Strategy Sessions 

Does your marketing campaign send a clear, coherent, 'branded' message? 
 
More often than not, if your business is more than 3 -5 years old, you have a hodge podge of materials of all ages and design.  A logo and stationery from the early years of your business, a website that was designed for a business and clients that no longer reflect your current situation or one that has been added to haphazardly as your business has grown.  Then some of you have added a blog and/or an e-newsletter and maybe a FaceBook Page or Linked-In group.
This is usually because, as your business has grown, you have just added to what you had. The end result is often disjointed and unclear. 
 
These quieter summer months are a good time to sit down and look, comprehensively, at your goals, your existing materials and resources and to create a coherent marketing plan.
 
If you need someone to help guide you through this process, please call (973.275.9497) or email me at LMD@LisaMarieDiasDesigns.com   We can set up a time to sort through what you have, figure out where you want to be and come up with a plan to get you there.
 
These services can, but need not necessarily,  be combined with the creation or modification of an e-newsletter.  These sessions are designed to help you figure out how to create a marketing campaign that efficiently and affordably reflects your brand and conveys the message you want to share.  
 
Making time this summer to re-group and create a plan will pay off this fall. 
Call or email LMD@LisaMarieDiasDesigns.com  today to get started!

Words of Wisdom

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation,
for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
 
Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."
 
Leonardo da Vinci
 

I Have Started Microblogging!

Follow me on Twitter for E-News tips, hints and suggestions!

 Rather than start a full fledged BLOG, I have started to 'microblog' by posting e-newsletter tips, hints and advice on Twitter.
 
Each 'tweet' (post) includes the characters #LMDhint so you can easily use the Twitter search to find previous posts.  To see all future posts, please follow me @LisaMarieDias
 
I will aggregate all posts on my website on the #LMDhints page and am considering starting a FaceBook or LinkedIn Group as a resource and forum for others to post their E-News tips and suggestions as well.
 
Please email me at LMD@LisaMarieDiasDesigns.com  to let me know if you are on FB or LI and with any suggestions or contributions to this forum.
 

Next Month

We will Focus on Images
 Till then, ENJOY!

 

E-News Tip of the Month

Printing your E-Newsletter
 Constant Contact templates, as well as most other ESP's (email service providers) are designed to be viewed online.  The fields of color seen on screen with most templates do NOT print.  This saves ink when someone does want to read a hard copy but may make the template less attractive in print. 
 
Some templates do look better in print than others so if you think your readers are going to be reading them as hard copies, experiment with a few templates to see which still get your look and message across even in print.
