With the rise of internet marketing, more companies are turning to the computer to promote their businesses and products. And it seems like the companies are making a smart move. Despite the hard hitting recession, online sales of flags and banners grew, according to this month's Start Tribune online magazine. Since many companies cannot afford to go out and sell their products, or pay the large amounts that TV commercials demand, they turn to the online social media world to spread the word. This is also good news for customers, as these word of mouth references keep companies in check and make sure they are giving the best service they can.When it comes to outdoor banners or vinyl banner printing, customers also enjoy a low price since no middleman is involved in the marketing demands of the old world. Street banners and pole banners are now available at prices lower than they used to, mainly because the cost of doing business is down, when companies focus on online sales. Now, they can also produce a display with just a few days' lead time, despite the old industry standard - five to ten days.Many customers believe that it's all about the quality of the work, whether it's a banner or a flag. The quality of the product is what drives customers back to the same company. With marketing changing the way it is, companies can now focus on that quality and make sure all products meet the demand of the customers.This new wave of marketing is also changing the work process. As orders come in, companies make sure to stay in touch with consumers and are now able to do so much faster and cheaper, using online methods. A weekly or monthly email can remind past clients that the company is still coming out with new products. Especially with franchise owners, this could make the difference between a slow or busy week. Flag and banner makers rely on their customer service and high quality products. These products tend to suffer the brunt of outside weather conditions and it's important they are top quality. Online business development has helped these companies make the change to the new era of business. And the customers are the ones enjoying it.It will be interesting to see where the new technology will take the industry. As more accurate printers are becoming available and social media plays a bigger role in expanding the message for these companies.
