For every interior decorators' and designers' supplies wholesale and manufacturers business success story, there many more interior decorators' and designers' supplies wholesale and manufacturers businesses struggling to survive.

However, foundational marketing principles may not be enough to capture the attention of buyers in today's market. Effective marketing now means translating market learnings into techniques and tactics that are relevant to your business.

Marketing Collateral

Every piece of collateral your interior decorators' and designers' supplies wholesale and manufacturers business creates is a tangible reflection of your brand distinctive and core values. To squeeze the most impact from your collateral, it needs to be targeted toward its recipients. Delivered to the wrong person, a valuable piece of collateral will collect dust. For direct mail campaigns, premium mailing lists from established vendors can protect the value of your investment. It doesn't make sense to invest time and creativity in marketing collateral only to drop the ball on distribution. Without proper attention to distribution details, your interior decorators' and designers' supplies wholesale and manufacturers business's brochures, direct mail letters and other content has no value.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Having a strong logo for an interior decorators' and designers' supplies wholesale and manufacturers business is a big deal. A logo is a visible representation of your organization's mission, identity, and values. Without a high-quality logo, your brand will simply blend in with the rest of the marketplace and gain little traction with consumer audiences. Although it's possible to create your own logo, most internally generated logos lack polish and punch. Even if your logo concept sounds simplistic, we recommend contracting your logo to a professional marketing and design firm because it's likely that the logo will be the face of your company for years to come.

Directories

A directory listing may be one of the best ways to increase the visibility of an interior decorators' and designers' supplies wholesale and manufacturers business. When all of your competitors are listed in a directory, you have no choice in the matter. To keep pace, competitive businesses must include the same directories in their plans for marketing interior decorators' and designers' supplies wholesale and manufacturers businesses in a region or territory. Premium directories may or may not deliver the ROI you expect to receive from paid marketing vehicles. Regardless of whether it is a premium or free listing opportunity, every directory needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Some directories may also let you list more than your name and contact information, so be sure to ask whether your listing can include a logo and other information about your business.
