This is the foremost reason why several advertising agencies exist, why the Internet is so well known, why demand for a product can increase drastically over a short time and why several other things have become what they are today. Marketing comes in all shapes and sizes, many of which occur in everyday events. The main concern here is no longer if a company needs to do marketing but how and which would be more efficient.

The various forms of marketing can appear as simple banners on the streets, television commercials, flyers distributed outside stores and even through word-of-mouth (which would be referred to as viral marketing). Each form of marketing has its own strengths and weaknesses. Aside from the different avenues of marketing, clients have to consider the mechanics, the research behind each option, before spending valuable budget only to obtain little or no results at all.

Before selecting the right marketing tool, clients need to understand how the target audience thinks and from there, which marketing avenue would complement these factors effectively. Consumers from a younger generation will usually visit certain parts of town and more specifically, only particular shopping malls. After knowing this information, clients will know not only what products to advertise but where to advertise.

The factors discussed above are only a tip of the marketing iceberg. With a multitude of other factors to take into consideration, it is advisable to seek marketing advice from companies who understand the industry better. DMV provides not only in-depth understanding of a client’s marketing needs but which marketing option is recommended and why. Marketing services provided by DMV include flyer and brochure distribution, newsletter blasting, search engine marketing, blog marketing, SMS blasting and the list goes on.

In this day and age, marketing materials need to stand out from their competition as much as possible. With several forms of media available, criterion on how each advertisement can appeal to various target groups can vary greatly. Furthermore, advertisements in high traffic areas need to grab the target audience's attention at first glance - not the first look, but fleeting glance - especially Singapore who ranked first in a 2007 study* regarding the average walking speed over a certain distance!

The various mediums where advertisements can appear on include: television, web videos, posters, banners, website banners, web pages, logos, flyers, brochures, newsletters and the list goes on. The designs selected for each of these mediums will have to be just as varied since for example, creating flash animations on a website will not be possible on a brochure. However, the design concept and elements has to maintain a certain degree of consistency while keeping their attention grabbing attributes. Moreover, how one design appeals to a target group may not be as attractive to another target group, which may also fall under the target audience in general.

That is why with DMV¡¯s design services, clients can be assured of not only quality designs, but that they will be well-researched and thought through before being proposed.

Providing colourful advertisements or beautifully printed collaterals would be meaningless without the backing of a strong message, which the target audience can relate to. In other words, the marketing message has to appeal to both the consumer’s eyes and mind. On the other hand, hurling huge and bombastic words into the face of consumers without researching if the target market does understand such terms will result in extremely damaging repercussions.

These powerful messages can come in the form of an impact statement, a slogan or even a short product description. Whichever its form, the copy will serve as the extension that provides the connection between consumers and medium. However, the copy used must remain within the consumer’s grasp and not spiral out of context, serving only to confuse the target audience. This in turn will dilute the intended message, hence reducing the effectiveness of the advertisement.

The copywriting team aims to fully understand the clients’ needs and be in sync with the advertisement message before providing the copy.
