Online Marketing Intro for Small Businesses

Know you need some kind of marketing or communications plan but have no idea where to start? I help small businesses start with a plan and follow through on action. It can start as simple as a brand identity (need business cards?) or an ad campaign, evolving to your web presence and an online "culture creation" strategy. Solving problems through design, communications, and community integration. This is what I do.  Email me through the contact form or call me (541) 490-9621 for a consultation.

Quick Tips

Email marketing is good if you have something worth reading. Don't push your products and your services. Open up a discussion about something of value.  For example, instead of pushing your landscaping business, include a Q&A section or offer information on how to compost leaves in the Fall or when to transplant perennials in your area. Offer value and gain trust with your customer by showing them you're not just pushing products. Then they will look forward to reading your emails versus just clicking the delete button as soon as it comes to their inbox.

Cure for Cancer or will it ever be???

John Kanzius Foundation has brought some innovation to the cancer-curing research world with Radio Waves. That's right, non-invasive targeted radiofrequency cancer treatment destroys cancer cells without the debilitating side effects. Let's hope the FDA doesn't find out. It might actually work and then no one will ever know about it.

Web Design & Communications

Here is a sampling of web design work. I design website interfaces and infrastructures to exceed the highest standards of usability, reflect and foster engaging content, and result in high visibility and traffic. I design sites that complement your content. That said, the success of a well-designed website relies as much on the quality of the content and amount of time a client puts into the site after a redesign.

As part of the site design and launch, I create an entire email marketing strategy for clients: This includes creating a campaign calendar, suggested content, a layout, and detailed to-do lists that help businesses plug-and-play their marketing messages so that they can spend more time running their business efficiently, while also reaching out to customers.
