Overview

Success Only Needs 1 Spark

It can be the moment you come up with a new idea. It can be when you add a new strategy to something already in motion, create a unique product, launch your service oriented business, or any other first or next step. One spark. It’s the thing that gets you started or takes you to the next level. It could even be making a new business contact or a collaboration. One spark starts the fire that can grow into an inferno.

How We Got Here

1Spark Consulting arose out of the need to help small businesses with their local marketing and it complemented an already successful track record of product launches, product marketing, and launching new websites.

It’s a culmination of experience that began in 1993 when 1Spark Founder Nick Romer landed on the largest home shopping channel in the world, QVC, with a unique product line that went on to become a best seller on QVC, then HSN, then shopping channels in the UK and Germany – then into over 22,000 stores in 23 countries.

During the rocket ride of Nick’s first official endeavor with physical products, the internet was also experiencing rapid growth. Jumping online in the early days and getting a site to rank #1 for a keyword could be accomplished by simply overpopulating your home page with keywords. Then, backlinks came along. Then, Google came on the scene and changed everything to where we are today – with a more sophisticated algorithm that is evolving to replicate the nature of discovery.

In the middle of all this, Nick launched a first of its kind digital photo sharing website that he used to share the birth of his daughter. Friends saw the online scrapbook and wanted one for their own children. The site went on to have over 150,000 indexed web pages and over 100,000 members before being sold.

It was in this process that Nick and his team learned search engine optimization, the power of split testing, how to get websites and standalone pages to convert, the application of online strategies using any and all new tools and opportunities, Adwords, Facebook, you name it, including the creation of “feeder sites” to support a main site, and more.

1 Spark’s 1 Spark

Enter a friend that had a disastrous looking website and an even worse online presence in regards to search engine optimization. Within days of turning the site over to Nick, it was ranked #2 for its main keyword, and 1Spark was born.

1Spark works with service oriented businesses that want to get more leads and to rank locally, and we work with products as well.

Commit to your success. We offer free consultations and truly want your business to explode. The amount of experience we bring to the table in many areas is astounding and we will likely provide you with more than one spark.
