Depending on what you are looking for in terms of advertising you may well need to look at one of these related services. Advertising agencies generally look at advertisement through television and newspaper media. They also produce posters and leaflets, particularly if you are looking to advertise locally as opposed to paying thousands and thousands for a thirty second television advert! A local advertising agency will be able to promote your business on paper (usually) and circulate an effective advert that they will work with you to word and design. Promotion companies are quite similar to advertising agencies and the national ones tend to work with fairly large clients who advertise on television and boast major brand names.

However some promotion companies produce and promote events -- these are ideal for launching a new product. They are also useful to hire for parties, weddings and graduation parties or other significant events. Local event production agencies promote either your business -- or you -- with a person to person approach. Marketing services, on the other hand, have become more concerned with internet advertising. They have changed significantly over the last few years and usually have a web based approach and often promote existing sites or even help to create new ones.

Choosing an Advertising Agency
There are a great many advertising agencies to choose from, with a range of different services to offer. Many indicate services and prices on their websites but it may be useful to look for a local agency as they know the local area, available market and the demographics affecting targeting. They will have a clearer idea of which business practices work best in the area, what type of advertising has the most appeal and any other relevant knowledge for that particular area. Most reputable agencies will be able to show relevant qualifications such as degrees in Marketing or English and other related fields, together with past client testimonials -- and will be affiliated with one or more National Association related to marketing and advertising. There will also be a team of people, each able to play their part, such as a designer, copywriter and editor. You can expect them to be well organised and to offer some IT related services as well as printing and publishing services using materials of a high standard, including graphics and images. Costs remain dependant upon the nature of the work they are required to undertake. However if you have a very small budget you should perhaps consider simply placing an advert for your business in a newspaper and here at Classifieds.

Choosing a Promotion Company
Most companies deal with events to launch a given product into the market. There are local and national companies. If you use a national company expect to pay several thousand pounds for an unforgettable night of glitz and glamour. Certainly these companies pull out all the stops, providing all types of entertainment from dancing to musicians to caricaturists in heavily decorated locations loaded with the finest quality food and beverages. They are certainly adept at throwing a party and are ideal for a once-in-a-lifetime event such as an expensive wedding -- but are less well suited to promoting small and medium size businesses which can be assisted far better by a local firm who can organise and promote the opening of a new restaurant in town with a smaller number of staff who are able to work with your own team. Again you may wish to check out the credibility of the company by seeing with whom they are associated and affiliated, together with client testimonials.

Choosing a Marketing Company
Marketing companies are the most popular choice by far as they promote businesses online, usually in the form of website design or website improvement including search engine optimisation (SEO). The prices are also reasonable as competition is fierce. Ten years ago, the creation of a website would typically cost tens of thousands of pounds; however many sites can be created for far less than �1,000 today. They can also be modified and upgraded by designers who are skilled and experienced in these tasks and will be able to makeover your website the way you would like and in a search engine friendly fashion.

Designing a Website
To design a website, electronic media content is used and turned into hypertext mark up language (HTML) for interpretation by Web Browsers and for graphical display. A website and web pages are loaded onto a web server and GIF, JPEG or PNG images are created and added to the site where appropriate. Basic sites tend to be static in design which means they are less complex than interactive sites. The content of these pages may need to be manually changed by the webmaster or site owner. These sites are less expensive to build but they have their limitations and are best suited to a site where the content does not need to undergo constant change.

Dynamic web pages are far more complex and can update content depending on the end user or clients input or computer environmental changes such as time. They are usually created using a scripting language such as ASP, ASP.NET for Windows based sites and PHP or Perl for Unix / Linux sites. Technologically more advanced, these sites generally possess attractive graphics and perhaps animations, video and sound -- but these can require plug-ins to run such as Flash or Java run time which you may have notice are needed when trying to access content from some websites. If your business is to sell online, you will also need a full eCommerce system, including secure payment. There are a number of providers who specialise in providing off-the-shelf solutions in this area, many of which can be further customised to make your site unique.

Promoting a Website
A good marketing company will be able to design the site of your choice with the content you desire and be able to direct you in terms of maximising and capitalising on your site by ensuring content, usability, appearance and visibility are consistent with high standards and are also matched to your target audience and purpose. They must also understand search engine optimisation and structure your site correctly so that it targets and, eventually, gains rankings in the search engines for search terms that will attract users to the site who are likely to actually buy! There are a variety of tools available which use search data from the major search engines in helping to identify the right terms to target.

The level of knowledge of SEO varies hugely from agency to agency, with the industry being still relatively immature. References from satisfied clients are ESSENTIAL. With a correctly structured and targeted site, you will also need to add useful, in-depth and unique content to it and engage in a linking campaign (exchanging links with other related and relevant websites) which has a major effect on the way in which the search engines value your site in the longer term.

However you decide to promote your business, check all the types of marketing available before settling on the one most appropriate to you- look at web site design and promotion, advertising companies and event production
