Customer Magazines
Branding
Your customers are increasingly turning to marketing communications that entertain them and add value to their experience. A customer magazine can achieve this like no other form of marketing. As the world around us becomes more sophisticated, so must you – bloomtide can help.
Branding is much more than just a logo, it’s the personality of your business and it requires an emotional response from those who engage with it. It’s what people think when they hear your name being mentioned and how they feel when they see it in print.
We can develop great content for your own customer publication to captivate your audience and build your brand. We are journalists, designers and project managers rolled into one. Each of these elements is crucial in making a successful customer magazine worthy of your brand. We research articles thoroughly, write gripping copy and feature only the most engaging content that will keep your readers coming back time and time again. With customer magazines increasing brand loyalty by 38%*, the question is, why not?
A nice shiny new logo isn’t going to change the culture of a business or its values. So when customers come to bloomtide and ask us to help develop a new identity or revise a current one we ask questions. These questions are designed to challenge you, get you thinking about who you are, where you are and what you want to be.

Sometimes the result is that fundamental changes need to take place in the business, staff need to be trained and customers re-educated. It’s an exciting journey that affects the soul of the business with an end result that should inspire everyone that comes into contact with you. You shouldn’t settle for anything less.
Advertising We have many years of experience creating advertising campaigns for a wide range of clients from jewellery retailers to legal firms. We work with you to help identify targets and develop the right message. The focus is to inject great creativity to ensure the piece attracts the response you are looking for. Advertising can take many forms across a vast array of mediums. The traditional methods have become less effective over the years, instead bloomtide aims to develop a strategy that makes the most of today’s emerging technologies.
