About MJ Penner Consulting
We provide individualized, highly focused help in the online marketing areas needed most by our clients. In a profession replete with Do-It-Yourself web design tools or websites that are viewed as an IT expense and not a marketing cost-benefit, the missing link is usually high-impact visual design and a solid marketing plan to justify the website effort to begin with. We believe the business that decides to pursue a better website is the business that will stand apart on the heavily saturated web.We want to see a website DO something, not just sit there as a static brochure. We are problem solvers by nature, and we know what it means to provide excellent customer service. Just ask Habitat for Humanity Tulare County, who honored us with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award.
There is a lot that goes into building an online presence, and we see so many websites that were clearly a waste of precious time and money. Their mandate was most likely, "We just need a website to get ourselves online." It's really too bad, because by following this mandate they've blown their chance to make a great first impression. This is where our concept for "Web Rescue" originated. Web Rescue gives companies a second chance to make a good first impression. This should give you an idea of how we think...it's never to late to start doing it right.
Our background includes marketing services for healthcare, engineering, and high tech software companies. We've worked with the founder of Bowflex, the founder of Micron Computers, and driven marketing programs for technology startups where investor capital needed to be stretched to the limit. In short, we understand the pressures faced by executives in these companies and we work hard to provide the creative solutions and resources that meet the demands of emerging market spaces.
We bring a high degree of creativity to the table. For example, we've worked with Gordon Currie of Eldoren Consulting (look him up on Google to really understand why this is significant) on music, gaming, and creative writing marketing endeavors; including the E3 show in Los Angeles. We have a strong command of fundamentals like high impact writing, design, web hosting, and marketing strategies for putting these tools to work.

It's always a good idea before you embark on any journey that you make sure you know where you've been and where you're going. You need to continously evalute your status in order to make sure you are in fact on target. As you climb nearer your goals, you need to pay closer and closer attention. Marketing has traditionally been a discipline removed from hard metrics and performance requirements. The web changes all that. Let us show you how to take the mystery out of online marketing.
