“Outsourcing of Advertising and Marketing activities is the trend”, says Stellar Concepts and Design

December 21st, 2009

The life blood of any business is its ‘Marketing Department’. Though it is a cost centre but its significance is unavoidable. An efficient marketing work force can make a business grow and diversify limitlessly. But it involves a huge amount of cost to the company. The cost includes hiring of professional marketers, training if required, salary to be given to them, and many more. Thus, smart business people are signing contracts with outsourcing companies that provide ready made trained professional marketers to handle the marketing and advertising department of the company. This can save cost of the company and it can also have more time to focus on things with a high priority.

Stellar Concepts and Design is one such outsourcing company that accepts projects from different businesses and handles their marketing department. They offer many activities such as web design, online promotion, offline promotion, printing, branding, etc. and also charge a very reasonable price.

“We are a one-stop shop to fulfill your company’s entire marketing and advertising needs. If you have decided to outsource your company’s marketing activities, the best thing you did to the entire business is that you gave a professional direction and also reduced a lot of burden from your employees. Still there are companies that sign up outsourcing contracts with more than one company for their marketing and advertising, as they do not get an entire package deal from such companies. They will have to go to different company for their company’s website designing, printing, TV commercials, online promotion, etc. This consumes a lot of time and money of the business and also all the internal data is revealed in front of many other advertising companies”, says Anthony Giudice, President and Founder of Stellar Concepts and Design.

“Instead of opting for two or three companies for your marketing needs, you can select a company that offers you a complete package. Stellar Concepts and Design has a competitive edge over many other marketing companies. Our customers can drop their entire burden of promoting their business to our heads, and then the job is ours to gain client satisfaction. Our employees are well-qualified and trained professional and they possess all knowledge, skills and experience to handle all tasks effectively and efficiently”, explains Anthony Giudice.

Thus, if you want to take a smart move then start implementing your plans of outsourcing and get started right away.

“Effective marketing campaign can help the companies to reap the benefits of growth stage,” says Stellar Concepts and Design

December 9th, 2009

“Friday, the 4th November’09, gave our economy a number that is though not so relieving about rising U.S. unemployment, but the best so far since the day recession engulfed the economy. According to White House Report, 640,000 jobs have been created or saved by the $787 billion stimulus package. The report also projects that the stimulus money would create or save 3.5 million jobs by December 2010. Though it is hard to come to the conclusion at this point of time as the small size of gain is indeed smaller than the jobs lost, it is however, an indication of the growth stage. This will also impact the hiring decisions and marketing activities of Companies as they prepare themselves for the survival of the fittest. And, the best way to reap the benefits of this phase is to design marketing campaign effectively,” opines Anthony Giudice, President and Founder of Stellar Concepts and Design.

Stellar Concepts and Design, nation’s one of the leading full service marketing and advertising companies specializing in all areas of marketing (both online and offline), has been offering affordable marketing campaigns for small to medium sized businesses and help them to continue their mark in any phase of economy (down, recovery, boom) and improve the market share.

Market is an unpredictable place where the environment keeps on changing. To sustain in the market a Company adopts two marketing strategies viz; Proactive Strategy and a Reactive Strategy. When a business acts after an occurrence of a change it is called as a Reactive Strategy whereas when the company plans to do something on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a change it is called as a Proactive Strategy. A strong company prepares itself for every change and is ready to mould themselves by their pre-planned strategies. Hence, a proactive approach can help the companies absorb the shock and run smoothly in any phase of economy.

“Stellar Concepts and Design will help companies save their unnecessary financial expenses. We are giving them the option to outsource their marketing and promotional activities. They can save themselves from suffering a huge amount of loss by not taking the risk of implementing marketing plans that are made in-house by people who lack the required knowledge, experience and expertise. We have many years of experience and expertise in this field and we have the confidence of taking your business to the right track, in the right market, within the right segment”, concludes Anthony Giudice.

“Digital Advertising is the latest trend”, says Stellar Concepts and Design

October 6th, 2009

According to e-Marketer, the world’s leading provider of internet statistics, the U.S Online Advertising Spending will continue to grow, rising from nearly 10% this year to slightly more than 15% in 2013. The main reasons being; Marketers are spending more on Internet ads, and less on traditional media. Shifts in the media landscape due to technological revolution, consumer behavior and economics have triggered everybody who has a business to acquire their online share.

Anthony Giudice, the founder and president of a leading advertising company, Stellar Concepts and Design briefly explains the steps to follow for successful digital marketing. He explains, “Digital Advertising is the latest trend. The first step for promoting a business in internet is to create a website. A website is a guide which will answer the doubts of customers. It should be attractive, complete and explanatory. The impression of a product, service or a business depends upon the website design. Hence, you must be very particular in choosing your website design.”

“The next step is to continuously update your website with the latest offers, news, etc. You will also have to increase your website ranking in various search pages.”

The technical term for this step is ‘Search Engine Optimization’ or SEO. A few SEO strategies are:

  • Domain Name Strategy: The domain name of your website must be either relevant to your product or must be very common and easy to remember. It helps the users to immediately enter your website name and this can increase the volume of traffic. Web spider will also then increase your website ranking and thus you can achieve optimization in popular search engine.
  • Key Word Strategy: This is done by Web Site Designers wherein they choose some keywords for your website which is very commonly searched by internet users. The keyword density must be 7 out of 100 words in your website.
  • Link Building Strategy: Creating inbound and outbound links to your website is an excellent strategy to optimize your organic search. Almost all search engines rank websites more highly if they are linked to by other well-respected websites. Having thousands of links in many websites are of no use. A few but relevant links helps a lot to make your SEO task successful.

“If your website is designed on the basis of these strategies then you will be placed in the first page of any search engine”, informs Giudice.

He further adds, “If you feel your task is over here, let me tell you that this is just the opening door to the digital marketing world. You are entering in a Web 2.0 world where anyone can write anything they feel. Any unsatisfied customer or employee can publish any negative comments about your product or business at any point of time. To resolve this we can do ‘Search Engine Reputation Management’ or SERM. This can help us to avoid any negative publicity about the business. We can push down one negative comment by adding 10 more positive comments to avoid any damage to our reputation.”

Stellar Concepts and Design is a leader in digital medial advertising which includes both traditional as well as digital marketing (website design, SEO, SERM) packages. “We offer everything possible for your successful marketing, advertising and promotional activities with prices that can surprise you. The best way to succeed is to keep pace with the latest technology and current trends”, he signs off.

The effectiveness of digital marketing can actually be tracked through Google Analytics which in turn will prepare the company to analyze its move strategically. Digital marketing is the best option for budget-conscious businesses.

Stellar Concepts and Design says “a steady and a strategic Marketing plan will make a Business win the race in long run’

September 11th, 2009

It is a general pattern seen in every company that they do not spend continuously on advertisement. They have a tendency of spending more when the sales are down and less when they feel that they are getting enough profits. That’s when the competitors try to grab the opportunity and they jump in the market to attract all the customers towards their product. So all the money spent before was lost due to this pattern of investment in advertising.

“It is imperative that you keep up with a steady advertising and marketing plan as the sales you see today are from advertising and hard work you did months ago.  Therefore it is a must that all businesses get on a strategic marketing and advertising plan now, considering a huge surge in business as the economy continues to improve and grow.  Companies, certainly, do not want to miss their window of opportunity by not advertising when their competitors are,” suggests Anthony Giudice, Founder and President of Stellar Concepts and Design.

Being, successfully, in business for 12 years, Stellar Concepts and Design has helped hundreds of businesses with their all kinds of marketing and advertising needs at an affordable price.

“We believe in maintaining long-term relationship with our clients while giving value for their money. The Affordability and Quality of our services are the two main reasons for having the long-term clients, returning clients, referral clients with new ones keep coming in. Hence, our business never felt the stress of slowdown,” rejoices Anthony Giudice.

Business without advertising and marketing is like a cake without sugar and icing. It has been noticed since ages that an awareness of your product can give you returns that you can never imagine of. Your efforts should not be eaten away by a few competitors just because you are trying to save your pocket.

According to a media study conducted by Yankelovich Partners and Harris Interactive, more than 85% of business executives believe advertising in any economy is extremely important.

“If you are trying to hold back your investment on marketing and advertising due to its high cost, then Stellar Concepts and Design is here to give you attractive and affordable package of a strategic Marketing and Advertising plan that will benefit your business both in short and long run.” Giudice signs off.

Building an online community for your business

August 10th, 2009

London, UK ( Prfriend ) August 7, 2009 – It’s certainly something lots of marketing experts are talking about, but just how small businesses should go about building an online community is harder to understand. Ben Dyer has built a 10,000 member community for his business and he shares the lessons he’s learned in a new article on Marketing Donut.

Dyer says that while a community is a powerful way to engage with your customers, building one requires patience and perseverance.

“For every community I have seen fail due to lack of traffic, two have the plug pulled because of a perceived lack of progress” he says.

Dyer says the other key ingredients of success are: leadership, ground rules, taking criticism on the chin, and making sure the community caters to everyone, not just the “fanatics”.

“Running a community is hard work, but it can be a fantastically rewarding experience for both you and your customers. The reality is that if you have a successful company, product or service, your customers will be talking about you anyway. What you need to decide is whether you are willing to facilitate the conversation.”

Backed by Google and Royal Mail, Marketing Donut is a free marketing resource that’s been developed specially for small business. Practical and no-nonsense, Marketing Donut covers all aspects of small business marketing, from branding through to internet marketing, from direct marketing through to generating PR for your business.

Why giveaways are good for business

July 18th, 2009

London, UK ( Prfriend ) July 17, 2009 – Making your most valuable customers feel valued with a carefully-selected gift could deliver the same return as a direct mail to 1000 people or an advert in the local newspaper, says a new expert article on free small business marketing resource Marketing Donut.

“Merchandising might seem like an unnecessary cost during the recession, but if you set clear objectives and select the right merchandise for your target audience, it can generate a valuable return on investment,” says the article on Marketing Donut.

The article says merchandising delivers benefits such as: connecting with customers, raising awareness of the business, and driving sales.

Marketing Donut expert Andy Preston says that with merchandising it’s important to be clear about what you want to achieve. “For example, do you want customers to sign up to your newsletter and communicate with you more, or to drive new customers to your website and increase online sales?”

It’s also important to choose an item of merchandise that’s appropriate for your business.

“So if you’re in financial services you could portray your reliability with something practical, and if you’re in the leisure sector, you should create something fun. For example, a go-kart business could distribute wind-up mini racers.”

The article also has advice about choosing suppliers and methods of distribution.

Marketing Donut is a free marketing resource that’s backed by Google and Royal Mail. It’s got thousands of expert tools and information covering all aspects of small business sales and marketing.

The Importance Of Marketing During A Recession

June 22nd, 2009

Ft. Lauderdale, FL—Michael Cohen, President of one of South Florida’s leading full service advertising agencies, Cohen and Company Creative, Inc. encourages businesses to continue their marketing efforts despite a challenging economy.

“Often times during a down economy, marketing and advertising falls into the category that companies cut from their budgets first, and that ultimately does more harm than good.  Marketing and advertising is an investment in the future growth and survival of a company,” said Cohen.

“With a tough economy and competition that is more aggressive than ever, businesses should recognize that now is the time to forge ahead. This is a great opportunity to pick up market share and stand out from the competition instead of fade away,” Cohen said.

Cohen explains that marketing can put a company in a much better position now and in the future.

“Removing marketing from your company can make it very difficult for customers to find you and if you don’t have business, then unfortunately you could go out of business. It is important to maintain your advertising budget so you don’t have to play catch-up to regain lost market share.   Companies who loose share of mind loose share of market and in the end, it costs more to return to the former level of customer awareness.”

“Many people have a preconceived notion that marketing has to be expensive to be effective, this is incorrect. It is however imperative that companies practice smart marketing by looking at how they target their consumers and the kinds of messages they convey. During a recession, the same old, same old no longer applies.  The needs of the consumer have changed and companies really need to examine their marketing and advertising strategies to incorporate the best plan of action.”

“People are still spending, companies just need to make sure that it is their business the consumer thinks of first”, Cohen concluded.

Cohen and Company Creative, Inc. is a full service advertising agency in South Florida.  The agency specializes in advertising, marketing, public relations, website optimization and social media marketing.  Founded in 1993, Cohen & Company Creative, Inc. ensures results for their clients through their experience in print and broadcast media, public relations, direct mail and Interactive marketing.

It Pays To Promote During a Recession

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) confirmed on December 1, 2008, that the U.S. economy has been in a recession since December 2007. Many economists believe the current recession will be the worst since the recession of 1981-82. Times are rough, but that doesn’t mean you should lower your advertising budget; you actually should maintain or raise it, or just advertise smarter.

A recent study by McGraw-Hill Research showed that companies that maintained or upped their advertising during the 1981–82 recession, had gains in sales in the short-run as well as the long-run. The McGraw-Hill Research study analyzed 600 companies from 1980 to 1985, and found those that advertised aggressively throughout the recession had sales 256% higher than ones who cut back on advertising.

For most companies during recessionary times, it is hard to maintain or even raise their advertising budget. This is why it’s important for companies to get the most return on their marketing budget investment. There are many types of advertising to choose from, but some work better than others. One form of advertisement is imprinting your company logo on promotional products that people use every day. It leaves a lasting impression much longer than an advertisement in the newspaper, on TV, or on the internet. Through the creative use of these products, companies can strengthen their brand and ultimately build their business. Promotional products will drive customers to your company website and or a physical retail location, which leads to measurable results. Data can also be captured for future marketing use.

Companies like Imprintables Etc. (www.imprintables-etc.com) have been in business for 20 years because this type of advertisement works. For a business, recession or not, it is very important to keep your company name in the minds of current and future customers. Research has shown that even during tough economic times, well planned marketing programs and strategic advertising pays off.  And then as the economy picks back up, they will be well positioned for continued growth.
