PRO TIP: eCARD/eDM

Timely, Effective & Relevant Communication Strategy

connection

It's festive season again, and what a great opportunity to stay in touch with our customers and friends with just a simple gesture of festive greetings with an eCard or eDM (electronic Direct Mail), which is basically a custom-designed postcard but sent via email.

An eCard/eDM can be customized for the following use:
1. Stay in touch with customers with holiday or festive E-Cards
2. Send occasional promotions e-Direct Mail
3. Send Invitations eDM to events, fundraisers, and webinars
4. Send Reward E-coupons to loyal customers
5. Tell customers about new products and services

Create eye-catching eCards for your special holiday greeting with attractive and strong promotional offer can help keep your brand fresh in the mind of our customers for the holiday season.

Email is the best way to keep in touch with your customers. Make sure they know about new products and promotions. E-Coupons sent by email are a great tool for stimulating visits and new purchases.

Keep your support base engaged with professionally designed eCard/eDM. Reach out for fund raising drives, keep them informed of specials events and encourage frequent visits (drive traffic to your website) and offer special promotions (boost sales).

Not only is the process of creating and delivering your message can be fun and simple, if it is done right, you can be confident your message conveys the experience your site offers. Join the thousands of e-Commerce site and other B2B and B2C businesses that use eCard or eDM to build their businesses and stay in touch with their customers.

This is one of the most cost-effective marketing strategy you can develop for your business, which can have a direct effect on your ROI as this is one of the most trackable campaign that helps in fine-tuning your marketing strategy.

As we are reaching the end of the year with Christmas coming up in December where some businesses are scrambling to use up the remaining of their marketing budget for the year, you may end up securing their businesses with just a festive promotional eCard offer that they couldn't resist to pass on. The point is, if you don't tell them about your offer, they wouldn't know.

All design houses need time to do their best work, and would be able to help consult on what's the best strategy to embark on, including the technology and timing as well as designing an effective campaign with consistent branding.

This is one strategy that requires a consistent attention and forward planning as we have multiple festivities, shows, events lined up for 2008. It pays to plan ahead so that you don't end up rushing a last-minute communication exercise. Talk to your web designer & developer today and there is no better time to start than now.

The Next Chapter...

MailChimp

THIS YEAR, WE WOULD LIKE TO START EARLY TO REVIEW OUR MISSION, WHERE WE HAD BEEN, WHAT WE HAD ACHIEVED IN 2007.

We started out 2007 with the intention to be the best web design and development boutique agency that we can be, above and beyond industry's standard.

We wanted to make our clients look really good because we understand and believe that if you don't look god, we don't either.

2007 turned out to be an outstanding year for us at MOOPHSTUDIOS. The whole economy is going strong which enables us to form great partnerships with both existing and new clients, allowing us to win a few awards in the process.

We believe that we managed to achieve what we set out to do, which is basically to elevate and solidify our POSITIONING as an award-winning multi-diciplinary web design & development consultancy.

For 2008, we will be adopting INNOVATION as our new direction, where were intend to reinvent web design. That's a tall order, not to mention quite challenging, and what a way to begin 2008!

We invite you to continue the journey with us, right through 2008. If there is anything we could do to help you shape your direction or startegy for 2008, please do not hesitate to contact us.

EMA
The Summit EMA conferred the Emerging Media Award (EMA) on Nov 20, 2007 to our website at www.mooph.com, (Website B2B category) for the contribution and leadership in this dynamic field.
