Marketing for manufacturing client, Ralston Instruments

For over 50 years, Ralston Instruments has engineered pressure calibration equipment and systems for a wide range of applications — saving time and taking the guesswork out of critical pressure testing, maintenance, and repair operations. As the company continued to grow and expand its product line into producing digital gauges and improved products for calibration it needed marketing materials to share its products with businesses and distributors.

Our Approach

Since 2010, in partnership with Sprokets, a strategic design and development firm, LaBella Creative has designed ads for publications that specialized in controlling and calibrating pressure in the field and in a lab for locations around the world. We also designed brochures, data sheets, catalogs, website banner ads, and user manuals. We maintained the branding across all marketing materials in a repeatable, consistent way that is recognizable as Ralston Instruments whether in print or online.

The Results

Having printed marketing materials gave Ralston Instruments a way to provide more details about their products at trade shows and when meeting with customers and distributors in person. The online banner ads publication ads grew their authority as an industry leader on calibration among various industries that use their products.

The user manuals have been helpful for customers to use their products safely and provide a way for current customers to reach out for support and for accessories and other products.

The return on investment has been well worth it. Every ad and marketing campaign has generated a substantial increase in product sales, so much so that Ralston Instruments has had to prepare internally to handle the influx of orders that came in after each campaign.
