What is Commercial Ink’s process for new clients like?

After an initial phone conversation, a representative will meet with you in person.  This first meeting is strictly to get to know one another’s companies better and see if there is an opportunity to work together.  An optional second meeting may occur, particularly with more in depth marketing research or plans.  Once we both feel that our staff has a solid grasp on what you are trying to achieve, we develop and present our solution in the form of a proposal.

How soon should I expect to see results?

It all depends.  Although we can give a ballpark time frame of 3-6 months to begin seeing results, too many factors are present to exact this number.  Your industry, your budget, your goals, and your target audience all play a role in the results of your campaign.

I already have a marketing plan in place.  Can you work with what I have?
