No.

Ask a web design firm what mix of marketing activities is best suited to your business needs and they'll undoubtedly recommend the only service they offer—website design.

At JDM, our recommendations are not hindered by over-specialization. We offer a full-range of integrated, results-oriented marketing services.

A little more than just website design, no? [ get the specifics on our services ]

Project-Based Pricing Details:

Project based marketing services are based on a per-hour rate and estimated number of service hours. After we've determined the details of the project, we'll submit a flat, project price proposal for approval. Payment terms are 50/50 for the first project and net 15 for all following projects.

No-Contract Retainer-Based Pricing Details:

JDM hates complicated contracts as much as you do. Our retainer is based on an estimated number of marketing service hours needed per month and priced at 30% to 70% less per hour than on a project-basis.

Best of all, unused billable hours roll-over to the next month and if a given month requires additional hours, they can be borrowed from the following months.

JDM's no-contract, retainer-based marketing services are by far the most cost-effective for businesses looking to achieve their objectives and generate a long-term positive return on their marketing investment.

JDM began in early February of 2007.  Since them we've grown steadily with zero-debt status and wholly-owned by our Managing Director.

There's a little story and history behind our name.  It's a little boring though.  Just don't say we didn't warn you.

[ The Story of 'JDM' ]

Primarily, JDM works with small and medium-sized businesses with revenue in the range of $1 million to $50 million annually.

Uh, yes—well sort of.

Our full-service suite and targeted approach tend to lend themselves to B2B marketing best.  However, JDM does have a number of B2C clients.  Just can't quite pigeon-hole us, can you?

The short answer is, three W2s, nine 1099 production resources and six support staff (IT, accountants, lawyers, etc.), but it's a little more complicated than that.

As a service business, JDM's biggest cost is payroll.  To keep our overhead low (and therefore our pricing), we only employ 3 full-time resources.  When we need additional bandwidth or a specific skill set, we look to our 1099 ("as-needed") Associates and part-time Managers.  All of the Associates and Managers have worked with JDM for some time and have proven themselves time and time again.

This semi-virtual model allows JDM to adapt quickly to changing demand and fast approaching deadlines while minimizing our monthly overhead.  Lower overhead translates to lower costs to our clients.

With the exception of large-scale printing, JDM prides itself on providing all our marketing services from in-house resources. We rarely need to go outside the competency of the staff of JDM.

By keepin' it in-house, we can deliver a higher-quality, lower-cost and more consistent product to our clients.

I wish we could list them all, but we can't. Suffice it to say, there are about 47 of them in a wide variety of industries and all based in the DFW area except for 2 overseas (which is kind of a long story).

Client industries include:

• Energy
• Oil & Gas Exploration
• Legal
• Healthcare
• Commercial Construction
• Outsourced Human Resources & Staffing
• Information Technology (SaaS mostly)
• Travel/Accommodations
• Restaurants/Entertainment
• Commercial Shipping
• Telecomm

Guess, we don't really have "normal business hours."

JDM is by appointment only and we're pretty flexible.  Morning people tend to get in early and leave early while the night-owls get in a little later and stay very late.  Almost around the clock, there's someone in the JDM office.

If you've got a strange schedule to work with, don't worry.  We're pretty flexible.

No—not necessarily.  The purpose of a web log (or blog) is twofold.  First, it allows your business to create a community of readers, who can comment, take your polls, etc.  Additionally, this community of readers will look to your business as the industry thought-leader.  Secondly, an online blog can function like a key word fish net.  Tons of constantly changing editorial with key words linked back to relevant pages on your site will improve the search engine visibility of your corporate site.

It requires a lot of work to develop a successful blog, but the rewards in thought-leadership, SEO and "good-will equity" outweigh the trouble.

It's still unclear how micro-blogging providers like Twitter will someday monetize their service, and it's also unclear if Twitter itself will prove a fad.  Micro-blogging, however, is here to stay.

Who has time to read thousands of words on the latest industry best practices anymore?  Micro-blogging, with its 140 character limit, keeps the info short and sweet.

Look to micro-blogs in B2B marketing as a real-time conversation with your Brand.  What's troubling you?  What success have you had in the last few hours?  What meetings are you looking forward to?  What’s changed or going to change in the next few days?  These, short, up-to-the-minute updates can keep your prospects interested and let your current customers see behind the curtain a little.

Totally understand.

Full-service marketing can be a little overwhelming at first. It's esspecially confusing when you're unsure about the terminology, budget, and goals of your marketing and sales teams.

JDM offers FREE marketing consulting for just this reason. This is not a sales call, this is free consulting. We like to think of it as 'good-will equity.'

All you have to do is "raise your hand." We'll follow-up with you and get the conversation started.

No—not necessarily.

A website doesn't have to drive sales directly—though it can.  Think of your corporate website as an online salesman who never sleeps.  Let the website re-iterate the value of your product or service; demonstrate it via a video presentation; brag on the class and accomplishments of the senior executives.  When you meet with the prospect again, you can get right down to rolling the pen.

There's a story behind this less-than-inspired name.  It's a little boring though.  Just don't say we didn't warn you.
