Marketing Capabilities
Every business faces the same dilemma: How to reach the people who want your service, especially online?
Now This Is A Better Mousetrap.
Through innovative marketing programs, Flat Creek positions your firm in the right place in front of the right people with the right message to attract new business and identify existing opportunities.
Especially online, opportunities are both available and cost-effective for companies positioned to seize them. With a scrumptious blend of websites, microsites, e-newsletters, search engine marketing, banner ads, and more, Flat Creek serves up new business and increased message awareness for your firm.
Information for Media Relations.
When you get down to it, if there's one thing Flat Creek knows, it's media relations. Think nothing of cold-calling CNN on a Sunday morning to get your client on that afternoon. We've been there and done that.
But even the best media campaigns must be backed up with substance. Flat Creek creates online media centers and crisis websites to provide a single source of information for fact-hungry reporters. When your client's reputation is on the line, turn to Flat Creek to consolidate and present the information reporters need.
Client service is key.
When you left the company retreat, marketing was a big part of the plan. But how are things now? Do you still spend time refining your message? Do you keep up with the latest research? Do you look for new audiences and segments for your business? Growth is key to professional firms, but your clients now are taking up every second. Are you planning for when you don't have so many clients?
Flat Creek was founded on a marketing principle - filling the gap for professional firms. With that inherent background in marketing, we draw on experts in marketing research, advertising, graphic design, website design, and event planning to bring you the resources and perspective you deserve. We aren't tied to our own staff, but draw upon the best local service providers to make a superior match with your need.
Whether you would like a new look online or need a comprehensive marketing plan, Flat Creek can deliver, with solutions that fit your company and your budget.
Marketing Services
Website Design
There was a time when just having a website was a big deal. Today customers expect to see more online than just your address. They want to interact with you online, and find resources they need on demand. Flat Creek helps you build a first-class website by working with you to analyze the purpose of the site, create a compelling design, develop it to be usable and accessible, and works with you to develop an online marketing plan to bring traffic to your site. Because having a great website is no good if no one knows about it.
Market Research
Marketing is not just sales. It's taking a 360° look at your company, your customers, and the competition to find your strategic advantage. Market research is key to understanding the environment in which you and your clients operate, and Flat Creek delivers the statistics and analysis that you can use to take action.
Event planning
If you've ever thought about sponsoring an event, you will notice there are a lot of options out there. Which should you choose? Flat Creek combines current market research with exciting event management to help you decide on the best event to sponsor for your clients and then we manage the event for you, so you can work the crowd and focus on business. Maximize your events.
Advertising
Build your company's name through effective use of traditional media including print, TV, radio and billboards. Too many small businesses are remembered because they get this wrong. Be remembered as the one who got it right.
Customer management systems
Good marketing can produce terrific results for your firm, but if you don't have a system in place to keep up with new and existing customers, much of the value will be lost. Flat Creek builds powerful databases so you can track customer interactions and manage your clients effectively.
Graphic design
From logos to brochures to billboards, Flat Creek designers create the image our clients want across any medium.
Industry / competitive analysis
The best advertising in the world will fail if it's created in a vacuum. Make informed decisions about your services with an industry analysis to know who your customers are and how you can reach them best.
Promotional items
It is often the little things that count, and that certainly applies to marketing. Flat Creek can order corporate gifts and branded mugs, sweaters, jackets, hats, stickers, etc to give your company a professional look.
Public relations
Money can't buy you everything, and that's where public relations comes into play. Flat Creek's communications professionals work with the media and your key stakeholders to deliver your message.
Trade show displays
Many small firms don't take full advantage of the marketing opportunities that trade shows provide them to interact with potential clients and learn about new products. Flat Creek takes a strategic look at the best trade shows for your industry and prepares you with a professional display backdrop, company handouts and promotional items to make the impact your company needs.
