Advertising

Although consumers have come to expect a website is the primary method used by a company to advertise their wares, print advertising remains a critical component of marketing as well. Depending on your product or service, display advertising in trade publications may be one of the best ways to get noticed. When advertising in an inudstry-targeted market, a company is virtually guaranteed to reach those mostly likely to buy their products.

Most publications today provide digital versions of their magazines as well, giving advertisers a 2-for-1 bang for their advertising buck. Many of these online magazines even display their advertisiers in a separate section on their websites, making them easy to locate while providing additional exposure. These online ads also provide valuable links directly to your website. Now that's tough to beat!

Branding

When you think of a business, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the products or services they sell? Do you visualize what their logo looks like? We all know what's inside the shiny, red can with scrolled white letters and everyone in the developed world knows what the yellow arches sell. Is it necessary that a logo reflects what a company sells or does? How do you as the consumer perceive a company when examining them through a visual lens? One thing is for sure, company's like Coca Cola and McDonald's have created an association with their brand recognized world-wide. Others, such as REI and Toys R Us have logos that give a pretty good indication of what they do.

How important is it that your business reflect your products and services in your logo and subsequent branding? At Q, understanding the mission, the mind and the heart of our client companies are key factors when designing a logo that reflects the individuality of each customer. In understanding these characteristics, we can create an association between you and your customers that builds awareness, brand recognition and loyalty.

Collateral

What is collateral anyhow? Basically anything printed that brands and promotes your business. Some may question the relevancy of these items given the dominance of electronic media, but, believe it or not, the role of printed media remains a critical component to any marketing strategy. Think for a moment how these four items might impact your business:

Business Card: The first opportunity to shed light on what your company might look like to a prospective customer. Think of how many employees you have and how many customers they interact with every day. Now multiply that and you can see how easy - and affordably - it is to be in so many places at once!

Brochure: Communicates what your company does, how they do it and why you're the best! Content is succinct yet informative; compelling and convincing. Can be designed as a mail piece; for manual distribution; display rack or in electronic communications. Countless design and branding options.
Corporate Merchandise: T-Shirts, pens, awards, magnets, carpets, you name it. The options for branding your company on logo'd merchandise are endless. These items can create incredible goodwill with your staff, clients and future customers whose impact is seen and felt for a very, very long time.

Promotional Flyer: A call to action whose message stresses a sense of urgency. Great way to draw attention to a "special deal."

Copywriting

Copywriting is, quite simply, the act of writing advertisements or promotional material. Well, if it were that easy, all advertised products and services would sound too good to resist! We all learned to write in school, but how many actually enjoyed it - or were good at it - is another matter.

A good wordsmith is an invaluable tool in your marketing chest. At Q we take pride in our craft and derive great satisfaction at being able to convey our customer's products and services in such a way they really are too good to resist! What's our secret? Passion for all things wonderful and the insatiable quest to convey the mission of our clients.

Whether your project involves a new website filled with in-depth resource material, or is a one-page electronic newsletter, how your message is written and received is paramount to the success of your efforts. Communicating that message in a concise and consistent manner across all forms of collateral is yet another element not to be missed. Sound daunting? Have no fear, Q is here!

Graphic Design

Imagery sparks an emotion that should elicit a call to action which is clear and compelling. It should tell a story that draws people in such a way they can't imagine being elsewhere. Design should be intriguing, captivating and compelling. Sometimes simple and subliminal, other times complex and heart wrenching.

Setting a tone, creating a theme and applying it throughout all elements of a company's advertising components is what does best. From start to finish, we can design, create and print all of your masterpieces.

Social Media

Ah, the new buzz words. By now everyone has heard of Facebook and Twitter. How about Linkedin and Yelp? Maybe you use these social media tools to keep in touch with your friends, but have you considered using social media as a way to market your business?

Did you know you can add a "widget" (like one of the icons below) to your website that links to your Facebook page and Twitter posts? How about Yelp? Did you know these efforts can affect your search results, thus increasing your visibility on the web?

Web Design

Remember when websites were created by paying a custom programmer a fortune to design a static HTML website? Then, once it was launched you'd walk away and never look at it again? Well, that couldn't be further from the truth today! For a website to attract and keep a customer, the content must be interesting, relevant and up-to-date. How can this be achieved? Give the customer control of editing their content. No way you say? If you can edit a Word document, then you can edit one of our websites.
