I've spent my career helping people understand and define their uniqueness -- giving them the tools, the know-how and the creative tangibles they need to stand out from the crowd in many different mediums.Your business strategy starts at the top. If you deliver great product and great service and have happy employees, you will be successful in the long run. If you deliver crap, care only about profits and treat your employees as expendable, your business might profit for a quarter, but will eventually fail. All the best marketing in the world won't keep lipstick on a pig. (So to speak.)Look around and you will see this truth everywhere. A final note. You can dominate your industry segment. You can be different, you can be superior. You can be a winner, you can stand out as a leader in your industry -- if you care to.Social media, content marketing and the opinion of consumers are critical, and the companies providing the best information will win in the search-driven inbound marketing model. Publish relevant, interesting, engaging content that appeals to your target audience, promote it out via social media, and your business will organically and naturally achieve higher search rankings. Your conversions and sales will grow as a result -- even if you still don't think people look for you online. (They do.)You do need to keep up with technical onsite and offsite linking SEO best practices to help ensure you rank for the terms people are using. And traditional marketing will never go away -- cutting through the clutter is more important than ever.Specialties: Branding, strategic marketing, competitive analysis, marketing planning, creative brainstorming, content creation, content management, content re-purposing, blogging, writing, social media and SEO (search engine optimization.)
