Applied Imaging Thrives with New Services

Applied Imaging Logo

In today’s rapidly changing economy where budgets often get pinched and industries demand change, finding a business that can adapt to those changes, has the capacity to expand, and still provide superior service to their customers is uncommon. Applied Imaging, Orange Label client since 2005, has had the opportunity to thrive during this tough economy as well as offer new services that enhance their superior product offerings.

Applied Imaging is an Office Technology dealer that provides Managed Print Services and Document Management located in Grand Rapids Michigan. Early in 2011, Applied Imaging will be officially launching the addition of a Managed IT Services division. In addition to their new services, Applied will also be expanding from the Western Michigan region into Detroit by the end of 2011. Their growth will be accompanied by the addition of a new and dynamic website, a landing page strategy, print marketing sales materials and a aggressive radio campaign. Orange Label Art + Advertising has strategically helped create all of the marketing initiatives to ensure the marketing messages are powerfully integrated.

Tulsa Rib Company Loyal Patron Club

tulsa.jpg

Tulsa Rib Company, a leading, family-owned restaurant located in Tustin, CA, known for their legendary ribs, famous Tulsa  Potatoes, tasty barbecue and friendly people, has been working with Orange Label for the past several years.  It has been a goal, through the duration of the relationship between Tulsa and Orange Label, to create and implement effective marketing tactics, which generate real results.

Tulsa was looking for a way to say thank you to their many loyal Tulsa-goers, so Orange Label assisted in developing the Tulsa Loyal Patrons Club – an offer that rewards frequent customers by offering $10 towards the next Tulsa meal, for every $100 spent in the restaurant. To kick-start the promotion, the campaign was featured in ads running in OC publications and supported by in-restaurant promotion. The club proved to be a hit. Loyal Patrons were grateful for the rewards and the number of customers in the club has grown dramatically. It is safe to say there are even more loyal Tulsa-lovers now!

“Our Loyal Patron Program has increased traffic into the restaurant and increased guest check totals!”

- Liz Parker, Co-Owner of Tulsa Rib Company.

Client Spotlight: 25 Years of Dedication

No Gravatar

Donnellon McCarthy
Orange Label Art + Advertising built its foundation on long-term client relations. However, even by these standards, the 25 year relationship with Donnellon McCarthy, a Cincinnati-based office technology dealership, is remarkable and extremely newsworthy in the advertising industry. Even though they are b2b, we’ve used business-to-consumer advertising strategies with morning drive radio as the backbone of a strategy that has also included marketing materials from corporate brochures to delivering truck and vehicles wraps.


During the twenty-five year relationship, Donnellon McCarthy has remained independent in spite of two very significant roll-ups in the copier/office technology industry. They have passed the baton from one generation to the next, transitioned from selling analog to digital technology, experienced significant organic growth and expanded geographically to have a marketing area that includes Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

vistage-logo

At the Vistage Economic Summit recently, Economist Alan Beaulieu, president of the Institute for Trend Research in New Hampshire cited several tips for business owners as the economy comes out of the recession, one being “Ramp up on Marketing and Advertising.” Read all the tips below!

Tips for business owners

Economist Alan Beaulieu says business owners should take action as the economy comes out of recession:
• The beginning of 2010 will be a golden time to expand: equipment and real estate will be inexpensive, interest rates low.
• Borrow as much money as possible because future interest rates will rise.
• Hire the exceptional talent that will be available through 2010.
• Cease activities that don’t create profit; eliminate unprofitable products.
• Ramp up marketing and advertising.
• Look for ways to sell in western Canada, Brazil and Australia. These countries are positioned for strong future growth. Russia and China are not positioned for growth.
• Define and tout your competitive advantage.
• Lead with optimism. Be the chief cheerleader.

List cited from The Orange County Register, October 2, 2009
