Scheduling a Small Business Marketing Consultation with HALO Business Advisors

Are you a locally owned and operated small business owner somewhere in America? Do you want to take your business to the next level? Do you want to get more from your marketing and save time? Ask us, we’re here to help you grow your business.

How to Get Our Small Business Marketing Advice

• Team HALO is available to do on-site or telephone consultations with locally owned and operated small businesses across America. Initial consultations are two hours in length and will answer any pressing questions you have and also leave you with a basic marketing strategy and actionable next steps for your business.

• Team HALO frequently visits an entire community for the purpose of educating the locally owned businesses about marketing related topics and/or conducting individual business consultations across a community of businesses. Typically a coordinating group, such as a local Chamber of Commerce, local or regional Main Street organization, economic development group or business network, sponsors or plans a visit like this. In a similar format, we travel on Results Revolution Road Trips quarterly, which allow us to visit several communities and their businesses in a region over the course of a week. These are sponsored trips and include exposure for the community and its businesses via our Results Revolution project. For more information about this opportunity, visit the Results Revolution web site.

• HALO Business Advisors founder Marianna Hayes Chapman is a popular and in-demand conference speaker on small business marketing topics. For more information about her speaking services, click here.

Please contact us for any information about these services. We are willing to answer any and all questions you may have and will entertain a myriad of opportunities if they allow us to accomplish our mission of helping locally owned and operated businesses grow. Don’t hesitate to throw ideas our way via our contact form.

Service & Quality Policy

Our current economy is a more productive one, so it’s time we demand more productivity from our marketing dollars. In a culture where anything less than 100% product quality is unacceptable, traditional marketers often applaud 97% marketing waste. HALO Business Advisors recommends marketing strategies and tactics that maximize customer experiences to create a memorable and remarkable impression.

Tactics that we recommend are investments in your business that create a snowball of growth and development well into the future. Some of the tools we can help you implement expertly include off-line advertising and promotional materials; events and related promotions; social media including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, blogs and more; web marketing including web sites and web-based advertising and promotion, and e-mail marketing.

• We are a take-action, results-oriented marketing firm. We work quickly and effectively to analyze a situation, define a strategy and take action to reduce expenses and increase profits for the owner in a short period of time using smart marketing.

• We maintain open and frequent communication. Communication prevents all types of backtracking and delays.  These problems only cause wasted time and cost money for both parties.

• Our invoices are always itemized and easy to understand. They are always direct reflections of earlier estimates and/or written agreements.

• We never mark-up direct expenses like printing, media or postage. Our competitors do. Plus, we can almost always get great rates that help you save even more!
