From our speaking engagements
The field guide from our talk, Marketing and Advertising on a Small Business Budget: pitch clearly, participate locally, collaborate, keep the customers you have, and let design make the message credible.
Know the product or service well enough to sell it anywhere, anytime.
Craft a 30-second elevator pitch. Most adults give a message six to eight seconds of attention, so the first line has to land fast.Show up where customers already gather, give, celebrate and participate.
Host a charity moment, sponsor a team or 5K, leave useful pieces at the library, and learn where your ideal customer spends time.Turn neighboring merchants into a stronger local network.
Share coupons, flyers, links, bundled promotions and events, like boutique crawls that reward people for moving between shops.A strong network is one of the greatest assets a business person can build.
Networking takes time and commitment, but handshakes, street teams and real relationships compound beyond instant gratification.Bring in people who already understand the room, the feed and the neighborhood.
Artists, musicians and socially active employees bring a current perspective and take the stress out of chasing trends.Fresh content, blogs, hashtags and community groups grow recognition naturally.
Coordinate one content system across platforms, join relevant local groups, give useful answers, and do not over-post.Most people are willing to refer when asked; few volunteer on their own.
Create a referral program, keep cards or promos ready, give referrals as well as receive them, and track the revenue they create.Keeping a customer costs less than winning a new one.
Collect permission-based contact details, keep email useful, exchange reviews, and support customers online and in person.Coupons can expand the customer base and bring people back a second time.
Use promo cards carefully, understand the margin, control the offer, and measure ROI instead of discounting blindly.Samples, trials and useful promotional items reduce purchase hesitation.
A free experience, pen, magnet or memorable object keeps the brand present long after the first interaction ends.Professional visuals make the message clearer and the brand easier to believe.
Before posting a confusing promotion, ask a designer for direction. Simple is better; less is more.In the field
We partner with businesses, festivals, events, trade shows, restaurants, clubs and storefronts. It is not always about the money available for marketing. It is about the quality time, effort and relevance the work has for customers and the community.
