A proper marketing strategy will increase your scope of potential customers strategically so that you are not just throwing money at different advertising tactics and hoping that something sticks. A marketing strategy for your small business allows you to be surgical and succinct in your approach leading to minimal waste and maximum profit. That is what we do here at Duct Tape Marketing.

Here are some tips on how to find a marketing consultant for your business:
1. Determine your needs and goals: Before beginning your search for a marketing consultant, take some time to figure out what you're looking for and what your goals are for your business. In what areas of your business do you need help? A clear vision of your goals will make the search process more focused and efficient.
2. Research online to see which companies are the most reputable in your industry. Then contact them to see if they offer marketing consulting services.
3. You can also look for independent marketing consultants who work independently and offer their services to businesses. Schedule an introductory meeting to learn more about their background and experience before hiring them.
4. When interviewing potential marketing consultants, ask them about their previous experience and expected results, and make sure they understand your business needs and goals.
The customer journey is the path a customer takes throughout their interaction with your company, product, or service.
The customer journey involves getting your prospects to know about you, then actually like you, and eventually trust you enough to try and buy your product or service. But the journey does not stop there. At that point, you want to keep them as a customer and make them refer you to others. Read our
