Our Marketing Team recently completed this branding for a local Ballarat land developer.

We have all seen the rise in monthly subscriptions in the last 5-10 years as a way to pay for products and services. Think Netflix, Stan etc in the television space, think about your mobile phone and home internet bills, your home and car loan - all monthly breakdowns. Have you ever thought why? It's because it is easy to manage a smaller monthly payment than a large up-front one. It's easier to budget for, it's easier to afford. Also you don't have the cost of upgrading. Netflix adds more shows every week at no extra cost, you can hand your car back after 48 months now. Life has become about smaller, bite sized chunks to pay for the lifestyle you want. Now think about your business...have you thought about how much this mentality has increased for digital assets like business software? Think Xero, Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe Creative Suite. If your business uses an appointment booking system like HotDoc in the medical space, all are paid for by monthly fees. Your business website is no different, it is a piece of software your business needs to attract new clients, communicate to them and promote your products or services. It needs attention to make sure it is in tip top shape to reflect the needs of new devices, design features and even integrations with third party software (like HotDoc, Shopify or Mr Yum).

It’s been some time since you built your website, now may be a good time to update it. Here are some reason’s why it’s a good idea:

From our first appointment our client highlighted their need for a website as well as some graphic design work including vehicle signage, a promotional flyer and some work on their social media pages. A website build was particularly important for the client as they wanted to promote their cleaning services and the areas they service in and around the Sunraysia district. We also identified the need for both Google My Business & Bing Business Listings.

Sunraysia Outdoor Blinds. Mark and Tricia contacted Rachel at Mulcahy & Co as their original website was very old (2007) and outdated. They wanted to bring it up to date with current information and in line with new technology. Their aim was to be more findable online, have more people making enquiries and to showcase their work in a more modern way that worked well on a mobile phone.

Danny turned the tables on the FS360 Podcast this week when he became the host and the regular host, Gavin, was interviewed about Marketing for small-medium sized businesses. Below is their conversation. You can also listen to the conversation below on our FS360 Podcast.

Principal Corey and Lead Staff member Nathan met with Gavin about the aims of the site. Their aim was to be more findable online, have more people making enquiries and to showcase their school in a more modern way that worked well on a mobile phone. They wanted to show curriculum focusses and also facilities as they are spread across 4 campuses.

Marketing your business is an important part of any small, medium or large business. It drives sales, new customers, enquiry and is intrinsically linked to your business success. But what is the best way to spend your marketing budget? Is it to employ internally and then hand over the reigns to that person? Is it to hire an agency to handle all marketing on your businesses behalf? The answer is dependant on your business, industry and your previous experience.

You work hard everyday to make sure your clients are happy with the hope they will refer you to their colleagues. Word of mouth is very important for attracting customers but so is your expertise. If you are in a service delivery business - your knowledge is your best asset. Leveraging that with a Content Marketing Strategy can be invaluable in making sure you have a pipeline of new clients coming your way.

It’s exciting right? Starting your own business may have been a dream you’ve had for some time - we get it! Although it can be overwhelming there are some simple steps you can put in place that will give your business a really good grounding in presence especially online.

We hope you have all survived and thrived over these past 18 months… they have been challenging to say the least. We are proud to have helped our clients with Marketing and Communication throughout this time. This eNews shows some of our latest work as well as some new offerings from our Marketing team.

A good logo is one of the most important, and often most overlooked, part of a new customer experience with your business. Having an effective logo can be the difference between a client enquiring about your business or walking straight past (both physically and online!)

We'd like to offer all our clients assistance with getting their Google My Business listing updated/verified and also establishing a Microsoft Bing Places for Business listing to ensure your business has the greatest chance of being found if Google does pull out of the Australian market.
