About Us
I help my clients increase word-of-mouth referral business.
We combine a new idea and technology with an old idea and technology. As a result, we are often called the "Facebook" of print media. We use "social media" in a micro-targeting approach, and we do it in print form.
Our Mission is Simple: To bring neighbors and businesses together with a positive, relevant and family-friendly monthly magazine that is customized to meet the needs of residents throughout the La Crescenta-Montrose area.

Try to carve out 5-10% of your revenue for marketing --whether its on your website, search, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Direct mail can be effective when trying to reach residential customers, however it can be expensive and most businesses don't do it often enough to make an impression other than being junk mail.
Social channels can also be useful but how often did you do anything other than scroll right past a digital ad or if you did click it was likely a mistake.
Yelp works because that what every person uses to look up a business. They do hold you hostage a bit but you need to have positive yelp reviews.
Make sure your website can capture emails so you can generate regular communication with potential customers.
And then create useful content to fill up those email boxes. How-tos, top 5 reasons to, before/after your services, testimonials, etc.
Print still works too because people still enjoy picking up a paper or magazine. And if you can leverage PR thats free advertising.
Good luck out there!
Hi Michael ~ Thats sort of a loaded question because what works for one business may not work for another.
Before you spend on any advertising, be ready to invest in your business with a quality website. This is the first thing people will see and make judgements about the quality of your work....

Hi Michael ~ Thats sort of a loaded question because what works for one business may not work for another.
Before you spend on any advertising, be ready to invest in your business with a quality website. This is the first thing people will see and make judgements about the quality of your work. Look at Wix.com for ideas.
Make sure your site is optimized for search so people can find you.
Have a email capture so you can build your email list and share the blog posts.
Have positive Yelp reviews.
Ask for referrals.
Hire someone to focus on sales.
Join your local chamber of commerce and work with them to host a mixer, networking event, post to their social pages, etc.
Find local outlets to post your blog posts --how's patch.com by you?
Set a marketing budget, even if its only $50 a month --you can run localized Facebook ads.
Just a few ideas to keep you busy when you're not busy cleaning.
Good luck!

Love the question. I prefer a certified physician. I use a certified financial planner (CFP), not a financial planner. When I need a lawyer I look for a board certified one. To be certified in anything, it implies more knowledge.
