It may be called “The Alamo City” but San Antonians know it takes more than a historic landmark to lure 66 new residents to the city each day. In fact, the capital of Mexican-American culture, which was once a small, secluded city is now the fastest-growing and seventh-largest metropolis in the U.S. As the city has changed, advertising in San Antonio has changed with it.
Along the River Walk, next to the tourist-friendly attractions and trendy cafes, the personality of San Antonio comes alive. However, the business climate goes beyond tourism and history. San Antonio is experiencing a major boom while still holding on to its 300-plus year history and character. San Antonio is proud of the commitment to industries that will continue to propel it forward like health care and bioscience, finance and insurance, and technology and new energy. In the next decade, job growth is expected to reach 39.6% in San Antonio, higher than the national projected average of 33.5%.
San Antonio businesses of all sizes must grab the attention of the growing number of consumers and stay top of mind. Whether it’s a large corporation in the Central Business District or a family-owned cantina on the West Side, the only way to be one step ahead of the competition is with a combination of online marketing and direct mail advertising in San Antonio.
If you’re looking for advertising in San Antonio, your vetting process must be thorough. Several marketing agencies in San Antonio claim to be full service and can handle every aspect of small business marketing but fall short of their promise.
Valpak of San Antonio can easily compete with – and often surpass – major San Antonio firms, providing solutions tailored to your specific business needs. Whether you’re a neighborhood grocery store or a major player like the San Antonio Stock and Rodeo Show, Valpak customizes each campaign – digital and print – with great precision, keeping your company’s unique needs in mind.
Plus, advertising with Valpak costs as little as pennies per household, which makes it budget-friendly while producing results. The Valpak Blue Envelope reaches 220,000 top households every month in San Antonio, Laredo, New Braunfels, Boerne, Kerrville, Seguin and surrounding communities. In the Lone Star State, we mail to 2+ million consumers monthly (including cities like Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and more).
Valpak is widely considered the leader in direct mail advertising, mailing more than 430 million Blue Envelopes to close to 39 million targeted households last year. However, our command of digital marketing is just as formidable. Valpak produces continued growth and success for clients on various digital platforms. Today, Valpak hosts 4 million users a year – 59% from mobile platforms. When you partner with Valpak for digital marketing, you can follow every campaign with marketing analytics and performance tracking to prove ROI. Valpak is a true full-service advertising agency providing multichannel solutions other San Antonio marketing firms can’t.
In today’s on-the-go climate, your website must also be mobile-friendly. Valpak’s website design team will ensure consumers find your business whether they’re at home or out and about with responsive web design that scales across all devices. Our design team will create a professional, functional and engaging business website that communicates your company’s message through unique content.
Search engine marketing (SEM), also known as pay-per-pick (PPC) quickly gets your site to the top of search engine results pages (SERPs). Your ad acts as an online billboard, reaching up to millions of consumers and motivating them to visit your site. Valpak’s highly skilled experts will handle your campaign’s management from setup to optimization.
Targeted mobile display advertising builds awareness by getting your digital ads in front of the right audience. Our graphic design team can create eye-catching ads – from banners to digital billboards – that target devices based on location, intent and interest and will keep your brand at the top of consumers’ minds.
Like targeted display advertising, 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.
With a business profile page on valpak.com, you’ll extend your reach to our network of sites and directories. Your business will attract local consumers looking for your product or service with engaging content 24/7.
Digital marketing can be a powerful vehicle for branding, advertising and customer engagement. But it must be done right. Merging digital and print advertising gives you the biggest bang for your marketing buck. Although email has a high ROI, its response rate falls flat. Nothing compares to direct mail’s response rate, which beats all digital platforms by a landslide.
For small businesses, using an multichannel approach leaves your competition battling a 1-2 punch that’s not easy to contend with. Valpak’s award-winning Smart Envelope is your secret weapon, with advanced hyper-targeting capabilities that will deliver a TKO.
Our extensive research and data analysis give insight into consumer purchase intent, enabling your ad to reach specific households proven to spend money on your industry. This data shows San Antonians who receive Valpak earn more income than the local average.
Research also shows these consumers look forward to seeing your ad in Valpak every month: 9 out of 10 of households that receive The Blue Envelope® open it and 8 out of 10 look at every insert inside.
