INNOVATIVE NEW PROMOTIONS SERVICE TARGETS THE NORTH EAST

29/10/2009

Promotional marketing specialist, Vivid, has widened its suite of products with the launch of ‘Flyerpower’, its targeted distribution service.

Rather than leafleting or postering en-mass, Vivid targets venues and locations with the highest potential impact and focuses on them for leaflets and postering. This cuts costs as bulk distribution is unnecessary. This also means that Vivid is able to work with the focus venues to ensure that their clients get optimal exposure and the venue staff know all about the promotion - often putting up posters, briefing them and leaving them with info packs with follow-up information.

The service has already been used with great success by a range of clients ranging from Business Enterprise North East to Nexus and the Sunderland Empire.

"Our aim, in all our work, is to move from promotion to persuasion." commented Managing Director Emma Seheult. "Flyerpower combines the broadcast potential of outdoor postering and leaflet distribution with the consumer dialogue of face-to-face marketing. We work closely with our agency partners, such as Mike Lynch Advertising, to ensure that we get the message and the targeting right for our clients."

The successful launch of the product has meant that Vivid have developed a special team to serve the North East and is busy expanding the service to some of its national promotional clients.

FACE TO FACE MARKETING BEATS THE CRUNCH

09/04/2009

Promotional marketing agency Vivid Promotional Marketing is beating the crunch with its unique brand of face-to-face marketing that has seen the North East based agency double its turnover over the past year.

Vivid employ teams of specialist promotional staff to deliver award winning and unique face-to-face experiences for products launches, sampling, youth campaigns and social marketing. 

"We’re finding that clients are turning more and more to promotional and face-to-face marketing this year as they find that it gives them immediate impact, positive results and represents one of the few ways to establish a two way dialogue direct with their customers at street level"

"We've spent the past year working with some of the most creative and forward-thinking marketing agencies and clients in the North East and across the UK. Vivid partners with other agencies who are keen to bring fresh new ideas to their clients. We specialise in offering solutions that integrate, elaborate and celebrate existing marketing strategies through promotional marketing initiatives” said Emma Seheult, Managing Director of Vivid.

With a range of client wins across the UK, Vivid is now ranked as the number one promotional marketing agency in the North East and is set for further expansion over the coming months with a number of new staff coming on board to strengthen the Gateshead-based team.
