The Power of Reputation Management
November 5, 2021
When you are searching for a new restaurant to try or a new product to buy, what influences your decision? Is it the pictures on the website and the product descriptions? Or is it the reviews left by other customers who’ve tried the product?Most people would say the latter. Customer reviews are extremely impactful in the buying decisions of consumers. People are more apt to trust the words of other people in their position, than what they are hearing directly from a business.
This is why putting and upholding a reputation management plan is extremely important. Reputation Management is not only a way to improve your company’s public opinion, but it’s also a way to showcase that you care about your customers and their insight.
In this blog, RSA will dive into the importance of Reputation Management and share some easy ways you can maintain a comprehensive Reputation Management plan.

From Design to Sublime: The Value of Choosing a Marketing Agency with an In-House Content Management System to Build Your New Website
October 22, 2021
Have you ever broken your computer and needed to call tech support for help? Sure, you can easily find the number you need to call to get help, but once you do, more times than not you spend precious time waiting for the next available representative, only to be bounced to another department, and so on and so forth. By the time you get the help you need, you’re worn out and jaded from the lack of attention and support you received. The same principle can be applied to the quote unquote “custom website development” services many marketing agencies and firms offer today. Here at RSA, we’re devoted to being the defector of this principle.

Off-season Online Marketing: How can it help your seasonal business?
October 20, 2021
Being centrally located in the beautiful Black Hills, where tourism is a key industry, Robert Sharp & Associates frequently works with seasonal clients. From restaurants to tourist attractions, to retail stores, many of our clients only operate during the peak summer months when vacationers are flooding the area.However, as marketing experts, we understand that online marketing during the off-season is just as important to your business success as marketing during peak months. Just because your business may be only open 3-4 months out of the year doesn’t mean you want to be put on the backburner during the rest of the year. Utilizing social media and digital advertisements are great ways to create top-of-mind awareness, build relationships with your patrons, and make you stand out amongst the competition.
In fact, while many seasonal businesses stop their marketing efforts in the off-season to save money, this may be one of the best ways to engage with your audience and build your customer base.
In this blog, RSA will dive into marketing online in the off-season, how to do it, and how it will benefit your seasonal business.

Fortifying Agency-Client Relationships: RSA and the City of Box Elder
September 22, 2021As a small, locally-owned business ourselves, Robert Sharp & Associates understands the immense time that goes into planning and hosting a successful event. We work with clients all throughout the year to help plan events such as the Central States Fair, Heart Ball, The South Dakota State Fair, and most recently added to our roster Patriot Day.
At RSA, we want each and every one of our clients to be successful, and we go above and beyond to do everything in our power to make sure that happens. So, when RSA was approached by the City of Box Elder to sponsor their upcoming Patriot Day celebration, our CEO Robert Sharp had an idea. Instead of becoming a paid sponsor of their event, RSA decided that we would help them market Patriot Day to the public. Our agency has a long-term relationship with the City of Box Elder and has worked with them on many projects. To us, this was a way to not only help support a wonderful event, but also build an even stronger relationship with our client.
