Seek Professional Marketing AdviceWe have all been there, small businesses trying to cut cost and doing everything ourselves. The harsh truth is ‘you cant work in and for the business effectively”. While you may know your industry, promoting it effectively takes a greater amount of strategy and effort that you may not have the time to for while working on your business. Hire a market-er for small consultation sessions to help you think through your mar-keting or give you ideas on which direction to proceed.
