One of the most important aspects of marketing any business is advertising. Advertising is designed to raise awareness and convey your company’s product or message to the world. Most of the world’s most successful brands were built from the result of a strong advertising strategy. Successful advertising is the backbone to a thriving business, and achieving that is as simple as choosing the proper Agency. Whether you are a large or small business, the right agency can guide you by using the right tools and methods that suit your individual needs. It is important not to be above or intimidated by using an advertising agency, remembering that all size businesses can benefit and profit from properly advertising.

There Are Advertising Possibilities for Businesses and Budgets of All Sizes

If you’ve ever felt like advertising for your business was ‘out of your league’, or you feel that the costs will be to high, than you aren’t looking at the big picture. Agencies work with companies of every size, and the right agency knows that what matters is discovering the business, its values and its message and then conveying that to customers. The right agency knows that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach and won’t push you into projects that don’t make sense for your company. As a business owner, you should approach an advertising agency with an open mind, a strong message and realistic expectations. Even better about advertising as a small or medium business is that provided you approach it with the right attitude, you are sure to notice an impact and reach customers you may have never been able to

Work Together with the Agency

Don’t be afraid to share ideas and thoughts with the agency, and to discuss your thoughts and ideas for the progress of your Brand. After all, at the end of the day it’s your business. If you input, as well as draw from the process, you will reap more value from your consultancy and generate more revenue for your business when the process is over. While some clients expect the agency to sit and throw ideas around, it is those that offer some input into the creative process that tend to receive the greatest value from their advertising agency, which is directly transported into their profit figures at the end of the year and reflected in long term business value.

The Benefits of Hiring An Advertising Agency

As a larger business, it is important not to become wrapped up in your company so much that you can’t look outside for assistance. The properly chosen advertising agency can not only be a fresh set of eyes and an unbiased opinion, but can have marketing connections and techniques that your in house does not. Hiring an agency will allow you to focus on what your business is really about, while still accepting and encouraging your ideas and thoughts. If your business is a success now, think how much further a decorated agency can take you.

Why You Need To Rely On An Advertising Agency’s Expertise

Regardless of the business size, the main point is to advertise, period. Strong brands come from strong advertising, which spreads awareness of your product or message to a vast audience. Once you understand this, the possibilities can be endless. Remember that you are experts in your field, and marketing agencies are experts in theirs. Why not put the future or your business in an expert’s hands, one that can significantly increase your business and create a comprehensive strategy to keep it on the upward trend.

Finkelstein & Partners Celebrates Win for Veterans’ Rights
Firm’s Veterans Services Group Helps Earn Ruling to Improve Rights for
Mentally Incompetent Disabled Vets

Newburgh, NY – Nancy Morgan, managing partner of Finkelstein & Partners’ Veterans Services Group, announced that the group participated in oral argument and won a significantly important appeal  that will fundamentally change the rights of mentally incompetent disabled American veterans. The case Freeman v. Shineski was argued at the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

It’s an unfortunate reality that our nation’s veterans make a great many sacrifices in the course of service to our country. Some, as a result of injury or age, have even sacrificed their mental competency. For those mentally incompetent disabled veterans, the Veterans Administration (VA) took away their right, and that of their family, to choose their own fiduciary, the person to whom the veterans’ property or power is entrusted.

The issue argued before the Court in Freeman v. Shineski was to determine whether the veteran or his family had the right to question the VA’s choice of a fiduciary for the veteran. Prior to this decision, the VA unilaterally appointed a fiduciary of their choosing. Frequently, the fiduciary was paid for their role and the fee deducted directly from the disabled veteran’s benefits. If the decision was challenged by the veteran or his family, the VA denied the appeal stating that the appointment of the fiduciary was the sole discretion of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Mr. William Freeman is a Vietnam-era veteran who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. The team of veterans’ attorneys contributed to the briefs and made oral arguments before the Court that the choice of a fiduciary by the VA was appealable to the Board of Veterans Appeals and to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims  just like any other decision made by the VA.

In a unanimous decision, the Court agreed that the veteran “is clearly and indisputably entitled to appeal to the Board the decision of the VSCM to appoint a paid fiduciary.”

“This decision is a tremendous victory not only for Mr. Freeman and other incompetent disabled veterans, but for all veterans,” said Andrew G. Finkelstein, managing partner of Finkelstein & Partners. “It points out once again that the VA is not above the law and is accountable to the people like every other branch of  Government.”

How to Market Your Business
Brought to you by Allan J. Ross

Hi this is Allan Ross on How to Market your business.

Listen to this article from Allan
My subject today is “What ever happened to doing business with people?”

You’re probably thinking you always do business with people, so what is he talking about? But do you really?

How many times a day do you opt to use text messaging, emails, voicemails etc? You probably do that a heck of a lot more than a face-to-face interaction or a handshake. Another question you might consider, is who answers your business phone? Is it a real person or voicemail? Where has all the ‘so-called’ personal touch gone? At some point, the lack of personal interaction is going to catch up to us, and it seems like only a matter of time before people are going to get sick and tired of communicating through cyber space.

Do you notice differences between communicating online versus face-to-face? What are the implications of our increasing online communications and decreasing face-to-face communications? Although there are many positives to online communication and social media, we must be careful not to only nurture our relationships in this way. Interactions online tend to be brief and to the point. Having personal interactions brings a human element to your work and the services you provide, which leaves a nice impression. It is impossible to truly relate to even the biggest social media ‘over-sharers’ without physically meeting them in person, because you miss out on certain qualities that cannot be substituted for online. The social interactions of these personal meetings are not only more genuine, but they also allow you to physically see what you will get.

Now don’t take me wrong, I believe in Social Media as an extremely useful tool, but I make sure I use it without sacrificing personal relationships. My company uses it and also supplies our clients with the capabilities and knowledge on how to break through what can seem like an online marketing maze. Finding the balance between the two forms of communicating is not only important, but it is key in building real relationships. Remember, you still need to market your company the old fashioned way: face-to-face.

Westfair Online has written an article about CEO Allan Ross, now in his 20th year in advertising and marketing.

As a young musician, Ross loved playing the saxophone and playing with great artists, but there came a time when he knew it was time to move on. “I was smart enough to get to know the executives at the agencies and I started writing jingles and creating music for them. … it just naturally evolved into advertising and marketing for all kinds of industries, and that’s where I’ve been ever since.”
