The Best Marketing in the World Can’t Fix a Bad Brand

The currency of business is

ATTENTION When you hear the word ‘marketing’, what do you think? Most people roll their eyes, and expect a drawn out sales pitch, or a page-long study about how a multi-million dollar business should advertise themselves. What about the average business owner, though? Marketing can be simple. However, most people find it complicated. It’s about defining your brand and using it to grab the attention of your audience. If you don’t have a cohesive brand, you’re never going to get the business attention, and if you don’t have a complete marketing mix, you’re never going to have a cohesive brand. If you don’t have the right content, you’re never going to capture the attention that drives sales.

Get in the

MIX

It’s time to start thinking about your marketing mix as an undeniable part of your business. No business can succeed with just one type of marketing. You absolutely need print, social media and digital marketing, but it’s just as important to include radio and television when it makes sense for your brand. We’ll let you in on how HIGHLY effective print is - you’re reading this right now… point proven. No, seriously, print connects with readers in a way that digital and social media can not. It creates a high quality brand recognition that you can’t get anywhere else, and it gives your brand instant credibility. Print has always been a top-of-funnel medium, and that isn’t changing any time soon. Readers engage with a printed magazine in a different way than they do with digital. In the age of FAKE NEWS, print continues to be the most credible source of information. However, not all print is created the same. Publications with a proven record in your target community have a deeper resonance with readers. On top of that, bringing print and digital strategies together creates a space where you’re visible, trusted, and at the top of the market.

If you are doing business in 2018, you know you need a social voice & to build a digital brand, but you need to do it the right way! Phones have two purposes - utility & social interaction. If you’re not adding this into your plan you are crazy! Quality content is the most important aspect of social media marketing, and it goes a lot deeper than writing a one sentence post and pairing it with a generic picture. You need to CRUSH IT, OWN IT, DOMINATE because the attention span of the average social media user is fast and furious. If you are not focusing on the content that you put out on the most important social platforms, you’re going to become mute and obsolete in the modern day business world. That’s why reach is so important - the impression you get when someone comes directly to your page is just solidifying what they saw in print.

tell your

STORY

Defining what it is that you do, and which audiences you cater to is key to putting together the perfect marketing combo. The trick here is to stick to your definition. Don’t let sales or trends change your brand. If you’re not sure what niche you cater to, do a little research. Send out e-blasts and measure your open rate. Take surveys. Research case studies. Put together focus groups. Bring in a professional. Do what it takes to keep your foundation strong.

Here’s the thing: no amount of paid media is going to turn bad creative into good content. That’s why you need to invest in the long-game of improving your brand’s content and you do that by creating tons of it.

#logo

FOMO

Your logo is the first, and sometimes only, impression that customers are going to take away from your brand. Do you want them to see something you did in five minutes? Or do you want them to see a professionally developed snapshot of who you are? It’s important to remember that as your company grows, your logo should also evolve. Everyone needs a little updating every now and then. Don’t be that sad brand that’s stuck in the 90s. You want to be the company living in 3018 when everyone else is still in 2018.

are you

CONNECTED? It’s incredibly important, particularly for small business owners, to make a connection with your audience. Thanks to your expertly curated marketing mix, they know what you do and the product you offer, but do they know who you are? In this case, the multi-million dollar company and the mom & pop shop are the same. People want to spend their money with someone who they feel connected to. Let’s be honest - you LOVE watching reality television. You love seeing how the most outrageous people live their lives. It’s so fascinating that an entire generation of people got hooked on watching everything from the kids in Beverly Hills do their laundry, go to the gym, and lie around tanning to housewives living their extreme day to day. You can capture the attention of the next generation with quality behind the scenes stories - that’s what makes content actually INTERESTING!

control your

BRAND

While your content strategy is a huge part of your brand, there’s another piece that needs just as much attention - public relations. In the field, the phrase ‘if you don’t think you have public relations, you’re just not the one in control of it’, is a commonly uttered expression. The reason professionals say it so often is because it’s true. Every single business has some sort of public relations. Those who take control of their PR are the ones who control their brand. It’s never too late or too early to start curating your brand and its media presence. Start by answering some basic questions for yourself, like ‘what does my business do?’, ‘who are we reaching out to?’, ‘what kind of marketing have we done up to this point?’, and ‘where do we want to go with our marketing?’. If you’re struggling and you want to create MORE business attention, it’s time to call us. We have an experienced and fun team who can help guide you through the development of a smart, trendy, and effective marketing plan that will take your company exactly where you want to go. Welcome to the future of marketing, PR Luxury Media style.

An Escape for all Once you’ve been to Destin, it’s difficult to stay away. The allure of the emerald green waters, the exciting activities for everyone in the family, and the beachside restaurants beckons year after year. With gorgeous rental properties offered through Newman-Dailey, aweinspiring views, and a short drive from home, Destin is the beach destination your family deserves. If you don’t want to take the short car ride (you can make it there in less than 10 hours), you can hop to Pensacola International Airport. When you’re in Destin, you’re not just vacationing; you’re a native. Leave stuffy hotel rooms behind, and unlock luxury with the vacation rentals offered through Newman-Dailey Resort Properties. From cozy condos perfect for a couple, to opulent homes big enough for the whole family, they have a range of options to fit each individual family’s needs. “At Newman-Dailey, we think of our guests as extended family and treat them just as we would our of family, providing warm welcomes, personal suggestions and special offers to help stretch their budget,” said Jeanne Dailey, owner of Newman-Dailey.

A gem of the home is the open kitchen fit for a gourmet chef. The long granite island seats five and opens up to the dining room with seating for eight more - room for the whole crew! The back yard boasts a raised spa that overflows into a sun-drenched pool where kids and grownups alike can splash, relax, and get the most out of their vacation. The home is in a gated-community, which gives parents a sense of security as their kids explore the grounds. Guests have access to the community amenities including a gym, and can even enjoy the use of a golf cart during their stay, which makes hopping from the house to restaurants and the beach. Most importantly, the location makes it easy to access favorite local hot spots, including some of the freshest and most coveted restaurants on the Gulf Coast.

paws up! Story and photos by Linda Bauer, author of Capitol Hill Cooks

Texans love ranches and I am no exception. With stays at eighteen of them under my belt, I was intrigued by the prospect of four days at the Paws Up Ranch, a 37,000-acre working Montana ranch just outside of Missoula. With three hundred head of elk, and several hundred stunning Black Angus, plus one Longhorn roaming the rolling pastures of the Ranch, it is a feast for the eyes with majestic snow capped mountains in the distance and peppered with numerous activity sites. Various forms of lodging are found here from six star glamping (glamorous camping) in beautifully appointed huge tents with gorgeous bathrooms and plenty of space and many overlooking the rushing river to Wilderness Estate homes, similar to homes in The Woodlands. They have a place to stay that suits any variation in taste. The drivers greet each guest at the airport and are a wealth of information and fun, treating each person’s interests and needs throughout their visit. This ranch is so different than any other I had visited, as you need transportation to go from one place to another via a call to the drivers or shared use of each residence’s lime green Kia to take you to your destination. I think that Council Bluffs House in Wilderness Estates, where I spent three nights, has the most amazing view of the snow topped and sun kissed mountains with superb baths, walk in closets, and a beautiful fireplace with full loft and living quarters, plenty of fine kitchen facilities and tasty treats. The turn down service is superb. My only concern was that the estate home was not at all soundproof when anyone above talks or walks. It would be superb for a family however and the entire ranch is often rented for corporations as well as glamping areas for birthdays and family reunions. The property offers a plethora of Montana dude ranch activities, such as cattle drives, trail rides and chuck wagon dinners. They take pride in the many wilderness adventures, such as fl y-fi shing with excellent guides on the Blackfoot River, where ten miles actually flow through the ranch. The unique rope challenge offers a strength test, then and you

can rappel down cliffs explored by Lewis & Clark to test your mettle, then take an individual ATV on a stunning trip for those seeking an adrenaline rush and memory of a lifetime. My favorite was the sixteen station sporting clays shooting venue where three hours of instruction by friendly young teachers was superb with eye popping views of Montana at her finest. The instructors were so excellent that none of us had any pain from the kickback after our session. They also have an Old West .22 rifle range for those six years and older. Chef Ben Jones, the Executive Chef at the ranch held a two hour workshop during the specialty weekend which occurs twice a year and his culinary skills are only exceeded by his passion and knowledge of sourcing the finest ingredients and inspiring others to return home and do the same. He makes Kambucha and charcuterie for the ranch which is served at the Trough and other restaurants. His halibut class was amazing, peppered with wisdom, personal quips and fun for all. Throughout the year he has famous chefs come for various specialty events. Those glamping, have a totally different experience with breakfast and dinner in your area with special cooks and all ranch guests have lunch at the Trough each day which I find totally intriguing. Up to 250 (if at full capacity) guests would eat there to share food and stories. Room service is also available. Pomp, the fine dining restaurant, is perfect in every way. My personal favorite was the family style dinner with the chef of Plonk in Missoula making magical food. The huge Wilderness Outpost, ranch store is not to be missed with such things as the “Don’t Even Think About It! signature wooden - do not disturb signs - for sale. “Don’t Squat with your Spurs on” is another great gift from the bookstore! Upscale clothing, gear and Western items are completely unique with the owner’s wife personally choosing much of the merchandise, and in expertly decorating each of the homes and camps. The Kids Corps of Discovery offers full and half day sessions

of kayaking, crafts, feeding the animals at the Cowpokes’ Corral and enjoying the rifle range are all part of the Western fun. Paintball and archery are also available. The concierge service offered to each guest upon booking gives personal attention to the experience each person desires beforehand, so you arrive with a planned schedule which is different from any ranch that I had ever visited before. It must be noted that the charge for canceling less than 24 hours will be made and some of the activities are quite expensive but just something to know in advance, especially as it is tough to know about the weather. If you wish to reschedule you have the app on your phone, and you need to contact your concierge. The history of the land dates back to when the Blackfoot River served as a transportation corridor for Nez Perce, Flathead and Blackfeet Indians and later for loggers, fur trappers, and miners. The Indians called the river “Cokalahishkit,” which means “the river of the road to the buffalo.” The ranch began in the late 1800’s.

THE LIQUILIFT

Captain Meriwether Lewis, one of the first explorers to follow the well-worn Indian trail along the Blackfoot, arrived in July 1806, thus the names of the Western Estate homes all pay tribute to this team. For seven decades, the Ranch hosted eight diverse owners. Later the Lindbergh Cattle Company took over the Ranch in 1965, with sons of the celebrated aviator, owning the property. In 1997 the Lipson family brought with them a herd of superior horses, the desire to build a first-class Black Angus seed stock operation and their beloved ranch name. “Paws Up” was originally inspired by those friendly, wriggling dogs who greet visitors by putting their paws up in the air while their tails thump the floor. The Morris Ranch House in the winter season is the home of the spa and the director is well versed in the latest spa products, techniques and also a fantastic masseuse. She simply exudes joy and prides herself on encouraging guests to make the most of their treatments. In the summertime the spa is located in white tents with Spa Town being a favorite for pampering after long trail rides to soothe aching muscles.

Paws Up boasts a world-class Saddle Club that was built with amazing facilities to train, breed and care for horses. The staff is renowned for their expertise in breeding and training horses including a superb horse arena. With over six species of game fi sh, the “Big Blackie” has much more variety for the avid angler than most trout streams. The Blackfoot is known worldwide due to its prominence in the best-selling novel, A River Runs Through It. “May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds,” by Edward Abbey, summed up the spirit of Paws Up Ranch on a lovely pillow card, I would add, “may your pockets be deep!”

DANA LEIGH PRITCHARD OW N E R Woodlands Performance & Suspension, LLC

KRIST Y COR M IER LOA N O F F I C E R Cherr y Creek Mortgage Company

Dana Leigh Pritchard is a Staten Island, New York native, and resident of The Woodlands. Her dedication and involvement in The Woodlands community spans over two decades. After graduating from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Psychology and Business Management, a business opportunity presented itself that she just couldn’t refuse. With an understanding that new businesses usually fail within the first year, she took on the challenge head-first to do whatever she could to contribute and make this business successful and sustain itself. Fast forward to now, and no longer with a business partner, Dana is the sole owner of Woodlands Performance & Suspension, LLC (WPS), a specialty aftermarket automotive business which is celebrating 15 years of customizing vehicles. Since the inception of WPS it was an important principle to convey gratitude, appreciation, and setting a good example as a business owner by giving back to our community. Even before opening the business, Dana was one of the first founding members of The Woodlands Car Club. The club started as just a handful of car lovers organizing a few shows a year. Dana led the way in establishing the Cars & Coffee for a Cause charity car event in Market Street, wanting to make giving back a staple in the club’s purpose. In addition to the monthly event, Dana serves as a community liaison all throughout the year for businesses, groups, and individuals who are looking for special cars to display or use for an event. “Owning an automotive business and being involved in a car club has given me the opportunity to be involved in the community in so many ways, such as volunteering, educating and building relationships.” Dana is also a member of Montgomery County Association of Business Women (MCABW), The Woodlands Chamber of Commerce, and SEMA – Specialty Equipment Market Association.

Some of the world’s most desirable beaches can be found in Coronado. The miles of silvery sand, rich in mica, glimmer in the sun like diamonds. There are four main beaches — Central Beach, South Beach, Silver Strand State Beach and North Beach. These beaches connect into miles of sand and ocean. Surfing, kayaking, sailing, paddle-boarding, swimming, sunbathing, exercising and shell collecting are some of the most popular activities on Coronado’s beaches. Additionally, special events take place on the beaches of Coronado, many open to the public. Coronadovisitorcenter.com

East Hampton

New York

East Hampton is home to two types of beaches - ocean beach and bay beaches. There are many differences between these two types. The ocean beaches tend to be wider and the sand extremely fine. They are great for all kinds of activities but especially good for surfing on the strong waves. The bay beaches tend to be a bit narrower but the views are spectacular, especially the sunsets. The waters are much calmer than the ocean, great for swimming and sailing. Easthampton.com

OGUNQUIT BEACH

Ogunquit Beach

Maine

This long peninsula of sandy beach and grassy dunes stretches for three and a half miles, forming a natural barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ogunquit River. You can swim, bodysurf, search for shells and driftwood, and rent chairs, umbrellas and floats. This beach has lifeguards. If you’re visiting Ogunquit, this beach is a must see.

HA NAUMA BAY NATUR E PR ESERVE

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve Hawaii Formed within a volcanic cone, today Hanauma Bay offers a pristine marine ecosystem after the City and County of Honolulu laid out a plan in 1990 to restore the “curved bay,” after years of use from the millions of visitors who visit and love to snorkel Hanauma Bay. Voted the Best Beach in the United States for 2016, volunteers have a booth located on the beach level to help visitors learn about conservation of the reef and the types of fish that live there.

Carlsbad State Beach California This San Diego beach features camping, swimming, surfing, skin diving, fishing and picnicking. The large bluff-top campground is very popular, especially in summer, and features stairs leading directly to the beach. Parks.ca.gov

La Jolla Shores Park California La Jolla Shores is a sandy beach approximately 1 mile long located in the community of La Jolla. In summer, waves at this beach are usually the most gentle of all San Diego beaches. La Jolla Shores is adjacent to the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve, which means fishing and removal of objects from this area is prohibited, but the scuba diving classes (perfect for firsttimers!) are breathtaking.

Cannon Beach

Oregon

The sounds of ocean waves and seabirds soothe as you walk part or all of the almost four miles of sandy beach stretching between Cannon Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Punctuated by beautiful rock formations and sea stacks characteristic of the unforgettable Oregon coastline, the beach extends from the north at rocky Chapman Point to the south at Silver Point and is graced in the center by iconic Haystack Rock, rising 235 feet out of the ocean and featuring an ecosystem of bird life and tidepools that simply cannot be missed. With plenty of access points, this beach is a great place for everything from romantic strolls and twilight bonfires to sandcastle building and beach combing. For even more options, explore any of a number of nearby beaches, including Arcadia Beach, Hug Point and Short Sand Beach to the south and the beaches of Ecola State Park to the north, each with their own special appeal and beauty.
