Are you a local business owner or leader of an organisation? If so, how do you consistently find new customers, supporters or members? Do you need help with marketing to promote your business and create a devoted following who keep coming back for more?I use a developmental approach to marketing using stories, drawing on over thirty years’ experience in economic regeneration, community planning, strategic management and participatory methods. These days local marketing can be supported online to even greater effect using websites, social media, mobile phones, emails and others.I guide you through the pitfalls and help you build your own strategies based on your business narrative, using approaches like referral marketing, networking, product development and launches. I help you work out your strategy, the resources you need and how to get them. Local businesses and organisations need the most economic approaches and so I am mindful of the constraints on your resources.Try me out with Telling Stories: Making Business. We meet on second and fourth Thursday lunchtimes. You are welcome to come along, hear a business person tell their story and offer them feedback. Or you can sign up as storyteller. This is a great opportunity to sample my work and the fee is only £5!
