Our direct response marketing consulting services are included with our postcard and magazine advertising programs. We provide a comprehensive review of your marketing materials, advertising, and branding with the goal of improving your advertising, its effectiveness, and reducing your overall marketing costs.

Our consulting centers on direct response advertising, tracking and measurement of advertising, and accessing the results of any and all advertising. Our philosophy is simple: advertisements that do not return a profit are expenses that should be eliminated. On the other hand, advertisements that work and return a profit should be considered investments and expanded upon.

Budgets are often a topic of concern when considering advertising and marketing expenses. Read the paragraph above again and you’ll understand why we’ll suggest against having an advertising budget. At least not one in the traditional sense of spending a predetermined sum without proper assessment as to its performance.

We offer a free 30 minute onsite marketing consultation to qualifying locally owned businesses in the Greater CSRA. To schedule your free consultation, call our office at 803-357-3375.
