Why You Should Work with a Local Marketing & Design Firm in Las Vegas

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

You might think you have a lot of reasons to work with a Marketing & Design agency outside of the Las Vegas area to help you market and promote your business or company. Reputation and experience are a couple of often-heard reasons.  Bigger firms and national and international firms are most likely not necessary to achieve your business and marketing objectives. If you are having a tough time trying to find the best fit for you and your marketing and design needs here in Las Vegas, read on.

Why you should be working with a local marketing and design firm in Las Vegas

  • Local Marketing and Design firms (like Perkolate) know the local Las Vegas market and all of the nuances involved in marketing your business or services here in Vegas and nationally.
  • Meet the company you hire to work with you on your marketing and web and graphic design projects face to face.  Nobody wants to work with people they haven’t met in person and have a relationship with.
  • A local company, like Perkolate, has done business within the community for many years (if they are reputable) and would know of a lot of resources and great connections to help you with your business or company.
  • Supporting businesses in your own community make your business and other Las Vegas businesses stronger.

5 New Year’s Resolutions to Help Your Company Grow in 2009

5 New Year’s Resolutions to Help Your Company Grow

Most of us set New Year’s Resolutions for ourselves… lose weight, give more to others, drink less coffee, etc. It is also important to set New Year’s Resolutions to market and grow your company or business.

In order to keep your company or business in the public’s eye and consideration set, you need to continue to market your products and services, even in a slower economy. If you don’t continue to market and promote your products and services, your competitors surely will.

Here are 5 “Resolutions” you might consider setting for your company in 2009:

  • Make time for strategy and growth - Sure, we are all busy, but setting time each week - even if it’s only an hour - to plan out how to market your company in 2009 and how to grow your business is very important.
  • Focus on the forest, not the tree - Many people can become overwhelmed thinking about what they would like to accomplish for their company. You should set goals for marketing your company, then the steps it will take to reach those goals. You might consider writing a marketing plan to help you plan out your ideas.
  • Keep website up to date - a very low cost way to keep your customers and clients informed is to keep your website up to date. Customers and potential customers do notice if your content is out of date.
  • Consider SEO for your website - Basic Search Engine Optimization can make your website visible to more potential customers when your website appears in more search engine results pages and higher in the rankings as well.
  • Ensure consistency in your marketing efforts - Do your company logo and your color scheme match on all of your materials across the board? Keeping things consistent visually is extremely valuable in ensuring a company looks professional… and trustworthy.

The Importance of Online Marketing in Las Vegas and Beyond

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Years ago, people could have afforded to turn a blind eye to Online Marketing, and yet had visibility for their company’s products and services on the internet. This is certainly no longer true.

With the Internet becoming a vast marketplace - and a competitive one at that - merely having a web presence is not enough. It is how you promote your company’s web presence that counts, especially in Las Vegas.

Findings from a Forrester Research Study

A Forrester Research study conducted on this issue puts things in better perspective. Over 867 businesses on the Internet across 21 domains were studied to find out different marketing tactics. Here’s what they found.

  • About 75% of marketing professionals believed in increasing their online marketing spend
  • 10% of the businesses planned to increase their online marketing spend by at least 30%
  • About 25% B2B businesses planned to diversify offline media into online media

These findings are enough to attach a numerical importance to Online Marketing. But the positive aspects of Online Marketing reach far beyond than mere numbers.

Importance of Online Marketing for a Business in Las Vegas and Beyond

  • Increases customer awareness about the company and its services – This is really the first step for a company to build a name for itself, especially in Las Vegas. People would be in a position to accept your company, but only if they know your company exists in Las Vegas and in cyberspace.
     
  • Allows your company to be on a level field with your local and national competitors – In a competitive niche, the last thing you would want is a competitor surging ahead of you. A lot of business owners have spent a lot of time thinking on how to gain an advantage with competitors. One of the best methods is to have an aggressive online marketing strategy.
     
  • Establishes brand identity – Online Marketing, if done properly and diligently, can do wonders for the brand identity of the company. Remember, at the end of the day, what counts is, how you present your company to potential customers. If you do it well, chances are that people will respond well.
     
  • A good lead generation exercise – The importance of leads to any business, whether it is a product-based business or a service-based venture, cannot be undermined at any stage. 
     
  • Gets traffic to your website – This is the big one! If your company is marketed well on the Internet, there is a chance at gaining significant traffic to your website, something both new and established companies need. That said, your business would always be well served with a well-thought-out online marketing strategy.

Some people say that it is the mass appeal that works for Online Marketing. Some say that it is the sheer numbers and the modus followed by an Online Marketing model. Whatever the reasons, the importance of online marketing cannot be ignored… not now, and not at any time in the future.
