Silksoundbooks
Silk Sound, based in Soho, produces radio commercials, podcasts, soundtracks for television and major film studios.
During the many recording sessions at Silk we have been fortunate enough to meet and work with some amazing performers.
A couple of years ago we invited many of them to record their favourite books for a new audiobook venture called Silksoundbooks. As a result, we have the likes of Dame Judi Dench, Andrew Sachs, Julie Christie and Terrence Stamp reading both modern and classic stories exclusively for us.
These books have been compiled and made available for download via our website www.silksoundbooks.com. Our first website, launched in 2007 attempted to provide a convenient and easy route to market. Unfortunately, our website was not really as user friendly as we would have liked, and wasn’t performing at all well in the search engines. This meant we had to resort to expensive PPC campaigns to drive traffic to the site.
We had to do something, otherwise these amazing recordings were going to be shelved and never see the light of day. Then a friend introduced me to Ecce Media who had done wonders for their internet business.
Within minutes of our first meeting, Brant & Carl had dozens of great ideas and offered a viable alternative to our current online presence.
Our new website is brilliant, both in appearance and functionality. Customers can listen to samples of the books online, quickly buy and download the audio books or just purchase a gift voucher. The new download manager has made life a lot easier and really reduced the number of support calls. Rather than having to pay a specialist to update our website, the Ecce Media content management system allows us to add new books and edit content ourselves along with our newly launched Blog.
As for being easy to find, on the 6th of December we launched James Caan’s audiobook “The Real Deal” and within 2 days it was indexed on Google and our site consistently ranked higher than his own site. PPC’s are now a thing of the past.
We’d like to say a big "thank you" to the guys at Ecce Media for their sterling work on our website and we look forward to working with them in the future.
We would have no hesitation at all in recommending Ecce Media to any company looking to improve their web presence and online sales.
