Some basic Company Info about C. E. Snyder Marketing LLC and our digital marketing agency’s history.

The Best of Lancaster in Digital Marketing Award 2020 winner: C. E. Snyder Marketing LLC

1996 – 1999 Wolfen Web Design

Going back to the beginning, I got my start as a web designer. I had already spent more than a decade of working hard on several side-hustles. But I was looking for more, so I paid to have a website built for me while I was learning web design.

As a result, it didn’t take very long to get my first few customers. And as my client base grew, so did the demand for my services. But I was looking to take my business to the next level.

1999 – 2014 River Valley Hosting & Web Design

By mid-1999, I was working and making more with my “side-hustle” than I was working my “real” job. So I began researching what I needed to register my business with a new name in the state of Pennsylvania. And in September of that year, my new company was officially born.

Formerly River Valley Hosting & Web Design, now C. E. Snyder Marketing LLC

Anyway, I made the name change because then I was offering more than just web design services. A big step forward was obtaining the necessary tools and resources to offer website hosting services. Additionally, I was offering SEO, eCommerce development and so much more.

But 2014 was a hard year!

And then in late-2013, I began having some issues with my health. I was stubborn, ignoring the writing on the wall that my days as a firefighter were coming to an end. So by March 2014 I had lost my job and not too long after that, I lost almost everything else.

Since January 2014, my company was hemorrhaging customers. I made the announcement that I was no longer going to offer web hosting services. So with that news, my base for web design work shriveled and dried up too.

It took me more than a year to get my health problems under control. Money was tight, so I did no marketing or advertising at all. And what was left of my business completely fell apart.

2016 and onward, C. E. Snyder Marketing LLC

So for the past 5 years, I have been working on building a new business. One that I can scale to new heights and creates jobs. But more importantly, an Internet Marketing Service that provides value and delivers results for our clients and their businesses.

Since late 2016, Ann began learning the ropes of digital marketing. This was my first step in building that world-class team. And she has been an invaluable member ever since.

So now we are looking to expand our team again. However, 2020 has been a rough year for small businesses all across the U.S. But we are now also ready to get past this COVID-19 crap and move forward!
