Another Quarter of Explosive Revenue Growth for REL Translations

REL Translations experienced its third quarter of explosive growth in 2013, recording record year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter revenue growth. We continued to add new clients during the quarter and have kept up our marketing efforts, both on the ground and through social media and through search engine optimization, to ensure ongoing expansion of our client network.

Capital Region Cultural Oasis helps these businesses to build their social media audience and promote their products/services for free, demonstrating the power of reciprocal marketing, especially for small businesses.
