Three low-cost marketing tips that could be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Expand your market exposure, and build a powerful marketing image for pennies on
the dollar.
The world wide web is one of the most important marketing tools created in the
last 500 years. Most of us recognize the the value of the web for big companies
or those selling around the world but what many business people have trouble
realizing is how valuable the web can be in their local marketing efforts.
The truth is that most businesses can benefit from a web presence and a good web
marketing program. Best of all the cost of creating these programs is far
cheaper and more effective than nearly any other method. It is the ideal tool
for the cash strapped entrepreneur.
With the proper web site, even a very small business can build instant
credibility. They can create new markets. they can have the latest product and
service information available for customers, clients, or prospects. E-mail
lists of customers and prospects can allow instant promotions, news releases,
at very little or no cost. This new tool can reduce the need for printed materials or add a powerful supplement
to your collateral promotion program. To discuss how a web site could benefit

Increase your market awareness with the power of BRANDING.
We all recognize the name brands of products and services on a daily basis. What
many of us don’t understand is how the power of a name brand can be used in our small business.
“Branding” is more than just creating a snappy name or logo. Branding is the relentless
promotion of a specific name, logo or company trademark that makes sure that
the visual image of the brand is consistently portrayed as often as possible.
In a small business this may mean the company logo is always used in the same
colors. and is applied where and as often as possible on everything from
business cards and letterhead, brochures, web site, signs, vehicles, clothing,
hats, whatever and wherever a prospective customer might see it. Your company
may not have the money to spend on many of these items but wherever your brand
is placed it should have the same look as every other mark you have used.
Small business branding can create consumer confidence in the business, it’s products and services. It can create recognition and make a buying decision
easier for the customer. For more information on branding call me at

Get an annual marketing review to maximize results and stay ahead of the pack.
Most of us are reasonable satisfied with our marketing programs. If we weren't
we would make a change, or so we tell ourselves.
The truth is we all get busy running our business and we just do the same thing
year after year. It usually isn’t until sales fall into the toilet or we are loosing customers that we start
looking around for solutions. If we had just spent a little time reviewing our
marketing program each year we could have seen that some things needed to be
changed. Plus most of us don’t like taking the risk of trying new ideas unless we are desperate.
Having someone like myself come in and review your marketing efforts and make
recommendations on fine tuning your program is always a good idea and very cost
effective. Even if your program seems to be running fine it is often a good
ideas to throw out the lowest performing element in your marketing program and
adopt at least one new idea a year. This help keep your marketing efforts fresh
and generates creative thinking. To get a quote on a marketing review Call me at 503-422-8279 or send me an e-mail at
