SMALL BUSINESS PROFILES
Sunrize uses simple solutions to make business uncomplicated
“We are just regular people who happen to have a unique ability to take a client’s objectives and goals and help the client achieve them using the Internet.”
Randy Wolgemuth realized early on that in our global and competitive marketplace, businesses needed to better utilize the power of the Web to be able to thrive. In 2001, Wolgemuth launched the Sunrize Group from his home base in Winnipeg.
The Sunrize Group provides specialized Internet strategies to enhance an organization’s business presence on the Web by taking already developed modules and customizing them to best fit the client’s needs.
Their customer base spans all company sizes, from small to large. Their varied clientele range from professional sports associations to not-for-profit organizations and church groups.
Wolgemuth combines 30 years in the business with the expertise of his three full-time associates, plus 25 subcontractors. Clients can expect tailor-made, concept-to-completion solutions, whether they need intelligent Web solutions or marketing and creative strategies.
“We always ask the client two very important questions before we start: What are your objectives and what are the goals that you hope to achieve?” says Wolgemuth. “Based on that discussion, we formulate a plan which clearly outlines the project, along with the associated costs. All projects are priced out upfront so there are no surprises midway through.”
Sunrize brings innovation to a diverse number of Web sites-basic to complex-and provides their clients with a full suite of marketing and creative services, hosting and media streaming services, and e-Commerce applications.
As a successful business owner, Wolgemuth knows the value of networking with other entrepreneurs. Enjoying the opportunity to meet with other business owners at a recent STAPLES BizLaunch seminar, he adds that he took away “good advice about running a small business along with some very practical tips.”
As for the future of Sunrize? “We are actively promoting growth,” says Wolgemuth, “and are in the planning stages of setting up a Support Department to better serve our growing client base.”
Sunrise sums it all up in their mission statement: “Our simple solutions make Business Uncomplicated.” It’s easy to understand why businesses of all sizes turn to Sunrize when seeking real solutions in a challenging global market. Says Wolgemuth, “I really feel that the Internet is a great tool for small businesses competing with big businesses; however, the personal touch cannot be replaced by the Internet. Personalized service combined with the Internet makes a winning combination that can help a business succeed.”
