Book Free Consultation

We offer a free no obligation initial consultation by phone or virtual meeting:

1. Free Marketing Consultation:

Open for any business size or type, these are usually 15-30 minutes in duration by phone or MS Teams (your choice). We research your business in advance of the meeting to assess your visibility and marketing approach.
Topics:
We start by asking about your background and history with this business, to see what brought you to us.
We will ask what is unique about your business, i.e., what makes you proud, or what has made it successful thus far. Or, if it is just an idea, how the idea originated.
We’ll give you our impressions of your existing branding and marketing efforts – this will be based on our online research of your business.
We’ll ask about the issues you may be facing, and the potential your business may have not yet realized.
If relevant, we’ll point you to any cost-free or do-it-yourself solutions that may help you get the answers you need.
If you have specific questions about the viability of a product, business, target market, or proposed marketing strategy, we’ll give you our opinion as best we can, and give you options as to how you could refine or strengthen it.
We will provide initial ideas to best move your business forward.
After the meeting, we will send you a brief summary of key points and relevant links by email, for your records. If you seem to require more assistance than simply this initial consultation, and it seems like something we could provide, we may invite you to participate in a second free consultation, described next.

2. In-depth Marketing Consultation:

After the Free Marketing consultation, we may  invite you to participate in a more in-depth discussion to see how we could assist you. These are usually 60 – 120 minutes in duration*.
This usually covers:
Introducing your core team to ours.
Having an initial exploration of your business situation – competitors, overall growth, issues.
Asking about how you currently handle various aspects of your marketing strategy.
Determining timeline and needs.
Evaluating your goals and expectations.
Chilling out and having a few laughs.
From here, if there seems to be a good fit, we’ll prepare a written proposal at no charge to you. The proposal will outline your needs, our approach, timelines, costs, and case studies from business scenarios most similar to yours.
*Note: we do not offer this service to businesses that compete with our existing clients in any way.
