Hughes Technology Solutions, LLC Changes Its Name and Services

March 31, 2005 -- Hughes Technology Solutions, LLC, a St. Louis based Internet and IT consulting company, has recently changed its name to ePlus Marketing (www.eplusm.com). The company now focuses on Internet marketing, eCommerce and Web design and no longer provides IT consulting.

“The new name, ePlus Marketing,” better describes the company’s services” stated Patricia Hughes, owner of the firm. Hughes explains that the company focus is Internet marketing. “ePlus Marketing focuses on how companies can receive a greater return on their Website investment and not just the site design .”

Why the change and why Internet marketing? “Since technology is part of what we do, opportunities in IT consulting arose. However, our core strength is in marketing strategy, and other activities took our focus away from what we do best.” She added, “with regards to the Internet marketing, it becomes quite apparent when looking at all the Web design firms that there is a large gap when it comes to marketing. ePlus Marketing fills in the gap by providing their clients with sound marketing principles that go far beyond the average Web designer.”

“Each project is managed by a marketing professional with at least 10 to 15 years of marketing and business management experience” explains Hughes. She has been involved with Internet marketing since 1996. “I’ve seen too many projects handled by designers or programmers who really don’t have the depth of knowledge regarding marketing and business strategy,” stated Hughes. ePlus Marketing establishes a thorough marketing plan that involves converting site visitors into clients. The strategy also takes into account the overall marketing strategy including such things as branding, product positioning, sales and other key marketing components.

Wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers and professional services are the main type of businesses ePlus Marketing handles. These companies range from large corporations to small organizations.

The firm also has a new address at 1001 Craig Road, Ste. 260, St. Louis, MO 63146, and phone number of 314-569-9880, email e-mail protected from spam bots. Their site can be viewed at: www.eplusm.com.
