Simple, proven, & affordable marketing for small businesses

Coffee for Athletes — Growing With People, Not Expensive Ads A specialty low caff / decaf coffee brand wanted more online orders but didn’t want to burn money on ads. They weren’t sure who their customers were or how to reach them. I helped them build a simple “real people” ambassador system. We found everyday athletes, creators, and locals who loved the product and wanted to share it. No big influencers, nothing fake — just real people talking about something they enjoyed. These efforts brought in 3–4× more value than paid ads and helped the brand grow with honest, low-cost marketing. Why this matters: You don’t always need ads. Sometimes customers are better found through real people.

Men's Health Clinic — Local Neighborhood Targeting A local men's health clinic had great results once people found them — but they struggled to get steady customers. They tried ads, mailers, and social media, but nothing felt consistent. I helped them figure out exactly which neighborhoods were worth focusing on using simple local data and a few clear marketing pieces they could get out fast. They grew revenue by 3× in 60 days because they finally knew where their best customers were hiding. Why this matters: Most small businesses don’t need more marketing — they need to aim it in the right place.

Youth Sports Rental Startup — From Local to Multi-State Growth A small family-run startup was trying to rent out kids’ sports gear but didn’t know how to get the word out. They were doing everything by hand with no clear plan. I created a simple marketing system they could run. We used easy, low-cost ideas like clear flyers, local partnerships, better website wording, and a step-by-step way to reach parents. They grew from one small area to 25 states and passed 5,000 orders in nine months — without wasting money on ads. Why this matters: Even tiny businesses can grow fast with the right plan. You don’t need a big budget — you need clarity.

Retail Beverage Brand — Making In-Store Marketing Work This business was selling in local stores but had no idea what made customers pick their product off the shelf. Sales were flat and they couldn’t tell what was working. I helped them test simple store ideas — shelf tags, product signs, small design tweaks, and better wording that spoke to shoppers. We tracked what worked and removed what didn’t. Their sales in stores grew 17% and kept improving because they finally had a way to see what was helping. Why this matters: Sometimes small changes make the biggest difference. You don’t need fancy ads — you need a message people notice.
