The
services we offer clients include:-
Advertising
Be it a one off advertisement or a campaign lasting 6 months, we can
identify the areas clients need to target and the medium needed to
get their message across.
Public
Relations (PR)
PR is about reputations, preserving and promoting good ones and repairing
bad ones.
We can help clients keep their names in front of the people and organisations
that matter to them and monitor the press activity of competitors.
Event
Management
Be it a business conference for 100 people, a networking lunch or
organising a wedding fair and comparing the bride's fashion show we
can do it (we have done it!). The key to a successful event is planning,
planning and then more planning. The sooner the planning starts on
a project the better it will be.
Direct
Marketing
Direct marketing is one of the areas in which we are most frequently
asked to help our clients.
More often than not a client's data usually needs to be checked for
duplicates to ensure that the addressees are still where clients think
they are.
If databases need supplementing mailing lists can be obtained from
one of the many hundreds of specialist mailing lists offered by list
brokers. Once a list is prepared we can retain a mailing house to
fold, insert and mail your campaign. The savings that can be made
on postage through selecting the right mailing house and mailing tariff
can in many instances pay for the printing costs and list rental.
Market
Research
What are the fashions? What are the trends? What are your competitors
doing? What would your customers like you to do that you do not at
present? At its simplest market research is telling you what is happening
in your business/industry.
We can assist and obtain the information clients need on which to
base their strategic decisions
Project
Planning
We
can assist clients with identifying projects and help bring them to
fruition.
It sounds perverse, but the time to plan and carry out marketing activity
is when a client is busy. If marketing is left until there is a downturn
in the work it may be too late!
Corporate
Design
Be it producing a new corporate image, newsletter, brochure or a website
we can assist.
At PDQ we work with a range of talented designers to ensure that our
clients get the designs that they want at the time it was promised
and within the budget agreed
Sometimes it is necessary to retain specialist copy writers, if for
example you want to produce a brochure extolling the technological
virtues of your latest EPOS system (Electronic Point of Sale
.in
case you are interested), we will tell you and find the right person
for you.
Brochures
There is a saying within the marketing industry "You get one
chance to make a first impression".
What does your literature say about you? It is known that many decisions
to buy suppliers goods and services are often based on information
contained in their brochure.
We try and ensure that out clients brochures are relevant and effective
for their needs.
Websites
Like them or loathe them they are here to stay.
We assist in the design, writing and building of our clients websites
and visit them frequently to ensure that they are kept up to date
(there is nothing worse than a website which features events and/or
pricelists which are two years old!). We also monitor our client's
competitors websites so that our clients are not left behind in the
communications race.
Whether you need a brochure style web site (the kind of thing you
are looking at here) or an interactive e-commerce solution, we can
through our network of consultants ensure that you get the right package
for your needs
Newsletters
Keeping in touch with clients and customers is essential in this competitive
environment. The easiest way to do so is by a newsletter either a
printed or e mail version.
At PDQ we write a number of newsletters for clients ranging from property
related issues to the latest happenings at a restaurant.
Photography
A picture can paint a thousand words so they say.
We have connections with picture libraries that have hundreds of thousands
of images to choose from that can be used for promotional purposes.
If you need photographs of your products or staff we can arrange for
a specialist in the field to undertake this project.
