Creative Services: Marketing

Program Overview

Introduction

In a tech-savvy world, consumers have the ability to search for products and
services, read product reviews, and shop around for the lowest price. Because
of this, many companies have shifted their focus to value-added services to
differentiate their product and service offerings.

What makes Proforma stand apart from other distributors is our access to
infinite resources available through one source. Proforma’s in-house Marketing
resource can assist Owners and Sales Professionals in developing ideas and
campaigns for your customers’ projects. Position yourself as a total solutions
provider by utilizing Creative Services for all of your customer project requests.

Proforma’s Creative Services

Creative Services provides the intellectual property and campaign strategy that
comes way before graphics are even needed. It’s the process that involves
creative problem solving and the discovery of new ideas, themes and concepts
for your own self-promotion campaigns or your customers’ projects. Creative
Services will help you position your business as a Marketing Agency without the
high-priced agency fees.
