18.07.08 IT People In Advertising

Having as many clients as we do and covering a vast region we often get correspondence from IT businesses to our clients forwarded to us. These emails usually pick at the web site saying it is missing "insert random useless IT phrase here" and that it is important that a web site have these key elements.

Usually these emails are forwarded to us by clients just so we can get a laugh. At the end of the day our clients have great looking web sites which also work.

The IT industry is not a communications industry and therefore has no place in advertising and marketing - which is what web sites are. At Allcorp Advertising we do use IT staff to work behind the scenes, but these people have absolutely nothing to do with copy writing, photography and design because, as a rule, they are not creative people.

Click here to read one of the latest emails sent to one of our clients.

We thought we'd share this email with you and hope you got as good a laugh out of it as we did. At the end of the day if you need to have your computer repaired or want to upgrade to the new version of Windows then contacting an IT person is probably a good idea. But if you want to advertise and market your business effectively they should be the last people you call.

19.06.08 Optimising eBay Stores

Allcorp Advertising is now offering eBay store owners the chance to make their stores really shine with our eBay store optimisation service.

The problem with the eBay layout is that it doesn't really allow a store owner the freedom to get away from the boring confines of the eBay layout. We can now design a striking and impactful layout for any eBay store that will make it stand out from the crowd and instill more trust in customers.

One of the recent eBay stores that we have designed can be seen by clicking here.

If you want to make your eBay store look better than the rest, or are thinking about starting a new store please contact us to discuss how we can help you get the edge by having a more professional image.

16.05.08 Cairns Secondhand Online

Allcorp Advertising has been working closely with a new client who has launched an online trading web site for the local Cairns area. Cairns Secondhand Online allows users to log in and upload images and descriptions of their items that are for sale which are then listed in one of the many sections to be easily found by purchasers.

Like the newspaper classifieds but with the main difference that buyers can actually see what they are considering buying and more efficient than the national and worldwide second hand trading web sites in that buyers are able to pick up their items straight away and not have to worry about the rammifications of slow delivery, dishonest merchants and the uncertainty of the overall quality of their uninspected purchase.

Because Cairns Secondhand Online is a local site it will make buying and selling items of value in Cairns much easier.



You can view a preliminary version of the web site at www.cairnssecondhandonline.com.au and keep watching the site as it should be fully operational by the end of the month.


25.03.08 Manage Your Own Web Site

Allcorp Advertising has had a lot of success in building web sites that feature owner managed sections. Particularly important for the retail industry as a way of promoting specials and monthly deals, these user managed sections are built securely and in an easy to use format for our clients to use.

Of course we still offer all of our clients the benefits of free monthly alterations to their web sites but these user management sections open new doors to clients who need the flexibility to change things on the fly, any time of day or night.

Included in the pricing of this uniquely inexpensive web site option is all training and documents to ensure the client knows exactly what they are doing. We are also available to give telephone support or on site support should the need arise.

If you have a web site that could use both a professional redesign then maybe you should chat to us and find out how you can get a new web site by the North's leading web development company and get an upgrade as well?

Contact us now to discuss how we can help you get more out of your web site advertising needs.


18.02.08 Newsletters Prove A Success

Allcorp Advertising has built up a strong reputation for producing professional newsletters for businesses to keep in touch with their current as well as their prospective customers.

Allcorp Advertising handles everything for our clients in the production process including copy writing, interviewing customers & staff, photography as well as the final proofing and printing work.

We have been dealing with a lot of the local car and motorbike yards with these newsletters and the businesses that we are working with find that the end result is a positive influence on their recipients and is more than helpful in maintaining working relationships with all customers.

Have a look at our print portfolio to see some examples of our recent newsletter publications and feel free to contact us if you feel that a similar product would be useful in your own industry.


29.01.08 Busy Start To The New Year

2008 is upon us and it seems there wasn't a holiday at all and with our commencement of work on January 14th we have been flat out looking after our clients.

Thanks to everyone who made our 2007 the best year yet and we are looking forward to 2008 with some positive changes and developments to keep all our clients up to date and on track with the best advertising solutions in North Queensland.

There are some very big projects that will be unveiled throughout the early course of this year and we will keep everyone informed as these exciting developments take place.


19.12.07 "The Book With The Yellow Pages - And The White Ones!"

Allcorp Advertising received a letter from the lawyers of one of the phone directory publications advising us of the correct use of their name. This was obviously a very trivial matter and leaves us wondering that maybe if this phone book company (It has yellow pages in it - and white ones!) spent more time looking after their customers advertising needs rather than pursuing matters of an inferior nature, they might actually produce some competent results with their clients advertising money.

As far as we can tell there are two main phone directories in North Queensland and they both have yellow pages in them. So how can they tell us how we can and can't refer to the colour of the pages in their book?

Once again we invite all of our clients to book their advertising production in these phone books with yellow pages in them for next years publication with Allcorp Advertising to get a superior result.

We hope our clients got as much of a laugh out of this as we did.

21.11.07 Abundance Of Print Design Work

Allcorp Advertising has recently been responsible for a huge amount of print design work for our current and many new clients. This work has ranged from the conceptualisation and design of telephone directory advertising for next year's books to a lot of campaign creation for newspaper and magazine publications.

The print industry is not dead yet and still provides a valuable medium to promote your business. With this said, it is imperative that any advertising that is done in these mediums is done properly. It is true that these publications have an in house production department, but the problem with trusting free-production to create your ad is summed up with the well known saying; "you get what you pay for."

Yes, free production offices attached to larger scale print houses can do some okay work, however you - as a business owner - must ask "is okay enough?"

By going the extra stretch to do your advertising properly and employing the assistance of Allcorp Advertising to act on your behalf and create and supply artwork to the newspaper, magazine or telephone directory you will be assured that the production of your advertisement has been professionally designed and targeted to your client base.

19.10.07 wwwhat's in a name?

A local self proclaimed internet advertising expert in Cairns has recently advised that it is important to not only register as many different variations of your domain name as possible but to also consider registering misspellings of your domain name.

Obviously a business could go on and on with an endless list of possibilities and this advice (If it can be called that) probably deserves to be discarded as quickly as the publication that it appears in.

As advertising specialists - not just web hosts as the majority of web development businesses in the city of cairns and Townsville - we know that the most effective way to market your company is by having a single strong identity. Your domain name should be easily memorable and not too lengthy. It's as simple as that.

Registering misspellings of a domain name is a pointless endeavour - after all, no business asks for extra telephone numbers for the off chance that someone's obese fingers might accidentally press a 6 instead of a 2.

Talk to us first when you are considering starting out or renewing a tired internet identity. Allcorp Advertising is the preferred choice for many businesses in North Queensland - in fact; no other local business has as many clients as we do - so stick with the proven local choice for internet advertising. We promise not to give you ignorant advice such as the subject of this article often does.


25.09.07 More Print Work

Allcorp Advertising has developed a lot of print work recently and would like to remind all clients that if you want any of this work done please contact us so that we can show you the difference of free printer supplied artwork production and superior production by Allcorp Advertising.

Because we do not deal with the mass produced market - like some printers do - we have the time to give the correct amount of fine tuning and attention to detail in all of our print work.

Have a look at our Print pages to find out more and view an up to date portfolio of our print work.


04.09.07 Telephone Directory Advertisements

Allcorp Advertising has been utilised by our clients in the production of visually appealing, demographic targeted print advertising campaigns for years and the local telephone directory advertisements are no exception to the rule that you get what you pay for.

Most of our clients spend thousands of dollars on the space in these phone books but then produce an advertisement using a free production service. The results of this are generally an advertisement with very little success.

If you want your telephone directory advertising to reach its full potential have Allcorp Advertising prepare your advertisement professionally and avoid wasting money on dead space.

12.07.07 2006/07 Our Biggest Year Yet!

Allcorp Advertising is still the largest and strongest local web development company in North Queensland and our recent development into the exciting world of print, radio and video advertising paints a bright picture for the coming years.

We now cater to the advertising needs of over 280 local North Queensland businesses which is expected to grow considerably over the next 12 months. Our commitment to ongoing research and training continues and we are employing more staff to keep up with the demand.


25.06.07 Busy Run Up To End Of Financial Year

The demand for Allcorp Advertising services is growing very quickly with this latest trend and we will be employing new staff to cater for the workload in the new financial year.

One week in June say the completion of 6 new web sites, 3 web site rebuilds for existing clients, one 4 page newsletter with 5,000 prints, 1 multimedia production and a brochure design and print.

The amount of work being produced by Allcorp Advertising is more than any other similar business in our field and goes to show that North Queensland businesses are embracing quality advertising.

On top of this work load Allcorp Advertising also gained a number of important clients from Charters Towers further strengthening our scope throughout the North.


11.05.07 Rebuilds A Plenty

Allcorp Advertising specialises in establishing an ongoing commitment to our clients in whatever medium, whether big or small. Due to this level of service we always listen to what our clients and our client's customers want.

In the month of April we spent quite a lot of time doing an audit of some of our older web site clients products and suggesting ways in which their sites could be improved. This was done by examining the latest statistics of their web site traffic to find out what the customer wanted to see as well as liaising with our client to get their thoughts on how they imagined improvement could occur.

With our help, resources and ability to listen to our individual client needs we were able to rework these web sites and improve them considerable. This was not done because the original web sites were inferior, but rather because the new products are much better.

You don't have to be an Allcorp Advertising client for us to examine and help to improve your image, whether in internet form or other medium we can better what you have with our proven methods of appealing to the right audience. Contact Us today to find how we can help you.


26.02.07 Record New Clients

5 businesses decided to let Allcorp Advertising handle their marketing needs and became clients in just one week (19-23.02.07) which reiterates that Allcorp Advertising is one of the most progressive advertising agencies in the North. Now, with a record 204 local business clients we are proving that North Queensland can use a local business for professional advertising and marketing without using a Southern based provider.

Allcorp Advertising would like to welcome the following new clients to the world of 21st century advertising;

04.01.07 Server Upgrade

We have recently signed a lease with one of the largest internet providers in Australia for all of our clients hosting needs. This new contract means our internet clients will be hosted on the same infrastructure as some of the biggest companies in Australia.

This new platform means your web site and data transfer will be faster and there is also a space limit increase. There will be no extra charge to our clients and all of our new hosting is ADSL2+ efficient.


01.01.07 New Web Site

In order to keep our clients up to date with the latest information we have developed our new web site. Allcorp Version 7 offers our clients the ability to log into our site and view their account information and other important data.

We have also structured this new web site around all of the services offered by Allcorp Advertising, rather than just web sites. This has been a long time coming, but I suppose we have been busy looking after all of our clients over the last few years and neglecting our own advertising.
