From fly fishing I know that if you can see the fish you’re casting to, your chance of landing it increases dramatically. I brought this same thought to my marketing plan. I selected a handful of potential clients and decided to make a deliberate and targeted presentation just for them. I knew my presentation would have to be spot on to elicit a strike. I came up with the idea to design a mock fly line box and fill it with information about Smith Brand Media. I made a small booklet, a greeting card with a business card holder and mounted portfolio pieces onto black illustration board. All of this was inserted into the “fly line box” then packed into a tissue paper lined white box and sent off to it’s final destination.
I also know from fishing that the more time your line spends in the water the greater chance you have of landing the big one; so I created a video of my assembling the box. Now I just need the line to go tight and get clients in the net!
