Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Internship
About Affordable Style
Founded in 2005, Affordable Style is a fast growing company that operates niche e-commerce stores in the discount apparel space. Five of Affordable Style's eight stores include SunglassWarehouse.com, HandbagHeaven.com, SilverTreats.com, ReadingGlassesShopper.com and AffordableScarves.com. Our profitable company is looking to grow by adding smart, energetic, customer oriented people to the team. This is a great opportunity for someone who is interested in learning about e-commerce, online marketing and being part of a close knit team in a high growth business. This is a very open office environment where information is readily shared and everyone's opinion counts. While a casual environment, work is fast paced and outstanding results are expected. We are very selective – whether selecting products, vendors or hiring employees in order to ensure a good fit.
The Position
Are you interested in pursuing the next generation of marketing? As it is capable of accurate targeting and easily tracked, search engine marketing has emerged as the weapon of choice for both up-and-coming and established online retailers. Affordable Style has embraced SEM since its inception and is currently looking for qualified and motivated students to join our team as we navigate the ever-changing road of e-commerce. With this position, you will have the chance to learn broad approaches and powerful strategies for the online retailing industry.
An internship with Affordable Style will allow you to gain experience in the field of search marketing. This internship offers an opportunity to be involved in all aspects of search engine marketing; from qualitative analysis of analytic reports, to every day operations like keyword research. You will also be able to participate in local networking activities with other professionals and local business leaders – meetings that can prove very beneficial to you when seeking employment post-graduation. Though you will be involved in several areas of search marketing, your duties will not include fetching anyone coffee. (Only one guy drinks it, and he gets his own.)
