New Opportunity for TMPAA Members

In an effort to further enhance membership value, the Target Programs Marketing Service (TPMS) has been established to provide a variety of marketing services to TMPAA members seeking assistance in upgrading their program marketing initiatives and resources.
TPMS has been constructed to assist TMPAA members who may not have the overall resources (staff, financial capacity, external vendor, etc) to develop a comprehensive marketing plan and program.
Service packages are flexible and, in most cases, can be customized to an individual PA/MGA’s specific marketing needs. Services can include:
-
Website design / upgrade
-
Marketing plan / budgeting
-
Brand development
-
Competitive Analysis
-
Media strategy
-
Creative / graphic design
-
Online marketing
-
Social media strategies
