Client Requirement
The leading transportation logistics company offers its bus services in over 250 cities all around the world. It was their idea of expansion that turned them to us to increase brand awareness and improve targeting.
And now we have created several marketing websites for the company that focuses on individual cities across North America. The websites allow customers to book trips for individuals and groups with ease
The client wanted us to create websites that included creating dedicated web pages for specific states and cities to ensure easy website navigation for the customer. This also helped them understand the brand and its services. The purpose behind having dedicated pages was to reach more consumers which would increase sales. With that going well, they now want us to create a mobile application for Android and IOS users that are looking for bus services online.
