Is Your Business Growing as Much as it Could?
Newsletter Service!
An e-newsletter can help develop the customer base of most small businesses.
We noticed however that many business owners are wary of the amount of effort required to regularly produce a newsletter.
For this reason we are pleased to announce our new newsletter service where we take care of the heavy lifting. Have a look!
Word of Mouth Marketing
Word of Mouth Marketing is about creating something interesting about your product or service then making it easy for people to share the news.
Social networking media makes this technique particularly effective for small businesses.

How Do You Know If You Need Marketing Help?
Many businesses are formed by a person who has a particular skill or idea. They have a passion for helping customers meet their needs better than anyone else.
And for awhile that works well, customers are happy and new business comes primarily through referrals.
But one day, the growth slows down or stops and no matter what you try it's hard to get to the next level.
The reason is often because your marketing is non-existent or is not applied properly.
Do any of the following sound familiar to you?
- Marketing is sporadic and unplanned
- Marketing is stagnant – you've always done it that way
- Marketing expenditures and effectiveness are not measured
- Strategies for growth are not clear
- Prospecting for new customers is not effective
- Products and services are not clearly differentiated from competitors
- Existing marketing staff are overwhelmed
- You are too deep in the trenches to see the big picture
Three Ways We Can Help
To achieve business success, you must develop a marketing foundation and use a systematic approach to your marketing. We have found that the Duct Tape Marketing System is a good choice for many small businesses and we can help you apply it in one of three ways:
- Marketing consulting. You would pick this option when you want us to have a deeper involvement with your business. Together we will work to create and implement your marketing plan. Note that even though we will do much of the work for you, we cannot create a successful marketing plan without your active participation.
- We provide the framework, marketing advice and marketing coaching but you do most of the work. In this option we provide you with the Duct Tape Marketing System and arrange regular review sessions to coach you through the development and implementation of your marketing plan.
- Do-it-yourself. We provide you with the tools (marketing CDs and workbooks) so you can do it yourself. This is appropriate for very small companies where budget is severely limited. Group coaching is also an affordable option.
If you already have a marketing system or marketing plan in place, we can also help you troubleshoot specific marketing problems.
Call us at (360) 448-7474 to find out how Market Accelerators can help you.
