Maybe You need An I-Strategist!
After having tried just about every possible form of advertising, I've come to the conclusion that most advertising is a waste of money. While there is tremendous value in the name recognition and branding that is built through continual exposure in the marketplace, a deep-pocket advertising budget is not realistic for many small businesses.
When a customer calls to inquire about my services, I always ask the question," How did you hear about us?" Almost always they respond by telling me of something that I was responsible for doing. Perhaps a great event that they attended that I catered, or word of mouth from a co-worker, friend or family member, or through the many i-strategies that I deposit out into the world wide web.
I am an I-Strategist. I love using the extraordinary power of the Internet to spread the word about great solutions and websites. I do this for my own company, Canopy Rose, and I can do it for yours through my other company, Kathi Dameron and Associates.
Need an innovative I-Strategist for your marketing campaign? Let's pow-wow! Kathi Dameron can be reached at 850-539-7750.
