Website Design & Management
"You never get a second chance to make a good first impression."
-Will Rogers
​​
According to research, 91% of shoppers look up a business online before visiting for the first time. Your website has never been more important, because for most consumers, that is where your first impression will be made. Your site should be user-friendly and provide good, up-to-date information. Additionally, it should look professional, which is an entire can of worms in and of itself.
​
I don't claim to be a computer coding whiz by any means, but I've done a lot of web design using Wix (I've also worked some with WordPress) so I can get the job done right for you, whether you need a brand new site, some site management, a design refresh, or SEO improvement on your existing site.

Social Media Management
Social Media’s widespread use and low cost make it one of the best marketing avenues for small businesses. It doesn’t require any expenditure (although spending can help reach your goals), and the potential audience is practically endless. Consider this:
-
About 60% of the world uses social media- including nearly 74% of North America's population
-
68% of consumers follow brands on social media to learn about products and services
-
Younger generations use social media more, enabling your company to build a sustainable consumer base
Social Media marketing is a powerful tool for small businesses when utilized correctly. However, if managed poorly, it can just as easily harm your business's image.

SEO Copywriting
Maybe your website has a blog page. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't. These are all things I'd like to sit down and address with you. In any case, blog or no blog, good copywriting is important for getting found on search engines as well as your image.
​
​Social media, informational sections on your site, and print materials (advertising or otherwise) all should be free from spelling and grammar errors. Nothing can give a consumer the impression of "unprofessional" faster than bad copy. It’s also important to mind your SEO keywords on the site to help attract clicks from search engines.
​
​I have extensive writing experience, including five years as a paid writer for a big Minnesota Twins blog and as an SEO copywriter for another digital marketing agency. Whether you need me to actually write copy or blogs or just need someone to proofread, I'd love to help you out.

Digital Marketing Consulting
For one reason or another, you may decide that you want to keep your marketing and web management in-house and just DIY it. This can be a tough proposition if you don’t have anyone with real experience on your staff, but I can help get you pointed in the right direction.
Contact me for a digital marketing consult, and we can discuss your business, your goals, and what marketing activities would be prudent for you to undertake. My familiarity with different social media platforms and web design features can help you figure out a plan of attack for anything from digital marketing to designing your own website.
Analytics Tracking
Information is a very valuable thing in today's world- just ask Siri (or Alexa, or Google). Social media and your website can provide you with excellent insights if you know how (and have time) to access and interpret the analytics they gather. However, not everybody likes to dig through all those numbers or knows what they mean.
​
I'm a big numbers guy- I graduated with an economics degree and statistics minor. With my services, you will always have the ability to ask me about anything specific with these numbers. I also give you the ability to opt in to monthly reports where all the data is laid out in an easy-to-digest manner and explained concisely so you can learn what consumers are telling you with their clicks.

Print & Merch Design
You might be sensing a theme by this point- maintaining a professional image is key. The same goes for your print materials and merchandise.
​
Professional does not have to mean boring! Consumers love businesses with personality, and I want to help yours shine through. Just like with everything else on this page, the details of writing and design matter when you're going to be putting out printed materials representing your business. My experience can help you put your best foot forward.
