We help you get into business…
…and then we help keep you IN business!
Starting and running a small business isn’t easy, but it is exciting, challenging, and rewarding – and if everything is working smoothly – a lot of fun! We can keep everything moving in the right direction!
Business and Marketing Planning You have a great idea, wonderful products, lots of energy, and a passion to succeed. To get there takes planning – you need to know where you want to go and how to get there. We’ll help you do that.
Marketing Communication Forget about advertising – concentrate on telling your story. Stories make connections; they help people understand you, your vision, your products and services.
Branding and Messaging Your brand is a promise to your customer that tells them what to expect when they interact with you, your company, your staff, your products, and your services. It really is the reason why your customers engage with you, pay attention to you, and use your products or services.
Sustainability Analysis and Planning Ensuring that your operation and your products have a lighter environmental footprint not only sets a good example for your customers and competitors, it can reduce your energy, water, and other costs. We’ll help you look at what’s happening today and identify ways to reduce what is used tomorrow.
Website Development and Social Media Marketing Are you invisible? Participating in social media via online communities, blogging and networking sites is now thought of much like the Internet a decade ago. A company is conspicuous in its absence of a social media plan, especially if it sells to consumers. We’ll help you set up a website if you don’t have one, upgrade yours if it is out of date, and develop a social media marketing plan.
As a small business owner, you’re part of the engine that keeps our economy running! Small businesses have generated 60-80% of net new jobs annually over the last 10 years. Small businesses create more than half of non-farm private GDP.
Here’s the bad news: 40-50% have no online presence – no website, no blog, no Facebook page, no YouTube channel, no Flickr photostream…
