Integrated Marketing Solutions. Not so very long ago, getting word out about your business meant that most of your advertising budget went on print media. Most businesses, especially the newer and smaller ones, didn’t have the money to go the TV route, so flyers, postcards and promotional products were the only real viable option for most. The internet changed that very quickly, and with the social networking craze continuing to grow on a daily basis, those same businesses discovered that multiple, more cost effective, marketing strategies were now available to them.
With so many marketing options now available, the costs can begin to rise again if a business decides to go the piece meal route and explore every avenue on an individual basis, but by exploring integrated marketing solutions, that same company can combine all those options into one neat, affordable package. Partnering with a trusted, knowledgeable company like Allegra Marketing & Print Solutions can help take your business from relative obscurity to a known, legitimate brand in a fraction of the time spent doing it alone.
Based in Vancouver, BC, Allegra will help even the most non-tech savvy business entity and turn it into a branded juggernaut that is represented across all platforms, including web, mobile and even the traditional print media that is still effective when done properly. It all begins with the design and development of the company website, with Allegra making sure that the look and feel of the site matches the image your company is trying to project. They will also make sure that your site is ready to be easily discovered by all the major search engines by using effective search engine optimization (SEO) techniques within your site content.
SEO is just one way to get your website seen by potential new customers, and by integrating e-mail and social media marketing, your search engine ranking and social network standing will rise in very short order. It’s not only the internet that can be utilized in marketing campaigns; just about everyone uses some form of mobile technology, and smartphones now play a big part in helping people discover your business. Mobile marketing via text is one way, but Allegra also employs the use of QR codes (those square bar code looking boxes) to allow smartphone users to get instant access to your site and company information.
With so much technology now employed in marketing, it would be easy to think that print media is dead, but it still plays a major part in any integrated marketing campaign, and Allegra will put their graphic design team to work to help you create a great piece of promotional material that can be used in a direct mail marketing campaign. Why settle for just one method when you can use them all to create an integrated traditional and viral marketing one stop solution.

Every Halloween party needs to be carefully planned out in order to be a big hit. Yours is no exception! Here is some information to help with your ideas and make sure that your party will be one your guests will not forget!
Tip #1
The first thing anyone who wishes to plan a party must do – whether for Halloween or not – is to decide who is going to be attending the party. Who your audience and guests are greatly affects the choices you will be making later on. So, take the time to decide if you will be hosting adults, children, or a mix of both. Once you do so, you may make invitations. Invitations should be appropriate for your audience – nothing too scary for kids – and should detail information such as address, date, time, and tidbits such as costume contests or if guests should bring anything. Sending out invitations a week or two before the actual date of the party is ideal to let your guests prepare themselves.
Tip #2
Decorations can make or break any party, and your Halloween party is no exception. In order to orchestrate a successful party, one needs to choose decorations appropriate for it – using this rule, try not to decorate your house with anything too scary if you are going to be hosting children. Decorations can be found at nearly every local store near Halloween. If you need help setting up your house for a party, you may invite some guests over earlier to help you decorate – it’s often best to start decorating the day before your party.
Tip #3
To make your house’s atmosphere even scarier, you may choose to modify the lighting of your home. Making your house dimly lit is preferable, but be careful not to make it overly so, as you don’t want any accidents or anyone tripping over anything. To add to the mysterious atmosphere, you can employ fog machines in your decorations and get cauldrons filled with dry ice. The mist will definitely make your home seem like a true horror house! Just be careful not to go overboard with the fog machines too, as too much fog can result in poor visibility.
Tip #4
Music is one of the deal breakers of any party. If the music isn’t good or enjoyable, some people may leave in the middle of the party, and may not even come at all next year! As such, you should make sure to choose appropriate music – more light-hearted songs will be used at family-friendly events, while darker and scarier music can be used for more grown-up parties. Try not to make the music too loud, as it may disrupt the party itself.
Tip #5
Most people who go to parties expect exciting games and contests to take part in. It’s rather boring if you’re only going to be talking, drinking punch, and listening to music, after all. Most children would likely be satisfied with games such as hide-and-seek or singing games that utilize “scary” music. Adults would be content with charades or card games. And it’s never a bad idea to add a “movie spot” where your guests may watch a horror movie or two!
Tip #6
It is advisable to include food at your Halloween party so that your guests aren’t hungry. Food can be anything from cookies, pastries, candy – mostly anything sweet. You may also have pizza or other more filling food at your party in case some of your guests neglected to have dinner before arriving. To make your party really interesting, you may decide to fashion your consumables into eyes, arms, and other body parts to go with the scary theme. For drinks, try serving something thick and sweet – something that looks like blood or green slime is the best.
Tip #7
Be a part of your party! Some hosts and hostesses choose to simply stand at the side and watch their party from the sidelines. But the trick to a successful party is interacting with your guests and having fun along with them.
Tip #8
For a finale, it’s always good to give your guests goodie bags filled with candy and other treats. If you’ve hosted contests, then you should give the winners presents or prizes. It’s best to stick with chocolate or candy, but if you feel like you have the resources and money, you may purchase other things as gifts as well. The more extravagant the gift, the more compelled your guests may feel to come next year!

Word of mouth advertising is one of the most influential tools to get customers in the door to your business, and when happy, to return. But why do businesses make such a big deal about something that naturally happens, or focus on it when there are other forms of advertising that are also effective? Let us have a quick overview…
Direct mailers and flyers are great. If you send out information to the correct audience it can move people to call with questions. Creating traffic is always a plus! The issue is that the creation and mailing of these sheets take time and money, which can often be tight for some businesses. On the other hand, someone mentioning the great price and quality product you provided could make their friend turn to you for their next project… Free marketing, and definitely effective!
Websites are fantastic tools all sorts of businesses can use, as I am sure everyone knows. Be it advertising, drawing in new clientele, research and learning about customers through polls… websites do it all. But websites, no matter how ideally constructed, always lack what I call the ‘human element’. Webmasters can post testimonials on their pages to try to compensate, but the problem is the potential customer is not hearing the positive news from their friend or relative. What carries more merit – two sentences from a stranger, or your friend of six years telling you that a company had excellent customer service, cared about your timeline and made the project happen beautifully? (Definitely the latter!)
Social media is a fantastic source to get your customers and other related businesses involved online! Many people now use Facebook and Twitter as main sources for advertising, posting their promotional offers and office updates online. Between the business to business interactions, customers that add you because they like your business and people that stop by just to check out a promo offer… well, let’s just say it is pretty nice! Plus, you get more of a friendly feeling due to your friends possibly liking the same thing, and you have contact information online, so you know you can pursue the company or item at a later date. However, Facebook and Twitter do not move as fast as someone enthusiastic about a product or service, and the audience you are targeting with these websites tends to be younger. If you were selling hand-made greeting cards your target audience would not be kids, teenagers, 20-somethings or adults from 60 up; you would target people in their 30s and 40s, that have families, appreciate hand-made items and are willing to pay a bit more for a product made in Canada or the United States vs. made in China. (Who knows though, customers come in all ages!) For both the previously mentioned websites another issue is text space for posts – you cannot always get your point across in 140 characters or less. Word of mouth advertising gives the customer the ability to share their experience with people they feel would be interested, thus making it more beneficial.
A happy customer will tell other people about how pleased they were, and suggest they check out your shop or website! … But never forget, the same goes if you failed a customer or provided them with a substandard product. Word of mouth moves at a good speed when positive; it moves at a racing pace when negative. Make the customer happy so their lives are easier! Remember all those times you were disappointed and frustrated with a business? Well, next time a customer has a serious problem listen and do what you can to correct the issue. Turn a negative into a positive, and show people that you care… You will be remembered in the best light possible, and for all the right reasons.
