What can I do for your business?
Every business or project starts with the seed of an idea.
As roots are established and a business begins to grow, it becomes difficult to maintain control of all the branches of responsibility involved with running an enterprise.
Business planning, marketing, buying, selling, customer service, keeping financial records, completing tax returns, keeping your website and social channels up to date, maintaining your business property (if you have one) – trying to keep on top of all of this can quickly become overwhelming for small business owners.
There comes a point where, if your business is to continue to grow, and even branch out, then specialist outside help will be needed for many of these essential tasks.
Marketing and branding often get pushed down the priority list of many small businesses. Sadly, this is an all too common contributory factor when it comes to fledgling businesses going under.
In today’s hugely competitive global market – and even in small, local markets – the stakes have never been higher. This is why it is crucial to have an excellent marketing strategy that is continually reviewed and updated.
An essential element of this strategy should be to produce high quality print and online copy. After all, for the majority of potential new customers, reading about your business will be their first encounter with your website.
Like it or not, many people will base their decision about whether or not to do business with you on this first impression of your written content.
From SEO-optimised website content and product descriptions, to engaging blog posts and persuasive landing pages, I can build awareness of your brand and drive traffic to your website.
I have been able to help a wide range of clients across several industries to improve their search engine rankings, and I can do the same for you.
I craft highly targeted, impactful copy that will resonate with your intended audience, adapting my writing style skillfully to ensure that your brand’s unique voice is conveyed strongly and effectively.
