Highlights of the year – teccrab inc. 2014 review
We are enjoying the last days of the year and would like to take a moment to say thank you for an amazing year. This year we had the pleasure to work with a lot of brilliant people on many fantastic projects. We would like to mention some of our highlights in our last post of 2014.
Our Sales Representative Alex joined our team in February 2014 with some creative ideas to increase the sales for our video production services. In March we produced a little advertisement with the goal to create a video that would demonstrate how powerful video advertisement can be, even if the video is made on a small budget. The video we produced, staring Alexander, is the following:
In May 2014 we had the pleasure to start working with Patricia, a very talented and dedicated Web Application Developer. One project she helped us with was the websites for an insurance agency in Germany. She also became the Project Manager for an in-house software we are developing.
Later this year we had the opportunity to update the INTERNeX website and to create a prototype for an iPhone application for them.
We also produced a 15 minute movie for INTERNeX which will be used as orientation for arriving candidates. Since this video is for their use only, we also produced a making of video:
During 2014 we have offered many seminars, but between October and December we had two seminars we want to mention here. One was about Online SCAM and the other about Facebook advertisement. Every Wednesday from October to mid December we switched between those two seminars and would like to thank everyone who joined us. If you are interested to see what seminars we organized in 2014 feel free to check out our profile on Eventbrite:
We used the quite time at the end of 2014 to work on our own website and translated a major part of it also into German. You can find our website at http://www.teccrab.com or http://de.teccrab.com if you prefer to read our details in German.
After this little short review let us talk a bit about 2015.
Our main goal for 2015 is to open an agency in Germany. With the knowledge and our connection we are confident that we can be a great asset for German companies who want to check out the North American Market and for Canadian companies who would like to explore opportunities in Europe. We produced a little video ad to introduce teccrab and our services to the German Market. The video is the following:
To get things started in Germany we have also planed a seminar in March 2015 were we talk about benefits and risks using social media as marketing platform. If you are interested to learn more about this seminar check out http://seminar.teccrab.com for more information.
Seminars are for us an important factor not only to educate but also to build trust. We therefore plan to offer in 2015 seminars with various topics. Since we had great success with the Online Scam seminars we are planing to have them as a regular event.
We also want to introduce “The Off Switch V2.15 by teccrab” an event we would like to offer once a month. More details on that soon.
As mentioned we had an exciting year and look forward to see what 2015 will have to offer.
We wish you all a good start into the new year.
INTERNeX HiGHLIGHTS – February 2014
We are very excited to announce that we started producing the INTERNeX HiGHLIGHTS for our partner INTERNeX International Exchange Ltd. again. In the first video we introduce Alexandra and Daniela, the two new PR Coordinators of INTERNeX. Alexandra will review the month of February while Daniela is giving a preview about the planed trips and events.
Both of them prepared their own script and it was also their first time in front of a camera. We thing they did a very good job and hope you will enjoy this 2 minute video.

Highlights of the year – teccrab inc. 2013 review
It is the time of the year where we take a moment to review the events of the ending year and plan for the upcoming one. I do of course the same for teccrab inc. and would like to use this post to give you a little inside or behind the sense if you want.
In 2013 we manly tried to concentrate on building a solid foundation, to plan ahead and to continue growing. We partnered with incredible talented individuals as well as fantastic organizations around the world. Those partnerships helped us not just to increase the quality of our core business but also providing high class services in areas related to ours. From Hosting to Web Design, from Online Marketing to Public Relations Services to Video Productions and even Event Management, we are able to provide services that can help a business to promote themselves.
In June we opened our consultation location and moved into a part of the office space from INTERNeX. This new location allows us to offer seminars and can function as a studio for video production. It is easy accessible for our clients and has enough room to secure a healthy growth of teccrab inc.
We were very excited to support last year some fantastic app developers who created interesting applications and hope to continue working with them in the future. One of those applications is MyPoi, we posted about this interesting app a couple weeks ago.
Please Read: Introducing MyPoi (My Point of interest)
We also helped new clients such as Craig to establish and to grow an online community and to promote his Blog as well as his related hairstyle business. If you would like to learn more about him please read the following article:
Introducing tangledthoughts.ca
But also clients we started working with in 2012, where teccrab inc. was founded, continued trusting our services and can report a healthy growth. We are of course talking about MarioFit.ca and would like to mention our related Blogpost:
One of our closest partners is of course INTERNeX International Exchange Ltd. In 2013 we produced for and with them many interesting videos for their clients. This project was driven by the PR interns of INTERNeX and our role was mainly production and post production support. The PR interns picked the locations for the INTERNeX Explorer and wrote their own scripts. We filmed them in different locations and provided the footage back to the interns who did the editing in most cases. The video was uploaded to YouTube almost every week. Unfortunately, because of changes in the PR team as well as technical problems, we couldn’t continue producing those videos, but plan to do it again in 2014.
If you like to see some of those videos please check one of the episodes here:
teccrab presents INTERNeX HiGHLIGHTS of the week Ep. 8/2013
But the HiGHLIGHTS of the week and the INTERNeX Explorer are of course not the only projects planed for 2014. We have plans to offer seminars for small businesses as well as individuals who would like to learn more about the benefits and also risks of social media platforms.
A social media management package designed for small businesses and startups is another project on our list. Our plan is to include in this deal a lot of services to get a small business started as well as support to manage and build an audience. We will also make changes in out team, would like to get new people on board to increase our productivity and to secure our known quality. A career page will be available on our website shortly.
We would like to thank everyone who trusted us with their business, everyone who partnered with us and everyone who is considering using our service in the future. We hope you all can look back on 2013 and can at least say to yourself that the experience you gained will help you in the future. For 2014 we wish everyone a fantastic start and look forward to continue or start working with you.
Cheers

The teccrab 2013 Online Marketing and Social Media Management Seminar
Promoting your product and services can be challenging. For many small businesses and startups the internet seems to be a good and cheap way to do advertising. But before investing a lot of money in the wrong platform, you should know a bit more about the many different ways to promote your business, product and services online. Often a combination of more than one platform leads to a higher success than just putting everything into one online advertisement campaign.
Our weekend seminar is designed to help you to find out which platform is the best for your business. We will talk about Online Marketing in general and also talk about Social Media integration into your Online Marketing campaign. To secure that you will get the most out of our seminar we keep our groups small, only a max of 10 participant per weekend. We also decided to offer this amazing two day seminar for a very discounted price. Only $129.00 for two full days.
Included are the following topics:
Online Marketing
We will talk about Online Marketing in general. Mention the most popular platforms to promote your business, products, services or events online. Plus talk about possible combinations.
SEO and SEM
You may have heard a lot about those two. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and SEM for Search Engine Marketing, but what does it mean? We hope we can help to get a bit more light on this subject for you in our seminar.
Blogging
In our experience Blogging is especially for small businesses a great way to inform customers about your business, products, services, special offers and events. A Blog can be a very powerful tool to help you reaching your goals, even with a very low budget.
Keywords / Tags
To help your customers finding your Blog or website you will need to add keywords so that your site pops up when someone uses a search engine. Let us guide you a little by explaining how important Keywords and Tags are.
Social Media – Overview
Our second day is all about Social Media. We will start with a little introduction and we will also combine things we learned the day before into this topic.
Facebook
What is the difference between a Facebook Profile, a Facebook Page and a Facebook Group? How can you integrate them into your Online Marketing Strategy and more important should you?
Twitter
Telling a storey with only 140 characters is not easy. Is Twitter really the right platform for you? Or is it just a waste of time? Let us help you to find out.
LinkedIn
We like to call it the professional Social Media Platform. You can find here professionals from around the world, but can also use it to introduce not just yourself, but your business, products and services.
Google Plus
The Social Media Platform from Google. Some love it, some like it, some think it is not worse spending time and money on it. We would like to introduce it to you and maybe you will be surprised that you can find your audience here.
YouTube
Videos are a great way to introduce your products and services to your audience. Let us show you how you can use YouTube as a fantastic advertising platform.
We will close each day with an hour for your questions. We believe, because our groups are small, you can be sure that your questions will be answered. We are offering this seminar for this amazing price only until the end of December 2013. If you are interested check out our Event Calendar to find which weekend is best for you. The location of the seminar will be our consultation location in Downtown Vancouver.
We are looking forward to see you soon.
The new sales and marketing intern Zehra
My name is Zehra and for the next two months I will be working in the sales and marketing department of teccrab inc.
I thought that you certainly want to know who you’ll have to deal with for the next few weeks:
Well, as you’ve probably noticed, I have no typical Canadian name.
Maybe that’s because I was born about 8200 km away from Vancouver.
No, it’s not Italy, not France. Right!! I’m from Germany!
My family is originally from Bosnia, but I always lived in Huefingen, a small town in the southwest of Germany.
I am 20 years old and I’m studying economics. In one year I will hopefully have my bachelor’s degree.
At the moment, I want to get more experience in sales and marketing and also to brush up my English.
That is why INTERNeX, which is a partner of my university, suggested to do an internship at teccrab.
And where can I learn more than in a company, which is not only doing a great job but also working with a lot of passion?!
And now I’m sitting here in the office of teccrab, looking out the windows, enjoying the flare of Vancouver and hoping that the next two months at least be half as amazing as the last few days here in Canada.
I would be delighted if you would give some survival tips for Vancouver, ask me some questions or what I would like the most if you tell me some stories about yourself!
I’m looking forward to get many new impressions, to gain more experience and to meet a lot of cool people like you are!
Cheers,
Zehra
teccrab presents INTERNeX HiGHLIGHTS of the week Ep. 8/2013
In Episode 8 of INTERNeX HiGHLIGHTS of the week we included another great INTERNeX EXPLOReR were we went to Gastown.
Clare tells us a little bit about the history of Gastown, about Gassy Jack, talks about hidden gems such as the Cottage Deli and mentions the bike race, which was held last week.
Clara also had a chance to interview one of the many fantastic Bartenders of the Blarney Stone. Come and check it out:

teccrab presents INTERNeX HiGHLiGHTS of the week Ep. 7/2013
We started in May a new video project with INTERNeX. A show for their candidates to inform about upcoming trips, events and pub nights. We as well included in each video a short INTERNeX EXPLOReR where we introduce different locations in Vancouver.
Usually each episode is about 3 minutes long, but for episode 7 we went to see another of our clients, Craig from tangledthoughts.ca, where one of INTERNeX PR interns received a special treat. Craig is one of the best Hairdresser in Vancouver and you can usually find him in THE salon beauty bar on 505 Thurlow Street.
We needed for the production and postproduction of that video about 3 days. Little fun fact, while filming in THE salon beauty bar, another film crew closed the Thurlow Street in front of the salon to shoot a scene for the upcoming Godzilla movie. I admit it was very cool to produce a video right next to the big boys.
We also would like to mention that we had to change the format in episode 7 a little. The reason is because Clara, one of INTERNeX PR interns, is usually editing the videos. But for episode 7 we had to do the entire postproduction ourselves. Unfortunately we forgot to copy the intro and music Clara used for her videos and had therefore to improvise.
We hope you will enjoy the video and look forward to your comments.

Happy Canada Day – 2013
We wish all our employees, interns, clients, partners and friends a very Happy Canada Day. Many of you know that July 2013 is for teccrab inc. a very special month. Not only have we partnered with a hosing company located in the Netherlands, we also work on a new concept for our website and will soon move into a fantastic office located in Downtown Vancouver. A strong relationship with a Vancouver based web developer will allow us to concentrate more on our online marketing packages without loosing the ability to offer high class websites to our clients. More about this will be revealed this month.
To celebrate Canada Day we have uploaded a new timeline picture, which you can find below. We hope everyone has a great day. Happy Canada Day 🙂
How much does a website cost?
This post will be a bit longer because it is a question that is not easy to answer. I once saw a very clever post from a website developer who explained creating a website with buying a car. He explained in his example that you can get a cheap car or a luxurious car with a lot of extras and depending on what car you need or want you will pay for it either a little or a lot. I think that this example was very true and to the point. In my post today I would like to help you to get a better understanding for website development, how much you can expect your project will cost and will try to mention some prices so that you can do your own calculation.
The first question you will need to ask yourself is what kind of website do you need? The second is how much can you do yourself?
If you have a business where most of your costumers will visit your real store and not buy your products online, you most likely will go with a very simple website and use one of those “Do it Yourself” tools, to have at least something like an online business card.
But as soon as your business is growing you will see the need to present yourself a bit more professional and this will be the moment where you will start looking into the available options more closely. You will also see the need to look into someone with SEO knowledge and experience with social media tools as well as someone who can help you with internet marketing solutions.
You as successful business owner will have your experience with the fact that finding a good partner can be a challenge and you will know how important it is to have good partners on your site. Knowing that your online presents is an ongoing project and not just a tool you buy and use until it is broken is also a very important fact, because this will make you aware of securing the right partner on your site. To get back to the car example, you most likely will go to the same mechanic every time your car is broken, if you like and can trust this person. The same rule applies for sure for a doctor or dentist. If you do not feel comfortable with your doctor or dentist, you most likely won’t get back to that person. Read the rest of this entry »
