We can create a maintenance schedule so that you can focus on other things and know that we will be able to keep you up to date and relevant in the social networking online world.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION – SEO

Our methods utilize documented techniques to improve both your search ranking and relevance, boosting natural site traffic.
BRANDING AND IDENTITY
To succeed in branding you must understand the needs and wants of your customers and prospects. You do this by integrating your brand strategies through your company at every point of public contact. Your brand resides within the hearts and minds of customers, clients and prospects. It is the sum total of their experiences and perceptions, some of which you can influence, and some that you cannot. A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for customers intensifies day by day. It’s important to spend time investing in researching, defining and building your brand. After all your brand is the source of a promise to your consumer. It’s a foundational piece in your marketing communication and one you do not want to be without.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Our corporate clients and non-profit clients alike appreciate that not only can we cover all of their printing, design, web and software needs, but we can also offer product and project photography at a much lower price than a commercial photography studio. We can build the project and budget around the notion that you can have high quality commercial shots without paying thousands of dollars to hire a studio for the day.
PACKAGING
With years of experience in print and packaging, we have knowledge of how to put your products on the shelf of a major retailer, or a boutique. We have designed packaging that is on the shelf of Costco and Other major retailers. We have designed packaging for small niche products as well. We have worked with packaging manufacturers as far away as China, and through our knowledge of dielines, our test printing process, and our ability to “think outside the box” so to speak, we can deliver. We understand that there is a lot of competition out there on the shelves and you have only a moment, while someone browses the aisle, to communicate your brand and make your product stand out.
BRAND PARTNERS
At Giant we have many clients who hired us to do a logo, a branding project, or website, and soon realized that being able to establish an overall brand that stretches seamlessly over all media is critical to their success.

Keeping the look and technology up do date will keep you in the game. Clients come to us with an existing brand that they want to carry across web, print, display, packaging, social media, or any other opportunity for their customer or clients to interact with the brand. Clients also come to us wanting to have an experienced team help them establish their company and brand as it grows. We believe that brand consistency is critical and that every order form, piece of letterhead, promotion, email marketing campaign, and web presence should reflect the pride and thought that wins consumer confidence in your product. We have started from scratch with clients, and in a true testament to our commitment to our brand partners, we have worked together for years through many changes in technology and culture to continue to keep them at the top. We are always looking for opportunities to support and assist you in growing your brand, and keeping it relevant in an ever changing landscape.
