ICT/Media
Havco is pleased to offer a variety of ICT and media related services to voluntary and community groups.
Print & Design service
Want to promote an event but can't afford the expense of professional printing? Need a striking design for a poster or flyer but lack the experience with desktop publishing software to make your idea a reality?
Havco can provide a free professional quality design service and offer near cost printing of print runs too low to be practical or cost effective at commercial printers.
We can provide printing up to A2 size in both colour and black and white, as well as longer banner printing.
We also now offer a CD/DVD burning service. We can produce bulk runs of CDs and DVDs (both DVD5 and DVD9 discs) with high quality printed labels for near cost price.

Marketing strategies
Why do you need a marketing Strategy?
The majority of marketing information, advice and training available often only addresses the tactical side of marketing such as how to write copy, publish an newsletter, market your business by writing articles or press releases. etc. (all of which Havco offers)
So, what's the problem?
Although these are all very valid ways to market your business they ignore or gloss over the overall strategic marketing techniques. In other words, you only get half of the story.. a small part of what you actually need to succeed.
Without a well-thought-out marketing strategy behind them, your chances of finding success with any or all of these marketing tactics are limited and you're likely to float from one method to another without ever actually finding success with any of them.
We at Havco offer the full package!
We'll help you with the other half of the online marketing puzzle!
We'll actually sit down with you and help you to draw up a detailed plan for exactly how and what you're going to do to market your business. More than simply writing down what kind of marketing methods you plan to use, we'll help you with thinking about who your (potential) customers are, what their needs and motivations are, who your competition is and what they are doing to attract customers, and other factors that will affect your marketing success, and we'll be there to help you throughout.
Along with the above we still deliver advice and guidance on all the other usual tactical marketing elements such as creating a newsletter, websites, and advertising, and also offer a design and print service where we will design and/or print your publications (flyers, posters, posters, annual reports etc) or if its too much for us, then help you find a high quality low cost alternative.

ICT Healthcheck
Is your ICT underperforming? Think your PCs may have a virus? Unsure whether your systems are future proof? Confused by technical terms and meaningless numbers when it comes to buying upgrades?
Havco can help your organisation get the most out of your ICT with one of our free PC health checks. We will assess your current IT setup and provide practical advice and hands-on assistance to get the most from your equipment in the short term, as well as create a long term plan for upgrades if necessary. We can provide degrees of help from a full consultation on creating a strategy to upgrade and improve multiple computers to quick fixes for individual problems.
ICT Problems we can help you with include:
- Installing/reinstalling operating systems (e.g Windows XP etc)
- Replacing/upgrading hardware components
- Removing viruses and spyware
- Networking, including wireless and internet setup
- Recovering lost data and passwords
- Backing up data
Many charities and voluntary services have underperforming ICT setups and do not know who to turn to for help, or are unable to pay the often hefty fees that come with IT consultancy companies. Havco can offer free impartial advice on upgrading and maintaining computer systems and provide a selection of retailers and other companies to get the best price for items with no external pressure to "push" services or particular brands. We can help make sure you get exactly what you want, and nothing else. We can offer advice on tuning existing systems to deliver better performance, assembling hardware and installing software, setting up essential services such as anti virus software and regular back-ups, small scale networking and more, and if your problems are out of the scope of our service, we can help you find people to solve them.
