Break Through The Clutter

The Team has been a-buzz doing research for email effectiveness, and having a brand that stands out from your competition is definitely a must! With all the online template services out there, brands have blended into one a big stew of redundant flavor…all vanilla! So while marketing budgets have shrunken, creativity and establishing a cohesive “look and feel” for your business has suffered greatly in the landscape of an online presence.

How do we bring back style and creativity without busting the budget with expensive ad agencies that charge $250 to $300 per hour?

Good question! Buzz-e-blasts is a product we’ve developed for the small business professional that wants to break through the clutter and express their own unique online personality. Forget paying expensive monthly retainers or spending hours uploading files and typing words on a template just to see the same design from someone else land in your own inbox. Get serious about who you are and how you’re different from everyone else!

We’ll help you establish your own brand through color, type styles and imagery that is carried out in your email campaigns and landing pages. Why landing pages you ask? It’s a proven strategy! We’ve found that by letting imagery and fewer words drive the main message, you can spell out the details after you entice someone to click through. More benefits to a click through is improved analytic reports and obtaining more information in a simple contact form.

If you really want to jump into digitally integrated marketing campaigns, we can develop animated banner ads, social media platforms and websites with home galleries and virtual tours. Let’s not forget that we offer federally compliant database management to tie all the pieces together into one lovely package so your brand is able to be TOP OF MIND with clients, affiliates and colleagues.

Not sure what to do next? Buzz-e-blast offers an email outreach service for tapping other real estate brokers’ shoulder or locating qualified prospective buyers and sellers directly based on location, income, age range and several other criteria.

Customized email designs begin as low as $250, so give us a call and together we can develop an action plan to suit your needs.

BlueWater by SeaCountry’s Brand In Process

Team Buzz has been working with SeaCountry Homes to develop a new brand for their upcoming neighborhood in Summerly, Lake Elsinore. It’s a fun-loving, fresh community with a TON of lifestyle amenities in and around the community.

We started by developing a color palette that resonated all the fun to be had if you were to live in BlueWater by SeaCountry. Swinging at home plate, jumping dirt bikes, cooling off in a pool, water skiing being a boat or teeing off with a few friends…it what BlueWater is all about.

Stay tuned…next step is the logo design!

Welcome Wright Secretarial!

The Team just launched a new website today for Wright Secretarial Services.

A short backstory is that Wright has always relied on word-of-mouth for business…the best referral you can get. But, technology and client attrition has necessitated more outreach.

We designed a modern, yet retro logo and them for Wright’s brand, as they’ve never needed to market themselves. The website copy has a play on the name, but not so frequent to be redundant. Testimonies bring in personality and work ethic, as well as increases keywords for search engine optimization.

Its fun and playful, yet working hard at the same time…just like our favorite jobs in real life!

Please share your thoughts!!

‘Tis The Season…

There are two seasons that are big in the yachting community, Spring for Opening Day and Winter for Change of Command. For those not familiar, Opening Day is when a yacht club officially determines that the harbor is free of ice and is ready to open for the upcoming yachting season. Being in California, this is more of a tradition since we enjoy year-round boating.

Change of Command is just as one would guess, when the outgoing commodore hands off the watch to the new incoming commodore and all other flag officers move up in ranks, as it is with most yacht clubs and organizations. For most, the event that marks that time is a “Commodore’s Ball” or “Installation Dinner.” Every organization has it’s traditions to follow and it’s usually centered around introductions, speeches, recognizing last year’s achievements and honoring awards during a dinner followed by a big party.

Southern California Yachting Association retained Create-a-Buzz Marketing to design the 2016 Installation Dinner and the incoming commodore is a school teacher with an appetite for for history, cigars and jazz flavor. To compliment his personality, we designed a retro-look with a “Rat Pack” flavor to set the tone for his soirée. This vibe will be carried-out throughout the event in social media, emails, tablescapes, entryway and any other presentation or collateral.

Needless to say, the Commodore is pleased and now very excited for his special day!

Website Made For Non-Profits That Like To Have Fun!

We’ve been working with Southern California Yachting Association for a few years and the site refresh was launched earlier this year. With a few great plug ins, we’ve been building a decent email list so we can build a rapport with the readership and begin to find out what they would like from the organization!

Non-profits MUST build a solid base of support, both financially and physically. Volunteers are their lifeblood! Providing a content driven website is essential in staying top of mind.

I think we’re achieving that with this site and it’s a fun group to work with!

Check it out and let me know what you think!

 

“Freak Show” is Coming to Dana Point!

We’ve been working on a Halloween Night production of “Freak Show” that is coming together quite nicely. The live band is on contract, the magician and an artist reserved, and several folks selected to be in the “Freaks” side show. The decorating committee will be transforming the building into a tent with vinyl material draped from the ceiling and black lights with fog will do the rest to create the scary side of carnival life.

Photos to come in November!
