Get real-world, hands-on training from veteran small business entrepreneurs
with 25 years of professional marketing experience and expertise.
The 90-Minute Branding & Marketing Plan Workshops were designed and taught by veteran entrepreneurs and created especially for new and established small businesses.
 These are fast-paced, hands-on workshops include a 20 page work book and action plan and deliver results in under two hours.
Our goal is to provide participants with easy to use tools and strategies that can be put to work the minute you get back to the office, the cafe, the print shop...any business.
 We Respect Your Time...
Most small businesses owners don't have the staff or time to go to the "city" for a day-long seminar. That's why our workshops are 2-hours maximum and, when possible, offer both a morning and afternoon session.
We Make It affordable...
Thanks to support from our Partners, most workshops cost $49 per participant and include a 20-page workbook and you leave with an action plan you can put to work immediately.
What types of small business and non-profit organizations should attend?
All types; retail, independent agents, professional services, art galleries, any business that wants to increase sales!
Who should attend?
Business owners, office, sales and advertising managers, non-profit organization executive directors, board members, staff and volunteers. Anyone who has contact with your customers.
