A very popular marketing strategy among small business owners and individual service providers is the infamous “pin your business card to the bulletin board.” You see them in restaurants and businesses all over the place and in large and small towns….and it’s hard not to look at them! It is a place to network and share your skill, talent, or unique product. And it’s a whole lot cheaper than 30 min ad spots on the local TV station!

But haven’t you ever stood there and thought, “wow, they all look the same!” So your eyes naturally gravitate to the ones with brighter colors, photos or something unique on their card. Here’s a cool twist that some of you may really like - it may be the marketing tool that helps you STAND OUT!

At 1429, we specialize in working with small business owners. We have a system that permits small businesses to build their marketing on a solid foundation! So often, small business owners are overwhelmed by the flood of angles, ideas and strategies that OTHERS push them to pursue…but in reality, it’s YOU, the small business owner who knows your business….most others simply come in and try to sell you something that is good for them, not necessarily for you (commissions often drive sales pitches!) You know your business better than anyone and that’s why instead of juggling the flood of marketing solicitors that walk in your door everyday…take your marketing into YOUR hands!

(OK, now that you’ve heard my cheering for you….you may say, “Yes! …uh….but how?”)

At 1429, we have the most practical small business marketing system there is. And best of all, it’s a affordable. Well, really BEST of all, it puts YOU in charge. Not hit-or-miss marketing. Not a consulting telling you what you need to do. But strategic small business marketing!

We are here to coach you through it. Give us a call: 817-657-4472
