What is this thing called Marketing?

02-07-2013

To many people, marketing something means being flashy and pushy. It means telling someone thatthey have to buy something. However, successful marketing doesn’t involve“telling” or “forcing” people to buy what you’re selling. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite: it means showing someone what your product or service can do, and explaining why exactly it can help them.

In short, it means that you need to figure out the needs of your customers and determine how what you offer can fill those needs. Good marketing also means that you need to build a relationship with your customers so that you can fulfill their needs now and determine what their needs might be in the future.

Social media is an excellent way to build relationships with customers, but you still need to take into account more traditional types of marketing, including advertising with compelling graphic design. A successful marketing campaign has to think about several aspects of the relationship-building process, such as:

·
 Determining your target audience.
· Understanding the wants and needs of your target audience, and how you can fulfill those wants and needs.
· Informing potential customers about your productor service through multiple avenues.

This last bullet point is also known as “building buzz”.Once you’re actually ready to deliver your product to your customers, you also have to make sure you can do so quickly and efficiently. Poor delivery can affect your customers’ opinions of you and your product, which leads to bad buzz, which leads to – you guessed it – poor future sales.

This is why Exclaim is one of your best options for marketing services and graphic design in Toronto. Not only do we offer excellent web design, print design, and consulting services for your brand, but we do so in an integrated manner to provide you with a seamless product.

What is Graphic Design?

02-07-2013

Graphic design has one goal: using visual elements like text and colour to communicate information in a way that is easy for people to understand. Wherever you go, everything you see – street signs, products on store shelves, posters, advertisements and more - is a product of graphic design.

In order for your marketing campaign to be a success, you have to think about what message you want to convey to your customers, whether it’s through a website, newsletter, or commercial. A graphic designer will help you use colour, shape, typography and contrast to make sure that your company’s product or service will look compelling and memorable to customers.

A good graphic designer will want to know as much about your needs as possible: Who is your target audience? Will your advertisement be in print or online? What is your brand, and how do you want to make it stand out in a crowded marketplace?

When crafting a marketing campaign, you and your graphic designer will have to consider several important elements, including:
  • - How to make sure that your campaign looks interesting and dynamic while still keeping it consistent with other aspects of  your brand.
  • - What your competitors are doing, and whether their efforts have been successful.
  • - How to adapt your campaign to different mediums (e.g., print, online, TV, etc).

A good designer should be able to communicate well and come up with several different ideas to get the ball rolling. However, true success rests in collaboration – graphic design is very much a process of getting out what you put in, and involves more than just drawing or working with Photoshop. A graphic designer can often provide other services like consulting and user experience design. The more information you’re willing to give your designer, and the more suggestions you’re willing to take from them, the better.

Marketing in a busy, growing city like Toronto requires a special combination of high-quality skills and local knowledge.  If you’re looking for graphic design experts that understand Toronto’s marketplace, Exclaim Marketing, Print, and Web is an excellent choice. Exclaim is an independent creative agency that focuses on working with small and medium-sized business to help them deliver an effective message and gain visibility.
