Web Advertising
Banner ads take your message to the individual rather than the masses.

The digital behavior of today’s consumer dictates where your communication needs to be. Web ads lend key support to the relationship building that the web fosters.

Combined with sending HTML emails and the benefits of a social networking marketing plan, the web turns the verb “selling” into the noun “conversing.” More of a dialogue than a monologue. Whether it’s traditional banner advertising or pay per click advertising, the web allows us to direct your consumer where to go while developing an ongoing engagement with them.

Online advertising is a vital facet of every advertising campaign at First Looks. As an online ad agency, we draw upon the unique set of web variables to maximize your web budget. Google and other analytics track performance and guide us in making adjustments. SEM advertising might enhance a strong organic search ranking. Ongoing analytics help with tracking, testing, follow-ups and messaging, and may support alterations that allow better tailored and targeted delivery.

HTML Email Marketing
Sending HTML emails helps turn your prospects into your "consumer neighbors."

Email marketing is now its own industry. If social networking is the new word-of-month, HTML email is the new post office. The opportunity to send multiple touches to targeted audiences makes HTML email the choice channel for lead generation, subscriptions, e-commerce, e-billing, sign-ups, memberships, roll-outs, support branding and a host of other marketing needs.

Creating HTML emails is part art, part science. Here the disciplines from First Looks’ successful direct mail marketing come into play, as do our creative services of web copywriting and web design. Lead generation is central to many long-term marketing plans, and no channel can compete with HTML emails for lead management, lead nurturing or lead scoring.

Web analytics help First Looks monitor, adjust and capitalize on the digital behaviors of your target groups, enabling you to build sustainable consumer relationships to profit from, now and into the future.

SEO SEM
The proper blend of the marketing mix - “four Ps” - used to equal success. Not anymore. Now, it’s the “five Ps” - Product, Place, Promotion, Price and Positioning

The best web designs are often awarded for beautiful design presentations. However, a more relevant measurement of a great web design is its construction as an organically- strong site - allowing it to be well positioned in search engines before employing SEM actions to drive traffic.

Website design firms should engage Site Engine Optimization (SEO) activities at the very start of a new website design. First Looks considers SEO measures crucial to the success of your website, and always includes this in our web design packages.

SEO copywriting, keywords and phrases are just the beginning of an SEO program. Your situation might warrant a compressed campaign of only a few months or an ongoing campaign that constantly adapts to the changing algorithms of Google, Yahoo or Bing.

Advertising online may be part of your web marketing, but before it starts, a strong SEO foundation must be established.
Pay per click advertising is one of the most popular traffic-generating strategies on the internet. Make it money well spent.

Search engine marketing (SEM) is arguably one of the most profitable ways to market online. But doing it right isn’t easy; SEM can be a time-consuming and complicated marketing channel to conquer. Online advertising costs can quickly escalate if not managed properly. Simple autopilot adword setups only take you so far. Learning the ins and outs of SEM is a skill that takes time, patience, and an analytical mindset.

First Looks considers SEM part of our integrated online services, realizing that even after they click, people still need to be convinced, impressed and sold. If the scope of your objectives is large and complex, your SEM might need the services of a managed account. Here, First Looks brings our associate partner www.sawtoothmedia.com in to help. A search engine marketing & ppc consultant firm, Sawtooth Media can direct your campaign(s) with the goals of improving your conversion rate while lowering your cost per click.
