Prime Marketing for Some Prime Real Estate

How does one go about marketing 165 pristine acres of prime real estate ready for development? Sounds fairly easy unless you consider your target audience is only one customer hidden in a haystack as large as the U.S. Fortunately, Duckworth Morris Realty, a three-generation Tuscaloosa based firm who specializes in residential and commercial brokerage development, contacted McWhorter Communications.

A shotgun approach, while often effective, would be cost prohibitive. It was decided the best approach would be a focused mailing of a high quality informative brochure whose call-to-action would be to drive prospects to a new web site for more information. That information included not only details about the property itself, but area info which included statistics on the high population growth and the high-salaried positions being created in and around Huntsville due to the influx of people from the Base Realignment and Closure Act.

McComm Launches a Solid Built Site for Rockland Engineering

Rockland Engineered Solutions is a very unique company. How many people can say that they know how to extend maintenance intervals from 30 days to three years for their clients? It’s even more impressive to learn that Rockland’s clients are in the extreme environs of the mining and cement industries. Apparently, 12″-wide rocks moving at 1,200 tons per hour can tear up a metal chute fairly quickly.

Rockland is based out of Minden, Nevada, right in the heart of the America’s gold and mineral mining territories. Yet even with their central location and expert knowledge of engineering solutions, they still needed to get their unique message to their prospects.

McWhorter Communications is proud to be one of the crew to help create awareness for these fine folks. Working closely with their new parent company, Valley Rubber, McComm has created a new corporate identity, built a new web site and launched a technical blog site.

Some of the web site features include customer testimonials, videos, interactive case histories and project snapshots. See the full site at www.rockland.com

A Digital Solution

McWhorter Communication was honored to help The Huntsville/Madison County Airport Authority create and distribute their Port of Huntsville 2010 Annual Report. Since 1989, members of the McComm team have been tasked with not only designing and printing the airport’s beautiful and informative annual reports, but with finding methods to cut costs and yet still deliver high quality marketing materials.

The solution: go completely digital. This 2010 e-publication was delivered through social media channels, e-blasts, e-newsletters and web links, thus completely removing all printing and snail-mail costs.

When DHCA desired a new web site to communicate with current and prospective parents and to reflect their new and growing campus, they turned to the McComm Team to fill the bill. The site was designed to allow the school officials to make instant and easy updates from any computer with internet access.

With this new site, we hope you will notice increasing efforts on our part to keep you in the loop with all the pertinent, timely information you will need to make the most of your Decatur Heritage experience. Read more »
