Marketing
Are you still marketing your business exclusively though old-school, monotone, traditional methods of newspaper ads, radio and TV commercials, direct response mailings, or even buying pay-per-click placement on the internet search engines?
Today’s successful businesses are reducing the size of their expensive, never-ending, traditional advertising purchases. Yes, these ads do produce some business, but the cost is prohibitive, they only provide for a limited message, and there is no way to confirm how much of a return you actually get for your investment.
John Wanamaker, considered the father of both the modern department store and advertising, once said: “I know that half of my advertising dollars are wasted … I just don’t know which half.”
We work with our clients to redirect a portion of this investment to newer methods which can dramatically:
- Reduce your ongoing monthly marketing expenses
- Attract many more leads and customers from new sources
- Build a stronger awareness and sense of loyalty from your customers
Your remaining traditional advertising can still direct interested people to your newer, more expansive message which can be fully funded by redirecting the half of your existing advertising budget which isn’t currenly being wasted.

Just like the professional musicians above, we work in concert to weave together many aspects of your promotional message to reach a new harmony of message in order to affordably attract a larger audience to your business.
Marketing Plan

By clearly assessing where you are today, defining where you want to be, mapping out the steps needed to achieve those results, and taking the corresponding actions, you can obtain much stronger results, while avoiding the trap of wasting your money on unscientific guesses.

Beware of “One-Size-Fits-All” Packages
No doubt you’ve received calls from telemarketers trying to sell you their canned, one-size-fits-all packages to build you a website or optimize it for enormous traffic and sales. If not, you’ve probably received mailings about the latest traveling road shows that come though town with their high-presure, dog and pony shows, intended to empty your pockets before leaving town again.
Beware of these shady offers as they rarely provide strong results, and their tactics can even result in getting your website permanently banned by the search engines.
Professional marketing doesn’t come from a one-size-fits-all approach, or even one targetting a specific field. True results come from a personalized plan created in concert between the business owner/manager and a marketing professional who can identify achievable and quantifiable goals, assemble a series of actions to achieve those goals, and implement the plan within budget and on time.
