Strategy + Innovation for Product + Web Design

As a Small Business Owner, a CEO of a mid-size / SMB firm, or a C-Level executive of a large corporation, you probably care a little about the following goals:

Raising your Mind Share (Customer Appreciation), Market Share, Sales / Revenues & Profit Margins - in the face of competitive challenges, evolving customer needs, as well as economic / social / technological & market trends.

We believe, from our experience and research on successful companies, that innovation is the key to achieving those key high-level business goals.

 

We can help you apply the art of innovation to shape and align your Business and Marketing Strategy - which encompasses your Product Strategy & Product Management efforts (Defining and delivering excellent Products & Services) - as well as your Communications Strategy (Key Messages about your company, brand, and offerings) which directly impacts and drives your Web Presence / Web Design / Web Communications.

 

How are these areas / initiatives related?  Take a look here at a Business Planning & Marketing Analysis Roadmap (or a Visual Checklist!)   This high-level summary highlights the key steps starting from a market / business vision, through marketing analysis, to solid & effective execution plans (including website / web communications).

 

Address key Business Priorities to achieve End Goals:

Refine your Product and Service Offerings - Identify & articulate benefits, features, advantages - based on a clear understanding of markets, customers and their needs (stated and anticipated).

Boost your Market Presence - Define & convey Key Messages, Value Proposition, Competitive Positioning in clear & compelling ways to your target customer segments.

ReDesign your Website / Web Applications / Web Communications - Design, Functionality, Usability, Architecture, Content, Organic SEO / search engine rankings. Checklist for Web Design / Overall Website Effectiveness & ROI - Free Download.

Harness the power of innovation and sharp, creative, organized thinking to:

A
Create exceptional products + services that excel at meeting your customers' needs + creating value & competitive advantage.
B
Create compelling messages  to inform and persuade your customers & partners about your firm + offerings!

Success = Work Smart, then Work Hard!

Work Smart = Applying the Art of Innovation.

 

Innovations are driven by insights. The best insights come from clarity - a clear understanding of key drivers, customer & stakeholder perspectives, unmet needs, available options & opportunities.

In search of The Art of Innovation

The key is to rise above the noise / chatter to generate winning ideas, workable solutions, pragmatic plans.

3 Tips for Successful Innovation

Here are some initial tips on applying the art of innovation to create superior products, services, messages, strategies. In the end, it is about finding & implementing ways to satisfy (and even delight / inspire) your target users / customer segments, fulfilling your brand promise, delivering great value, and staying ahead of your competitors and market trends.

 

Tip #1
For solid Results and ROI, try Customer Focused & Marketing Strategy driven Innovation / ReDesign.

Marketing Analysis / Strategy  ►  Business / Product Innovation  ►  Marketing & Web Communications

 

Steps to Business & Web Innovation / Effectiveness

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tip #2
For consistent / repeatable market wins, the Market + Customer focused approach works regardless of your size and past experience.

Achieving success once (with one product) is one thing - achieving it with multiple products / services / markets requires a clear emphasis on market focused innovation - along with a sound approach and appropriate investments.

If you believe your business' size (too large or too small) - or your success with one product - puts you in a special category where the market / customer focused approach does not apply, then you are probably missing out on major opportunities!

Regardless of your business size and market position, you can uncover winning ideas and marketable solutions using the approach above.

Wherever you may be on your journey, we can help you focus on the fundamentals, identify issues and opportunities, and help achieve your business goals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tip #3
Overcome the usual impediments to innovation - by partnering with a strategic + creative professional for Fresh Perspective + New Ideas.

Groupthink
Blind Spots
Operational
Priorities
Fatigue
Inward Focus
N.I.H.
Sacred Items

 

We can help you identify & overcome these obstacles - and then visualize / define / implement innovative solutions that address your needs and goals.

The Art-of-Innovation ABCs:  Acuity • Brevity • Clarity

We feel that presenting some core ideas and observations in the form of crisp, visual summaries (slides with questions, short lists / bullet points, and graphics / diagrams) would be a lot more accessible and effective - rather than long essays. 

Feel free to apply these principles/ lessons to your business innovation and website redesign / overhaul projects - and when you need a helping hand & strategic partner, just drop us a line.

Innovation ABCs Foundation Blocks

Acuity:     Sharpness; Keenness of perception;  synonyms

Brevity:    Expressing much in few words; conciseness of expression ( not a paucity of ideas / output! )

Clarity:     Clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding;  free of indistinctness and ambiguity.

About our Marketing & Web Innovation Consulting Services

It's all about achieving targeted results. Achieving better results for your business - which could mean, for example, an increase in market awareness of your brand and your products & services; a greater appreciation of your company's capabilities; and perhaps, a clearer assessment and articulation of your competitive advantages i.e. reasons for doing business with you rather than your competitors.

As a strategic advisor to CEOs of Startups, Small to Medium sized Businesses (SMB segment), Entrepreneurial and Innovative Organizations, Growth Companies and Entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, we offer a range of consulting services that we believe are strongly connected. Or should be, for effectiveness and results!

These consulting service offerings lead to the most visible initiative for your business: the redesign and improvement of Web Sites & Web Applications / Online Services - including enhancements and additions to Online Functionality and Features, Interaction & Visual Design, all the elements that contribute to the overall User Experience and Usability.

A Note on Effective Web Design and Ethical SEO
(Organic vs. Black Hat)

Effective Web Design is much more than graphic polish (presentation) and Ethical SEO is very different from search engine result placement gimmicks or tactics. These questionable practices (usually accompanied by flowery and generous promises) are called Black Hat techniques - and include strategies / implementation approaches that may have worked earlier or may work for a short time - before search engines wise up to them and ban sites using them!

Improved search engine rankings are beneficial only when accompanied by well written, web-optimized, compelling web content that is tailored to your target customer segments. Such well-developed web content effectively conveys your brand, positioning, & offerings - and result in increased awareness / mind share / trust. These are critical intermediate steps / outcomes that must be achieved - before they lead to - repeat visits, increased web traffic, greater inquires, (responses to your calls-to-action), conversions (browsers to shoppers) and generation of sales, meeting of monthly or annual revenue targets, and the achievement of other specific business objectives and marketing goals.
 

 

List of our Service Areas

We are based in Silicon Valley, California - or if you prefer - San Francisco Bay Area, CA. We offer our consulting services to client companies all over the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

While it has become easy to conduct meetings via Skype and other internet options, we believe that the initial meetings and some strategizing / brainstorming sessions are best done in face-to-face meetings in person. It is said that some 60-70% of human communication / interaction is non-verbal (!) - and electronic communications probably take out some additional percentage points!

Overall, we feel that spending a little extra effort on these crucial & strategic steps is an investment that pays off handsomely in the later stages - with high returns / ROI.
