Why choose us?

If you are serious about the success of your business you must be aware that carefully planned initiatives deliver the best results.

From our experience, most businesses undermine their marketing efforts by employing several companies to oversee different aspects of their campaign in an attempt to save money. Most of the time this ends in failure, which is when they approach Redline to create an integrated marketing plan that will ensure that they get the best possible value for money. When you hire Redline Company as your external marketing department you will benefit from a co-ordinated marketing vision. Redline will provide a complete team of marketing professionals to work continuously on your project, holding regular meetings and providing a permanent consultancy service. Thereby relieving you from the burden of financing employment fees such as health care, holiday pay and sickness benefit. Additionally, we have wide experience of the Spanish market and can help your company to tap its potential. You do not want to miss out on the potential of a market consisting of 46 million Spanish people, so let Redlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international and multilingual team give you a head start on the competition.

How does it work?

Whatever the nature of your business, Redline can help you to maximise its potential, BUT your input is vital! If we are to help your company to achieve its full potential we need the assistance of at least one member of staff who can provide us with information of any new products, services, upcoming events or staff news. As with all aspects of marketing, communication is key; we would request that you work closely with us to ensure that all the material that we prepare on your behalf contains accurate and current information.

When Redline becomes YOUR external marketing department, the time can be spent on a combination of the following activities:

Evaluation Get fresh eyes to evaluate and improve your current marketing material.

Brand Creation Starting a new business can be an exciting time, but you should make sure that your company gains maximum recognition. Redline has wide experience in helping new companies to decide on such marketing essentials as corporate logos, slogans and straplines ensuring that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering a congested marketplace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your company stands out from the crowd. If your business is already established we will make sure that we maintain the brand identity throughout all material, including creating a brand manual if you do not already have one.

Meetings At least one monthly meeting will be held to brainstorm new ideas, plan and examine feedback. This is your chance to sit down with the team and discuss your aims and objectives for the month ahead. Every month we prepare an action plan from this meeting so all parties involved will know exactly what will need to be prioritised the following month.

Research Redline undertakes to research the market and define the competition. This will ensure that we are fully appraised of your product or service and the existing market.

Drawing up an Advertising and Marketing Plan Redline undertakes to prepare a full advertising and marketing plan that takes all previous marketing activity into account. The resultant plan will be drawn up with due consideration given to budget and target market. Redline will at all times negotiate the best price possible for advertisements.

Press Releases and Press Liaison We will write and distribute press releases and liaise with appropriate publications. The press release will be tailored in accordance with the media target. We can also write articles suitable for local, national and international magazines and newspapers, although, as usual with media coverage, we cannot guarantee that these will always be published.

Special Events and Press Launches Redline can help you to organise events and launches and provide support on the day. We will also ensure that members of the press are invited.

Web Design, Creation & Maintenance Redline can design, construct and write the content for your website. Whether you already have a corporate site but would like to see better results with targeted SEO content or you are starting a new company from scratch, with our expertise we can build and maintain your website, ensuring that you present a fresh, up-to-date face to your potential clientele. We also include a mobile version, as an extension to the website to optimize its visibility on SmartPhones.

Social Media (good for SEO) Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites are an effective way to draw potential customers to your website. However, few businesses have the time to ensure that their Facebook profiles or Twitter identities are regularly updated and a poorly maintained social media page is worse than not having one at all. Redline can write an agreed number of Facebook messages and Tweets per month and upload them, ensuring that your social media presence is constantly maintained.

Content Marketing incl. blogs (good for SEO) Contemporary marketing philosophy holds that nurturing a relationship with your clients is a far more effective tool than bombarding them with advertising. One of the best ways to provide your clientele with high quality information is via a corporate blog. Whether you use this to feature information about new products or services or as an informal platform to keep them abreast of your activities at trade fairs and exhibitions, Redline can set up your blog and provide a set amount of top quality monthly content. We can also research and produce copy for other relevant blogs within your industry.

Copywriting (English and Spanish) Whether on websites and blogs or in brochures, press releases and newsletters, good quality copy should be taken as read, yet companies frequently undermine their best efforts with poorly written, ungrammatical and misspelled text. Redline Company is able to produce succinct and effective writing for all your marketing material in both English and Spanish. We also specialise in producing web content to SEO standard.

Graphic Design and Print Management We have a wealth of experience in designing such essential materials as websites, flyers, business cards, advertisements, point of sale material and much more. We also offer a full print management service, obtaining estimates on your behalf and working with printers to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the result.

Sourcing of Merchandise Merchandising is an excellent way of reaching new customers, but we find that many businesses need help to decide which items are appropriate for their needs. Redline Company has years of experience in advising and guiding individuals with regard to the nature and quality of their merchandise, and can supervise the process from the beginning to the final branding of the chosen products. 6

Café / Catering

“We are very happy with the results that have already been delivered, via the Happy Hour campaign and the new website.” - Malcolm Spendlove, Passion Café, May 2012

Redline Company was approached by Passion Café primarily to institute a general marketing strategy. This family oriented restaurant already enjoyed a solid reputation locally and therefore has a loyal clientele, but many of these regular visitors tend to arrive during lunch time. The task, then, was to ensure that the footfall extended throughout the evening. Redline proposed a Happy Hour Offer: a two-course meal for a set price between the hours of 19:00 and 22:00, which proved very successful, so much so that Passion Café decided to come up with more such special offers.

Terms and Conditions for external marketing department packages.

You need to sign up for a minimum of 3 months when on a retainer. We require one point of contact in house to enhance the synergy of our work together. The retainer does not include costs for printing, advertising, programming, merchandise, shipping costs, travel expenses and other external costs, but we can quote for these separately. The retainer price is only for Redline’s hours. The monthly fee will be charged up front at the beginning of each month prior to commencing the work. In exceptional circumstances cancellation of the contract by Redline or client, will be accepted with two months’ notice from the date of the lst invoice. Should the client wish to cancel the contract with immediate effect, a one-off penalty fee of 200 euros ex IVA will be payable. Any remaining hours on the client’s account that have not been used due to lack of interest from the client, will be valid for 3 months from the date of the last invoice and are none-refundable. After 3 months they will be deemed as spent. If you need extra hours during busier months/periods we can quote for them separately. All media relationships are solely property of Redline, during the time of the marketing retainer and onwards. We can only make the effort to send information and follow it up. Editorial can never be guaranteed as the editorial team of the publication always has the final choice of content. This is why we always suggest that our clients have a small advertising budget to gain guaranteed visibility in the press. Please note that we take great pride in our marketing and will work hard to bring you the best results but all parts of the business chain must work together in order to ensure overall success. Business processes must be in practice making sure you follow up any leads, ensure your telephones are answered in a professional, courteous manner, making note of where leads are coming from, updating your database and answering emails promptly. We want to work with you as part of a successful team achieving the desired results. Before any marketing activity can commence it is essential that the Redline team can visit the client in order to learn more about the company, or the product/product range and also evaluate the existing marketing activities that have been carried out so far. Redline needs to see the previous marketing activities such as advertisements, press releases and so on. Images provided by Redline in design work cannot be distributed individually. Our website does not support flash, nor do we recommend the use of Flash supported software as it is not compatible with search engines, iPads and iPhones. When we design and programme websites, we always use the latest software available. In the future, it may be necessary to upgrade the website for the components to work properly. Such upgrades are included in the packages, however, we would like to make you aware, that it may also be necessary to spend additional time on maintenance at some point in the future.
