When your company realizes that they have reached a point where it is obvious that your company needs advertising. This point may be when you see that your sales have been stagnant for the past 4 quarters; which may be a good thing if it has been a positive during this terrible economy. Otherwise if you continually barely break even, it is time to start research a quality advertising agency. A simple google search such as “advertising in Worcester ma” is a good place to start. From there choose the top 5 or 10 agencies that have a quality websites. It will become self evident which agencies will offer similar ideas for success as you. As you research the agencies, you will notice many choose to create websites for themselves that are made to impress other agencies. Why in the world would an agency choose its competitors over its end users is beyond me. Many have websites that are difficult to use and leave you questioning what on earth they are trying to push.
After skimming through the top agencies, you’ll want to schedule an appointment with some of the agencies. Whereas your time is valuable, I suggest emailing the owner the companies for their portfolios. I for example can be reached at Zachary@giggidyadvertising.com
After you receive the portfolio, you will see an idea of what the agency is capable of and what type of direction you can expect. Maybe a safe modest direction, or an out of the box direction that is sure to generate buzz for your brand.
After this short work is done, you should schedule an appointment with your agency of choice, at Giggidy Advertising we can be reached at 508-989-8420. During your appointment, you want to ask as many questions as the account executive is asking. You are going to want numbers, success rates, examples, remember your money is meant to make you more money that’s why you are deciding to enlist the help of an advertising agency. If the agency seems lacks, it’s not going to look in the best interest of your company.
My final suggestion after you have completed the aforementioned is to ask for references. Not just one or two but at least five. This will give you a good picture of how the agency works.
