At Chalk Media, we only consider graphic design to be ‘great’ if the company commissioning the work sees some actual results for their money, once their new design is ‘out there’ in front of their target audience.After all, what’s the use of a visually stunning graphic design idea if it ultimately proves commercially unsuccessful?

Innovative and intelligent graphic design from an award-winning media and marketing agency like us can be incredibly powerful – making an impact that your competitors will find impossible to match, let alone beat.

Why e-shots are such a ‘must-have’ internet marketing toolE-mail has replaced phone calls as the choice method of contact between businesses and organisations in the UK, if not the world. Stats show that theROI(returnoninvestment)on e-shot marketing is greater than any other marketing direct response method.

E-shots really do provide the perfect solution to a problem countless UK companies face. How to retain regular contact with customers, without them feeling bombarded.

Your customers will love the convenience of e-shots In the UK, people like to be ‘helped’, and hate being sold to. That is exactly what e-shots can do.

By launching e-shot campaigns at appropriate intervals you are helping your customers by maintaining a friendly and fluid online customer communication flow. You’ll be saving them the hassle of researching your contact details by providing

them with clickable links from your e-shots direct to your website.

ETHICAL SEO SERVICES

Foryourwebsitetorankhighly (in organic listings) on major search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN/Bing, it needs to be ‘optimised’. The best way to do this is to use a powerful marketing technique called Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

SEO – What’s involvedSEO involves embedding your pages’ on-page text and source code with the words and phrases that correspond strongly to the search terms users type into Google etc. (when looking to buy your particular type of products or services).But you can’t just include those ‘keywords’ and phrases wherever and as often as you like! SEO must be used in an ethical way using ‘white hat’ techniques (acceptable, fair-minded practice).
