New customers are the lifeblood of every business, just as participation is the essence of member associations, and Timothy Communications works to equip businesses and not-for-profit associations of every type and size with fresh selling tools and creative strategies to fuel growth. From basic web site building to sophisticated video stories, and from promotions to professionally written news stories, E-newsletters and message-affirming photographs,

TimComm has been providing affordable sales, marketing and business development tools to organizations in Chicago and throughout the U.S. for 25 years.

As business communications counselors who have served to build many organizations from the ground up, we share our experience--covering not only everything leading up to victory parades but also the minefields of failure--to develop road maps that lead to achievable objectives. We pride ourselves on conveying information persuasively, succinctly and directly, without frivolous fluff. We build our communications programs around sound strategies and leverage all available outlets to reach the people our clients wish to reach.

Video, in particular, is being widely used now, even by the smallest of businesses and member organizations, owing to its affordability and the speed at which it can be produced and featured on web sites and delivered over the Internet. Brief videos level the playing field, making it possible for virtually everyone with a useful product or service to connect with existing customers and reach out to new ones.

Businesses in the broadest range of specialties--from physical therapy and art galleries to manufacturers and not-for-profit associations--are animating their web sites with brief, compelling home page video stories. Often, those same videos are then uploaded to YouTube--which has risen to become the second largest search engine after Google--to make it easier for prospective customers and members to find you during Internet searches.   And when pared down to 30 seconds, an edited version of the same video footage can essentially serve as an inexpensive online commercial, as evidenced by our TimComm intro in the top left hand column of this page. The end game with video is not only to make your business easier to find on the Internet, but to engage prospective customers once they find it with the stories you have to share.

Having been in business development and marketing communications since 1985, we still rely on all the traditional selling tools and public relations practices. But the advent of E-marketing, coupled with online video, is the most efficient way to communicate in 2010.

Once we've agreed on a marketing plan, we generally start out with new clients by populating their web site with fresh text, photos and videos, then build out from that base. Our top priority is almost always the same: identify new customers or prospective members for our clients and make the connection.

Initially, we'll spend some time with you to get acquainted, without obligation. We'll spend a day in your office or in the field on your behalf for a very reasonable fee if it helps to get things started We typically represent our clients on a year-to-year basis--we've served three of our national clients for 15 years or more--but in these challenging times, we'll accommodate your needs month-to-month or even week-to-week with the promise of doing our level best. Please feel free to write us or call anytime, if only to begin a discussion, at 708-974-3152. Thanks very much for visiting.
