Past Experience:
 
1. Business Strategy – One of my recent clients needed more help understanding how to reach their target customers. The client was not very tech savvy and needed some additional assistance. I were able to provide a marketing strategy that walked the client through how-to's and month-by-month instructions on how to implement an effective marketing strategy, specific to their target customers and their services. Further, my research methodologies have helped several organizations gain new insights into their businesses and customers, leading to better long-term decision making. One project I worked on actually helped a multi-million dollar organization gain insight and visualization into their global supply chain to plan out the next ten years and help them find weak points in their chain to mitigate risks.

2. Digital Advertising – I have helped most of my clients grow their customer base through online ads, email, and content marketing. This is a vastly misunderstood topic by new business owners. Google, Facebook, and others make it appear like setting up ads is easy – but they will often see little actual return on this investment if they do it on their own. For one client recently, I did several Google ad campaigns. This helped us not only perfect their ads (and bring in more potential customers) but also pointed out some large issues with their website which was preventing new customers from engaging with them online. Once I helped fix the website with their provider, not only did the website look better, but the ads began to bring in new leads almost immediately.

3. Data Analytics - For many clients, I provide business analytics with a dashboard, detailing different key performance indicators. These help you see a full picture of how your business is really doing, beyond just cash flow. Using these trends, you can begin to see (over time) what might be warning signs or positive indicators for what will happen in the future. For example, how do Google searches on your business impact customers coming through the door, how do different ads increase sales (or have no impact at all, saving you money). How will walk-in’s impact you over time, and when can you expect less traffic? Which products or services sell more often and which should you remove?
