Small Business Marketing Made Simple
Build a marketing program that actually works—without the agency price tag or the overwhelm.
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.

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

As the business owner, you play a key role in setting the tone and direction of your marketing program—even if you plan to subcontract the implementation. That includes defining your ideal audience, clarifying your core message, and ensuring your brand reflects the values and personality of your business. You’ll also want to establish clear goals and determine a realistic budget. Without this foundation, even the best marketing tactics can miss the mark. Next Level can help you get organized, clarify your vision, and build a solid plan—so when you’re ready to subcontract the work, your marketing stays on track, on brand, and on budget.
