Welcome!
If you’re a small business owners, you wear a lot of hats:
Founder, Maker, Connector, Supervisor, and Bean Counter. You may also be a Spouse, Parent, or Caregiver.
Despite having the skills to deliver excellent services for your customers or patients, the vast majority of owners (especially healthcare practitioners) feel overwhelmed by Marketing.
Marketing is the art and a science of attracting and serving customer needs. It’s not taught in most professional schools; but when done wrong, incorrect marketing will cause your practice to fail. In fact, inadequate marketing is the #1 reason why small businesses close their doors.
What’s the Answer?
I call it Marketing Strategy.
Most marketing agencies will tell you to use tactics like web design, SEO, blogging, social media, and videos. But without a clear plan, you’re likely to waste your time and money without seeing any meaningful results.
A Marketing Strategy allows you to step back and see the big-picture view of:
- where your business is going,
- what you want to achieve,
- which tactics are working, and
- whether you are moving toward your ultimate goals.
Once you know where you are getting results, you can increase the focus on those tactics and see results almost immediately. Using a Marketing Strategy will make your efforts (and budget) a hundred times more successful.
