Woo Hoo! You’ve Joined The Chamber Of Commerce To Promote Your Biz. So, Now What?
Sure. Belonging to a local networking group helps you practice your Billy Mays elevator pitch. You can run the customary small business ads, spending $100 here and $200 there in your local coupon clipper and public school newsletters. That’s until you don’t get the response you were hoping for off the 3rd ad. Or your non-existent advertising budget runs dry. Great. But what about really making your business shine and your brand stand out? What about really connecting with your clients and prospects through social media? After all, it’s free. And if you haven’t put this marketing tool to work yet, you’re not reaching every possible prospect out there.
Seriously. Ambitious business people have joined the two way conversation on Twitter and Facebook. They know it’s not about a one way ad or a brand anymore. It’s about talking to your customers in an informal, informative way. It’s about sharing information with them that’s helpful so they’ll remember you when they need your service. Yes, you could be marketing your business more cost and time effectively with today’s FREE social media tools. And getting more results in the long run.
So, why haven’t you started? Is your business idea not all that different than the guy’s next door? Do you not enjoy writing? Is it hard to find time to commit to a social media plan? And yet, you feel it’s all up to you even though you don’t really have a professional or creative marketing background? C’mon be honest with yourself. If you haven’t worked for an ad agency as a copywriter, art director or account person, or, as an in-house marketing or communications person, you don’t have professional advertising experience. I do. I started Peace of the Pie because I believe small businesses should have access to the same professional and creative advertising that big companies do, therefore giving them the ‘piece’ or amount of business that they deserve. And the “peace of mind” that comes with succeeding in the marketplace.
I have 15+ years experience as an advertising copywriter–writing tv, radio and print for national, regional, small business and business to business clientele. 25+ years marketing experience including 2 years in P.R and social media. So how does that translate to your needs. Well, for example, my current employer has received TV, newspaper, online and business partnership publicity through a goodwill program in its second year I created for them. I know how to come up with “the big idea” and make the word spread.
I love to help small businesses. I can show you how to do it yourself or do it for you. It could be a consultation for only a few hours. I could work with you on a project basis or a few hours a week if need be. Let me know your budget and where you think you could use help. Free consultation if you buy me a Starbucks. Then, I’ll you give you a proposal. Whatever you need. It doesn’t have to be complicated. You just have to be committed to your business and know that expert marketing help will make a difference.
