Looking for Strategic, Customer-Focused, Results-Driven

Travel or General Health & Wellness Content

for Your Business, Newsletter, or Web Site?


"The greatest problem in communication is the illusion

that it has been accomplished."

—Daniel W. Davenport


Like what you've read on The Wellness Concierge® consumer site and want to include it—or similar material—on yours?

The Wellness Concierge® and The Romaine Group can produce custom general health and travel-health content for your site or organization or license health and wellness articles for your use.

For information on how investing in custom or licensed content and marketing communications can benefit your business, send an e-mail noting your current marketing and sales challenges and your target markets. Our CWO will contact you for a free consultation with no obligation on your part. (All information is considered confidential.)

We provide:

A full-range of information products;

Corporate travel-health seminars, special events, and training sessions;

Strategic marketing and communications consulting services for short- and long-term projects and initiatives.

 

OUR 'TIPPING POINT'

  • Fed up with outdated, pre-packaged, one-size-fits-all content that does nothing to distinguish your company or Web site from your competitors—or meet your marketing objectives?

  • Tired of generic, information-lite articles and text that don't capture—or influence—targeted site visitors or potential customers?

  • Disgusted by formulaic or regurgitated text that doesn't reflect the needs and interest of your specific customers?

  • Dismayed by the amount of poorly written and researched content and promotional materials that seem to fill the Web?

  • Appalled at the thought of having your firm's public "link" to consumers created by individuals with no professional writing, editing, or marketing communications experience?

  • Amazed that some vendors offer generic proposals without researching your business and marketplace, or even asking hard questions about your marketing and sales challenges?

So are we. That's why we don't just crank out copy, rework the same old text, slap some code on it, and post it on your site or e-mail it to your customers. 

 

It's a Process, Not a Formula or an Off-the-Shelf Package

Although we pride ourselves on our ability to efficiently and effectively research and produce relevant information products and marketing communications materials for a diverse group of clients, we're not in the generic  "info-packaging" business.

 

As strategic "Information Merchandisers," we leverage our health and wellness knowledge and communications experience to produce sales- and results-driven content and promotional materials that help you achieve your company-specific marketing and communications objectives.

We Don't Want You to Spend Unwisely—or Without a Plan

As experienced editorial, advertorial, and promotional writers and corporate communications, public relations, and marketing services professionals who have worked for both Fortune 500 clients as well as small businesses, we take a strategic approach to the work we do. Your firm's business and marketing plans are the cornerstone of our creative and consulting work.

 

Our first concern is that your projected needs or project scope are in line with your marketing objectives. Our second concern is that you get the most value for your available budget. In some cases, we may ask you to consider other alternatives and options that we believe may best suit your needs and help you to more cost effectively reach your target audience.

 

Our initial discussions will focus on your short- and long-term objectives, your available resources (including your actual budget), project scope and deadline, and other relevant business details. We'll undertake our own independent research of your firm and its customers.

 

After researching your company and your market and reviewing your marketing objectives, we'll create a custom proposal that includes recommended activities to help you maximize results while ensuring the best use of allocated resources.

 

A Sales and Marketing-Based 'Editorial' Approach

As marketing "storytellers," we know how to weave your message and selling points into credible, informative, and appealing consumer-focused content for:

  • Online Newsletters

  • E-Newsletters

  • Print Newsletters

  • Web Site Content

  • Advertorials

  • PR Kits and Releases

  • Sales Brochures and Selling Sheets

  • Collateral Materials

As professional editorial, marketing, and corporate communications writers and editors, we are uniquely skilled in shaping text and visuals to create products that not only capture the attention of a targeted audience but also create a positive association for your company.

 

We create content that:

  • Integrates your company's/site's designated copy points and/or unique selling points

  • Supports your stated marketing and sales objectives

  • Reinforces your firm's branding and positioning

  • Counters expressed and unspoken consumer and client sales objections

  • Differentiates your company's products and services from your on- and offline competitors

  • Helps retain your existing site visitors, customers, or newsletter subscribers

  • Attracts new site visitors, customers, or newsletter subscribers

  • Engages the reader/viewer/visitor through professionally written and edited copy

  • Is easily understood by the targeted audience
