Not hard sell – recommend the right products / services to our clients
DBS actually stands for "Directory Business Services" and gives a bit of a clue about the company's beginnings.
DBS began life as a Yellow Pages Advertising Agency. Many business owners in California were unhappy with the pressure that was applied to them by Yellow Pages sales reps, the quality of the artwork supplied by publishers and, in general, the whole admin process.
Initially the company based its fees on a percentage of savings they could achieve for their customers but quickly identified Yellow Pages customers with a large spend who were happy to pay a monthly retainer for DBS to take care of all of their directory advertising.
The philosophy then was quite simple - our clients stayed in charge but we did all the work.
David returned to his native UK in 1994 with his family after selling DBS privately in the USA.
The business started in a small bedroom in David's home and then moved briefly to commercial premises in Navenby, Lincolnshire before relocating to a farmhouse where raising a family and running a business ran side by side for 10 years.
Whilst at the farm David recognised that the medium of directory advertising would be overtaken by the internet and he immersed himself in internet marketing. DBS found themselves well placed as by this time they were helping many businesses budget for Yellow Pages, BT Phone Book and Thomsons.
DBS were in a position to be able to help their clients gradually transfer their marketing budgets from printed directory advertising into internet based marketing. The services DBS offered quickly grew to cover all aspects of web design, online marketing and social media.
Today DBS Internet Marketing runs from commercial offices in Lincolnshire where we are proud to receive visitors.
We offer help and advice to small and medium sized businesses throughout the UK.
DBS helps businesses by providing.
. The two are different disciplines. We provide web design and internet marketing under the same roof which means we give our clients high quality functional sites that generate high levels of enquiries from the internet.
