Case Study
Way-Mar
Total Home Renovation Magazine
Trusted since 1973, Way-Mar has been working with homeowners across Waterloo region to make their homes better. From full renovations to window replacements, exterior cladding systems and roofing, Way-Mar provides the skilled craftsmanship, excellent project management and unmatched expertise needed to make every home improvement a success.
With a history of clients finding their way to Way-Mar through word-of-mouth, the company wanted to stay connected to this existing customer base and also broaden their network of potential clients. Armed with a steady supply of professional renovation photography and homeowners willing to share their story, Effective Edge came up with the concept of a bi-annual magazine designed to showcase inspiring home renovation ideas as well as customer renovation articles, recent projects and in-depth service and product profiles.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Strategy
To keep homeowners aware of the kinds of renovations and home improvement services Way-Mar can provide, we created a visually-appealing and interesting magazine that focuses on new content, current renovation trends, beautiful professional photography and engaging copywriting that features homeowners and their renovation stories.
Elements
Way-Mar’s Total Home magazine involves professional photography on location, interviews with homeowners and Way-Mar employees, copywriting for feature articles, and graphic design for the magazine’s layout. Plus, a copious amount of proofreading goes into the production of every magazine.
Result
Distributed to more than 6,000 homeowners across Waterloo region and available on the Way-Mar website as an online magazine, the Total Home magazine has been a successful marketing tool since its debut publication in 2013. With unprecedented growth in the home renovation industry over recent years, Way-Mar has found a unique way to stay in touch with customers and showcase their wide range of home improvement services.
“Our Total Home magazine is an excellent way for us to stay in touch with our customers and showcase some of our completed renovation projects. We have a great collaborative relationship with Effective Edge and working on the magazine together is no exception.”
Good copywriting doesn't happen without research, a solid understanding of your company and products, and a great deal of thinking, writing, and rewriting. As one of the many components that goes into a marketing project, copywriting never takes place in isolation, but rather as part of the collaborative process that includes strategy, design and execution.
At Effective Edge, we provide the following copywriting services:
Ad Copy
From the tagline to the heart of the message, we write compelling advertising copy that informs, inspires action, and captures the interest of your customers.
Brochure Copy
When you introduce a new product at a tradeshow, provide a company overview or explain the features and benefits of a program, a well-written brochure is the ideal marketing tool for handing to potential customers, leaving them with something they can take with them.
Website Content
As your most powerful marketing tool, your website deserves nothing less than clear and compelling content. Targeted, persuasive and inspiring content will keep traffic on your website longer, clarify your messages, and contribute to the overall professionalism of your site.
Video Scripts
A well-written video script holds an audience’s attention, maintains good pacing and conveys all the information you want your audience to hear. A script can take any shape – story, profile, product description, corporate overview – and paired with outstanding visuals, it provides the framework for a memorable video.
Media Releases
We have the ability to craft and distribute media releases to targeted publications so that your company or product news reaches the public.
Magazines
The perfect way to showcase your products and services, a magazine combines well-written content with design and photography for a printed marketing piece that truly makes a lasting impression.
Catalogues
At Effective Edge, a catalogue is never just a catalogue. Besides displaying products and product descriptions, the catalogues we create also have visual impact, persuasive content and professional photography.
Social Media Posts
