Successful marketing takes time!

We have put a lot of consideration into our packages and the first thing we say to clients is “there is no quick fix” when it comes to marketing and those that say there is, are probably just after your money!

Successful marketing takes time:

Time to understand your customers, to draft creative and appealing communications, write a plan with measurable results, plan fully integrated communications plans, cultivate leads and then implement all the actions and measure it is actually working.

Below outlines all our marketing packages. We have tried to make it simple and easy to understand with no hidden costs. If you are on a tight budget and like what you read, feel free to contact us via email elaine@elaineball.co.uk for further information on how we can work with you on specific projects.

Implementation – Retainer Option 1

Experts @ hand – we become your marketing team

We know how hard it is to implement an effective marketing communications plan.  We know the pit falls and hidden problems to planning and execution.  Sometimes you just need some support and we can provide that through ‘joining’ your team or be your team.  We know the industry, so we can slip into what you are doing quite easily.  You don’t have to worry about PAYE or insurances or all the things that come with employing etc.  We have it all covered.  This option is our main package, covering what you need in order to get the job implemented.

We work with you to highlight your key milestones for the year, this is important in order for us and you to know ‘where’ you are heading and if we have reached those goals.  Next we iron out a plan of action for 6-12months.  We all stress the importance of proactive marketing planning and we get you into the mind-set of this from the beginning.

We report on your objectives and overall stats every month by producing a detailed report.  This makes sure we are both on track and highlights anything we feel is important to discuss.

You are assigned to an account leader who will work with you direct.  Our trusted suppliers and co-workers have worked with us for a number of years, even back in the old MDL days.  We have kissed many frogs to get our princes! This package has access to all our team and experts from board level experience to implementation.

What is a retainer?

The AIM of the retainer is to support, develop and improve. Here are some thoughts…

  • Support Current Marketing.  Support the current marketing team with the aim to ‘focus’ full marketing efforts on a geographical location or product offering.  It’s important that any marketing communication implementation ‘integrates’ with the current marketing execution, thus streamlining the whole process.
  • Develop Brand Awareness leading to Sales.  To develop brand awareness.  The aim is to attract, retain and convert visitors to sales leads, developing a database of contacts.  The ultimate aim to gain market share.
  • Advice.  Advise on best course of action for the company to take moving forwards; from a strategic marking point of view.  Work close with your team in order to gain momentum in execution.
  • Measure in order to tweak.  Develop objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) in order to monitor and track progress and give the company visibility on what works and what doesn’t in the overall marketing process. This is key for spending cash on the right stuff.

So, we can be as involved as you wish… Here are the bullets:

  • Initial investigation, building up knowledge of the business
  • ​Full marketing and comms plan
  • Activity planner
  • Full budget
  • Full implementation of the plan
  • Weekly updates via phone, Skype or in person
  • Monthly marketing reports | monthly/ qty meetings
  • Research, advice and metrics/ ROI

What’s the ultimate aim?

“THE AIM IS TO DEVELOP AWARENESS, EXCITE, EDUCATE AND RETAIN VISITORS AND TURN THEM INTO SALES LEADS”

My staff and I worked closely with Elaine on a time sensitive Marketing Campaign for a new critical product release at a major International trade show. Elaine and her team, despite being an ocean away, were both prompt and punctual on every scheduled phone call, every email, every meeting, every deliverable and met every deadline we had put forth. Elaine and her team did an excellent job of assisting us in a European market that was not our expertise to gain both awareness and visibility of our new product, I was not disappointed in the results. I would therefore, indefinitely, recommend Elaine because of the professionalism, enthusiasm and technical marketing ability Elaine brought to the table during this project
