“Why will these creative marketing ideas will help you easily achieve your business goals?”
How do I know these marketing ideas work? These ideas have worked for me. Let me tell you a little story:
One of my first ventures as a small business owner came around the time of the tech bubble burst of the late 1990’s. I was in my mid-20’s and knew nothing of the cyclic nature of markets or industries. Nor did I know much about marketing at the time.
I was, however, good with graphic design and I fancied myself a budding web designer. I lived in Florida and was working a full-time technical support job at a large computer hardware/software distributor.
Though the pay and benefits were good, the job just wasn’t doing it for me. I was answering phones all day and working on technical solutions that didn’t really speak to my creative side.
I realized I could spend the rest of my life in a cube farm and if I ever wanted to move onto bigger, better things, I probably needed to start my own business. “You can’t get rich working for someone else,” I told myself. I took on a business partner and we began building websites on the side, but I felt it was taking too long to build any momentum.
Eventually, I got my chance to become fully self-employed. One of my friends at that computer company was a member of a national car club. Apparently, the club had been disappointed by the first round of proposals to overhaul their website so they were accepting a second round of proposals.
I contacted the club’s Executive Director, figured out why they had been so disappointed, and my business partner and I submitted a full-color, 30-page proposal for a $34,000 website.
“We won the job!”
Fast forward six months. I have moved across the country, the job has been completed, the client is happy and—though we’ve taken on other clients since—my business partner and I have come to the stark realization we needed jobs.
Real jobs. Boo.
“By the time we pulled our heads out of our computers to look for more business, it was too late. All the money was gone.”
It turned out we knew NOTHING about marketing, sales or what it took to stay in business.
Since we were both good with computers, we took jobs at technical training companies. I eventually ended up working in state government. My business partner and I still moonlighted for our company—until he picked up a drug habit. After that, our friendship deteriorated quickly. That autumn, I made one of the toughest decisions of my life: I left the company to him in order to escape a toxic situation.
The cocaine and ecstasy proved to be too much for him. Within two years of my departure, my business partner suffered a massive heart attack. He was only 54 years old.
And the small company we had built? It died with him.
Still, I now had a portfolio of work to show for the effort. I built a website to show off that work and began to slowly rejoin the entrepreneurial world. At the next opportunity, I left the safety of a comfortable state government job to take a sales and marketing position with a small technology firm.
“I knew I needed to get better at business-to-business sales if I was ever to run a successful business.”
While the new job offered flexibility, the company suffered from horrible marketing practices—or lack thereof. Unfortunately, it was a constant battle to convince them to improve. I knew I needed help, so I studied every sales and marketing book, ebook, audio book and video I could get my hands on that year.
While I was with this company, the largest sale I made was a $725,000 contract to create a web-based education tracking system, sold to the State of Michigan.
However, on the first day I would have been eligible to collect my commission on that contract, the company terminated my position! According to my coworkers, I was not the first person they set free prior to a healthy commission payout.
So, there I was: jobless and deeply in debt (but my real estate investments are a whole other story.) I hit the ground running the next day and began working my new web and marketing business full-time (double-time, actually.)
“The marketing ideas in the Ideas Toolkit were born out of this ‘baptism-by-fire’ time of my life.”
- These are the ideas that worked for me. They are tried and found true by myself and by other savvy business owners.
- These are the ideas that planted my company name into the minds of business owners and professionals all across the city and state.
- On many occasions, I have had people say, “Oh yes, I’ve heard of you!”That is EXACTLY what you want to hear. When you begin to see this phenomenon, you’ll know your marketing efforts are paying off, in spades.

Let’s look in detail at what you get:
Book #1: Ideas
(108 pages, ebook)
The Ideas ebook contains 101 great marketing ideas you can begin putting into action today. These ideas will help you build your brand into a local household name. Work these ideas for a year and I GUARANTEE you will be well known in your local community.
“Even if you are starting from scratch with zero marketing experience, you can begin building a strong brand and increasing revenues TODAY.”
Do you know business owners or non-profits (maybe even yourself) who:
- Find themselves muddling their way through their day-to-day business operations, with little hope of increasing their effectiveness or reach compared to last year or the year before?
- Have a weak marketing plan (or no marketing plan?)
- Have run out of fresh ideas to increase memberships or revenues?
- Are frustrated because they just don’t know how to reach more people?
When marketing, one of the primary concerns that boils up is frustration over spending money on the intangible (often the case when results aren’t being tracked!)
Most small business owners either can’t afford to go to an established marketing firm…
OR
…they can’t wrap their minds around spending tens of thousands to have a firm develop a marketing strategy for them.
As a result, the already-insanely-busy small business owner often attempts to take on yet another role in their company—creative marketing director.
Over the years, I have had many small business owners, operators and officers approach me for ideas by which they could market themselves. Often, it was a shoestring budget they were working with. Other times, they were fortunate enough to be pulling from a deep company well.
For the folks with the smaller budgets, I came up with my “One-Hour Power Paper”, where I would charge for a single hour’s worth of putting marketing ideas to paper, tailored to their particular company. This was good, but these papers had a few disadvantages for both the client and myself.
- First, these documents were short; maybe only a few pages, containing twenty top-of-the-brain ideas, at most.
- Second, these ideas were based on my limited knowledge of their company and marketing skill, usually from a couple hours of conversation and some pre- meeting online research.
- Third, I always spent more than an hour on the papers, even though I was only charging for one ($95).
Marketing is not an exact science. In fact, it’s part science, part magic and intuition.
For the science, you study your options, clients, goals, prospects, strengths and competition.
For the magic, you devise the plan, craft the message and direct resources in a particular direction, based on what is now an educated guess.
Finally, you end with more science in studying the ongoing results for further refinement.
Devising the plan is where most organizations get stuck. They need ideas.
This is why I wrote Ideas! In this book, you will find over 100 ideas for marketing your business or non-profit organization. Each idea is organized by category. Subjects include:
- Strategy
- Event Ideas
- Event Promotion
- Networking
- Community Involvement
- Media Relations
- Marketing Collateral
- Atmosphere
- Surveys and Tracking the Return on Your Marketing Dollars
Here are some examples of what you’ll find in Ideas:
What do you want to achieve by improving your marketing?
Do you want to:
- Attract hundreds (even thousands) of visitors, many of whom become new business?
- Qualify prospective customers?
- Nurture, encourage and develop the relationship you already maintain with existing customers, increasing both loyalty and repeat business?
- Command undivided attention?
- “Help” clients away from your competitors?
- Reach your clients with seasonal specials, interesting jewels, etc.?
- Open new markets globally?
If your answer is ‘yes’, you are ready for the Ideas Toolkit.

Book #2: Ideas Online
(ebook)
In my mind, Ideas has one inherent flaw. It’s 100% focused on the “real” world and doesn’t address online marketing via the World Wide Web. Ideas Online addresses this issue. Ideas Online contains:

- Why Google is NOT the only online marketing Holy Grail

- 8 email sins sure to shorten your mailing list
More and more, you are searching for ways to market yourself online. It’s become easier to search for “widgets in my city”—and if you don’t find one in your city, you can easily widen the search to “widgets in my state”. Now try to widen your search with a heavy phone book! How do you begin to differentiate yourselves in the online marketplace?

Fantastic! I’m ready to get my copy of the Ideas Toolkit!
“Warning: I’ve told you a lot about what the Ideas Toolkit is, but I feel I need to also cover what it is NOT…”
-
The Ideas Toolkit won’t do the marketing for you. You MUST be willing to ACT on these ideas! Taking action is a necessary step in the creative process whether you are building a business or creating awareness to further a social cause.
Having an idea is great, but without taking inspired action, that idea remains merely a dream.
-
While you can do many of these great marketing ideas yourself for free, some of these ideas DO cost money to implement. Some cost a little, while some will cost more. Sometimes you need to take on printing costs, buy promotional items, pay a web designer or take on other business-related expenses to help get the word out about yourself.
Investing in building your marketing skills by buying the Ideas Toolkit actually falls into this category!
-
Sometimes it will depend on HOW you implement these ideas. For instance, you can do a live event on a shoestring budget! Or, you can put on a huge event with hundreds of participants.
How crazy you get with these ideas depends upon your priorities, time, team and budget.
-
This is NOT a quick fix, patch or band-aid. Marketing your own business to the world takes time, persistence and guts. Period. It requires commitment to raising the quality of life for your customers, your loved ones and yourself through service to others. If you want a “get rich quick” scheme, there are plenty of other products that will promise to make you an overnight success.
In the immortal words of financial guru, Dave Ramsey: “I don’t sell microwave ovens, I sell crock pots.”
You have arrived here, now, for a reason.
You are reading this for a reason.
It is time to take action.
With the Ideas Toolkit, you have at your fingertips years worth of tried and true marketing ideas, that will—if put to use—reap great rewards for you. The purpose of the Ideas Toolkit is to help business owners and non-profits—from the one-person show to the marketing department—with the magic of marketing: the creative ideas. The Ideas Toolkit has been designed to bring you the wealth of creative solutions myself and others have used successfully and offer them as an alternative to paying large amounts of money to professional marketing firms for the same ideas. Certainly, face-to-face, professional expertise can’t be totally replaced, but it is my intent to place creativity and proven ideas into your hands at a reasonable cost. The Ideas Toolkit offers you a great beginning—a starting point. The Ideas Toolkit offers you a solid foundation of easy-to-follow, step-by-step marketing advice to help you build your strategic marketing plan. Within the Ideas Toolkit you will find real solutions to your marketing mystery. Some are simple, while others are more complex. Some ideas you can implement for free, while others will cost. Regardless of which ideas you use, remember that all of them merit consideration. As a client told me once, “Sometimes, all it takes is one good idea.”
