Stimulate Customer Goodwill
Many articles will involve news about your clients. New customers will appreciate the opportunity to provide input, preview articles and ultimately see their names in print without incurring any expense.

MEASURING AND LEVERAGING YOUR RESULTS

Measurement
In addition to clip reports and advertising equivalency value analyses, our reporting mechanisms enable us to show how many impressions you have on the Internet, circulation of print news, the ratio of online and print results, content analysis and more. We also measure the tremendous impact that your PR program has in search engine optimization (SEO).

Leveraging your clips
By retaining news clipping services, and our own internal search services, we obtain copies of most articles and impressions that appear about your organization. In turn, we push links through our social media and prepare news blasts with links from the original source, offering opportunities for you to deliver credible news to your prospects and clients.

Building Your Collateral Packages
By purchasing reprint permission on key articles, clients can incorporate their news into their collateral packages, enhancing your reputation and showcasing your knowledge.

INTERNET MARKETING

Web sites
An attractive, interactive Web site is a requirement for every business, and anyone who has not updated their site in the past two years is likely missing a great deal of opportunities through search engine optimizations. As a result, Caryl Communications Inc. works with leading Internet consultants in the region to ensure an attractive, highly marketable Web site.

Social Media
In addition to marketing your news through social media, we provide content for all your social media activities and work with SEO and strategic social marketing professionals to incorporate your social media program into your entire communications and marketing programs.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
This is one of the most critical areas of marketing today, to make sure every Internet activity and tool used is being optimized so that search engines, and prospects, can find you. SEO needs to be considered from the onset and throughout your marketing activities. We work with you, your providers and/or our strategic alliance of firms to develop keywords and strategies to ensure that people will find you, even if they don't know your name.
