Social Transparency

 

 

 

Social Media Marketing is becoming one of the fastest growing sectors of marketing. More and more businesses are using social media websites to connect with their clients. In fact, computer maker Dell states that they have made over 2 million dollars in revenue using social media tools.

One of the reasons Social Media Marketing is successful is because it employs the idea of transparency in business. Businesses are using Social Media websites like Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, Linkedin and many others to connect with their current and potential customers. Potential customers and consumers can find out who the business is and even meet the people behind that business before ever purchasing the product. By becoming transparent or open to the public’s eyes (and scrutiny) a business that uses Social Media Marketing tools allows itself to create a good relationship with their customers and clients and ultimately establish trust in their products or services.

Transparency and Social Media go hand in hand. As more businesses use social media marketing tools, more people will grow accustomed to level of transparency they expect from the businesses they use. Red Tree Agency creates a customized Social Media presence for any business and knows how to cater to each business’s goals. By using Red Tree Agency, your business will stay on top of the competition.

The more people you know the more you grow

If you own your own business or you are a professional, networking is the most important method to increase your revenues and expand your client list. I’m talking about the traditional networking that is face to face. I’ve seen many getting away from traditional networking and losing out on all that it has to offer. Nothing can replace the face to face contact and the relationships that you can solidify by meeting live people. While it is absolutely essential to use all those networking sites available to you like facebook and linkedin, you must also dust off those slacks and join actual humans at events.

Recently, Red Tree Agency was asked to build a website for someone who wanted to connect the Arizona Greek community professionals and business owners. Their site is www.azgreeknetworking.com and it looks great. AZ Greek Networking helps foster relationships with people who have a common bond which in turn helps them grow their networks. If you build a good base with your community, you will have the strong support you need to grow your business or professional career.

what’s blogging got to do with it

I often get asked, “how can blogging help my business?” and it’s usually with a sarcastic undertone. And I often reply that “it’s all about the key words stupid.” For instance, let’s take my company Red Tree Agency. As I am writing this blog, I am including key words for my business such as Red Tree Agency, www.redtreeagency.com, Phoenix, website design, web site design, graphic designer, brand development, logo construction, social media marketing, eCommerce development, video production, iPhone Application Development and much more.

The above list are things that my company does, but by including them in a blog with other key words, I am able to let my audience know what we do and also able to optimize my own blog and website, thus increasing traffic to my business when it is searched through google or yahoo or whatever and increasing my bottom line. I tell my clients that by simply writing a blog once a day that includes keywords and something interesting for their readers, their revenues would increase.

Not everyone has the time to sit down and think of clever things to say on a blog. That’s why we offer that as a service at Red Tree Agency. It’s part of our social media marketing campaign we do for businesses. Check out this interesting article regarding the boston celtics:

And adding links to other relevant websites and articles is one way to enhance your readers experience and optimize your blog.

I know it’s self serving, but one more time for all the keyword fanatics: Phoenix, Tempe, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, Avondale, Mesa, yes, even Los Angeles, Arizona, Red Tree Agency, Red Tree, Social Media Marketing, Web Design, Website Design, graphic designer, brand development, logo construction, social media marketing, eCommerce development, video production, iPhone Application Development.

Photo Shoot with Sexy Doors

IronWood Door and Molding, one of our clients, hired us to do a brochure for his door company and it required us to go to his factory and take pictures of his doors and compile them into a great brochure for his company. The work was fun and required some heavy lifting. The photos were then entered into our computers for some touch ups and assembled by our master designer Chris Kontakis.

Brochures are a great way to promote your company because you give your customers something tangible to take with them when they leave your office. That brochure is a representation of your professionalism and dedication to your work. We put a lot of time and effort into IronWood Door and Molding’s brochure because we know how important it is to increasing his revenues.

New Phoenix Marketing Agency Launches

Red Tree Agency, LLC is a full service marketing agency focused on internet marketing.

Phoenix, Arizona (October 27th, 2009) – Chris Kontakis and Chris Agra, two well respected entrepreneurs in Arizona, have joined their efforts to create Red Tree Agency, LLC based in Phoenix, Arizona. Red Tree Agency is focused on delivering brand marketing which is intended to create maximum brand awareness and loyalty. Red Tree Agency services include web design, brand development, logo design, creative consulting, video production, social media marketing, application design, software user-interface design, iphone application development, radio ad spots, package design, email campaigns and visual communication based projects.

The two business entrepreneurs bring a wealth of experience to Red Tree Agency. In 2001 Chris Kontakis, Red Tree Agency co-founder, started Ena Media – a web and graphic design company that quickly grew from a one-man show to a full web design firm. He later created Plat4M Design Studio, a full servicing internet marketing firm in 2007 located in the heart of Tempe, Arizona. Mr. Kontakis is responsible for the agency’s creative management on a day-to-day basis that produces not only visually impressive projects but also functional campaigns to help promote business growth.

Chris Agra is the other co-founder of Red Tree Agency, LLC. Mr. Agra brings a wealth of knowledge and management skills to the forefront of the company. In 2004, Mr. Agra graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations. He later pursued his law degree at Gonzaga University and graduated with his JD in 2007. Mr. Agra brings his knowledge of the law to Red Tree Agency to help manage and promote the company.

According to the two principals of branding, “brand development is more than just having a nice logo, it’s the definition of your company, the attitude, and everything it stands for in your company. Branding is a combination of everything put together through a complex strategy of networks, press releases, blogs, online videos and much more, that helps create and establish a business of who you are, and who you will be. It’s the first impression.”

Sweep Up Your Digital Dirt

It goes without saying that the internet has innumerous tools we use to enhance our lives and businesses. But some negative side effects to the internet are prohibiting people from getting their dream job.

The internet allows potential employers to do a background check on you before they decide to hire you. If you Google yourself, you might see some unflattering pictures you took while on spring break in Cancun or some negative comments an ex girlfriend or boyfriend wrote about you.

RedTree Agency, the company I own, based out of Phoenix, Arizona, has a system designed to clean up all that Digital Dirt that may be clogging your efforts at a new job or raise. Additionally, while cleaning up that dirt, we also project a positive image that any employer would love to see. We’ve helped many people clean up their image on the internet and land that dream job.

New Campaign Beginning

We have begun a new social media campaign for a bar/lounge/club located in Tempe, Arizona right on Mill Avenue! The place is called Suite 301. We’re shooting video this Friday of the bar and the dance scene. It should be really fun.

We’ll post that video on the web along with a blitz of social media marketing catered to Suite 301. It’s all designed to create a bigger presence for Suite 301 on the web and also connect to existing and future customers of the bar.

Social Media is fast becoming the marketing of choice for many businesses. Recognizing the importance of direct communication to customers, businesses have jumped on the opportunity to solidify and grow their revenue through social media marketing.

The most important aspect of social media marketing and networking is to listen. By listening to its customers, businesses can improve their relationships with those customers and improve upon its business overall. If a business doesn’t listen, they will not establish a proper relationship with their customers and miss the whole reason social media marketing works.

So, look for new video and a full social media marketing campaign for Suite 301 within the next few days and thanks for reading.
