Marketing for Small Businesses
Ever want to build a Facebook page? Attract customers via Twitter? Need to update or re-build your website? Just know you need more customers, and not quite sure what to do?
I focus on helping small businesses who need to grow their business, but either don’t have their own marketing team, or need to complement their in-house talents. I want to teach you what I do, train you, and help you do as much of your own marketing as you would like. Or, I’ll take it all on. Whatever fits your needs!
How This All Started
A tennis teammate once said to me that her family needed a REFRESH! No, she didn’t want to ditch her husband or her kids and start over. She just recognized that throughout the year, bad habits form. Kids talk back, spouses don’t help each other out like they should. Common courtesy and manners fall by the wayside as busy days wear you down. When these times came around, she would sit down with her family and tell them that they needed to REFRESH their attitudes and get back to the manners and values that define their family. Kind of like a do-over, or better yet a do-better. Everybody would respond and they would go about their merry way.
I loved this concept so much that I started my own family REFRESH routine with my kids. They responded and I found that approach to work better than boring lectures. My kids are old enough to know the rules and know right from wrong (at least I think so ). Now my kids even recognize the tell-tale signs and tell me it’s time to push the REFRESH button.
So why not take this same approach to the marketing world? Every brand can become stagnant, every marketing program can become stale and need to be revived. Every business owner or Marketing Director can become overwhelmed with their daily activities. My goal is to help small and medium-sized businesses stay fresh and exciting, improve results and ultimately drive more business.
