Our Services
Who are we?
We are a cost-effective alternative to an “in-house” or “contracted”
Marketing and Product Development group. Our approach is simple and
direct, as we work with you, the business owner or manager to find ways
to better market your product or service. We don’t do a lot of pretty
“Charts & Graphs”. We give direction, ideas, facts, cost-estimates
and simple one-on-one discussions on how you can grow your business, by
getting to know your business. My 20-years of successful business
ownership, Marketing degree, creativity and commonsense is what I base
this business on.
What do we offer?
Ideas on where else you can sell your product or offer your service. What you may need to do to your product or service to become “more
creative than the other guy” who is making the same thing or selling
the same product. We will help you find other “outside” contractors
(one-time or long-term) to help you increase your business, re-work
your sales strategy, “tweak” your manufacturing operation for more
cost-effective output, locate new markets, etc. How do we do it?
First thing is, I don’t wear a tie or suit coat. Not because I don’t want to look “professional” but I’m going to go onto the “shop floor” and see how your equipment runs. I may go on a “delivery-run” or “service call” to see how it is actually done. I’m going to learn your product and service, learn about your competition, and find ways to make your company stand-out against the rest. Whether you want to grow locally, nationally or internationally, we need to find out “How to Do It”, based on costs, risks, investment and other factors. I’m going to talk with you, not at you. What is the cost?
We earn our money the same way you do . . . we work for it. We try to keep our costs reasonable enough that you can maintain our service on a weekly/monthly/quarterly basis, what ever you feel is right. We do not push for long-term contracts, yet we would appreciate an “on-going relationship” with you to assure that your growth, direction and/or improvements are followed-up on, and tweaked if needed. We charge $65/hour for time in your establishment, and $40/hour for time we spend doing the “planning, research and marketing” you want us to do. Price considerations are offered for negotiated/signed-contracts, based on longevity of contract. We bill detailing our time and require 50%-down.
