IMAGINE CDs ~ Deliver Your Marketing Directly and Effectively, with Style and Innovation!

Destination Marketing Organization CDs (Scroll down for Referrals and Benefits Analysis)

Does Your Organization Spend More than $10,000 a Year on Printing and Mailing Directories, Guides, Brochures, and Other Print Projects?

If the answer is yes, many of the below benefits will help your organization achieve its 2010-2011 business goals, just as they did with the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau!

Give your target audience the perfect promotional piece they will keep! All else being equal, it's better to give a physical, tangible promo item (a pen with your organization's name and logo, a business card, a coffee mug, etc) as opposed to just hoping that your audience will find your virtual information on the web. Push vs pull.

Our multimedia CDs update themselves automatically each time they are used! Our patent pending technology, just recently published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, enables our multimedia CDs to seamlessly update themselves with your latest information each time they are used - text, pictures, PDFs, video and more - to present users a fresh and enjoyable interactive experience each and every time! They can also include up to an hour of regular music when played in a car or home stereo to add additional entertainment value.

Our DMO clients partner with us to increase their productivity, save time, save money, increase revenues, capture leads, gather customer information, boost website traffic, eliminate over-production and inventory worries, fulfill government required green mandates and provide improved service to their communities by inspiring more visits and putting more 'heads in beds'; keeping them constantly engaged with a self-updating tangible resource they will read, listen to, watch, easily carry and always keep!

INCREASE bookings, RSVPs, calls, emails and site visits. Ask us how we increased a similar non-profit organization’s annual results by 700% within just two months.

REDUCE COSTS up to 50% or more without cutting corners or sacrificing value: Decrease and/or eliminate traditional printing and mailing expenses associated with bulky visitor’s guides, meeting guides, group tour guides, directories, catalogs, brochures, forms and other large print projects. Avoid incurring production and postage costs related to year-over-year obsolescence and re-publications.

Your target audience will appreciate, keep, and respond much easier and more so compared to paper - and they can always print it themselves or request a hardcopy if they really want!

To my colleagues around Washington State,

I have had the pleasure of working with Tolga Ural, Imagine CDs.com, to create a new meeting facilities guide and packaged travel guide for the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau. As we developed our board goals for 2009, one of the objectives focused on using cutting edge technology as a marketing tool to increase tourism to Snohomish County.

Printed pieces are out-of-date practically from the moment you print them. While many companies still use and rely on printed pieces, we found that more and more of our event planners and packaged travel companies were gravitating to electronic media for their searches and planning purposes. While at trade shows, we would present both CD’s and printed guides and found that we brought back the printed guides and the CD’s were gradually becoming the media of choice.

Enter ImagineCDs.com. I met with Tolga last year and that meeting planted the seed of change. His patent-pending technology allows for a user-friendly experience for the event planner, and an updateable collateral piece for the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau that does not require ‘throwing out the old’ piece; saving money, providing updated information to the event planner without a new print run, and was a green initiative. This does not replace our online presence, but augments it. We will launch this new CD at the upcoming Meeting Professionals International Western Education Conference in early July. I would be happy to discuss my experience working with Tolga with any of my colleagues. Please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Amy Spain
