Background

Versapak Ltd is a packaging company which started trading in July this year. We  are suppliers of plastic packaging in the form of injection moulded tubs, pots, and buckets. All products are tamper evident, produced from high quality food grade polypropylene, and conform to the highest standards of food safety and hygiene regulations. The vast majority of our products can also be decorated using in mould labelling techniques.

Stock is held at our facility in St Helens, Merseyside, meaning goods can usually be dispatched immediately following receipt of an order for delivery 1-3 days later.

We supply a wide range of industries from chemical to food manufacturing.

We have invested in a new professionally built website. However, we want to ensure that the website is supported by other digital marketing activities. Consequently, we are looking to source specialist digital marketing advice and support, covering:

  • SEO Optimisation
  • Content creation and website updates
  • E-commerce Conversion Optimisation
  • E mail website automation workflows

  • Social Media Content Creation
