Coca Cola, McDonalds, Tic Tac, Sprite, Heineken, and Mrs. Smith’s. All very different companies with one big thing in common – their name and their brand image are instantly recognizable all over the world.

The other thing these successful companies have in common is that they all hired team members from Now What? Studio to help create and execute their marketing campaigns.

How You Benefit

So what does that mean to you, the small business owner or executive? You don’t have a ‘Big Boy’ budget or a huge national brand (…maybe not yet) – so why should you care who we’ve worked with in the Fortune 500 world?

Well with Now What? Studio on your side, this means that you’re getting a rock-solid team of seasoned, experienced and respected marketing professionals – not a bunch of amateurs intent on using your business as a testing ground for their un-proven marketing theories and strategies.

We’re not boasting.  We’re not arrogant.  We’ve simply been lucky enough to work with these Fortune 500 powerhouses, and lucky enough to be compensated very well to do so. We’re also deeply involved in our communities and recognize that small businesses and entrepreneurs are the key to the recovery of our great country.  We want to play a part in this exciting and historic return to greatness.

Our Mission

That’s the mission that drives us here at Now What? Studio.  We want to share what we have learned over the years with small businesses in all niches – so that they can grow and prosper.

These days, no small business can afford to waste a single dollar on ineffective marketing. And with Now What? Studio on your side you won’t. We even offer all of our clients a money back guarantee so you really do have nothing to lose and a great deal to gain.

So Now What?

Simply fill out our contact form and someone will reach out to you shortly. Or just give us a call at 678-404-9428.  We look forward to working with you.

At Now What? Studio, we live for what we call the ‘Now What? Moment.’

It’s the screeching halt that brings all your business marketing efforts to an excruciatingly sudden stop.

It’s the impenetrable marketing wall that extinguishes dreams, stifles creativity and freezes all forward movement.

It’s a hair pulling, scab-picking, nauseous frustration that evaporates potential—there’s not even a marketing rip cord because you’re stuck between conventional milestones and barriers.

A ‘Now What’ Moment’? is not pretty. But it’s loaded with possibility.

No Pain, No Change

We actually prefer unscripted ‘Now What? Moments.’ In fact, they move us. There’s nothing better than meeting a client at the ‘Now What?’ junction. It’s an empty canvas and blank marketing slate where we sit down, roll up our sleeves, and retrace your steps. The ‘Now What’ Moment is the ground-level, heavy-lifting we live for. It’s a place of renewed vision and endless potential. In hindsight, many of our clients define it as a critical turning point.

Marketing Will Never Be the Same

Let’s dig in. We know where you’re at—we’ve been there.

So go ahead, contact us today and let it fly.  A little fresh air does wonders for creativity.

The post PRO: My Agency Monthly Support Plan appeared first on Now What? Studio.

Many of our clients tell us that they have tried several different logos, color schemes, taglines, etc. to develop their brand image over the years and nothing seems to work.

No matter what they do they just can’t seem to get the exposure required to develop solid name recognition, either nationally or on the local level.

Usually we learn that their logo was “just something they came up with” after buying some computer software – or something that a friend or relative helped them out with it. When we inquire as to the kind of market research or testing implemented prior to launching their new brand image, we usually discover that there was little to nothing done.

Many small businesses never considered hiring a firm with a full-scale creative graphic design capabilities because they assumed that the price was out of reach – which isn’t always true.

A Brand Image Professional Can Make All the Difference

The difference between having professional input from Now What? Studio vs. most other trial-and-error alternatives can be breathtaking.

We have provided brand image services for some of the most recognizable companies in the United States today. Here are some of them:

• Coca Cola
• Tyson
• Pillsbury
• McDonalds
• Minute Maid
• Georgia-Pacific
• Chick-Fil-A

The Keys to Building a Successful Brand Image

Why have we been so successful in building brands?

We recognize that the keys to success are objectivity and consistency. Preconceived notions about the behavior of a company’s customers and clients – that don’t stand up to solid research – can doom an otherwise potentially formidable operation.

There have been some pretty impressive companies that have carefully built their brand image – that have launched miserable product failures like Crystal Pepsi, Levi’s Type 1 Jeans, and Ford’s Edsel, to name a few. When these companies look back upon those product launches, invariably they discovered a breakdown at the testing and research level.

While there is always something to be said for gut feel and instinct – market research and testing should be an important part of every startup enterprise. Prior to launching a brand image campaign, we return to your company’s inception to learn every step you initially took and get a feel for your original intent.

From this information we develop your complete marketing strategy to provide a clear and focused direction for every aspect of your marketing including:

• Logos and Graphics
• Tagline, Slogan or Motto
• Packaging
• Promotional Materials
• Stationery
• Business Cards

So Now What?

Just fill out our contact form and one of our representatives will respond immediately. Or feel free to call us at 678-404-9428 if that’s more convenient, and we will be happy to discuss a new brand image for your company.

A Quality Website Redesign Can Boost Conversions

Redesign a website to keep visitors on your site

Every day we encounter someone who tells us that they are getting good traffic to their website, but they aren’t seeing many sales or leads resulting from that traffic. The solution is quite often as simple as a website redesign.

One of the most significant algorithm changes Google has initiated in years is the Panda 2011 update. To make a long story short, Google is now rewarding companies that keep site visitors on their websites longer. That is accomplished by making sure that your…

• Website is attractive
• Navigation is clear and simple
• Advertising is properly positioned
• Content is useful and interesting

Using Website Redesign to Create Conversations

“I am all for conversations, but first you need to have a message.”
– Renee Blodgett, President, Blodgett Communications

Getting traffic to your site is accomplished with good, quality search engine marketing techniques including a social media campaign to increase brand awareness. But, that is only half of the effort necessary to create sales and leads. Your site absolutely must create conversions – getting your site visitors to do what you want them to do.

Three Steps to Website Redesign Success

When you begin a website redesign – the first and most important step is to ensure that your company’s message is clearly understood within just a few seconds of arriving at your targeted landing page.

Secondly, does your website include a fabulous offer that can’t be ignored? It might be something like a substantial discount, free shipping, free initial consultation, etc. This should be creatively designed with bottom line consequences fully considered. After all, a “loss leader” only functions properly when it leads to other sales or benefits.

Finally, are there “Calls to Action” that encourage your site visitors to make a purchase or contact you NOW? These should be prominent without being obtrusive.

A Website Redesign Can Make All the Difference

Often, it only takes a simple website redesign to make all the difference between visitors staying on your website and hitting the back button to find one of your competitors. The Now What? Studio team has the requisite experience and is up-to-date with creative graphic design and other tools that make it simple and inexpensive to redesign a website.

So Now What? If you would like more information, call 678-404-9428 now to learn how a website redesign can improve your conversions. Or you can just fill out our contact form and we will get back to you immediately.
