 When we say we have longtime clients, we really mean it. Just ask Dennis Biliske of Resource Auction, who’s been a client of ours as long as he’s been in the auction industry: 35 years. He says working with us makes life a lot easier for his team and his business. Read on for more reasons Dennis has trusted us for more than three decades. Forum Multimedia: Tell us about your history working with The Forum and Forum Multimedia. Resource Auction: We started using The Forum right when we started doing auctions over 30 years ago and have done so ever since. To get our customers the right information about upcoming auctions and events, we rely on many services The Forum offers, but mostly print ads, digital ads, and TV commercials we air on AGWEEK TV. We also run ads in The Farmer’s Forum, Grand Forks Herald, The Aberdeen Farm Forum and some of The Forum’s smaller newspapers in our rural communities. We also utilize Forum Communications Printing for our printing needs. Our people at The Forum deal with that quick turnaround time and understand that in our business, time is crucial. Forum Multimedia: How has your business benefited from working with The Forum? Resource Auction: We feel like we are at an advantage because we can reach so many customers and subscribers this way. The Forum has definitely helped us grow our buyer base because we have many good advertising options. Forum Multimedia: Why would you recommend our services? Resource Auction: The Forum ad representatives and graphic designers make our lives a lot easier. We think a lot of other people and businesses would benefit in the same way. One of the big things that is important to auctioneers is that everything we do is time-dated material. That means a lot of the information we get from sellers is last minute. Our people at The Forum deal with that quick turnaround time and understand that in our business, time is crucial. They always make the time to deal with the things that we need to have done quickly because of that. If they didn’t, it would be very difficult for us to be in a business that requires such quick turn around times. Browse our services

Forum Multimedia: Tell us about your history working with The Forum and Forum Multimedia. MetroPlains Management: We’ve worked with The Forum for a long time, but in the last two years, we’ve amped up our direct mail strategy and distribution. We did this because we wanted to target seniors age 55 and older. Using the direct mail options at Forum Multimedia allowed us to target this age group, while also targeting other areas of our campaign needs: renters only and homeowners who could potentially become renters. In addition, we’ve also been able to target specific regions and smaller towns where we think seniors are more likely to take an interest in what we have to offer. Forum Multimedia: How has your business benefited from working with The Forum? MetroPlains Management: Overall, we’ve had really good success with our direct mail campaigns. We’ve also stayed under our limited marketing budget because the cost for Forum Multimedia services is so affordable, and that includes printing costs. Forum Multimedia: Why would you recommend our services? MetroPlains Management: The Forum Multimedia team is really easy to work with and they always achieve what we ask of them either on time or ahead of schedule. They’re fast-acting, they get our direct mail proofs back to us right away for review, and the consultants make all the other steps in the process simple and efficient. Forum Multimedia: Who would you recommend our services to? MetroPlains Management: Anyone who has a limited budget and needs to target specific audiences will benefit from working with Forum Multimedia. They always come back to us with great, cost, effective strategies that are very targeted and just keep getting better every time I work with them. It’s always a pleasure to work with local companies, their people and Forum Communications Printing (a sister company to Forum Multimedia). Your team always gets things done.

How to Grow Your Business in the Fargo Moorhead MarketIf you own or manage a small to medium size business in the Fargo Moorhead market you know that advertising, marketing, and retaining customers are a very important aspect. The thing however, is that these things usually end up at the bottom of the list. Why? You are busy running the day to day activities and it just feels like these things are not so important and you don't have anyone to delegate your marketing tasks to. This can have a devastating effect on your business. After all, you don't operate alone without competitors. If these competitors are putting systems in place to grab the attention of more prospects than you are (or maybe even stealing your customers) you may be in for a big battle.  |
