The Marketing Department Inc. believes that nontraditional advertising is often more effective than traditional advertising. If your company is doing EXACTLY what your competitors are doing to reach potential customers, its time to reevaluate your marketing plan!! If you have been advertising in the same publications and on the same stations for a year or more, its time to diversify!

The Marketing Department is staffed by people who have BOUGHT advertising, SOLD advertising, and PUBLISHED advertising venues of its own. We help clients understand how to diversify and reach potential clients in ways different from your competitors. We also incorporate PUBLICITY as a facet of your Marketing Plan. Often, people find things WRITTEN ABOUT a person or company more credible than things written BY a person or company- thus, incorporating publicity/press releases in to your marketing plan makes sense. The majority of press releases written by the Marketing Department generate publicity in the form of articles or television coverage.  
 


FACT:  YOUR CURRENT CLIENT IS YOUR COMPETITORS BEST PROSPECT!! 

We recognize the importance of continuously "marketing" yourself to your current customers, and can help you do it without spending a lot of your marketing budget. Simple techniques can be used to help build and maintain a warm, friendly relationship with clients, and The Marketing Department can help your and your sales staff  learn how.
