MARTKETING MAKEOVER
Often small businesses can start with one person or a small team of people hustling to get their new project successful. At the start, it is possible to handle everything from making & to sales to marketing and accounting.
As the business becomes more successful, often some of the extra bits (like marketing and your online presence) can become chaotic after thoughts rather than a strategy to bring in business.
If you are in that place, especially after the Pandemic, Heather can work with you to bring in some systems to streamline your marketing. Heather has worked with clients to completely review their entire brand communications - from website to social media - to make sure you are communicating effectively to your clients and bringing in sales.
If you would like to discuss your marketing with Heather, then email heather@heather-brown.com or call 07971423678.
