Display Confidence This Tradeshow Season

Are you ready to make a bold statement during this year’s tradeshow season and captivate a new wave of potential customers?

Join the crowd! This year, we are seeing an increase in clients and colleagues attending and exhibiting at trade shows. With renewed confidence in meeting face-to-face, sales professionals and business owners are looking for unique ways to stand out. We spoke with fellow WBE business owner Nancy Larick, President of Larick Associates, who shared with us:

“Branded gifts keep your company recognizable and memorable so that your customers remember you before your competition when they want to buy. And, it’s a fun way to stay top of mind. Branded gifts are a great retention tool for both customers and employees. For employees, it promotes cohesion within the team, and it’s a nice perk. For customers, the stats say it all:

  • 75% are MORE likely to buy from a company that gave them a promotional product than from another company they know equally well but did not give them a promotional product.
  • 83% would experience a strengthened loyalty to a brand they currently shop with that gave them a promotional product.

This is trade show season. We’ve been making tradeshow gifts and display materials (BTW, hand sanitizers are back). How will your company succeed this year? Why not consider the targeted marketing that gifts offer?”

KGI Design Group agrees and is ready to help you showcase your brand with confidence and leave a lasting impression! We offer:

  • Exceptional Exhibits: Want to stand out from the crowd? We specialize in turning visions into reality. Whether rental exhibits or custom builds, we can make your exhibit state-of-the-art.

As we step into the new year, the spirit of celebration continues at KGI! As a gift to clients this year, we crafted a personalized branding message for each person. Our goal was not just to make a thoughtful holiday gesture but to gift a powerful tool that can help elevate businesses to new heights.

Let’s explore some creative ways to maximize the impact of branding messages and grow your business in 2024.

1. Social Media Magic:

Take your personalized message to the heart of your online presence – social media. Share it across your platforms to engage your audience and showcase the human side of your brand. Add the image to Facebook or Instagram as a story, post, or reel. You can repeat the message in the caption or include any other relevant text. Haven’t been up on your LinkedIn? Add the image to a LinkedIn post and share your key offerings in the text. Remember, a well-crafted post, story, or even a dedicated highlight will infuse your social media strategy with your unique message to build brand loyalty and foster meaningful connections. Don’t forget to tag us so we can see your progress! #CreateItWithKGI

2. Website Wonders:

Infuse your website with the essence of your personalized branding message. Whether on your homepage, “About Us” page, or a clever pop-up, integrating the message into your online presence creates a consistent and memorable brand experience for visitors. Need a hand with this? Give us a call, and our professional developers can make it happen.

3. Marketing Collateral:

Elevate your marketing materials by incorporating your personalized message. From business cards to brochures, transform them into more than just information – make them conversation starters! Your collateral becomes a tangible representation of your brand’s personality, leaving a lasting impression on clients and prospects alike.

4. Email Campaigns:

Imbue your email marketing campaigns with the warmth of your personalized message. Whether it’s a promotion, new product, or regular newsletter, incorporating your unique touch adds a personal connection that sets your brand apart and resonates with your audience.

5. Email Signatures That Speak Volumes:

Your email signature is a prime piece of digital real estate. Start the year on a professional and memorable note by incorporating your personalized branding message. This simple touch reinforces your brand identity with every communication, leaving a lasting impression on clients and partners alike. Need your graphic resized or assistance embedding the image, give us a call!

6. Team Spirit in the Workplace:

Don’t limit the impact of your personalized message to external communications – share it internally with your team. Add it to internal memos and messages, or print it out and hang it in the office. Your message can serve to inspire and motivate your team. Fostering a sense of unity and pride in the collective identity of your brand creates a positive, harmonious workplace that reflects in client interactions.

Ultimately, your personalized branding message is more than a seasonal gift from KGI; it’s a pivotal asset that can positively impact your business. We hope you utilize it in your brand strategy and watch as it becomes a catalyst for growth, connection, and success in the new year and beyond!

Looking for assistance setting up your social media, email marketing, or any other method we discussed above? Reach out to our team!

The fun doesn’t have to end there – let the success of your personalized message be the starting point of a dynamic collaboration with us.

KGI is ringing and singing in the new year with a jingle!

We recently collaborated with the New York City Department of Corrections (NYCDOC) to launch its “Join the Boldest” recruitment campaign aimed at hiring new talent. Acknowledging the difficulty in attracting individuals to become COs, we set out to create a memorable and “sticky” jingle that resonated with the campaign’s message.

KGI also developed the key art including a funky type solution, headphones and animated sound waves to convey the tone and rhythm of the ad. The DOC internal team was then able to take our art and deploy each application. Our commitment to understanding the unique challenges faced by the DOC allowed us to effectively tailor our approach.

Our team accepted the challenge of developing this campaign to address the recruitment needs. We pitched multiple ideas, and the jingle emerged as the standout choice by the DOC and City Hall. The catchy tune has become the focal point of the campaign, successfully capturing attention and leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

The “Join to Discover the Boldest Version of Yourself” jingle campaign can now be seen and heard across various platforms in the heart of New York City, including cabs, ferries, buses, bus stands, on social media, the radio, and TV. This multi-channel approach ensures that the campaign reaches a diverse and wide-ranging audience, maximizing its impact. Check out the official campaign video below.

We are grateful to the NYCDOC for entrusting us with this opportunity. Working on this project has been a significant achievement for our entire team. This campaign not only meets our client’s objectives but also serves as a testament to the creativity and effectiveness of our work. Let’s hope that 2024 continues to bring us all new opportunities and success. Cheers to a remarkable year ahead! Discover the Boldest Version of Yourself!

Need help with discovering your company’s boldest self or becoming M/WBE certified?

Call 516-420-0013 or schedule a meeting here.

"The joy of brightening other lives becomes for us the magic of the holidays."
– W.C. Jones

As the holiday season unfolds, KGI is unwrapping a truly special gift! Giving clients holiday gifts isn’t just about generosity; it’s a way to show genuine appreciation for their partnership, strengthen connections, and set the stage for ongoing collaborations and success. Rather than presenting them with traditional gifts, such as beanies, sweatpants, shirts, etc., we’re providing personalized branding messages and graphics for our clients this year! Let’s explore the significance of how this gesture will create a lasting impact.

The Power of Personalization:

Today, personalization has become a key element of successful marketing. At KGI, we’re extending this concept to our holiday gift. We understand that a branding message is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but a tailor-made expression of gratitude that resonates with each client on an individual level.

Building Meaningful Connections:

Beyond the tangible nature of gifts, each personalized branding message fosters a deeper connection between us and our clients. By acknowledging and appreciating the unique qualities of each client, we’re strengthening the foundation of our relationships. Clients aren’t just business associates; they’re valued partners in a collaborative journey!

Practicality Meets Thoughtfulness:

While physical gifts like hats and sweatpants have their charm, a personalized branding message brings practicality into the equation. With the help of a unique graphic, clients can use and integrate their message across various platforms, aligning it with their brand identity. Whether it’s in email signatures, on social media, or in marketing collateral, the personalized message becomes a versatile tool that adds value to each client’s business.

Creating a Lasting Impression:

The holiday season is a time when businesses reflect on the year gone by and set the tone for the year ahead. Our goal is to create a lasting impression! By providing clients with a tool that enhances their brand presence, we are contributing to the success and growth of our clients in a meaningful way.

A Gesture That Speaks Volumes:

In the noisy landscape of corporate gifting, we hope to stand out with a gesture that speaks volumes. The decision to move beyond traditional gifts demonstrates our commitment to innovation, creativity, and a genuine understanding of our clients’ needs. It showcases our dedication to going the extra mile to ensure that our clients feel seen, appreciated, and empowered!

The unique gift we’ve chosen to give our clients this year reflects our commitment to building meaningful connections, creating lasting impressions, and providing practical value. With that, we hope to be a positive symbol of how a personalized touch can elevate the spirit of giving during the holidays and throughout the year. Cheers to a happy, healthy, and successful 2024!

"The holiday season is a perfect time to reflect on our blessings and seek out ways to make life better for those around us."
– Terri Marshall

The holiday season presents magical opportunities for businesses to boost sales and engage with customers in a meaningful way. “Holiday shopping puts consumers in a somewhat different mindset than usual – they’re spending more, perhaps exploring unfamiliar brands for the first time, and looking for convenient shopping options.” (Nextdoor)

5 strategies for your business to shine brightly amid the holiday hustle and bustle while spreading joy to your customers and employees:

1. Deck the Halls (and Your Website): Update your website with holiday-themed banners, graphics, and product displays. Create a sense of excitement and capture the holiday spirit to attract visitors and encourage them to explore your products or services. KGI can help create custom graphics for you!

2. Festive Social Media Campaigns: Consider running festive contests, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of your company’s holiday preparations, and incorporating popular hashtags to increase visibility. From FB to Linkedin to Instagram, KGI can create reusable content to spread your message.

3. Email Marketing Magic: Dive into your customers’ inboxes with well-crafted holiday email campaigns. Share exclusive discounts, limited-time offers, or upcoming events. “Do the work for them – send an email highlighting the ‘most popular’ gifts on your site, with a link to your site to make the purchase.” (Exposure) Create a sense of urgency by incorporating countdowns to key shopping dates, like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or another specified day. Need a “nice list?” KGI can create one and set you up on email marketing!

4. Gift Guides and Bundles: A great way to make holiday shopping a breeze for your customers is by curating gift guides and product bundles. Grouping complementary items and offering a bundled discount not only simplifies the decision-making process for shoppers but also increases the average transaction value. Check out KGI Sprout packages for small businesses or book a 2-hour Brain Storm Session. Mention this email on our contact form for your gift of a discount code.

5. Give Back to the Community: At KGI, giving back is something we value throughout the entire year. You can especially show your business’s compassion by giving back to the community during the holiday season. Consider organizing charity drives, partnering with local nonprofits, or donating a percentage of holiday sales to a charitable cause. Not only does this create a positive brand image, but it also inspires your employees and staff to come together for a greater cause, as it aligns with the spirit of the season. KGI is collecting unwrapped toys and gift cards in our office in Farmingdale to donate to Angels of Long Island on December 14. If you’d like to drop off a gift, let us know! Or, if you would like to give a donation, we can purchase a toy in your name and add it to our Santa bag.

“Angels of Long Island’s mission is to assist and advocate for people in our Long Island community who are in need of assistance during this troubled economic time. Our goal is to empower people to overcome poverty and live prosperous lives. We aggressively provide a wide range of services and goods to people in crisis.”

Overall, the holiday season is a prime opportunity for businesses to connect with their audience, drive sales, and foster positive relationships. By implementing these strategies, you can ensure that your business stands out and thrives during this festive time.

Remember, if you’re unsure where to start, KGI is here to help you create visually stunning and joyful marketing materials for your company!

KGI can help grow your brand so you can “SAY HELLO!” confidently to the clients you want to reach! Contact us to learn more about how we can craft design solutions to enhance your brand’s appeal during and after the holiday rush.

The key is to spread joy and make a lasting impact on your audience. Happy holidays and happy promoting!

“Whether it’s excitement, trust, inspiration, or empathy, the right visuals can trigger emotions and strengthen your relationship with your audience.”

 
It’s no secret that having a distinguished brand is crucial to stand out in a sea of competitors. While your skills and expertise form the foundation of your brand, the way you present yourself visually leaves a lasting impression on your audience. This is where the power of professionally, art directed photo/video shoots comes into play. According to Haute Media, “a study from PR News discovered that high-quality, appealing visual content receives 94% more views than text-only marketing.”

Let’s explore why these elements are essential to enhancing your brand and driving your marketing efforts to new heights.

1. Visual First Impression

The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” has never been more relevant. In an era dominated by social media and digital platforms, your audience often forms their first impression based on visuals. High-quality, professional photos and videos capture attention and convey a sense of credibility, professionalism, and authenticity. These visuals give your audience a glimpse of your personality, values, and expertise before even diving into your content.

2. Consistency and Recognition

Photo and video shoots, along with strategic art direction, help you establish a consistent visual style that your audience can recognize across various platforms. “You can reuse the photos for tons of different platforms, spread them out over a few months for consistent content, and really nail your aesthetic and vibe.” (lashloveapparel.com) Consistency fosters trust and familiarity, making it easier for people to remember and connect with you.

3. Crafting a Narrative

Effective marketing is all about storytelling, and visuals are a powerful tool for crafting that narrative. “By understanding how best to leverage photography… marketers can craft effective narratives that resonate strongly with current audience members and stimulate new prospects to come on board in the future.” (Forbes) Through photo and video shoots, you can tell the story of your journey, your values, and what makes you unique. Art direction plays an essential role in aligning the visual elements with your brand’s tone and message.

4. Reflecting Your Brand’s Personality

Your brand has its own personality. Are you professional and sophisticated? Creative and inspirational? Down-to-earth and relatable? Photo and video shoots allow you to visually translate these traits into your content. Moreover, art direction ensures that every aspect of the visuals, from lighting to props, aligns with your brand personality.

5. Setting Your Apart

In a competitive landscape, setting yourself apart is essential. Professional visuals make you stand out as someone who values quality and attention to detail. Whether it’s a professional headshot, behind-the-scenes content, or product imagery, your visuals can differentiate you from others who are offering similar products or services.

6. Building Emotional Connections

Humans are wired to connect emotionally with stories and images. High-quality visuals have the power to evoke emotions and create a bond between you and your audience. It’s also vital to feature key members of your team as this will “build trust between customers and businesses alike and ultimately lead to increased loyalty for your brand.” (Forbes) Again, whether it’s excitement, trust, inspiration, or empathy, the right visuals can trigger these emotional responses and strengthen your relationship with your audience.

Ultimately, the importance of photo/video shoots and art direction in enhancing your branding and marketing efforts should not be minimized. These elements enable you to create a cohesive and memorable visual identity, effectively tell your story, and produce emotional connections with your audience. Investing in professional visuals and thoughtful art direction should not be considered an expense but an investment in the success and longevity of your business. Overall, your visuals speak volumes even before your words do, so make sure they accurately represent the incredible story you have to share with the world!

Need assistance getting started? Looking for help arranging a photo/video shoot or art direction? KGI is here to guide you every step of the way! Although we are not a photo or video studio, we work closely with our trusted professional vendors to support our clients’ brands and ensure that all of their visual assets are consistent. We oversee the entire process from art directing and script writing to finding a photographer/videographer to editing and retouching. We will make sure everything runs smoothly before, during, and after the shoot:

  • Preparation: Scout photographer/videographer and location, plan wardrobe and props, develop a script or storyboard, arrive early to set.
  • Production: Art direction, supervise production, foster a comfortable environment, focus on goals and objectives.
  • Post-Production: Oversee retouching and silhouetting, facilitate application to various mediums and collateral materials, optimize placement on social and other print and digital platforms.

Call us at 516-420-0013 today to have KGI grow your brand so you can SAY HELLO! confidently to the clients you want to reach!

Have a great idea, but not sure if you should incorporate it into your business? Want to test something new, but don’t want to deter new or existing clients? Have you tried using a survey?

Surveys can help with customer feedback, market research, brand awareness, and so much more! Small businesses can utilize survey data to inform marketing decisions – to fix what isn’t working in the preliminary stages and to gather feedback post-launch.

We’ve been working with a client who needs answers: “We have so many additional services we could offer, but we’re not sure if our current and potential clients would be interested?” Sending a survey is the best way to reach your clients directly and get the answers you need!

Survey Monkey has the best features for our needs, but there are many other free and paid options including Google Forms, Qualtrics, Typeform, and even some email marketing tools such as Mailchimp can incorporate surveys!

Interested in creating a survey for your company or just want to see what your survey could look like? Take our quick 1 minute survey below!

Is your business equipped with successful marketing strategies?

Effective marketing plays a pivotal role in the success of any business. However, choosing between a marketing agency or an in-house marketing team can be a challenging decision for business owners. Both options have their own advantages and drawbacks, and it’s important to weigh them carefully to make an informed choice that aligns with your business goals.

Should you take care of marketing initiatives in-house or outsource the work to a marketing agency? The following are some variables and lines of thought to consider:


1. COST:

To hire all of the key professionals an agency provides – Marketing Manager, Campaign Strategist, Graphic Designer, Web Developer, Copywriter – you are looking in the range of $300,000 or more plus sick time, health care benefits, and paid time off.

2. TRAINING:

Digital Marketers are learning the ins and outs of trends daily on the job, as this is their profession. You do not have to send employees to training programs or seminars. To increase the output of your department would require hiring more employees. An agency has these resources on hand at a moment’s notice.

3. TREND:

In-house marketers are usually buried in day-to-day tasks, which leaves little time to keep up with the latest social media, SEO, content marketing, and branding news. Agents invest in this frequently to stay ahead of the curve and serve clients better.

4. TOOLS:

An agency gives businesses access to premium-level services, software, and analytical data without charge – no need for costly updates to your computers, software, and other technology.


Ultimately, assessing your unique business objectives will help you make an informed decision that aligns with your marketing needs and drives success. For businesses seeking cost efficiency, specialized expertise, and tools, hiring a marketing agency can be a wise choice. On that note, KGI Design Group is here to help! We focus on providing guidance, planning, and execution to help you grow your business. We also value the importance of collaboration and understanding your unique business needs. We take the time to familiarize ourselves with your company, goals, and target market, allowing us to develop marketing solutions tailored specifically to your business, ensuring maximum impact and relevance. With KGI by your side, you can confidently navigate the ever-changing marketing landscape and set your business up for success!
