Advertising: Print

March 12th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Advertising

One of the main concerns we hear from Advertising and Sales Managers is their frustration in generating a return on investment with their print advertising. They agree bigger is better (size), but bigger is expensive. More ads are better (frequency), but more ads are expensive. Sales and Marketing naturally try to get the most out of the expense by saying as much as they can in one tiny little space. After all of that, the final challenge is trying to stand out in an overcrowded publication composed of 65%-90% advertisements.

Ideahaus® helps companies develop print advertising by creating a visual distinction that gets attention and delivers a clear message to help the prospect create a vision of need for their product or service.

We have experience in developing print advertising for newspaper, magazine and trade publications. We have worked with one-color, spot-color and four-color environments. We have worked within ad spaces from classifieds to full-page ads to multiple page. We have designed single ads to full-scale ad campaigns and have experience in providing traditional “camera-ready art” as well as electronic files.

Corporate Identity

March 12th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Corporate Identity

One of the first challenges companies have in communicating to their markets is presenting themselves. The market is as “first-impression” as high school and you don’t get a second chance. Developing the name, the color, the images, the mark that becomes their “look” is mission critical, and Ideahaus has been able to help CEO’s, Marketing Directors and Brand Managers successfully position their products and services with our corporate identity services.

Ideahaus® helps companies develop their corporate identity by helping them understand their markets, its application, exploring strategic options and developing the characteristics of names, logos and icons that will represent them.

We’ve specialized in corporate identity development since 1990 and have worked with products and services in a wide range of markets. Our knowledge of other communications vehicles helps us understand related applications and implications of stationery systems, signage, advertising, packaging, marketing collateral, web sites and events. Our work has received prominent awards and recognition, including being published in American Corporate Identity, a “showcase of the best corporate identities in the country.”

A site or a blog? I think it’s a slog.

March 12th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Development

So in thinking through the next evolution of communication for Ideahaus® we discussed a new site, and we discussed a blog. And we discussed what we actually wanted to do, what we wanted to share, and with who we wanted to do it. Seems as if we figured it out.

We call it “slog”.

One part site and three parts blog. Slog. It could have been a “bite”; one part blog, three parts site but we wanted more communication (synchronous and asynchronous) than that.

We’re just getting WordPress installed on a Verio server since the freebie self-installer is less than “feature-rich” and tech support won’t be of much help. Sorry, guys ;-(

Any suggestions are more than welcome. - kp
