Real Results
Tulsa Rib Company Loyal Patron Club
Tulsa Rib Company, a leading, family-owned restaurant located in Tustin, CA, known for their legendary ribs, famous Tulsa Potatoes, tasty barbecue and friendly people, has been working with Orange Label for the past several years. It has been a goal, through the duration of the relationship between Tulsa and Orange Label, to create and implement effective marketing tactics, which generate real results.
Tulsa was looking for a way to say thank you to their many loyal Tulsa-goers, so Orange Label assisted in developing the Tulsa Loyal Patrons Club – an offer that rewards frequent customers by offering $10 towards the next Tulsa meal, for every $100 spent in the restaurant. To kick-start the promotion, the campaign was featured in ads running in OC publications and supported by in-restaurant promotion. The club proved to be a hit. Loyal Patrons were grateful for the rewards and the number of customers in the club has grown dramatically. It is safe to say there are even more loyal Tulsa-lovers now!
“Our Loyal Patron Program has increased traffic into the restaurant and increased guest check totals!”
- Liz Parker, Co-Owner of Tulsa Rib Company.

Web 3.0 on the Horizon
Posted by Web Admin in Media, News, Uncategorized on January 5th, 2010
Just when you thought that you finally understood the term “web 2.0”, people are now talking about “web 3.0”. Other than just trying to confuse you more, the idea behind web 3.0 doesn’t take you away from the ever so outdated 2.0 level.
As the technology grows and web 3.0 develops more into a form, we will start to see more web intelligence by semantic search queries and more relevant search data returned to us based on our history of searches. Browsers and search engines will be more understanding of what our tastes are and ultimately become more accurate. Returning personalized search results, not random data.
How would this work? Intelligent data can be gathered from traditional web 2.0 applications, user generated content and other information sharing sources to feed a 3.0 pipeline. Having the technology to understand your decisions and actions might help you make your decisions. HowStuffWorks.com demonstrated the following example:
“Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. In our example, you could type “I want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good Mexican restaurant. What are my options?” The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.”
Below are some slideshows that do a great job describing how these concepts work. Check them out!
Taking it to the next level…
Could your business or lifestyle use 3.0? What advances do you see happening in how the Advertising and Marketing world operate?

Real Results: 120th Anniversary Celebration Ignites Momentum!
Posted by Mike Thompson in Branding, Media, New Business, News, Newsletter on December 21st, 2009
San Jose, CA based O’Connor Hospital is celebrating their 120th Anniversary. To promote this milestone, a unique logo was developed and it has become the focal point of an aggressive local print and mall banner campaign. The logo was also used to recognize the 120 years at The Spirit of O’Connor Gala in October to raise funds for O’Connor’s Imaging Services department.
The strategy of promoting O’Connor Hospital’s 120th Anniversary has generated strong market pressure and further enhanced the core identity of “It’s The Way We Care”.
Great Ideas: Industry Edge; Fairhaven’s 2010 Interactive Web Platform
Great Ideas:
Industry Edge; Fairhaven’s 2010 Interactive Web Platform
Approaching it’s 100th Anniversary, Fairhaven Memorial Park and Mortuary has created a legacy of helping families in Orange County make decisions in a difficult time. It’s with that reputation that Fairhaven continues to reach out to help the community with understanding, sympathy and educational tools to help people in sudden or prepared situations.
In 2010, Orange Label will launch a new web platform for Fairhaven’s existing website that will simplify the process and strengthen users’ understanding of funeral and mortuary planning online. Since the primary constituency is older and not web savvy, the platform will guide pre-planning or at-need users through a interactive counselor-simulated video and step-by-step educational and decision making process. The primary goal of the platform will allow people to make decisions in a organized manner. It will also allow for an understanding of what to expect before meeting with a Fairhaven counselor to finalize decisions.
Real Results: Newport Pacific’s Campaign: A Homerun!
Posted by Mike Thompson in Uncategorized on November 13th, 2009
Newport Pacific, a company that manages over 70 manufactured home communities across the United States, selected Orange Label to quickly increase occupancy at their Austin, Texas property during August and September 2009. The agency credits landing the account to its direct response expertise in generating qualified leads and their ability to accurately target niche audiences. The high frequency radio campaign targeted the Hispanic community with the theme, “Live In Your Own Home, NOW”. The results hit home. The property surpassed the occupancy goals midway through the radio campaign and Newport Pacific considers the campaign a grand slam!
Client Spotlight: 25 Years of Dedication
Posted by Mike Thompson in Awards, Branding, Media, News, Newsletter on November 12th, 2009
Donnellon McCarthy
Orange Label Art + Advertising built its foundation on long-term client relations. However, even by these standards, the 25 year relationship with Donnellon McCarthy, a Cincinnati-based office technology dealership, is remarkable and extremely newsworthy in the advertising industry. Even though they are b2b, we’ve used business-to-consumer advertising strategies with morning drive radio as the backbone of a strategy that has also included marketing materials from corporate brochures to delivering truck and vehicles wraps.
During the twenty-five year relationship, Donnellon McCarthy has remained independent in spite of two very significant roll-ups in the copier/office technology industry. They have passed the baton from one generation to the next, transitioned from selling analog to digital technology, experienced significant organic growth and expanded geographically to have a marketing area that includes Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
