Personalized Service
Before creating a web design campaign, All Pro Media works to understand your business and what makes it extraordinary. They provide initial planning consultations and do research to find out the core values of your business, your target customers, who your competition is, and other marketing information. By taking the time to complete preliminary research, All Pro Media ensures its web design campaigns are extremely focused toward your business’s needs.
Conceptual Development
After initial research, All Pro Media begins the conceptual development process. All Pro Media considers how the site will flow easily for customers, and creates a seamless layout. Next, they write the script for the website based on the company’s “voice” or brand personality. Design elements, including graphics, photography, and typography also play a large role in this step. All Pro Media works to develop and keep your brand consistent and identifiable across all marketing platforms. They take into consideration your company colors, logo, and “feel.” Most importantly, All Pro Media produces websites that are mobile friendly and easy to use. A difficult or non-responsive website drives customers away. A simple layout, bold visuals, and a consistent message keep customers engaged.

An experienced, creative team offering timely and reliable service, and a 25 year business track record.

SEO
A great website is useless if nobody can find it. All Pro Media designs websites with optimized keywords, title tags, meta descriptions, headlines, and text for SEO. This “Google-friendly” practice gives your website more visibility and, therefore, more traffic. 95% of people don’t click past the first page of Google, so this step is crucial.
Why Choose All Pro Media?
All Pro Media has an experienced, creative team offering timely and reliable service, and a 25 year business track record. When you team up with All Pro Media you can expect personalized and strategic design practices that work. For more information, visit www.allpromedia.com.

Branding 101: Nothing More Than Feelings

by Terri Hawkins

How do you define your company’s brand? How do you Get Noticed?

Often those tasked with branding for a company mistake logos, fonts, and pantones as your brand. Or perhaps they consider your brand a representation of your products.

Building your brand is about building relationships.

Branding is more an emotional, sensory understanding of what your company is, rather than an intellectual, rational memory of your tagline or logo. Building your brand is about building relationships, and the feelings that do that result in helping you sell more.

Promotional products can be selected to help evoke those feelings, build your brand, and increase your sales. Charmaine Blount will help your team create the promotional products to make the right emotional connection your brand is seeking.

  • Comfort? Apparel, lip balm
  • Stress Relief? Wine carriers, food, unique gifts, Oreo cookie dippers
  • Safety? Whistles, tools, lanyards
  • Valued partner? Calendars, Executive gifts like phone chargers

What feeling represents your company?

Your brand is the sum total of every experience people have with your company. Your marketing mix helps create those experiences. Get the right products to create the experiences connecting you to your target market.

Promotional products build your brand and increase your sales!

Need ideas? Need energy? Charmaine’s business is to help her clients Get Noticed,

  • for the right reasons,
  • for their brands,
  • for over ten years,
  • for you.

And don’t be shy about introducing Charmaine to your business friends—she loves meeting with business owners of all types—and becoming a valued part of branding teams!

Painters Who Care About Customers

by Karen Anderson

Does your house need a “paint makeover,” and are you just dreading this daunting project? Maybe your kitchen or bathroom cabinets need a fresh, new look. Ron Davis, owner of Southern Style Property Works, LLC, and his team of professional painters can help with all of your painting needs — both exterior and interior, refacing cabinets, and glazing or faux painting projects, as well as any drywall projects you may have.

Providing top service to every customer

Ron’s team has more than 20 years of combined experience. They are very customer oriented, showing up when promised, finishing on schedule, and cleaning up like they were never there. Ron’s crews also installs and repairs dry wall, which is a major benefit. Ron currently has four crews that stay busy providing top service to every customer.

Before you start any repainting project, one of the most important things to know before painting is to find out whether the current paint is oil or latex paint. Ron gives this tip: Rub a little denatured alcohol over the paint. If the paint comes off, it is latex paint. If it does not, it is oil-based paint.

If your house needs some sprucing up with a fresh coat of paint:
