38 CORPORATE VISION / Corporate Excellence Awards 2018 CORPORATE VISION / Issue 12 2018 55 , Oct18583 Click Digital Growth helps fulfil the online potential of any business, either currently selling or looking to sell their products online. We caught up with Founder at Click Digital Growth, Rhys Bevanwho provided us with a detailed insight into their innovative solutions. Fulfil Your Online Potential Established in 2015, Click Digital Growth is a team of digital growth specialists helping businesses fulfil their online potential. Not only do the team at Click Digital Growth create both beautiful and professional ecommerce stores that convert visitors into long- term customers, but they also work ongoing with the business to keep increasing relevant website visitors and revenue, through various online channels & strategies. Since inception, the team at Click Digital Growth have identified that businesses who wanted modern, up-to-date eCommerce websites had no alternative other than to either hire a full-time website developer, or a website design company, the former be- ing hard to come by, and the lat- ter requiring huge upfront costs and a big impact on cashflow. Click Digital Growth therefore provides these businesses with a conversion-optimised website, and then works with them in an eCommerce consultancy-type role for a monthly ongoing cost, thus eliminating any huge upfront costs for a new website from a website design company, or for a fraction of the price it would cost to hire an experienced employee. Rhys begins by informing us of the clients the firm works with and how the team approaches them. “Here at Click Digital Growth, we serve a wide variety of clients in various industries, from start-ups to long-established businesses. Each have the same goal and vision, to be successful online and provide their client-base with a great brand experience when using their web- site. Word of mouth plays a huge part, and luckily this has provided a consistent stream of new clients. Large company’s such as Tomos Watkin brewery approached us off the back of positive word-of-mouth feedback from Dr Organic.” As for what makes the firm suc- cessful, Rhys is keen to highlight the key factors which have ena- bled Click Digital Growth to stay ahead of the game. “Over time, we have found that this service has been very well received and really understands the difficulty a typical company has in creating an omni-channel strategy of selling through online and traditional methods. Moreo- ver, eCommerce and the Internet is constantly changing and evolv- ing, and to sit still, even with a new website is not a viable meth- od of being successful online. We realised that businesses who do use website design compa- nies, simply pay a large sum up front, receive a new website and are essentially ‘tapped on the back’ and wished good luck with it. This may increase sales in the short-term, but the essence of being successful online is to al- ways be creating unique content and optimising the website for sales based on website data and user experience. “As a recent client of ours said in our initial meeting ‘we’ve never sat down with someone who has said they can give us a new website and then work with us to keep making it better and better. Usually we are simply asked what is wrong with our current website and how they can fix it.’ We think this is a great example of how we’ve identified a new business opportunity in the market.” Looking ahead to what the future holds for CV’s Most Outstanding eCommerce Solutions for Online Retailers – Wales, Rhys signs off by revealing the exciting plans which lie in the pipeline for the award-winning firm. “Moving forward, our plans for growth are to maintain a sustain- able client-intake whilst still meet- ing client expectations and sales. We have only relied on word- of-mouth and this has proved to be extremely effective taking on new clients. We are very proud to state that every meeting we have had with a potential client has been successful and resulted in a working agreement. The chal- lenge has been finding the right clients, but with the likes of BNI we now have the opportunity and potential to reach out to a much wider audience. “Our aim is to take on enough clients to continue to recruit local- ly, and we have identified recent university graduates as ideal employees to take the business forward. “Helping local companies be more successful online is a key driver for motivation. If this in turns leads to South Wales being recognised as a growing digital economy for Wales and the UK, it will lead to local job employ- ment and investment into the area, putting Swansea and the surrounding areas on the digital map. This all starts with our clients – if we help them become more successful online, they in turn will require local talent to ful- fil new job roles, so effectively the success of Click Digital Growth is helping recruit local people.” Contact: Rhys Bevan Company: Click Digital Growth Address: Brynfield, Reynoldston, Swansea, SA3 1AE, United Kingdom Telephone: 01792 391782 Website: www.clickdigitalgrowth.co.uk
