10. TESTIMONIAL
“We knew we had to launch an aggressive Internet
marketing program to be competitive in our market, but
we could never get any real traction until WSI arrived. WSI
brings tremendous value to Mardi Gras Gaming because
they worked hard to understand the essence of our
positioning and focused on our most important revenue
streams. WSI’s SEO program in particular has had a
dramatic impact on our business".
