“If you build it, they will come…”

Marketing is all about how the public perceives your company.

The look of your website (or lack of a website) portrays an instant image to your customers, be it good or bad. Does your website make you look modern, classic, and professional? Or does it make you look out-dated, cheesy, and shady? How does your website compare to that of a competitor? Do you even have a website?

Using your advertising to direct its audience to your company’s website is an incredibly efficient marketing strategy. A website should be designed to sell your company, products, and services. It should be a tool for the customer as well, to be able to learn about your company, history, services, etc.

Another effective method of directing current and potential customers/clients to your website is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO improves the volume and quality of web traffic search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. RSA has risen to a level of expertise in this area as well. For example, if your search is “Rapid City ad agency,” or even “South Dakota ad agency,” RSA has positioned itself on the first page of results, very near the top.

When consumers get online to search the area options for doctors, builders, insurance, florists, realtors, attorneys, chiropractors, gyms, amusement, fine jewelry, plumbers, etc., will they find your company on the first page of their search results? When consumers search for the products or services that you offer, are they lead to your website, a local competitor, or some company out of Georgia or New York?

SEO and the quality of your website are incredibly powerful marketing tools.

As society grows more modern, technical, and competitive, the above are very important points to consider. Robert has developed a creative and professional team of experts in areas of company image, web development, and SEO. If you are concerned about your company image and how your market perceives it, call us at RSA!

This year’s fourth quarter was a busy one at RSA. We’ve moved, expanded, traveled, and had a lot of fun!

Thank you to all of you that came out to our open house in October and helped us eat all of that food! It was great to see everyone and chat a while. We were eating leftover bratwursts here at the office for weeks. Markus Erk was the winner of our Simpson identity contest with 100% correct matches. He won a Suite stay with Hickock’s in historic Deadwood, SD. Congratulations Markus and thanks to the rest of you for playing along.

The RSA team has undergone recent shifting and expanding to accommodate our growth, particularly in regard to Web Development and SEO this last quarter. We have repositioned some of our key employees and brought in some new talent to continue excelling in web, graphic, and media technology. Allan Emerson, for example, has moved from graphic and print into more web-based designing.

Justin Mather has played a major role in the success of our company for several years; his talent and performance demands appreciative attention. With the recent growth and changes in web development, Justin has been promoted to Director of all Print Production! To ensure that as RSA expands into new media, we don’t loose sight of what got us here to begin with.
