The power of targeted Marketing

Most advertising, good and bad, happens when people are going about their daily business.

It’s everywhere!

A well-prepared presentation can make all the difference when it comes to successfully conveying your message to your audience. A well put together, clear, and concise presentation will keep them engaged and interested in what you have to say!

Your logo is way more than just a pretty visual, it should reflect the heart and soul of your business. It needs to represent the essence of your brand and showcase your businesses brand personality.

Branding, it's your Reputation

Whether you’re talking about your personal brand or your business, your brand is your reputation. It’s often unspoken and not something your consumers consciously decide on.

Why use illustration

Done right, illustrations are memorable, unique, and packed full of personality. A great illustration can draw the attention of the viewer, tell a story, or share an idea at a glance.

Competitor Research, The Key to Success

In this digital age, competition it seems is more rampant than ever and your customers have the upper hand. They can compare pricing and features at the click of a button, read your reviews and delve into your backstory all before they even have breakfast.

Everyone is not your customer

Who is your target audience? If you answered ‘everyone’ or ‘we cater to a wide audience’ you need to rethink your response. If you target everyone, you’re really targeting no one. 

Determining your target audience

It can be tempting to try and appeal to everyone in order to have a large pool of customers or followers, however this could be working against you. Being all things to all people often isn’t viable.

Principles of Design

When it comes to design, especially if you are a beginner, it’s best to adhere to the less is more philosophy. To make something both eye-catching and effective at delivering your message there are a few basic techniques that will help.

The Importance of Branding for Small Businesses

When we think of branding as small business owners, many of us often hold the belief that it’s a marketing strategy reserved just for the big boys, however that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Competitor Research, why it's important!

Competitor research enables you to understand your competition in detail, get to know your industry/market and gain a deeper understanding of what marketing strategies work with your target audience.

Successful Cross Promotion and how to do it

This month, we are going to talk about cross-promotion marketing. Working with other businesses that also service your ideal target audience is a great way to tap into a warm market of leads. How can you work together to help each other grow?

Word-of-mouth Strategies that work!

We trust heavily in the opinion of our friends and family so when you see a post from someone you know talking about the amazing experience they had with a business you usually file that away for future reference. Learn how to get them talking about you!

Why Good Design Matters

ood designs can help a company to attract and retain customers, while bad designs can drive customers away. Design isn’t just making something pretty, it’s a communication tool!
