In the past few years, the supplier of industrial transmissions and parts has had to find new ways to market and operate their business in order to stay competitive. So they jumped on the information superhighway.
First Dartco started advertising on the internet, trying different things like banner ads and search engine ads. Very quickly, Dartco was picking up customers all over the U.S. Then the international orders started coming in. “We’ve got customers in every state now,” Peek said.
After being successful with marketing over the internet, Peek started to use the web to help him find new ways to manage his growing business. Dartco uses web portals like Thomasnet to help them locate vendors like Freightquote.com who helps manage Dartco’s growing freight transportation needs. “Just like many of our customers found us on the net, we’ve found vendors and services that we never knew existed,” Peek remarked, “So the web is helping us manage the growth that it helped us get to begin with.”
The success of Dartco’s humble internet efforts was initially surprising, but Peek credits their dedication to their original business model, saying “we’re still committed to good service and good word of mouth, but we’ve used the web to extend those two factors in new places and in new ways.” “We’re not exactly a high-tech business, but we’ve learned to use the high-tech tools very effectively.”
