"Initially, I was apprehensive about establishing an online side to my business as I wasnt sure how well it would work. I'm an old-school type of guy so I don't know much about social media and all the latest internet tools. But I was quite taken aback by the results! The outcome of all the marketing that Branding Made Simple has executed has been very positive. Remarkably, my business has turned around in a short amount of time thanks to Branding Made Simple. I would highly recommend them to help you with your business." - Paul Jordan, Partner

A company's image is the largest asset it will ever have which is why it's important to nurture it. Everyday. Moreover, a successful brand starts with an identity. Who you are and what your company represents should be clearly communicated to your customers. When building a "brand" consider what your company stands for. What experiences and emotions do you want your customers to associate with you?
We help small businesses define their brand and identity through various integrated marketing strategies such as marketing events and conferences, collateral material (brochures, newsletters), or written messages. We make sure everything we create for is stylish, genuine and professional-looking. We eloquently and fluidly integrate your brand into an image that is unique and identifiable. More importantly, we do this in a way thats attracts and retains the best customers.
Copy writing is the most essential element of effective marketing and the number one key to any successful marketing campaign. You need strategically delivered words that grab the reader's attention right away. More importantly, you need words that sell! At Branding Made Simple we focus on:
So, whether you're looking to sell a product or service or increase traffic to your website, you'll need to tell compelling stories that connect with people so they'll respond the way you want.
Did you know that 85% of your prospects visit your website before calling you? That is why first impressions matter. Whether you're creating a brand new website or in need of upgrades to your existing site, we can help. We examine your website and make suggestions on how your customers and clients can easily find what they are looking for.
We also understand building the perfect website can be expensive and cumbersome. At Branding Made Simple we've discovered a way to create eye-catching and professional-looking websites for half the cost. By utilizing the latest technology available, we build customized websites that attract customers and drive sales.
Thousands of email marketing campaigns are created everyday to acquire new customers and encourage repeat business from existing clients. Yet, are these campaigns really working? Are the emails even being read? At Branding Made Simple, we create unique and creative headlines that capture attention. And we don't stop there, we also create emails that enhance your marketing campaign - emails that are dynamic, specific, free of unneccessary words and "clutter" and that generate responses.
The companies that connect with their customers on social media networking sites are thriving in immeasurable ways. By managing your social media, we not only help you create connections with your existing customers, but we can instantly create buzz and excitement with new customers. By promoting your brand, product or service social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn you deepen your reach on the internet.
We also help manage company blogs in a way that allows businesses to educate and inform their target audiences.

Word-of-mouth is still the only form of advertising that works, its just that today's word-of-mouth has changed. That is why starting in April 2012 local companies in Kitsap County and beyond are invited to join us to attend several interactive informational sessions about the latest trends in online and offline marketing. By attending these sessions, small business owners and entrepreneurs will be able to gain a wealth of marketing knowledge as well as network and share information with their colleagues. Participants can attend the event for free, but will be responsible for their own lunch costs at the select venue.
The "Raving Fans" small business luncheons will be held throughout the year and will focus on a different topic of interest to small business owners with limited marketing budgets. Our first topic in April is, "What's a Customer Worth?"
If you're a small business owner interested in joining us at this informational luncheon, please sign up! Let us help your business grow! Exact date TBA.
Please note: The informational session luncheons are designed to provide entrepreneurs with the necessary marketing information they need to grow their businesses. No marketing products will be sold to attendees nor will there be any sales pitches.

Making such strong, real connections takes time, effort and thoughtfulness. If you never return to your profiles, you and your business will be forgotten (best case) or seen as unconnected, clueless or lazy (worst case).
