Marketing Materials with Punch-
How to Create Marketing Materials
that
Turn Prospects into Clients
Are
your marketing materials working for you or are they being thrown
away?
How valuable would it be to your
business to have attention-grabbing, revenue-producing materials
that you can use for the life of the business?
Learn the techniques the large
advertising agencies use to help their
Fortune 500 clients!
Most businesses have a deficiency of effective, professional
marketing materials on hand. They rely on the old tri-fold
brochure which spends almost all its life in two places...your
shelves and your prospects' garbage cans.
Introducing the "marketing kit"...a
creative foundation that large advertising agencies have been using
for Fortune 500 companies for decades. Impact Marketing has
partnered with a couple of the best graphic design and copywriting
partners to bring the kit to your business...and that means a
consistent brand and theme for years to come!
What would it be like to have
materials that could sell for you without you or your sales reps
being there?
The
marketing kit is based upon the Duct Tape Marketing methodology of
marketing system installation. The Duct Tape Marketing System
was chosen as a Forbes Favorite for small business and marketing.
AT&T, Hewlett Packard, Dell Computer and Intuit are just some of the
companies that extend the Duct Tape Marketing process to their
client base. The Duct Tape blog was
chosen as "Best Small Business Marketing Blog"
in 2004, 2005, and 2006 by the readers of
Marketing Sherpa. Harvard Business School
features The Duct Tape Marketing system and
teachings as part of business school education. The Duct
Tape Marketing System has been featured in
Wall Street Journal, Inc. Magazine, Entrepreneur
Magazine & CNN Money.
Impact Marketing serves as one of the
premier Certified Coaching Organizations of the Duct Tape Marketing
methodology and have helped numerous clients grow using
the system.
Why are your
materials being discarded?
The old model of "here's what we do so give us a
call so we can come sell to you" is no longer effective. The
tri-fold brochure follows this outdated methodology...and there are
plenty of "marketing
companies" that still produce them. The
problem is that your prospects are hit with a few hundred marketing
messages every day and simply don't have the time to figure out how
you can help them.
Effective marketing today consists of developing
compelling messages that draw prospects to you. And they're an
essential companion tool for your sales force.
A New Yet Classic Approach
Effective marketing is defined as getting people
who have a need to know, like and trust you. Your marketing
materials can help you by guiding your prospects through that path
and shorten the sales cycle or they can sabotage the process
and push them toward your competition.
Large companies have contracted with the big ad
agencies for years in guiding their prospects by developing a
marketing/creative foundation that informs, educates and sells and
includes themes and branding. This foundation can then be used
in all promotional tactics going forward.
The Marketing Kit is a
collection of carefully crafted files that help you present the best
case for why a prospect should buy your products and services.
The kit consists of-
-
