  • When You Need Professional Website Design

    We have previously discussed the benefits of hiring a professional Houston graphic design firm (link to Benefits of Graphic Design for Small Businesses in Houston) and want to extend the premise into how a professional can assist with website design.

    Who needs Houston graphic design and website design services?

    No matter whether you are a one person startup or an up and coming company, your site is your new business card and a chance to make a great first impression or turn customers off completely. Having professional website design principles incorporated into your site are a must and one of the best investments you can make. Even if you live in another area and aren’t interested in a Houston graphic design firm, having a clean, sleek site can lead to more traffic, and as a result, more customers. Good website design practices include incorporating your logos, branding, service and/or goods, prices, fees, and anything else a prospective customer could want in an elegant manner. Bad website designs can frustrate a customer by overloading them with unnecessary information, leave them confused as to what your business does, and have them clicking on competitor’s sites in no times.

    Who doesn’t need Houston graphic design and website design services?

    If you are an individual simply looking to create a blog to share with family and friends, you don’t need professional website design services unless you are truly looking to impress. Many common blogging sites, such as WordPress, allow you to easily create a blog from a template, write posts, and upload your photos, videos, and other media as you like.

    If you are an individual looking to highlight your family, vacations, or other personal aspects, you probably don’t need professional website design services. There are many free sites, such as Wix, which will let you create a free site highlighting whatever you wish to share from text to images. However, if you want a custom URL, external hosting, or advanced features, you may have to pay for them.

     

    Do not forego paying for a professional website design if you are an individual highlighting a professional service. This includes sculptors, painters, photographers, writers, and other creative types who want to showcase a portfolio. With a professional website design, clients can easily find your site and see your works. These sites can also show them how to contact you or get a quote.

    In today’s marketplace, successfully marketing a new product or service can be a huge challenge for a small company. This is usually due to a large background of noise created by competing products and services thus making it harder to win the consumer’s attention. As such, even with cheap sources of business card printing services, online advertising, and publicity it can be hard to the create the noise necessary to keep up with the giants of industry. Nonetheless, there are numerous ways in which you can get word of your company out…

    Tips for Marketing a Houston Small Business

    One of the best ways to make your business successful – and who doesn’t want that – is to find new way to increase your marketing capabilities while also reducing your advertising budget. Sure there is the old saying of “it takes money to make money,” however it not necessary to have an advertising budget of the “big boys” to be successful as a small business. So why not look for new avenues in which to market you company in a grand way without the associated grand cost? If it’s because you say you don’t know how, then here are some tips for you:

    • Start Blogging – It may sound pointless but when it comes to online marketing, blogging has become of the most effective methods for many successful companies of all sizes. Starting a blog on your company’s website creates a new avenue with which the company can post content that people will find interesting. As people discover these nuggets of wisdom and interest, they will then turn to your website when they have a question. Viola! You have a new source of advertising.
    • Get Tweeting – Businesses have fallen in love with Twitter. This is mainly because the platform makes it incredibly easy to gather followers with the catch being that these followers to whom you send messages are a potential client base. It’s possible to make special offers on your products or services and send them out your fans on Twitter. The same can be done for the launches of new products and services as well. Developing a following on Twitter is easy too; just have user follow your company on Twitter when they visit your website. From then on you’ll have hundreds to thousands and maybe even millions of followers who will be waiting for that next special tweet from your company.
    • Make your business cards something memorable – Every business has an offline component to it and with such it is just as important to have strong advertising offline as online. This is where the value of the business card comes into play. Business cards are something cheap yet with the potential to be very effective. So the more original and unique your business card is, the more likely it is to stand out from the rest and be more effective at to create interest in your business.
    • Develop rewards programs for loyal customers – Customer’s love knowing when their loyalty is valued by a business. As such, one of the most effective ways of showing that value is by rewarding customers for their loyalty to the company. A mistreated customer is more likely to go to a competitor than one whose love is returned.
    • Post flyers on local community boards – Many companies go this route to market their business and as such it may seem like a virtually ineffective method. However, you should keep in mind that there is a reason why so many companies market themselves in such a manner. Local community boards are an extremely effective manner for companies to get their name out and this is largely due to the surprisingly huge number of people that ready these boards. The best part is that such advertising creates a strong local customer base.
    • Give presentations – Events are great time to give presentations selling the company. Effectively such presentations are sources of interactive advertising as potential customers get to experience firsthand the product or service being presented. From such people will be able to more easily and quickly connect with your company and what it has to offer.

    These listed methods of advertising are great in the sense they are both hugely effective and possible on a small budget. No one ever said that you couldn’t advertise effectively while saving on money, so don’t be afraid to take your business to the next level by employing these methods in order to get word out about your company.

  • Great Marketing Ideas on the Cheap

    Direct Mail Advertising on the Cheap 

    It comes as no surprise for many that marketing can be a costly endeavor. Even with access to cheap printing of business cards and flyer, online marketing, and, if you’re lucky, cheap TV spots, there still is a cost to these advertising media. As such, for many small businesses it can be a challenge to compete with bigger companies and their larger advertising budgets. Nonetheless, who says effective advertising has to cost a fortune.

    Marketing for Cheap

    No matter what, you’re still going to have to spend some money on marketing. Still, no matter what market you’re in or the competition you face it is still possible to market cheaply yet effectively. Even if you may never reach the same level as the giants, it is still possible market your business in a much more effective and target manner than that of the broad spectrum manner employed by those larger companies. How do you do such you ask? Well, the following tips should help you get started:

    • Make Yourself Visible – Making yourself visible is not only extremely effective but necessary as well, thankfully there are a number of ways to do it. For instance, considering hosting a special event to be held outside of your business or office. This will give people the opportunity to both see where you are and what you do. In general, its best to do whatever necessary to get people to see your company’s name and/or logo. While, it might not always be useful to give a marketing spiel to everyone, getting your brand burned into their minds is.

     

    • Get on the Web – No media ever has had as much impact or influence on marketing as the internet has. Quickly it has become one of the most effective tools for advertising. Thus by not taking advantage of this tool you risk losing out on huge marketing opportunities for your business. You don’t necessarily have to sale online, but giving your company a presence online is an excellent way to generate interest. To build this online presence it’s possible to do a number of things: start a blog, create a Twitter feed, create a Facebook page, etc. Basically it boils down to using your resources wisely, as such if handled wisely the internet is capable of generating all kinds of new business and opportunities.

     

    • Traditional Methods – While traditional methods like print, radio, and TV ads may seem cliché, they exist for a reason and this reason is that they work. Likewise, you should consider using such methods. Even if you can’t afford a spot on primetime TV, you should still try to utilize these methods as much as your budget will allow and you too may soon find out the effectiveness of such traditional advertising media.

     

    • Get Innovative – Have you ever seen a sign spinner? If the answer is yes, than you probably recognize the effectiveness of such innovations in advertising. Taking advantages of such innovation can be an excellent way for your company to catch the attention of consumers.

     

    • Old Fashion Word of Mouth – Nothing can be beat word of mouth, when someone you know praises the products or services of a company you are more likely to remember that company in the future. Such effectiveness in advertising makes up for its lack in potential of reaching a broad audience. So consider offering customers special deals or discounts when they recommend a friend as this a great potential in gaining new customers.

    As one can see it doesn’t take much to market your company effectively, with the process essentially consisting of getting word out about your company by any means possible. Still, for a better guarantee of success in marketing its best not limit oneself to a single method of advertising. Whatever mix of methods you ultimately choose, the one listed above will be an excellent start in promoting your company.

  • Why use USPS EDDM? Which Business Benefit the Most?

    USPS EDDM is a targeted form of direct mail that has proven to be more effective than previous generation of direct mail methodologies. Unlike campaigns that involved mail outs to addresses on a marketing list, this new method targets every single address in a targeted geographic area. I can be used on both a small scale and a large scale, depending on the needs of the business.

    USPS EDDM services involve several targeting methods that allow organizations to canvas specific geographic areas. A brief list follows:

    o City/state
    o County
    o Delivery statistics retrieval
    o Zip code plus 4th retrieval
    o Address lookup

    These targeting methods allow organizations to canvas entire regions and reach every resident and/or business within those regional parameters. This amounts to brand positioning delivered directly to the mailbox of the recipient. It has been proven effective in both the generation of repeat business and the acquisition of new business. The precision targeting of these markets, along with the customized nature of the mail outs, generally motivates prospects with a greater degree of effectiveness than standard mail pieces.

    Prior to the implementation of USPS EDDM, many people had come to regard mail outs as too generic to pay any real attention to. The term “junk mail” became a popular colloquialism that was used to categorize any type of unsolicited sales or marketing material. This negative perception, however, is beginning to reverse with a more systematic, conscious, and innately personal means of reaching out to potential customers. Businesses that use this service have products and services that are essential to the lifestyles of residents and companies in their target areas. Persons who receive these mail outs typically pay attention to them because the materials speak directly to their immediate needs.

    Over the past 2 years, we have seen USPS EDDM generate more response than untargeted forms of direct mail. We attribute this primarily to the fact that an untargeted mail out probably does not address the immediate concerns of the recipient. By contrast, recipients are typically quick to move on mail outs that offer quick, convenient access to products and services located near their homes or offices.

    It is not so much the nature of the mail outs themselves, but the conscious targeting of their delivery, that generates a much higher response than untargeted alternatives.

    Many businesses have found that they can dramatically increase inbound qualified leads by timing their USPS EDDM mail services in conjunction with website upgrades and new social media campaigns. Working with a printer such as Catdi makes it possible to synchronize the very first form of direct marketing ever used—direct mail—with the latest advances in online mobile media, video, social media, and content marketing. Custom mail outs can be designed to reflect the brand and the online presence of an organization.

    While this does not take the place of SEO marketing, it does an organization the chance to bypass the competitive race for online rankings and place both its brand and its offerings directly in front of customers who it has already determined have legitimate need for its products or services.

  • Are You Ready? Which Business REALLY Do Well wtih EDDM

    What Businesses Benefit the Most from Every Door Direct Mail?

    In the past three years, we have seen Every Door Direct Mail offer exceptional returns for a number of business types. While EDDM is effective, to some extent, for almost every organization, the following business types have enjoyed the greatest returns on their investment.

    As a printing company, we have also been able to custom design the marketing materials themselves that help promote the specific offerings that each of these organizations deliver.

    Dentists

    Many people do not think of going to a dentist until they feel a severe pain of some kind in their mouth. When this happens, they begin frantically searching online for a dentist. Ironically, they typically find dentists several miles away, not knowing that there is someone right around the corner from where they live. Every Door Direct Mail can remind people within 2-5 miles of a small dental office that someone who may possibly be within walking distance is right down the street from them. This makes it not only convenient for the customer in terms of access, but also in terms of personal safety if any type of pain killer is administered during the visit.

    Dentists can also offer specials on teeth cleaning and teeth whitening services to people less than 10 minutes away from their office.

    Attorneys

    Every Door Direct Mail allows even a small law firm to attract business from people who may not realize just how many situations in life could use legal counsel. Homeowners frequently find themselves in contract disputes with service providers, traffic tickets they did not respect, and a variety of work or business related conflicts that are too complex to address on their own.

    Local attorneys can remind persons in their immediate vicinity that many of these issues can be handled out of court if the person has the right information and game plan to address them. Most attorneys offer a free consultation for such information followed by an hourly rate for more detailed services. EDDM is an excellent way to get people in the area to call for a free phone consultation the next time they face a challenge that could potentially land them in court if they do not take the right steps in the beginning.

    This helps establish connections with local residents that will eventually result in billable hours for any situation that cannot be solved in 30 minutes or less over the phone.

    Dry Cleaners

    Practically everyone needs a dry cleaner, and the most convenient dry cleaners are the ones located on the way to work and on the way home. Offering specials to people along with a map to the location is an excellent way to draw in customers. Every Door Direct Mail provides both a reminder to local residents and an incentive to simply stop by a location they probably drive by every day without noticing.

    Churches

    Every Door Direct Mail has been very effective in helping local churches grow. Over the past 20 years, churches have taken a more community-based approach to religious activity. Family events, programs for students, activities for singles, and special events for children are commonly held in churches of all sizes. Reaching out to a neighborhood base that routinely seeks out such events is an ideal way for religious institutions to offer a practical blend of beliefs, values, and daily life that makes religion relevant to information and activity oriented society.

    To get started with Every Door Direct Mail, a business simply needs to specify the geographic area in which it wishes to promote a service, product, or event. If the business wants to offer specials or discounts, Catdi can handle the design of any coupons, flyers, or promotional pieces and bundle these services into the investment in USPS EDDM delivery.

  • Looking to Go Green? Eco-Friendly Options Now Available Through Catdi Printing

    Looking to Go Green? Eco-Friendly Options Now Available Through Catdi Printing

    Eco Friendly & Green Commercial Printing Services by Catdi Printing starting Jan 1, 2010

    Houston printing and direct mail marketing firm Catdi printing. has recently expanded its eco-friendly printing options into a full division of green commercial printing services. This expansion has been the result of two critical factors. The first of these factors was increasing awareness of environmental concerns in large segments of the Houston marketplace. Many energy companies in Houston have come under increasing social pressure to improve their environmental image. New companies as well have moved into Houston from other cities that were already pursuing green initiatives, bringing their environmentally friendly focus into the Gulf Coast marketplace. Over the last 18 months, orders for recycled paper and printing with soy ink have risen exponentially. We also have maintained this committed to all our nationwide printing facilities.

    President and founder of Catdi, Inc., Carlos Alonso DeSantos, is also an ardent supporter of environmental initiatives, has proactively responded to this new community interest in green printing. Rather than simply taking green printing orders on a case by case basis, Alonso has segmented his duplicated his entire service offerings with eco-friendly equivalents. As of now, all products and services offered by Catdi Printing can be obtained on recycled paper and soy ink. In addition we use by default a water base coating called Aqueous Coating. To be cost competitive for smaller clients on a budget, the paper can be a blend of as little as 10% recycled pulp, or it can range all the way to 100% recycled paper content.

    Carlos Alonso DeSantos took a risk when he calculated that the marginally higher price of soy ink and 100% paper would be something that public relations consultants and Earth conscious clients would be willing to pay. He was right. Since so many organizations are now using green printing services as a form of branding, marketing, and public relations, they actually come to the table already aware that the price point they pay carries with it a return on investment. Because the quality of both recycled paper and soy ink now rivals that of new paper and petroleum-based ink, the differentiation is determined by product benefits, not product image.

    The most obvious benefit that green commercial printing offers is reduced clearing of forests. As the quality of recycled paper rises, the need to cut down existing trees diminishes. Recycling also greatly reduces the amount of paper going into landfills. However, Alonso is quick to point out that people often forget to recycle and throw print media into the trash without thinking. If and when this does happen, however, the soy base of the ink and the water coating used to give print media a “glossy” look is completely biodegradable and non-toxic. While discarding something that could be recycled does on one level constitute a waste, it nevertheless is waste that does not damage to the ecosystem.

    Everything from print collateral, business cards, folders, sales sheets, brochures, and business cards can be ordered from Catdi Printing  green commercial printing services division. Even the electricity Catdi use (Green Mountain Energy) is eco-friendly. As a company already established in the Houston marketplace as a turnkey, rapid delivery source of custom print media solutions, Catdi Printing’s new green commercial printing services is poised to take a leadership role very soon in Houston’s print media advertising community that is beginning to realize both the ethics and the benefits of going green.

  • Why Direct Mail Postcards Still Work in a Down Economy

    Why Direct Mail Postcards Still Work in a Down Economy

    In an unpredictable economy, businesses are constantly on the lookout for marketing methods that deliver a high return without draining resources. While many may feel tempted to cut back on advertising, one cost-effective strategy that continues to prove its worth is direct mail postcards. Postcards bring a unique, tangible touch to customer interactions, and they can have an impressive impact—even when budgets are tight. Here’s why direct mail postcards are a smart investment in today’s economy and how Catdi Printing can help you make the most of this powerful tool.

    The Tangibility and Trust Factor of Direct Mail Postcards

    The Power of Physical Marketing
    In a world where digital ads and emails are ubiquitous, a physical postcard stands out. Tangible items like postcards naturally command more attention because they’re tactile—they’re not just another screen. This physical presence offers a welcome break from digital fatigue and holds customers’ attention in a way that most digital channels simply can’t match.

    Building Trust and Credibility in Uncertain Times through Direct Mail Marketing
    Direct mail establishes credibility and builds trust, making it an essential part of any direct marketing strategy. When customers see your brand in their mailbox, it feels personal and legitimate—qualities that are especially valued during uncertain economic times, particularly in direct mail marketing. Whether you’re a local business or a large corporation, showing up in this tangible way signals stability and reinforces your commitment to connecting with customers on a human level.

    Cost-Effective, High ROI Marketing in a Down Economy

    Lower Costs Compared to Other Advertising Channels
    Compared to other channels like digital ads, TV, or radio, direct mail postcards remain an incredibly affordable option. They’re compact, cost-effective to print, and—depending on the mailing method—can also be budget-friendly to send. With Catdi Printing, you can customize postcards to perfectly fit your brand’s aesthetic without stretching your budget, making this a scalable solution that suits both small businesses and large corporations alike.

    Targeted and Efficient Reach Through Direct Mail Marketing
    One of the greatest advantages of direct mail is its precision. You can target specific geographic areas, demographics, or even customer interests to ensure your message reaches those most likely to respond. In a down economy, maximizing reach while minimizing cost is essential. Postcards provide a high open rate and focused delivery, giving businesses a distinct advantage over less targeted forms of advertising—without the hefty price tag.

    The Advantage of EDDM for Affordable Postage
    For those looking to cut costs on postage costs ( which do go up and up), Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is an excellent option. EDDM allows businesses to reach customers within specific postal routes without the need for individual addresses, making it an ideal choice for local businesses targeting specific areas. This option can help reduce postage costs significantly during slow economic times, enabling businesses to maintain their marketing presence without exceeding their budget.

    By leveraging cost-effective design and targeted delivery through options like EDDM, direct mail postcards offer a powerful, budget-friendly solution that stands out—especially when marketing dollars need to stretch further.

    Measurable Results and Direct Response Opportunities

    Easily Trackable Campaigns
    Direct mail may be traditional, but that doesn’t mean it lacks measurability. Today, postcards can easily be tracked through unique promo codes, QR codes, or custom URLs. By incorporating these tracking tools, you can see exactly how customers engage with your campaign and measure the effectiveness of each postcard sent.

    Driving Immediate Responses
    Postcards are inherently action-oriented, which is ideal for driving quick responses. Simple, clear calls to action—like “Scan for 10% off” or “Visit us today!”—encourage immediate interaction. Direct mail’s focused, straightforward message can be incredibly effective for time-sensitive offers, making it perfect for driving both online and in-store visits.

    Standing Out in a Less Crowded Space

    Reduced Competition in Mailboxes enhances the effectiveness of your direct mail piece.
    With fewer businesses investing in direct mail, the competition in mailboxes is often less intense than online, where ads can feel overwhelming. This scarcity makes postcards even more visible, increasing the likelihood of multiple household members seeing your brand and reinforcing your message across a broader audience.

    Engaging Design and Customization
    A well-designed postcard doesn’t just grab attention; it represents your brand in a visually memorable way. From vibrant color schemes to unique layouts, postcards provide ample room for creativity and personality.

    While direct mail postcards are highly effective, a strong digital presence is equally essential. Cutting corners on web design and local SEO could result in missed opportunities and lost revenue—two things you don’t want in a down economy. Here’s why investing in these areas matters.

    First Impressions Start Online
    Your website often serves as the first point of contact for potential customers. A polished, user-friendly site conveys trust and reliability. If your website is outdated or hard to navigate, visitors may go elsewhere. Investing in quality web design ensures your brand makes a great impression, building confidence and trust right from the start.

    Local SEO Brings Nearby Customers to Your Door
    In tough economic times, reaching nearby customers becomes even more crucial. Local SEO makes your business easier to find in local searches, driving relevant traffic to your website and, ultimately, your location. Simple strategies like optimizing your Google My Business profile and including local keywords ensure that your business appears where it counts.

    Supporting Direct Mail Campaigns
    An effective marketing strategy integrates both print and digital efforts. For instance, a postcard with a QR code that directs customers to your website should lead to a visually appealing, easy-to-navigate landing page. This seamless connection between print and digital ensures a cohesive customer journey, enhancing the impact of your postcard campaign.
