Feedback summary: 

Solo Media Group has built a more stable website and shopping experience. The project management was excellent. Their communication and ability to be flexible was very impressive. The seamless communication via calls and screen sharing was useful. 

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the IT Director. We are a manufacturer of hair, skin and body products made specifically for tweens.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Solo Media Group?

We hired Solo Media Group because we need an experienced and efficient developer group to help us migrate from a WooCommerce e-comm site platform to Shopify.

What were your goals for this project?

Our primary goal of this project was to have Solo develop a stable and integrated e-comm website on the Shopify platform that was mobile responsive and support complex coupon promotional elements and an integrated rewards program.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We posted this job on UpWork and Solo Media responded to the job posting. We vetted over 20 companies for this job and Solo was who we decided to go with because they had amazing reviews from previous customers and had vast experience in the development and platform that we were needing for this specific project.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We hired Solo Media Group to help us migrate our existing site from a WooCommerce e-comm engine framework to Shopify. They initially recreated a mirror of our existing website that was on Woo on Shopify and the help us by developing multiple custom functions on the Shopify framework to support or site and system needs to promotions and our rewards program. Then we decided to redesign our website before launching it on Shopify and Solo coded in an entirely new website front-end for our final launch.

What was the team composition?

Our main point of contact was with John at Solo but there were multiple resources involved on their end but I was not directly in contact with them through the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The overall impact that this project will have on our business will be shown more over time but the biggest obvious impact is this project resulted in a more stable website and online shopping experience for our customers.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project management was seamless and effective. John managed his team of resources perfectly and it was easy for me to add tasks and feedback to the project through the development process. We used Google Hangout calls to discuss progress and share our screens. Also John used and would share tasks lists via Google Docs to make it easy for me to see what was being worked on and what was completed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The communication and ability to be flexible with ongoing project changes and shifts was what I found most impressive with Solo Media and John and his team.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No areas of improvement that I could think of from my end.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

My position is Co-founder and COO of Beam St.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Solo Media Group?

I hired Solo Media Group in hopes of turning over my website to make it editable, user-friendly, and functional.

What were your goals for this project?

My goals were to make our website even more consumer-friendly in the healthcare space.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

This vendor was referred to me by another colleague. Three other companies were considered and the turnover and trust in this team were the reasons why Solo Media Group was our favorite.

Describe the project in detail.

Our previous coder did not allow us to make any necessary content changes and I needed a team who could unlock that for us and to make some content changes as well as some design changes.

What was the team composition?

I worked exclusively with one member on the team and had great one-on-one feedback.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Outcomes were phenomenal. The team was EXTREMELY efficient, effective and concise. It was easy to communicate and the team was able to break down our needs in laymen terms so we were on the same page at all times. Our expectations were exceeded.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was seamless. We were able to put all our thoughts into a word document and crank it out one by one thoroughly and into detail. They really cared about our project.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their honesty, their quality of work, as well as their communication were the most impressive. They were able to complete our requests immediately because they made us their priority and I am sure they do the same for all their clients.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I own a small online retail business where we private label our own health & wellness products for sale on Amazon. We wanted our own website for our new brand and went to SMG to get set up.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Solo Media Group?

I did know the first thing about web dev, design, infrastructure, nor what tools or apps I needed.

What were your goals for this project?

I needed someone who was well versed in constructing a platform based on my needs and preferences.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

A good friend referred me over and spoke highly of John. After one phone call he was the winner against the 4 others that I vetted.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They created a wordpress site, connecting it to Shopify and designed the shopify site. I provided images and listings to borrow content from in order to design the website that would be ready to convert traffic.

John used the images, content, and pricing to make a clean website that was viable to generate sales. John connected apps in order to fulfill orders through Amazon's fulfillment where we store our inventory, and fine-tuned preferences like free shipping on all orders.

What was the team composition?

John and 2 others were on the project while I interacted with John the most.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The turnaround time was very fast, and his response time was as well. I felt like I was taken seriously, and that the project was a priority. Everything was done timely with professionalism, and came along with consultative recommendations which is what I love.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We used Slack and Email for communication, we used a shared google doc for content storage and milestones/project timelines

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They provide incredible insight into how a site should be constructed and why. There were very helpful tips along the way and incredible communication which is important on a timeline

Are there any areas for improvement?

Not at all, this was incredible!

Feedback summary: 

The quality that Solo Media Group delivered was always strong, and discussions for another collaboration are already underway. They were always available to fix bugs or make changes. The team ensured that all the functionalities met requirements.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are a regenerative medicine company that distributes stem cell recruitment products throughout the country. This includes products from placental tissue and other regenerative products that cover medical specialties like wound care, orthopedics, podiatry, dental, cosmetic, and pain management. I am the CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Solo Media Group?

We wanted to create an online ordering platform that allowed our customers to easily access our products.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built and customized our online ordering platform in WordPress and WooCommerce. The platform required a lot of customizations for our complex invoicing process. They integrated a lot of that with our accounting and sales rep commission software. The backend allows us to provide certain customers with unique features, and the whole project encompassed a lot of elements.

What is the team composition?

We had one main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Solo Media Group?

Our marketing lead referred them to us. He felt they'd be a great fit.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested around $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in August 2019 and was completed in mid-October. We added a few additional features after that.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We already had a large customer base, and we had to onboard those existing customers onto the new portal right after we built it. It was a complex process, and they did very well. They provided great quality work, and we already have another project in mind for them. We'll start production on that soon. The platform is an absolute game-changer for us, and we're much more efficient and streamlined than before. It eliminates a lot of human error, and our customers are very happy.

How did Solo Media Group perform from a project management standpoint?

Our main contact replied to all our inquiries. There were some bugs and other issues initially, but they communicated well through text, email, or phone. We also uploaded any bugs or fixes to our shared Google Drive. They were always available, which made the process much less stressful.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The fact that they're a smaller company really helps. They're much better than any larger firm I've worked with. They made sure that all the functionality was air-tight.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have provided more realistic expectations. Some things ran longer than we expected, and some of the features had a few bugs to work out. Knowing that upfront would have been helpful.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you have a line of communication set up with them and be sure to clarify all the expectations at the beginning.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Visitors to the site are converting, resulting in new business and revenue.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Everything was very smooth. We never needed to go back and forth with them; they get the job done exactly how we requested or, sometimes, even better than how we explained it. They stick to deadlines and communicate when needed. They were available via phone or messaging and are accommodating to what type of communication we preferred. Half of the team works while we sleep which confirms that the project is being worked on around the clock until completed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They have a good business model. They can quickly, successfully, and consistently deliver quality work. They're also very professional; we felt very comfortable giving them constructive criticism along the way.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work for a marketing agency that specializes in inbound campaigns, brand content, design, and development. I'm the project and program manager who's responsible for every project lifecycle.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Solo Media Group ?

We hired Solo Media Group to develop, design, and improve an e-commerce site.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to resolve errors that our previous developer had made on the backend, address design and functionality concerns, and launch an attractive and smooth e-commerce site by the 2018 holidays.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We connected on Upwork for another e-commerce project. I knew from our earlier experience that they would be a great choice for this project. 

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

Solo Media Group entered on the third milestone, when the project was failing. They solved a poorly coded Magento 2 backend; fixed the site's responsiveness, aesthetic appeal, and check-out ability; edited API integrations with Instagram and mapping applications; and revised many more functionalities according to the client's requests.

The team also provided training videos so we could continuously improve and teach the client about administrative responsibilities.

What was the team composition?

The team leader coordinated with his developer, who worked directly with us to improve efficiency and understanding. We also had a designer and project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The team took more time than requested to truly clean up the backend, hold several meetings, and complete additional revisions. This immediately satisfied our concerns about their abilities. They provided so much detail that we could easily explain their progress to the client and give an accurate delivery timeline for each task.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

They communicated exactly what happened behind the scenes through video calls, email, Excel spreadsheets, and shared Google documents. The team lead did an amazing job, offering consistent and coherent updates. They budgeted, communicated, and followed up well. 

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed by their responsiveness, honest communication, and great work ethic. They did their best work for us and our client.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

They could communicate directly with the client if that would improve the project.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Since Solo Media Group’s involvement, the volume of orders has noticeably increased, and they’ve secured first-page rankings for all keywords. The team is capable of tackling large projects while still remaining responsive and transparent. They’re true to their word and consistently deliver results.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a partner at a New York-based retail store called Altman Luggage. Since 1920, we’ve sold luggage and fine writing instruments from a number of well-known brands.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Solo Media Group?

We’d worked with several digital marketing agencies in the past, and they always failed to deliver as expected. At the time, we were having a lot of problems with our website, so we needed resources to redo our site and take over all of our digital marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, they designed and developed a new website using Magento 1.9 and migrated content from our previous site. The new, user-friendly site allowed us to add products, change them, and upgrade the platform quickly without having to do additional coding.

Since then, they’ve led our SEO and social media campaigns. They publish content every week on all of our accounts, including Facebook and Instagram. Whenever there’s a problem with our ads, they take care of it right away.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with their team for about a year and a half, now, and they've provided all the tools we need to be successful.

How did you come to work with Solo Media Group?

We knew a company that had worked with Solo Media Group before. They were satisfied with the way their site looked and recommended them to us.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend about $60,000 per year.

What is the status of this engagement?

The site build and migration lasted from February–May 2017, but they still provide ongoing support and digital marketing management.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Compared to before, our orders have gone up by about 20%–30% and the business has increased by 30%, too. In terms of digital marketing, they’ve boosted our search rankings for our relevant brands. Our previous providers could only get us to the second or third pages, but Solo Media Group pushed us to the first.

How did Solo Media Group perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re excellent to work with and always keep us up to date. Although we gave them a big task to work on, they were able to finish the project before schedule. We mainly communicate through email, phone, and text. If there’s an issue that needs to be fixed right away, I usually give them a call.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They respond to our needs, communicate in a timely manner, and deliver as promised. Performance is everything. If they say they’ll do something, they’ll do it. Additionally, if we ever have any issues, even if it’s out of their scope, they always try to help us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Just take them for their word. If they promise something, they’ll deliver.
