Different Marketing Avenues - Use All You Can

One thing to remember with marketing an event, special exhibit, new product or your services is to market in all avenues you can for getting your information out to the public - direct mailers, websites, emailers, brochures, flyers, social media, etc.  One thing to note as you do this is to continue the consistent branding through all your marketing materials through the use of same fonts, imagery and colors.  The public will begin to recognize, associate, and remember your event.

Below are examples of the different marketing avenues I use for my client Art Works Downtown to advertise their newest art exhibit - Small Works Show currently on exhibit in their 1337 Gallery.

Postcards are designed and mailed out to their mailing lists, given to artists to pass out to their contacts, and are distributed around the community to get their next exhibit advertised to the public.

An Ecard icon is designed to be emailed out to various different contacts.

A slideshow image is created to be highlighted on the home page of their website with a direct link to their exhibit webpage.

A webpage is updated on their website with all the pertinent information about the art exhibit.

An RTA sign is created for the gallery window. 

Finally an emailer through iContact is created to send out to their contact list.

Second Friday Art Walk Map - Exhibit highlighted on front cover and inside information.

If your company or another company you know of needs assistance with graphic or website design work to help market an upcoming event, exhibit, products, or services Susan Searway Art & Design would be happy to assist you in any way I can.   Happy Holidays! 

Marketing Materials - Art Exhibit Postcards

As you know I am an artist and love working for clients that promote the arts.  I am honored and am having so much fun working for my client, Art Works Downtown.  I get to work on updates to their website, work on their e-mailer campaigns, and get to design their art exhibit postcards.  Below are a few samples of their current 1337 Gallery Exhibit Postcard design and past postcard designs.

If you or your company have monthly events or yearly events that need marketing materials either printed or online, Susan Searway Art & Design would love to assist you.

Website Highlight: Your Neighbors' New Kitchen.com

One of the best things you can do when meeting with a graphic designer or website design is bring in samples.  Look at other businesses marketing products and websites that you like and also designs that you don't like.  Look for:

• Design
• Layout 
• Content
• Colors
• Pictures

This gets you thinking about what you specifically want and it gives your designer a visual idea of where their client eventually wants to end up.  

Ed from Your Neighbors' New Kitchen.com did just that when he came to me.  He brought me a copy of an HGTV magazine and said he wanted his new website to be like that - focus on the kitchen design, big beautiful pictures, small before photos, something fun, colorful, bright, interesting, and informative about kitchen re-facing.  That is what we designed him.   A colorful website that focuses on the kitchens.  Check out his website online - www.YourNeighborsNewKitchen.com 

Below are samples from his website we designed last month.  Enjoy.

I love working with my clients on a variety of projects from logo design, advertisements, brochures, educational materials, exhibits, flyers, posters, identity packages, business cards, mailers, or websites.  Mainly if you need it printed or put online Susan Searway Art & Design can help you get it there.  

Recent Logo Designs by Susan Searway Art & Design

Logo Design - Branding for a company is a vital and important process in developing your company.  You have to visually articulate what you want your company to represent to your future clients.  You want to be professional, unique, and stand out from others in your field.  Your logo can be as simple as a font that represents your company or it can be more complex with an icon that is designed as vector art or it can be an image that goes along with the name of your company.  Whatever direction you decide to take your company brand in make sire you like it and that it represents you and your company well.  A strong brand will last for years.  A weak brand you will have to update in a few years.  Below are some recent logo designs I have created for my clients this year.  Enjoy.
