"I say spend, spend, spend on Bartercard. Look at how you will integrate barter into your cash flow"

As Bartercard businesses vary, attracting both accountants and personal trainers alike, a graphic design business needs to serve different companies with gusto, listening potential and especially... originality!

Debbi, Owner and Head of Design at Snap Marketing infuses these three traits into the business. Successful projects on Bartercard have been rolled out for Abbey Antiques, the Disc Directory, Sporting Affairs, Accounting for Business, Bartercard themselves, and currently Syn-Star group.  But enough of the airy-fairy talk!

 If you are spending money you should expect clear returns. ‘Companies should be looking at what they want as a return in revenue and spend 10 - 20% of what they expect to get back.’ comments Debbi, Creative Director. Not one to beat about the bush with marketing jargon, Snap get straight down to the nitty gritty - all that with a touch of humour of course!

Check out their website to put a smile back on your face: www.snap marketing.co.uk  Snap offer innovative logo ideas and roll out marketing strategies which promise to be unique. Most agencies only specialise in either marketing or design, implying greater costs since they outsource. Snap’s in-house designers create the work that can then be rolled out to the public - all under one fun roof!‘Our clients are fairly widespread, from IT to restaurants. We take barter work because we can’t spend enough!’ comments Debbi. ‘We design a campaign around the image the business is trying to portray. No hap-hazard marketing activity, everything is collated and looks uniform. We also analyse whether the message of the company is the right one.’
Key Questions are:Why are we doing this?
What are we trying to achieve?
Who is our target audience?

With 20 years worth of experience in design and advertising, the Snap team understand what it takes to achieve results. ‘We will happily discuss business requirements, budgets and individual needs, to make sure the company is on the right path and we suggest ways of making them fly!’ comments Debbi.  As a keen Bartercard members for the past 10 years, Snap’s motto seems to be spend more and get more in return.

"I say spend, spend, spend on Bartercard. Look at how you will integrate barter into your cash flow. We stay at the lovely Peacock Hotel a lot, go to cafes, use Print  Concern. We use Bartercard for leisure and then place that money we would have spent on leisure, straight back into the business."
