Marketing Help For Small Businesses
Need help with getting your marketing working?
Perhaps you’re too busy to get around to sorting out your marketing?
After all, running a small business is challenging enough without having to be a marketing wizz too.
And this is where I can help.
I offer “Done For You” freelance marketing services for small businesses and the self-employed.
I can help with things such as:
- Email marketing
- Social media management
- Website design & build
- Marketing automations
- Blog writing
- SEO
- And more…
You see, marketing doesn’t have to be expensive but it does need to get done.
And if you’re struggling to find the time, (or just don’t want to do it), then get in touch.
Email me on karl@smashingselfemployment.com (or fill in the form below) and we’ll arrange a call to chat about how I can help make your marketing work.
