Hi, I’m Chris! Welcome!
One of the concerns and challenges of small local businesses is to stay at the forefront of their consumers. You need to be online and accessible to those customers who are looking for your business, whether you are a service business or a retail shop.
My Mission at Connecting Local Business is to help you get a presence on the web using tools such as:
- Creating a Marketing Plan and Strategy
- Using Google Business Profile properly
- Embracing social media
- Developing content for sites and newsletters
- Websites built on WordPress or template sites like Squarespace, GoDaddy, Wix, etc.
as well as other methods to connect your business to your consumers.
Think of it as Brick and Mortar to Click and Order! A great way to cover all of your customer’s wants and needs
My background is in small business management. Managing a busy $1m+ per year store along with 12+ employees is not an easy task. However, I excelled at high profitability, low shrink, excellent customer service, and training other business owners.
I worked and managed high-volume customer service departments, and ran my own small business for 20 years while learning and growing my businesses on the internet.
I was in your spot not too long ago!
I needed to grow my business and over the years I learned so much about digital marketing. Today, I share these tips with my clients as we develop and work through marketing plans and strategies specific to your business.
