Keep your website usable & looking fresh

In 2018, all areas of brand communication is highly influenced by technology, and as we know technology moves at an incredible speed, constantly improving upon itself. 

It is important that your brands website remains fresh and current from both a visual and usability stand point. Not only do websites need to be easy to navigate, search engines, such as Google, have been enforcing usability and technology standards for a number of years now. 

Not to mention the subconscious impression a modern and professional looking design has on the users opinion of your brand. We have found that a website should be refreshed at minimum every 2-3 years in order to stay current.

Go beyond search terms with Google Adwords extended ad options

Google’s Adwords has many benefits including near immediate, highly targeted traffic with great keyword tracking and conversion analytics. We would suggest this as a staple for your ongoing advertising spend.

In addition to the popular search ads, Adwords also offers several other great options to further increase your brand presence across the web. 

You may have seen product results now displayed alongside search results in the form of an image with purchasing options. This extension of Adwords, combined with Google Merchant Centre is perfect for any product based brands. Couple it with display and video ads targeted at your website users and email subscribers and Adwords becomes a truly powerful solution for increased sales.

It is essential to ensure the same message and consistent look and feel is translated effectively to the varying sizes and formats one encounters across print, web, outdoor and social. Variables such as viewing time, visual size, device, location, colour reproduction and much more, all need to be taken into account for effective delivery of your message.

Construct regular email newsletters with drag-and-drop ease

Regular email campaigns or newsletters are a great way to keep your brand in front of your existing and potential customers.

All of the above can be completed under the popular Campaign Monitor email marketing platform, which we adopted early last year.

Campaign Monitor boasts a great drag and drop tool set for email creation. With a set of preset content modules, tailored to your needs, your content will look great and work to effectively drive traffic, leads or online sales.

Great looking photography reinforces a quality product

So many great brands that provide high quality products or services fall short of their potential with bad photography. Yes, smartphones these days do take high quality images, however, they are not able to replicate the skills that a professional photographer will be able to bring to the table.

Professional photography is not just point and shoot, it goes much deeper, to correct scene positioning, lighting, sourcing of actors, and to even producing images with a particular mood that is reflective of you brands values and tone.

Give customers the best impression of your brand and products, go with professional photography.
