In 2009 there were 27.5 million businesses in the United States. Nearly half of them engage their customers online. Which also means only half of them engage their customers online. If you’re one of the former, then you’re here because you want to profit online. If you’re already online, then you’re here because you’re interested in increasing those profits – the site you made in 97 had a good run, but it’s time to put it out to pasture.

The internet is no longer a series of destination sites with a clearly defined objective. It’s now a labyrinth of conversations and imagery. A myriad of interactions occurring between businesses and consumers, whether that be a follow, like, list or purchase. Hopefully all of the above. Successfully navigating this environment requires a fluency in a new media language that is still being written. ‘Build it and they will come’ no longer applies.

And so Mythical Media sprung forth to fill a need for passionate online commerce specialists. Founder, Ian Wynne, has rallied decades of experience in analytics, fraud prevention, marketing, design, development, payment processing, global e-commerce and conversion optimization. But the Mythical Media team is so much more than the sum of our skills. We are both patrons and products of this digital frontier. We see in design mockups and graphic overlays. We’re here because we’ve been raised by an industry we’ve also helped evolve. And ultimately we’re here to help.

Mythical Media is a boutique firm and must be selective in the clients we take. If you’re interested in a consultation with us please Contact Us. That being said, we’re also firm believers in sharing our knowledge with anyone that would learn. And so the Total Online Profit Strategies (T.O.P.S.) system was created, which distills key elements of our trade into a comprehensive report. Sign up for our mailing list to receive yours for free.

Building Trust with Your Customers

We work from a unique perspective which has helped our 100′s of clients all around the world to develop their own reputation online and actually build relationships with their customers. We do this in such a way that once setup, is effortlessly automatic and continues to grow trust with customers online while you sleep.

•  List and database building which is vital to any successful business these days
• Automatic follow up emails (did you know that less then 1% of people viewing a website will make any contact the first time around?)
• Social media usage, to make sure you use it properly and have the biggest benefits. For example, did you know that over two thirds of people will happily agree with a recommendation from their ‘friends’ on Facebook? And yes, that includes old high school friends that you haven’t seen for years!
• Design elements that strategically enhance the trust with you and your brand
• Search engine optimization because the first thing a potential customer will do is ‘Google You’. If they can’t find out more about you and your business, then it’s pretty much slim to none chance of getting them on board.
• Staying in touch with existing and even potential customers is then a big key to having a long term lively business which actually makes a lot of profit.

Our content management systems are all initially based off the world’s most used platform called WordPress (you may have heard of it). We then take it a step further and simply everything involved in WordPress to have things like drop’n'drag content editing, simple image galleries and so much more.
• Social media connections – Did you know that it’s possible, even with the new Facebook updates, to lead people to a specific page on Facebook that they can only see once they ‘Like’ you? This is very possible and much much more. Oh and you can control everything from the same super easy content management system.. not bad right?
• E-commerce

Analyze each step

How we look at everything from analytical point of view to make informed decisions. Too many people these days will go off waste money on having a site developed that they never know what is happening with it. We track and know everything from where the users are from, how they found you, through to what they are clicking on most.

• Advanced heatmap technology – Record and know exactly where people are clicking on your website. Are they using the navigational bar properly? Are they following through on potential sale buttons? And so much more.
• Complete knowledge using Google Analytics – the world’s best anayltical software is at your finger tips as you see what countries, states, towns people are from. Look at how long they stay on your site, even how long they view your video for? Perhaps most of your customers are leaving half way through? This all tells you exactly what you need to know to help make changes to your site. Wair customers online. Which also elf? Check out our report at www.tops.bz
