You need to cut through the confusion to make your message clearer, cleaner and more concise. Any written material you distribute is a reflection of your company, its products and services. Sloppy copy could lose you the sale.
And why should you spend your time on non-core pursuits like writing and marketing when you can employ someone to do it for you in a fraction of the time?
Let Write Here get it right for you first time, within budget.

Editing/Proofreading
Attention to detail is a critical aspect in any content and can mean that you retain the reader’s interest, which leads to the action you desire. Poorly written content, with spelling and grammatical errors could result in a potential client moving on to one of your competitors. For authors it can be the final polish of your manuscript that will launch or enhance your career in the exciting world of publishing.
Write Here provides an editing and proofreading service for business documentation, technical white papers as well as for fiction and non-fiction manuscripts.
Email Campaigns
A regular email newsletter is a non-intrusive way to keep your brand in your recipient’s minds. It’s also highly effective and represents exceptional value for money. According to Experian, the average business email delivers over 40 times return on investment. However, because of the sheer volume of emails your potential customers receive daily, your email needs to stand out to make an impact.
SEO Content
Your website is your online shop window – it’s where all of your social media, email and blog activity points back to. Clear and compelling website content is what turns visitors into customers.
People read quickly online, so you need your copy to be easy to read. Using the right words helps to persuade your visitors to convert to becoming your customers. Google favours high quality copy that naturally contains the keywords your audience are searching for.
Marketing/Communications Strategies
Strategic planning and the development of a customer insight and campaign is critical. Write Here focuses on identifying the real opportunities where content can help brands play a meaningful role in their customers’ lives. Using social media platforms, Write Here creates conversations between brand and customer through timely, relevant and entertaining brand content.
Write Here can assist SMMEs in devising communications and marketing strategies that maximise brand exposure through a mix of traditional and digital media.

Testimonials
Allyson Koekhoven has written a number of feature articles on our range of equipment for various business to business media. The feedback received from these publications is that Allyson has the knack of writing in the style required from each editor. From my personal perspective as the marketing coordinator for Kemach JCB, Allyson lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. She is able to take a project from the conceptual stage, through research, interviewing, writing and gaining approvals from clients, to the final stages of submitting it to media she has targeted.
In addition, Allyson’s advice on timing of story release and ensuring the correct angle to a story is achieved, are advantageous to us and are a result of her many years of experience in the field of industrial writing and editing. Allyson’s ability to fully understand the media we submit articles to is a huge bonus for us and gains us the much needed exposure we seek.

Allyson worked closely with our technical and sales teams to produce case studies and corporate articles that were perfectly suited to the various horizontal and vertical media she had targeted.
