How We’ve Helped Businesses Succeed in 2020

Pahl’s Market

Garden Center in Apple Valley, MN

 

eCommerce. Advertising. Social Media. Development.

We’ve working with Pahl’s for a decade and built their most recent website. Adding eCommerce had been talked about for a while, but 2020 made it a priority.

As a garden center, Pahl’s has thousands of products and a constantly changing inventory. Despite the challenge, we added eCommerce to their site with no downtime, no glitches, and very little stress. Thanks to the teamwork of Checkerboard and Pahl’s employees, the platform integrates perfectly with their in-store processes and management system.

Pahl’s is now one of the only stores in the area where you can buy plants online. The eCommerce store led to thousands of sales that otherwise may have gone elsewhere.

We also assisted Pahl’s Market with other marketing tasks, including digital advertising, SEO, social media, and more to assist in their sales during 2020.

 

Midwest Production Supply

Controlled Environment Distribution in Burnsville, MN

 

eCommerce. Advertising. Development.

After launching a new eCommerce site for Midwest in late 2019, their site took off in 2020 due to the effectiveness of their products and great user experience.

On multiple occasions they broke their record for highest monthly sales, and we had to custom develop solutions for the mass interest in particular products.

Their success can be attributed to a great website structure, responsive site design, an effective and wide-reaching ad campaign, and consistent improvement in search engine rankings.

We continue to work with them on Monthly Marketing projects to maintain their ad account, improve their website, and optimize products for search.

 

Abdallah Candies

Candy Store in Apple Valley, MN

 

Development. eCommerce.

Abdallah has had an eCommerce platform for years, and has seen some big sales numbers since we launched their current site in 2018.

Like many other companies in the food and retail industry, Abdallah needed to add new ways to shop in order to best serve their customers.

We expanded their delivery system with customized solutions to allow for a shipping calendar, added curbside pickup, and helped them keep in touch with their customers through site updates and social media. We also continued our normal monthly tasks to maintain their site.

Abdallah’s business structure allowed them to succeed during a very challenging time for most small stores.

Guidance Corporation

Coin Dealer in Minnetonka, MN

 

Web Design. Development. eCommerce. Advertising.

When the stock markets plummeted in March 2020, the cost of golden and silver skyrocketed amid a shortage.

Guidance Corporation had been in the early stages of a new web design for a while, but knew it was time to act. 

Their old site was barely functional, got little to no traffic, and didn’t work on mobile. We built them a new site with enhanced eCommerce, a responsive design, and a positive user experience. We wrote them unique optimized content to help them rank in search engines, and created an ad campaign to get customers fast. 

In just 1 month, Guidance Corporation had more site visitors than in all of 2019. 

They’re currently seeing over a 1000% increase in site traffic from last year.

“The work completed by Checkerboard was amazing. We are impressed with their level of service and commitment to helping us achieve our goals.”

Jason Himmelwright Nursery/Landscape Manager

“Checkerboard’s team was a delight to work with. They were thorough in the bidding process, asked intuitive questions to build out the scope, and detailed their recommendations so it was easy for us to define the best fit for our budget and strategy. Our website required complicated programming. The Checkerboard team was incredibly patient, and we learned a ton through this process! From design to functionality and management of the project, Checkerboard’s team was open-minded and enjoyable to work with!”
