Your Marketing Isn’t Working — and You Don’t Know Why.
You’ve tried the social posts, the ads, the email blasts… but nothing’s really clicking. You’re overwhelmed, frustrated, and out of ideas. It’s not you. You’ve just never been given the full picture — until now.
Feeling frustrated with your marketing? You are not alone.
If you’re a small business owner trying to juggle marketing on top of everything else, you’re probably feeling:
- You’ve pieced together your marketing over time without a real plan
- You’ve worked with freelancers or agencies and still feel stuck
- You’ve spent money — but aren’t sure what it got you
- You’re not even sure what’s working (or if anything is)
- You’re tired of trying to figure it all out on your own
Marketing is a Lot Like Building a House
Building a house is a process – there are specific steps that need to be completed in a specific order to ensure that the house is a solid structure capable of standing up to time, weather, and everyday living. Building a marketing and advertising program for your small business is very similar – there are four distinct steps that need to be taken so that your business stands up over time. The good news is that, unlike building a house, you can go back and fix any of the steps in your marketing program you may have missed along the way without the whole thing falling down!
The elements of building a marketing program are the same as building a house: you start with a good set of plans, lay a solid foundation, erect the framework, and add the finishing touches.
That’s where we come in.
As a small business owner, you don’t have to do all the marketing yourself — but you do need to lead it.
That means defining your ideal audience, clarifying your core message, setting clear goals, and making sure your brand reflects the values and personality of your business. Even if you plan to hire help, these are decisions only you can make.
Without that direction, even the best subcontractor or strategy can miss the mark — wasting time, money, and opportunity.
At Next Level, I help small business owners like you:
- Get organized and focused
- Make confident marketing decisions
- Build a strategy that stays on track, on brand, and on budget
When you’ve made the key decisions — who you’re talking to, what you’re saying, and what success looks like — your subcontractors can do their jobs without guessing. That means fewer revisions, fewer delays, and marketing that actually moves your business forward.
I’m a small business owner who wears many hats in my business. My time is valuable and it’s important that I’m spending it on areas that make sense. In 2016, I was trying to run my own marketing and advertising for my business, and was – quite frankly – failing miserably. My cost per lead was somewhere in the neighborhood of $800-$900. I trusted Laura to help take my business to the next level, and she’s done just that. Not only do I have a solid marketing strategy and the tools to make it work, I now have my cost per lead down to $103. She’s helped my dollars go further, generate higher quality leads, and has made everything clean and uniform across the board. I have never been more satisfied with a business than I am with Laura and her abilities. She’s talked me through many scenarios and given me great advice on so many levels. She’s got the experience to help those who are struggling and those who need an extra boost. I’m sure she’s forgotten more than I will ever know about marketing. She will do just what her company name tells you – take you to the Next Level! Jessica Parmley, Owner – UBuildIt Wichita
