Sign Me Up…

Have you taken stock of your business signage recently?

If your teardrop banners are torn and your business signage is looking forlorn, JFM can help!  Presenting a professional image is vital to maintaining credibility, and having a consistent message across all signage can really boost this.

AgriOptics in Methven recently moved into new premises and updated their signage. Thanks to a winning combination of sign written vehicles, a stunning trailer graphic, teardrop banners and balcony signage, they are now hard to miss. If you’d like to find out more about updating your signage, give Jo a call today on 308 6272 or email jo@jfm.co.nz

eCommerce in Action with Letterland.co.nz

Web design, website design Ashburton, eCommerce, Selling online, catalogue, shopping cart, website Timaru, website CanterburyLetterland, a children’s education company, came to JFM needing a new website. The site needed to look fresh, fun and appealing yet retain a professional air. Another important consideration was shopping cart functionality, as customers needed to be able to order products in a straightforward manner.

JFM have created a site where all of the Letterland products are listed in a catalogue. A custom search function on the left allows customers to search for products based on a child’s age, specific skill or media. Products are also grouped under headings such as ‘Early Years’, to make finding products as easy as possible for teachers. The site has a shopping cart function, allowing customers to place their orders and pay by cheque or direct credit before orders are dispatched.

The Letterland site is a great example of e-commerce in action. To see more, visit www.letterland.co.nz

What does Trademe and a Rosebank retirement village have in common?

Sometimes it pays to be creative and branch out from traditional advertising media in order to reach your target audience. The Rosebank Villas are a good example of this. Listing the Rosebank Villas on Trademe makes them available to a wider range of people and complements the print and radio adverts that are part of the same campaign. To see how Rosebank has made technology work for them, visit the auction below.
