If you were offered a completely new sales channel that was instant, measureable, and cost effective, why would you not be interested?

Social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook are proving to be extremely powerful communication tools for our clients including Fathers 4 Justice, The Icecreamists and Master Sken Academy. In particular they can be used to quickly and efficiently for the following:

• Raising brand awareness
• Promoting events
• Promoting new products or services
• Driving traffic to a website
• Networking on a local or global level
• Tapping into new trends
• Gaining new customers
• Providing customer service
• Selling digital downloads (such as music or e-books)
• Building a database for email marketing

Twitter is THE fastest growing social network – if you’re not on Twitter and Facebook yet, you’re missing out and could be losing potential business to your competitors.

If you’ve never used Twitter before and are thinking of trying it out, Contrast Creative run a series of hands-on workshops where we’ll introduce you and your team to some powerful techniques that will get the most from these networks and ultimately drive sales.

For a free consultation and to find out how your company could be benefiting from these networks, contact us here and lets talk!

The solution was a fresh look for the website, making use of Flash animation, a new layout for products with clearer, larger images and colour swatches. The site encourages interaction via the Blog, Flickr and Facebook Pages. Perhaps one of the most significant developments the website has seen is that it’s fully content-managed, putting the control of the content and ability to update the site quickly and easily back in the clients’ hands.

The result has been a huge increase in online sales, great feedback from customers and quickly rising visitor traffic.

Contrast provided copywriting, re-invented their brand, and designed and developed a content-managed website that would position them as leaders in their industry.

Contrast structured, designed and developed a website with strong emphasised on customer service, a friendly team and professionalism of the firm.

A content management system allows staff to create new pages and publish news articles quickly and easily.

Taking new photography on-site, refreshing their branding and making their services more accessible, the new website has become a success for marketing themselves online.

High Contrast are participating in an online experimental art project called Facity International, and are offering anyone the chance to have their picture taken and be submitted to the project. Male or female, young our old, everyone is welcome to participate!

We only require about 10-15 mins of the participant’s time and for them to visit our office in West Didsbury, Manchester.

The final image will be submitted to Facity, our Facebook page, our own website and possibly a local exhibition. This is a great opportunity to meet us and get yourself noticed among the international fashion and photography communities. Participation is completely free and you will receive a medium-res digital copy of your chosen image.

If you’re interested in taking part, simply drop us an email with the words ‘Interested in Facity‘ in the subject line to shoot@highcontrast.co.uk and we’ll email you further information and a list of available time-slots.

We look forward to hearing from you!
