Your One-Stop Design Shop This Holiday Season

We’re officially in crunch time – that time of year when companies are focused on running seasonal promotions, nurturing their relationships, and launching year-end giving campaigns.

It’s no secret that customers, clients, and donors are much more willing to spend during the holidays. But simply sending a generic email or card in the mail won’t be enough to entice your target audience; you need to put your heart into it. The creative team at Dark Horse Design specializes in producing high-impact, quality marketing materials for any industry or niche. We are YOUR go-to design company when you need to outsource creative quickly and effectively.

Not to mention, we have been through our fair share of trade shows, expos, and corporate outings. Whether you’re hosting a company holiday party or a client appreciation event, we can help you deliver an experience that is both tasteful and memorable.

Here are a few things your company stands to gain by working with our in-house experts:

Packaging: If you’re sending a gift or a larger envelope (like a newsletter or a catalogue), packaging is everything. The recipients are far more likely to take action if they feel valued and appreciated. We take a thoughtful approach to package design to grab the attention of your target audience and help boost your ROI.

Direct Mail: That last thing you want to do is to spend time and money on a direct mail campaign only to have it get lost in the mail stack. There are a number of factors that go into creating an effective marketing campaign, like the size, shape, color, format, and emotional appeal of your promotional materials. We’ve been in the game long enough to know what works and how to elicit a response. All you need to do is give us your company’s objective and we’ll work with you to create a unique and personalized solution.

Professional Photos: The photos you use in your marketing materials can reinforce your brand reputation. When you’re sending things out over the holidays, you’ll want to make sure your staff looks sleek and sophisticated. This won’t just make you look more professional; it will help breed trust and build rapport. Whether you’re in the need of corporate headshots or a licensed drone pilot to cover a special occasion, we’ve got you covered.

Event Signage: High-end displays, promotional items, eye-catching graphics – all of these play their part in pulling off a successful event. A benefit of outsourcing you’re creative is that you can fully focus on the logistics (inviting your attendees, contacting your vendors, planning your budget) while we take on all of your design needs. Whether you’re mingling with current or potential customers, clients, or business partners, we’ll make sure you’re in great shape to be in front of a large audience.

Online Advertising: We pride ourselves in being a one-stop shop for all of your creative needs because we are also seasoned in online advertising. We can curate content (text-based and visual) that is both beautiful and impactful. Want to run a year-end giving email campaign to get in last-minute donations? Or, do you have an eCommerce store you want to drive traffic to during the holidays? When it comes to online advertising, choosing the right design agency and knowing how to time your campaigns is everything.

So, there you have it - a variety of reasons why outsourcing your creative during the holidays can save you time, strengthen your impact, and increase your potential ROI.
