2011 marks a year of great change for the United Way of Greater Victoria. Not only is the organization moving toward their 75th anniversary in the community, they are undergoing a large shift in their focus both internally and externally. Through extensive print and online brand strategies, BONE Creative will be leveraging the public to solidify the United Way’s place as a ‘bone’afide community leader.

In this year’s campaign, BONE Creative had the opportunity to film 3 inspiring and emotional community stories. The purpose of these video vignettes was to help educate the public on the breadth of services offered by The United Way of Greater Victoria. The video vignettes worked together with the rest of the print and marketing campaign to help build community awareness.

When you hang out your business shingle, it won’t be very long until some worthy cause comes knocking on your door for sponsorship dollars. Whether it’s the local baseball team, a charity auction, or a health-related issue, how can you measure whether it will do anything to boost your business?  Most sponsorship opportunities offer to “put your logo on a sign” or thank you in an advertisement… but are those really valuable?

Marketers – Get Your Game On!

Posted on: April 18th, 2011 by Bone Admin 1 Comment

There’s a fun new trend in online marketing these days and it gets to the inner competitive child in all of us.  The technical marketing term is ‘gamification’ but it essentially means taking something mundane and turning it into a game.

Remember the games you made up when you were a kid?  You avoided the cracks in the sidewalk.  You had to burst every bubble in the bubble wrap (ok so that’s not restricted to just kids). You learned to count to ten by playing hopscotch and on a long road trip, you played ‘punch buggy’ with your brother.  And don’t doubt for a second that the urge to play games goes away when we grow up.

They’re called “QR codes” and they’re the latest trend to help connect the offline world to the online world.  If you haven’t seen one yet, you just did (above).  And if you haven’t checked one out yet, you may want to try it out.  If for no other reason to at least be ‘in the know’ if someone asks you about them.

5 Reasons Trade Shows Fail

Posted on: February 17th, 2011 by Bone Admin 1 Comment

How many times has your sales team come home deflated from a trade show saying it was an abject failure.  Although they can’t quantify it with anything more than anecdotal evidence, there are five main reasons trade shows can fail to deliver the goods.

1)  You’re at the wrong show

Make sure that the people who attend the shows are the decision-makers you’re trying to reach.  Tire kickers, Sunday drivers and ‘get out of school for a day’ visitors are not usually in the market for anything other than a distraction — and maybe the opportunity to collect a goodie bag of swag.
