist for years, but it took Michelle's incisive assessment of our web site message to give us fresh perspective. The changes make us relevant and up-to-date in a specific, purposeful way that we know is translating into our bottom line. This is one of the best investments we've made in our business. 

Sūmèr has put us yards ahead of our competition and allowed us to expand into larger, more lucrative markets.”

Drexel Hill

“Last summer, while attending a conference with other professional painters, a speaker asked attendees what they did to remain in front of their former customers. I thought that after we painted someone’s home or commercial building, they probably would not want to hear from us again until they needed painting again. I never truly thought that, after several years, they might forget who painted for them!

This is when I began working with Sumer. They helped us design post cards for direct mail campaigns and a brochure as a leave-behind on bids, and then revamped the wording on our website. Every step of the way has been excellent. They also suggested we do a newsletter. However, I assumed that my customers would have no interest in reading about what we do. Michelle developed a plan, and we put our newsletter in motion.

I was very surprised by the results. Customers that I had not spoken to in years called or sent an email saying hello, and many also asked us to bid on a variety of projects. Each month, we get feedback from our newsletter and new projects.

All of these amazing results came about, just because we stayed in touch.

While I think that the mere contact was helpful, I also believe that the professional writing and content of the articles are what really make a difference. Michelle’s team is great and easy to work with.”

Christophe Artisan Chocolatier

"Before hiring Sumer to write our web copy, I was writing everything myself. What a breath of fresh air to have a professional team write for me—they saved me valuable time and my customers are enjoying what they read! Not only are people all across the nation now able to make a purchase, but just having our name out there and the awareness of our brand on the minds of our target market is a step toward growing our business.

Team Sūmèr worked tirelessly to ensure the site copy was accurate and optimized, and they even helped me prepare for the launch. They were a partner throughout the entire process, and I am thankful I hired them. This is one of the best decisions that I could have ever made for my business."

Equester Solutions

"I highly recommend the Sūmèr team to handle your copywriting needs. I had an outstanding experience having the team write the copy for my new website. The process was handled with extreme professionalism and excellence, and the team met our needs completely.

Well Designed Journeys

"We were struggling to figure out how to get our marketing message out to our clients, and nothing seemed to work until we had the privilege of hearing Michelle speak to our mastermind group. We did not want a site where the majority of the information was, we do this and we do that. We wanted a site that gave information to our clients about what they would experience and why Well Designed Journeys was a company that would make their journeys exceptional.

 We loved working with Team Sūmèr. Hiring them to write our website copy was probably one the best decisions we made for our business.

We were able to use their expertise to narrow our focus and to create web copy that speaks to our clients and lets them feel what they will experience when they travel on one of our journeys. Furthermore, her team will make sure your copy is perfectly optimized."

Hills of Africa Travel

"Hiring Sūmèr to write our web copy and monitor our search rankings has been the best investment we've made in our business. We've seen a huge increase in customer attraction and even better leads from the website.

We knew we were working with the right person to get the job done the way we wanted. Michelle and her team understand our target market and our business goals, and they have done everything possible to make sure they know everything about our business."

Nest Realty

"The Nest website is the face of the company. Therefore, I had to have a site that was head and shoulders above the competition in all respects. Within the last 10 years, real estate has shifted from an offline industry to one that is starting to become dependent on technology and the web.

Having great copy was really the icing on the cake. If the site was beautiful and functional, but the copy was clunky, I would lose prospects and the site wouldn’t be as appealing to visitors. The Sūmèr copywriting team took pages and pages of business plans and company beliefs and consolidated them down into simple, concise, and easy-to-read copy. And from a search engine standpoint, great copy will help me attract visitors to the site so that I can then convert them to clients.

I have been involved in large web projects in the past, but never considered a copywriter. However, I felt it was important to have professionally written copy, not only to enhance the visitor experience, but also from a search engine optimization standpoint. I am so glad I decided to hire Sūmèr."
