Poco a Poco. Costa Rica Marketing the Affordable Way.

July 20, 2010 - PRLog -- In the past, online marketing solutions for businesses in Costa Rica have either been non-existent or expensive. This created a fear for many small-medium sized businesses operating on tight budget restraints.

There is an alternative.

Are you already spending hundreds each month advertising in local publications and not getting the results you expect? Here is why.

When you advertise in a local market you are restrained to the circulation of that particular magazine or paper. Not to mention that more times than not, your target market is not reading that print media you are paying to advertise in. For example if you are a developer trying to sell property to foreign investors, why would you advertise in a local magazine? Local. Foreign. Two distinctly different markets requiring two distinctly different advertising avenues. The only way a print ad will reach your target market is if you are placing ads in foreign magazines. That can get pricey.

So how do you reach your target market? Easy. Online.

Online marketing is the easiest, most cost effective, results driven, form of advertising there is. Reaching not only the correct target market but also thousands and thousands more potential clientele as you no longer face the downfall of print media...circulation.

For years people thought of online marketing as expensive, and it was. However now I (Don Halbert) have decided to put together custom tailored advertising and SEO (search engine optimization) packages to suit every market, every business and everybody. And all at prices that might surprise you.

It was only a few short months ago I had a good dose of realization. I realized that the markets in Costa Rica, a notoriously inexpensive country to live in, do not support the "average" rates for online advertisers like myself. I ate some humble pie and looked at things from a different perspective.

Every morning when I awaken, I consistently have a passion for my work. So long as I have this fire in my belly I am a content individual. And if I can maintain a happy lifestyle here in Costa Rica while working in a field which I hold tremendous amounts of passion for...then I'm a happy camper. Essentially I realized I dont need the thousands and thousands of dollars charged by North American online marketers and as long as I get paid to do what I love, then I am doing A-OK!

It is from that mentality that an idea was born. I thought that I would put together various packages that directly compete with print ad prices, but offer 100X the value for your advertising dollars. And results? Well I will let them speak for themselves.

In order to not inundate myself with work, I only offer limited ad packages at these prices and in addition to those, I also take on only a couple bigger SEO and Costa Rica marketing contracts that require far more time than that of the value priced options.

Valued priced ad/SEO packages start at $125 a month for simple link placement and then rise from there to the $250 mark which involves copy writing material, onsite/offsite SEO adjustments, banner ads and more. All of which reach hundreds of thousands of people per month within my well established Costa Rica marketing (http://www.donhalbert.com) network.

You might be thinking this guy is a great salesman but can he deliver the goods to go along with the gab? You be the judge of that. I encourage anyone considering hiring for online marketing, to do their own research by using Google, man's new best friend, and see how well positioned they are for their own markets. For example a good start might be to Google:
