Tue, 08 Feb 2011 05:13:00 -0800 Web Design is just another string to Stratique's bow ... http://www.stratique.com/web%20design%20services.html http://stratique.posterous.com/web-design-is-just-another-string-to-stratiqu http://stratique.posterous.com/web-design-is-just-another-string-to-stratiqu

Web design is a very competitive and saturated market in the Midlands. With advances in modern web design software packages, DIY web design is now a reality, which many graphic designers and one man bands now use to make attractive websites.

However this approach is unlikely to get you high up the search engine rankings, or equip you with the knowledge on how to attract more visitors and convert them into paying customers.

Graphic website design is just one small part of the internet marketing mix. The main critical success factors lie with integrating your web design strategy and your web copywriting into your web design as a process driven business activity.

Not only will you need eye catching graphic design and a web design navigation system that makes it simple for your users to find the right information, but unless you give your visitors the right information for their specific needs your web design will be ineffective.

As we are an agency we can offer much more then web design. We can manage your website to ensure that it is regularly updated, Search Engine Opimisation, and Social Media that links to your website.

If you are tired of an under performing web design or e-commerce website and want to start generating cash for your business website, please call Stratique Marketing And Design on 0845 226 3095 for a free consultation on how to develop your web design

Why Do Customers Leave You?

The minority will leave due to a bad experience.  Others will leave because they have no emotional connection to your brand and so therefore only consider price, but most (some surveys say as many as 70%) of the customers and clients whose business you lose take it elsewhere because they simply feel neglected, anonymous and unimportant to you.

Doesn't it therefore make sound business sense to communicate with them every month by a variety of method, from email, personalised letters, telephone "research" calls and through social media groups?

 

Is customer loyalty management a part of your 2011 marketing plan?  If not, it should be!

 

Not got the time or resources? Call the Stratique Marketing, design and PR team today. Our low-cost client retention communications packages start from just £99/week

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 02:32:00 -0800 The benefits of using a full service agency such as Stratique... http://stratique.posterous.com/the-benefits-of-using-a-full-service-agency-s http://stratique.posterous.com/the-benefits-of-using-a-full-service-agency-s

Our full range of marketing services have been developed to improve your marketing strategies, your marketing communications and how your products and services are perceived.

 

The benefits of using a full service agency such as Stratique are significant.

  • Lower costs with design and print packages.
  • Ensure your activities focus on customer, attraction, customer communication and customer conversion.

 

There will be no confusion as to what are your objectives as everyone in the agency will have been briefed and there will be no variation as there would be if you were going to different agencies to fulfil your needs such as going to a PR agency, then and internet marketing agency and then to a separate company for your printing needs.

 

The relationship that we build with your company is also key. When signing up to one of our monthly packages, we have a monthly meeting to discuss how the activities are working, discuss any new ideas that we have for new projects. We also look at what is being successful and also what is not, and then adapt the plan to suit what is working well so you get the most out of your marketing budget.

 

How our agency works is also unique. Each member of the team has there speciality and its like having your own expert in PR, Social Media, SEO, marketing strategy and a graphic designer in house, but at a much more reasonable rate.

 

We can also offer a printing service for any of your needs. This goes hand in hand with our events management capabilities. We can offer the whole package for your event, we can organise it, print all or the invites and advertising, do pre and post event PR, send out all the invitations, and run the event. No event is too big or too small either. We have local contacts that help us run larger events using audio visual technology to really give your event the ‘WOW’ factor. We can also source light weight aluminium stands, ideal for the entrance of the event or for exhibitions, that slide together and disassemble to a small package that is durable and easy to store so it can be used again and again.

 

Stratique can offer and entire package to suit your needs no matter what it is you require.

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 05:57:00 -0800 How do you develop an Effective Marketing Strategy? http://stratique.posterous.com/how-do-you-develop-an-effective-marketing-str http://stratique.posterous.com/how-do-you-develop-an-effective-marketing-str

 

There are many guides and marketing models available for the development of an effective marketing plan, but before this is written it is important to evaluate your options to develop your business and marketing strategy.

Some of the elements you should consider from the outset are listed below and include:

 

What Are Your Primary Business Objectives

 

Have senior management agreed on a set of goals / aspirations and objectives?

Should these objectives be shared with the whole team? Where are you now and where do you see the business in 1year, 3 years and 5 years time. How are you going to get there, and what help do you need to achieve these goals? Do you have a resource plan to achieve your goals?

 

Target Markets

 

What are your target markets (Consumer, Business to business, government body etc?) What are their needs? What causes them problems and how can your product or service them more effectively than your competitors? What market sectors offer the best returns?

 

Sales Channels

 

What sales channels are available for you to target? Do different sales channels require a different product strategy, pricing strategy, or promotional strategy? Are you going to sell direct to the end user, through an agent or distributor, direct to independent retail, direct to major wholesalers or retailers, on the internet, mail order, TV etc?

 

Target Customers

 

Who are your potential customers and why would they buy from you and how will they find out about your products or services?

 

Market Positioning

 

Is your product or service offering added value? What is your unique selling point? Is your position in the market based on price or target segments of your market or by another. Have you a niche or mass market offering.

 

Brand Identity

 

What is your branding strategy? Is your logo clearly identifiable, is it protected and trademarked? Is your brand conveyed consistently throughout the organisation from your website to your product packaging?

 

Communications Strategy

 

What media should you be using to reach your target markets? Does your strategy include a wide range of communication methods including printed materials, the internet, PR, pay per click advertising and an internet marketing strategy / plan.
