As the most populous city in Texas, everything really is bigger in Houston, including the love shown to small businesses. Houston is considered a “surge city” for small businesses and the Space City ranks fourth in friendliness for small business owners. The more businesses there are, the fiercer the competition, which is why so many rely on marketing agencies in Houston to share their message of value with consumers. Doing a simple search for “top advertising agencies in Houston” might put you off the agency hunt altogether, as top search results are simply ad agency lists with no specifics on which solutions each agency provides or what they can deliver in terms of marketing ROI. It’s a time-consuming process and your efforts are best spent elsewhere.
What your Houston small business really needs is a marketing partner that understands your industry, our marketplace and what works to drive local consumers to your business. That’s Valpak of Greater Houston. And it all starts with our targeted direct mail. If you’re interested in advertising across the Lone Star State, we reach more than 2.4 million consumers every month in areas such as Austin, Dallas, Greater Fort Worth and San Antonio.
Since 1968, Valpak has operated as the national leader in direct mail with nearly 140 office locations. Many of Valpak’s Houston advertising clients once relied solely on digital marketing. That is, until they realized how crowded this advertising vertical has become and the ROI results they could achieve from layering targeted direct mail into their advertising plan. With Valpak, your direct mail ad is individually printed. You’re not sharing ad space with other advertisers, so you get increased visibility and our targeting capabilities prequalify your leads for you. The great thing about direct mail is it can stir up interest in consumers who weren’t necessarily looking for your business. If you’ve never tried print advertising before, start with Valpak. Nobody knows this marketing channel better than us. Our direct mail products include:
Reach new consumers with our best-selling direct mail format. Coupons are mini billboards that incentivize local consumers to try and come back to your business. Custom design your own insert or choose from hundreds of proven designs. Through 50+ years of historical data, we can recommend the best offer for your business depending on the industry and time of year. Your Valpak of Greater Houston marketing team can also help you determine the optimal frequency and reach of your campaign as well as the results you can expect to achieve.
Local businesses that need more advertising space than our traditional coupon insert should seriously consider adding flyers and circulars to their direct mail marketing strategy. Consumers can’t help but notice these larger print formats. Use flyers and circulars to promote your seasonal events (anniversaries, sales, etc.). They also work well for community business organizations, multilocation businesses wanting to target around underperforming stores or businesses that need bulk orders to hand out at trade shows, industry expos or in-store for customers.
Achieve maximum response for your marketing dollar by integrating postcards into your Blue Envelope program. You can reach new territories, promote time-sensitive events and seasonal offerings with messaging and formats tailored to your brand. With 1-to-1 custom postcards, you can reach every household in desired ZIP codes (no mailing list required), choose your target customer from 300 specific demographics/behaviors, use your own customer list to retain/win back clients or introduce your business to consumers who’ve recently moved to your area.Event postcards are an automated postcard service that reaches a new audience each month. Audiences focuses include birthday, new mover/homeowner and Medicare aging-in. If you’re new to solo direct mail/postcards, neighborhood-targeted postcards are limited-inventory PlusOne postcards that mail to the same high-income households as The Blue Envelope and include email marketing.
60% of people expect brands to provide “information they need when they need it” but less than half feel brands are delivering. It’s essential for your business to select a Houston advertising and marketing agency that understands the immediacy demanded by today’s shoppers. One that advocates for omnichannel marketing to reach consumers no matter where they are in the purchase journey.
Together, direct mail and digital advertising give consumers the freedom to evaluate and purchase from your business via their preferred channel, which only serves to increase the ROI of your marketing efforts. While Valpak is best known for its direct mail prowess, we’re also the local digital marketing gurus. Our team has extensive knowledge in Google Ads and all things digital. We can help you determine which of these Houston digital marketing services would best benefit your business.
Your business website should show and tell your story, your way! Our team of web development experts will work with you to help you tell your best story to the most people. Choose from a templated website or create your own design with custom content, colors, photos and more. We build your website to be mobile-friendly and responsive to the screen size on which its viewed (smartphone, desktop, laptop, tablet). From hosting and domain registration to tracking, reporting and analytics, everything you need for a robust website is included.
Search engine marketing (SEM) is internet advertising placement used to direct traffic to a website, typically displayed on search engine results pages. Advertisers bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market and pay the host each time their ad is clicked. Paid search is one of the quickest methods to help a website actively compete online. We increase or decrease keyword bids on an hourly basis, ensuring your marketing dollars are hyper-focused when and where consumers are searching for the products or services you offer.
Display advertising utilizes the vast reach of the Google Display Network and YouTube to advertise your business to potential consumers who are viewing similar or related content on other sites. Display ads help you find new customers and engage with your existing customers through targeting. You can even remarket to people who’ve recently visited your website or app. There are multiple packages available, based on your ad budget and marketing need. Talk to your Valpak advertising team to explore this digital marketing service.
Social media advertising is an essential building block to brand awareness and customer connection. Through targeted ads, we’ll help you build your brand awareness and keep conversations flowing..
