    Are you worried how you are going to maintain and grow your business
    during the current financial environment?

    You may already be experiencing a downturn and starting to get worried about the future of your business.

    Hello, I’m Annette Welsford from Commonsense Marketing.

    I'd like to help you market your business properly so you're the one that people ring first. This doesn't mean spending a lot of money on advertising. Quite the opposite. It means learning how to attract lots of clients and repeat business on a shoestring budget.

    It's not the best operator who wins the business you know, it's the best marketer - every time.

    Annette Welsford

    One of the first things which many Business Owners do when things are tight is to reduce marketing expenditure.  This is both a good thing and a bad thing to do.

    Sounds contradictory?  Read on and I’ll explain what I mean . . .

    Why You Should Reduce Your Marketing

    • Most small businesses spend marketing money on activities which achieve very little.  Advertising which is poorly crafted, not targeted properly and unmeasurable.  It’s justified as “building my brand”.  “Getting my name out there.”  Promotional items, calendar ads, press ads, even Yellow Pages.

    • If you can’t tell me to the dollar how much revenue each one of these activities brought you, then they’re a total waste of money.  I urge you to save yourself a fortune and cancel these things immediately. 

    There are far more effective strategies you could be using.

    Why You Should Increase Your Marketing

    When times are tough, you need to work smarter to convince people to spend money with you. 

    • Marketing is the only business function which generates income.  Everything else is a cost.  This is the one function you DO NOT cut back on.

    • When times are tough it makes sense to increase your marketing, but not the costs of marketing.  You get smarter with your marketing strategies so they cost less and generate more.

    • You need marketing strategies which get you noticed and make your prospects contact you and take action.

    • You need strategies which are competitive, effective and totally measurable.

    • You may also need to review your business model and find additional or alternative ways to generate income.

    So What Do You Do to Implement Effective Marketing?

    Hire an advertising agency? No.  Too expensive and not a suitable strategy for small business owners.  Advertising is only one component of the marketing mix and you don’t need to pay an agency to do this for you.

    Hire a marketing consultant? Maybe.  This too could be an expensive solution.  You’ll pay for their time and you’ll pay a mark up to them on everything they order for you. You’ll need to find one who is skilled in a wide range of online and offline marketing strategies and understands your marketplace. 

    Hire a web designer?  Maybe.  They’re good at creating pretty websites that function.  But be warned, they could try bamboozle you with recommendations for expensive add on services like SEO, Google Adwords, Search Engine Submissions, CMS sites etc.

    Here’s the Answer to Becoming a Great Marketer. . .

    Learn what to do yourself. 

    I don’t mean go to Uni and get a marketing degree.  I don’t mean embark on months (even years) of study to learn how to put up your own website or design your own brochures.

    I mean get some expert guidance so you can make informed decisions.   Learn from a seasoned marketer with tons of small business experience. 

    Check out my credentials and years of marketing experience and success stories so you feel confident I know what I'm doing.

    Then come back.  I’ve lots more to tell you!

    What I really want to do is teach you what I’ve learned and help you implement it.  I want to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to take full control of your marketing and business success.

    How I Will Help You to Become a Great Marketer

    It’s taken me many years and thousands of dollars to acquire the depth of marketing knowledge I have today.  Don’t worry I’m not going to bore you with everything I’ve ever learned.  Much of it is irrelevant for Small Business.

    What I will do is share the most critical information.

    You’ll learn step by step everything you need to know to be in charge of your business growth. You’ll learn Small Business Marketing essentials like . . .
