HOW IS MARKETING 101 DIFFERENT?

A. It is actionable. The work is all customized. In addition to marketing strategy we can produce the marketing and advertising products you need - social media, web design, blogs - the entire marketing and advertising spectrum. We will work with you to make this happen and - if you wish - we will train you or a staff member to do the work in-house.

B. It is personal. The focus is on your business, privately with me. The time is hands on and responsive.

C. One-on-one interaction, one-on-one attention, and in-the-moment feedback. The tone is relaxed and informal. Entrepreneurship can be solitary. Here is a support system.

HOW WILL WE WORK TOGETHER?

Your time will be focused. Every session will be one-on-one - your business entity only - start up to growing up. The session and work will be straightforward and productive - defining your goals, then working on effective solutions. Nothing generic. You will move forward at your pace - whether that is moving slowly and considering all options or full speed ahead, blazing fast - we are there for you.

ONLINE OR IN PERSON?

Either. Or a mix. Most clients find the Zoom format comfortable. Or we can meet in person in the West Los Angeles area. Or we can vary our time together.

Every meeting is private. The focus is on actionable results for your business. You can get started with a free consultation to help you think it all through.

If you are new to Zoom - most clients find it comfortable to use and we can help you set it up. You'll need an email account, a computer with a camera and a microphone, or a laptop. Most laptops have these features. Working by phone is fine as well.

HOW DO I BEGIN WORKING WITH MARKETING 101:THE ESSENTIALS?

HOW DO YOU DO THIS? WHO WILL I BE WORKING WITH?

You will be working with me, Val. You will get my expertise and experience. I am your Marketing Director of the moment. We take a limited number of clients. I work with you and your business directly. And we will train you before we step away so you are comfortable with your new marking and advertising.

With that said, there is a team. It is more effective and cost efficient to work with experts on a short-term basis - creative, analytical or administrative. Using the just-right person is the most cost effective and efficient way to work. As long as you are a client, I will be heading up the mix. And when you are ready to fly solo, I'll be there as long as you wish.

My focus is on results and a mandate to “spend money where it counts.”

TALK TO ME ABOUT FEES, PLEASE

You may invest in a pre-organized program listed earlier or we will create a custom package for you. Another option is working project- by-project or simply on an hourly basis. In any event, you will know your costs up front. We have a policy and a history of absolutely coming in on budget.

Two things - we are speedy - one way to keep costs down. We are efficient. You will spend less by working with a pro than you would waste on one poorly conceived media committment. Check out the “Work With Us” section for pricing guidelines and alternatives.
