Here are a few of our latest partnerships and the results of our marketing campaigns.
Website Design & Development
A website is your virtual storefront. If your website is cluttered, with not much white space, slow, or makes it difficult for users to find what they are looking for, then you have a bad website. Everything on your website should be thought out and with intent. Everything on your website should provide a purpose for the end user. Making a website ‘pretty’ or ‘modern’ describes the elements of the website. These words do not describe the intended purpose. Right now there is more competition than ever. Your website needs to have a purpose regardless if its eCommerce, informational, product driven, for a service. Think intent of every single page on your website. The days of dropping 300-400 words with a stock photo and a form are over.
What is the purpose of your website?
Your website is a marketing tool. The website should always provide the user with exactly what they are looking for. A website should also educate the user, provide insights into your service or product, have a clear call to action(s), and have a specific purpose. Each page on your website should be about one thing and one thing only. Your home page can offer a summary of all your website pages. Your homepage acts as a table of content of sorts, however, you should still have a clear actionable goal.
Digital Advertising Platforms
The end users on each of the advertising platforms have a different intent for being there. Additionally, each advertising software has different abilities, tools, segment possibilities and so on. Considering how the users are using the websites, the tools available to pinpoint your marketing efforts, and the goals of your advertising campaigns will dictate which advertising platform to use.
Google Adwords has the largest outreach of any platform, however, requires a lot of optimization. The cost per click is typically higher than most platforms. Adwords success depends highly on your experience.
__________
Bing/Yahoo Ads can often time can provide a lower cost per click than Adwords. The lower CPC can translate into a lower cost per acquisition. The downfall with Bing is its often produces far less traffic than Adwords.
__________
One out of every $10 in advertising is spent on Facebook Ads. Currently, we have seen the lowest CPA using Facebook Ads. The downfall with Facebook ads is it typically takes about three months to optimize and traffic is typically slow to start.
__________
Twitter will show your ads in both the feed and search content. Unfortunately, often times the ads are placed with no relevance to the search query or the person. For this reason, we recommend Twitter for branding campaigns.
__________
StumbleUpon paid discovery provides a very low-cost way to generate traffic to your website. StumbleUpon will place your ad into the feed of people who are interested in your topic. Unfortunately, the traffic is very low amounts.
__________
LinkedIn has three main features. Sponsored InMail, Display Ads, and Dynamic Ads. We like LinkedIn ads when the target is a high salary or high job responsibility candidate. Unfortunately, this comes at a higher CPC.
__________
Pinterest makes it very easy to drive traffic to your website. Additionally, information is easy to share on Pinterest. Conversions on Pinterest spend 2.5x more money too. The downside is Pinterest has a very specific audience.
__________
Instagram is a simple way to self-promote and now allows a company to add an address, email, and numbers. The majority of users are on smartphones and are millennials. Instagram is niche specific and won’t work for most brands.
__________
Types of Digital Advertising
Proper Ad Placement Will Reduce Your Advertising Costs
There are many ad formats available to you in the digital advertising world. The ad type and placement will introduce your brand, product, or service to a consumer at different stages of the buying cycle.
Search Ads, Display Ads, Remarketing Ads, Mobile Ads, In-Game Ads, AdMob Ads, Email Ads, Video Ads, and Social Media Ads can attract visitors, however, you must focus on the intent in order to convert.
Google Search example: Ad placement for a research query: “How to Fix a Clogged Kitchen Sink.” A Walmart ad for a plunger, Drano, or a Snake Tool could convert to a sale. Or “How to Fix a Clogged Sink” tutorial webpage that includes a video. The page could include ads for all the products needed (affiliate model) as well as a “Free Guide To A Kitchen Remodel Guaranteed To Increase the Value of Your Home.” This free guide would, of course, require an active email address to receive and would start an email funnel for your interior decorating business or home addition contractor company.

The Dilemma With Advertising Agencies
Early in my career, I worked for a major advertising agency. The agency had a portfolio of some of the largest companies in the world. Our projects were brilliant and beautiful and we had the awards to prove it. Early in my tenure, I noticed something wrong. We would deliver an award-winning campaign, and at the end of the contract, the client would move to another agency. If we did such an amazing job, why didn’t they renew?
Fast forward a few years it really hit me. This was a concept that would change my life forever. I realized something, every project we worked on in advertising had one goal. Win awards. Nothing was profit-driven, everything was about self-recognition. As if somehow winning webby awards and such would somehow translate into profit for our clients. This is why Sunbay Marketing was created.

Website Domains, Hosting and Email
Google Domains HTML CSS JavaScript Hosting
When it comes to domain registration we recommend Google Domains. Google Domains allows you to register your domain name starting at $12 a year. The reason why we recommend Google Domains is your domain will be on the same DNS servers that Google uses.
Google Domains has an add-on feature called G-Suite (formally Google Apps) starting at $5 per user per month. This can become expensive if you are just looking for an email provider. Include the features included in the suite, Google Docs, Sheets, etc, and you can save money by not purchasing Microsoft Office. Some of what is included in G-Suite is business email, shareable calendar, chat and video conferencing, and Google+. Additionally, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and Drive.
