Seal Global Holdings, LLC.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Nicola’s Marketplace, an online retail marketplace that sells baked goods and ravioli.

What challenge were you trying to address with Seal Global Holdings, LLC.?

We needed someone to help us build a consumer-friendly website for easy online shopping.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Seal Global Holdings essentially increased my online presence by developing a website and creating my social media channels. They built a basic template from Shopify and provided custom coding for the feature and functionalities, and they’re continuing to assist me with ongoing maintenance and support.

Apart from that, they also set up the groundwork for my SEO efforts by creating the metadata and social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.

What is the team composition?

I work with Oney and Rohan (Principal Consultants).

How did you come to work with Seal Global Holdings, LLC.?

I felt confident about what Seal Global Holdings can do for me after going through a couple of meetings with Oney. I knew they would be able to deliver what I needed because they really paid attention to my needs.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent somewhere between $5,000–$7,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started in October 2021.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

I’ve never set up an e-commerce website, so I’m very satisfied with what they’ve been able to deliver — they implemented the functions and features that I needed to make the platform look professional. I’m surprised by the level of detail they put into the development and how they treat it as if it’s their own.

They took my business to the next level and the website helps portray my company as a valid one to my customers.

How did Seal Global Holdings, LLC. perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re excellent from a project management standpoint as they’re able to produce work on time and on budget. We mostly communicate through Skype, email, Teams, and Teamwork.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re very impressed with their extremely fast response time and ability to meet deadlines consistently.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve only been working together for a couple of months and I haven’t seen anything they necessarily need to improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Before you contact Seal Global Holdings, make sure you’re ready to commit to the project and prepare some ideas in mind because they work very quickly.
 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the manager of RedBlueArts. We’re an art school with a website.

What challenge were you trying to address with Seal Global Holdings, LLC.?

We wanted to switch our website’s platform.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Seal Global transitioned our website onto Shopify. Their team maintains the website on an ongoing basis. They, for example, change the platform’s content, including pictures, student information, and more. Seal Global also manages our social media marketing initiatives via Instagram. Their team directs our Google campaigns and makes flyers.

What is the team composition?

I have a main point of contact. However, there’s a large team of people working on various tasks.

How did you come to work with Seal Global Holdings, LLC.?

I found them on Upwork and then their team completed a small project for us. Our partnership grew from there.  I chose them passed on their professionalism and Shopify expertise. I also wanted one vendor to manage our website and marketing initiatives.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent between $50,000–$75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together around October 2016, and it’s ongoing.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We receive more traffic, and our website’s placed higher search results on Google. Seal Global has made many changes that have positively impacted our visibility. Since their team transitioned our website to Shopify, we’ve received excellent feedback. They help us quite a bit.

How did Seal Global Holdings, LLC. perform from a project management standpoint?

I communicate with our main point of contact every day to discuss any changes or tasks. I directly communicate with one of their other team members as needed too. We use Skype but also have a portal for project management. Seal Global always delivers on time.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They provide great service at competitive prices.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t have any complaints.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend them to anyone who asks.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-owner of a wholesale pharmaceutical company, for pharmaceuticals directly to physicians and pharmacies. 

What challenge were you trying to address with Seal Global Holdings, LLC?

Our customers often spoke to us through email or phone calls, so we were trying to enhance our ordering process and have a platform where our stakeholders could log in and place their orders.

What was the scope of their involvement?

The main goal of the ordering system was to have our inventory within it and reduce human errors.  The Seal Global Holdings team created a form where our third-party customers could go in, fill out a form online, and populate other forms for them.

Instead of having to sign multiple forms every single time, the system fills out the other forms too, which involved the participation of our internal team, pharmacies, and physicians. It also enabled them to sign digitally.

What is the team composition?

I only had one point person in this project. 

How did you come to work with Seal Global Holdings, LLC?

A friend of mine had used them before and was just very happy with Seal Global Holdings. I had some bad experiences with developers overseas, so when my friend gave me a glowing review of Seal Global Holdings, I thought I should give them a shot. 

How much have you invested with them?

I’d have to say we spent between $6,000–$8,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our project ran from December 2020–February 2021. 

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We just went live this Friday and I was pleased with their work. They came through and created exactly what I asked for. However, it’s still too soon to tell if the system is going to make a difference or not. Furthermore, we’re still making a few changes as far as graphics are concerned. 

How did Seal Global Holdings, LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

We usually met with our main point of contact every morning and had quick meetings on the project’s progress and deliverables. Moreover, I could reach them almost any time through Skype, and we were always in constant contact. Most of all, they were always available any time I had a question or I wanted to change something.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were not familiar with the field that we were in, but they quickly grasped and understood what we wanted. As a result, they were able to put together what we needed without having a deep understanding of our business. Above all, when they missed things, they quickly fixed them. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They did well. We haven’t beta-tested yet to make sure everything functions, so we still have a couple of weeks to see that. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear on your vision because it will make things smoother. Once you map things out and present them to Seal Global Holdings, it will be easier for everybody involved. 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the general manager of a consumer company that sells personalized gift items. We do wholesale, but we also have our retail locations. Apart from that, we manufacture products including our laser and color machines, and we ship them directly to consumers.

What challenge were you trying to address with Seal Global Holdings, LLC.?

We started out as a wholesale company, but we were looking to make our transition to online business. However, it wasn’t an easy step so we needed a professional team who can help us. That’s when we came across Seal Global Holdings.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They specifically created a wholesale website for us. They’re also currently providing us with all types of services for online business — this includes digital marketing, customer service, content creation, and social media management.

What is the team composition?

As far as I know, we’re working with more than ten people. I deal heavily with about five people, but I know their team is larger than that.

How did you come to work with Seal Global Holdings, LLC.?

It was a coincidence because we didn’t look for them intentionally. We were trying to do business during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they offered their services. They told us they were using all these services as a turnaround key for managing online businesses. We agreed to try it and if it turned out to be good, we can work with them. It’s been about roughly six months now and we’re still working together.

How much have you invested with them?

We’re paying $4,000 every month since the day we first started.

What is the status of this engagement?

The ongoing partnership started in September 2020.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The most significant improvement since partnering with them is the 60%–70% increase in our revenue.

We’re thankful that their service fee includes everything. Our partnership is not a dedicated service, but a shared plan. Although they do offer a more dedicated model as far as I know.

How did Seal Global Holdings, LLC. perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is really awesome. I’m in touch with the team on Skype almost every single day. We use teamwork as our main management tool and whenever I have a request, I put it on there and they follow it up to complete the task.

What did you find most impressive about them?

To be honest, I haven’t really worked with any other company in this capacity. I tried to hire individuals for my company, but it was really difficult to peddle every single person. Sometimes they weren’t professional, or we didn't have the budget to hire anyone. We were really trying to improve ourselves but it wasn’t working as we intended.

However, Seal Global Holdings know exactly what they’re doing. Every single person in that team is an expert in their field. They make me relaxed because they can handle everything. Working with a comprehensive team like Seal Global Holdings is so much better.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They can make improvements to their social media management service. The team member handling it is really helpful, but they can do it so much better. Compared to the other division of the team, they’re really good, but this is the only aspect that’s falling a bit behind.

Running ads for a small company like us means direct cash. Once you start running ads on Facebook, you start building your community and driving the revenue immediately. If they can handle it better and improve themselves, it will be so much better for the partnership.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’m already telling all my colleagues that if they want to start their online business, they have to be in consistent communication all the time. You need to stay in touch with the team in person if you expect them to handle everything by themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know anything about your business, your product, and your customer segment. Communication is key.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO and president of an electronic manufacturing company that works with innovative sensing systems designed for machines and public safety. Along with working with clients that require innovative sensing, we also supply products over Google Marketplace, Amazon Marketplace, eBay, and others.

We’re in the business of new generation sensors that include organic trip sensors, individual sensors, data analysis, and more.

What challenge were you trying to address with Seal Global Holdings, LLC?

We wanted a partner that could help us in both e-commerce and digital marketing. One of the goals was not to go through a distributor because of the cost. We wanted to reduce the price of this IoT sensor system.

Our cost basis was figuring out how to have an e-commerce basis model that’s effective for B2B. It’s a little bit dangerous because, typically, industrial customers don’t buy a lot from e-commerce, but if the price range is right, we figured out that it is possible.

The idea was to work with a company with experience in e-commerce that could guide us to structure the e-commerce deal and guide us to do the detailed marketing for e-commerce.

What was the scope of their involvement?

I explained my promotional goal to them. According to the strategy and budget I set, their team changed our Google and email campaigns while maintaining our store.

We have a Shopify store, and the same products are sold on Amazon, eBay, and Google, which are all maintained by them. We pay for the ad charges, and their people have helped us build our detailed assets, and they operate it as well.

They built our Shopify store and do a lot of PR and blog posts for us.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with four members of their team, including the owner.

How did you come to work with Seal Global Holdings, LLC?

I’ve known the owner for ten years. We had worked on a project together previously, and I knew that he had his business.

In e-commerce, it is key to hire a company that deals with e-commerce businesses. They’re a company that survives on e-commerce trading, so I felt that we could trust them because they know a lot of the inner details of how e-commerce works on Amazon.

I went with them because their entire income is supported by e-commerce, and I felt like we would be dealing with the right kind of company because they’re selling fast and correctly.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend around $100,000 a year.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing engagement with their team started in September 2017.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

I’m monitoring their activity daily. They’ve given me experienced people that I can trust. Their team primarily does what we tell them to do in many cases. That way if there’s a success or failure, it’s our strategy that is a failure or a success; they’re just advising us.

I can’t hold them responsible for failure or success. For them, a success metric is how quickly they can get the job done. They’ve done a lot for us starting from marketing promotion.

The problem is that we’re still strategizing many of them, and they’re executing our vision. If a campaign isn’t doing well, normally, I should be held responsible because I told them to do that. We’ve grown into a multi-million-dollar business in the last two years. They’re the backbone for our sales increase.

How did Seal Global Holdings, LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re very good from a project management standpoint. We communicate through email, phone calls, Skype, Teams, and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

For the last 20 years, their team has seen the evolution of e-commerce. They stand out because their main income comes from the selling of goods. Customers can trust their judgment, knowledge, and guidance because they know e-commerce very well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I think they’re doing fine. Given the price point we’re paying, I think it’s pretty good.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If anyone is serious, they should work with them. They would be my first reference for an e-commerce partner.
