Words That Work as Hard as You
By D. Menikoff Design is important. No one will deny that. However, it’s the message itself - no matter what font or background color you use that is the point. Let’s look at that message. What does your content say about you? Does it reflect your most current work? Does it make people pick up the phone, place the order, buy the book? It should. Those words should work as hard as you do. They can’t just sit and wait for a pair of eyes to light upon them. They need to transform browsing into a call to action. Choosing a Method of Delivery Content doesn’t travel on it’s on. You have to choose the right vehicle to deliver it. That’s what marketing and promotional materials are for. What have your materials done for you lately? Do they look and feel dated? Has your business changed so that they no longer reflect what you do? Maybe they just don’t hang together - the result of piecemeal development done on an “as needed” basis. It’s time to give them a good going over and create an integrated and true reflection of what you have to say and what you offer your audience. By ensuring all your marketing components have a similar look and feel as well as a consistency of message and tone, you are reinforcing your brand and image. Pieces that are all over the place water than branding down and often confuse consumers. Confused consumers call someone else. If you’re a start up, you may not have existing marketing materials. So where do you begin? Newsletters, press releases, a Web site, e-cards, sales kits, direct mail — the array of marketing or promotional pieces you have to chose from can be daunting. Think carefully about the message you want to get out and relationship you are trying to build with your market those decisions will help guide you to the right marketing tools. And after you’ve chosen your tools, you need to make sure they all work as hard individually as they do together. One of the most powerful communications tools these days is, of course, the Internet. Word Magnets The Internet makes it possible to deliver more information, quickly, to more people these days than ever before. Is it any wonder then that the number of sites is growing by leaps and bounds every day - every hour? Of course not. Making a Web site is easy. Making a Web site an effective and useful communication tool is a bit more involved. Top-notch effective Web content is absolutely vital if you want to get the most out of your online real estate. It’s the key to getting people to your site, converts browsers to users and serves as the hook that keeps them coming back. First you have to show the potential customers the way and online, that means SEO. SEO (search engine optimization) means that your text isn’t just sitting on the screen. It’s working for you even before users get to the site. Careful word selection, placement of text within the site and meta data selection will affect your search engine placement.
