In an attempt to limit their impact on the environment many companies have gone green by adopting a paperless system, starting a recycling program and implementing programs to maximize computer efficiency and electricity. But when it comes to announcing your “green” changes an email or environment unfriendly announcement simply won’t do. The best way is to make a direct statement to your customers and prospects by sending them an eco-friendly promotional product.

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010The Importance of a Good Logo
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Your logo is often the first impression customers have of your company, so what does your logo say about your business? Companies like Apple, McDonald’s and Starbucks took the time to have a logo designed that consumers around the world will instantly recognize. So you don’t have a multi-million dollar budget to brand your logo to everyone, but even if you’re a small business you still need a good logo that your target audience will recognize.
If you’re walking down a busy high street and you see an advertisement for a company like Nike. Now, you might not see the product, but you see the Nike logo.

Utilizing Backend Marketing
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Backend Marketing is the strategy of continually marketing your products and services to customers and turning one time customers into loyal clients. This strategy is vital to the continued success of your company. If you haven’t adopted this strategy as yet you’re leaving money on the table.

Full Ship Charters
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010The thought of taking over an entire cruise ship for an exclusive and private event may seem farfetched to you, but I can tell you it is much more common today than it was just a few years ago. Yes, the current economic climate has slowed down the number of companies and individuals chartering ships in 2009 and since 2010 began, yet this practice is alive and well.
With the increase in the popularity of cruising, a number of new cruise companies entered the travel market which further expanded the variety of cruise options available to customers. As this popularity increased so did the use of cruise ships as an incentive to top executives. A few decades ago it was usually the larger or more progressive corporations that chose cruise ships as a travel reward for their top sales people or dealers. This practice has continued throughout the years and is still a popular option today. Are you wondering how these cruise lines have managed to promote cruise charters to small and large corporations? But of course, with the help of an experienced marketing team that knows the companies to contact and the right sales techniques to use. (more…)
