Getting Started with the Retail Equalizer.

You become partners with your Retail Equalizer Account Team.

You and Your Account Team -- Working Together for Your Success!

When you become a Retail Equalizer client, you are assigned a personal Account Manager and graphic designer to work on your campaigns.

After registering with us, your Account Manager will email you to set up a time and day for a person-to-person, telephone meeting. During this telephone session we will learn about your business, your marketing situation and goals, and review with you the steps in the campaign planning process.

We will also discuss with you different ways that you can develop your email list and the best approach for your kind of business and market.

One of the main topics during the planning process is setting up your campaign calendar. You decide when your first campaign will go out. Working back from there, we determine a start-date for gathering graphics, copy, approvals, revisions, and second approvals. Under most circumstances, there is a 30-day window between the beginning of campaign development and delivery of your emails to your list.

Every Retail Equalizer campaign is custom-designed from scratch based on your marketing goals and specifications. We match our design style and promotional offering to your unique store personality. Want to look conservative and traditional? Cool and hip? Quirky and unconventional? That's what you'll get!

The initial planning process helps us learn about your business and the type of image that works best with your customers. If you have promotional materials that you developed in the past and want to continue with that look, we are happy to apply that design approach to your Retail Equalizer campaigns. On the other hand, if you are not sure what will work best, we can help define your promotional objectives and creative strategies.

When It Comes to Customer Communications, We Practice
What We Preach!

If you're like most new marketing clients, you are probably asking yourself, "Will I like what the marketing agency creates for me?"

Just as we encourage our clients to maintain an on-going conversation with <em>their</em> customers, we do the same with our customers. One way that we ensure your satisfaction is to stay in touch with you throughout the planning and creative process.

1. Before your monthly campaign is developed, we discuss and then confirm with you both the creative style and the promotion specifications. Before we start work, we email you a summary of what we have decided to do. If we are on the same page, we then go to work!

2. As the campaign is being prepared, we send you works-in-progress along the way and invite your feedback and suggestions. We will incorporate any revisions you recommend.

3. Before your email campaign is delivered to your list, you will receive a test email message from us. You will be able to see it exactly as your customers will see it. Give us the thumbs up, and out it will go on the scheduled delivery date. Need more changes? No problem. We make the changes and then let you see the revisions before finalizing the campaign.
