Nearly half of small business owners handle their own marketing, spending less than two hours a week on it. It’s often not enough to generate leads, increase sales, and grow the business. But the answer isn’t to hire a huge team—businesses can see big results even with a marketing team of one. It’s what JRS Mar/Com focused on during this free webinar that was created to support small business owners. The webinar is called Marketing Team of ONE? We can make it happen.
Originally recorded on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, the ideas pulled from this video are still applicable today.
During this recorded webinar, founder Joe Skibbie of JRS Mar/Com discusses how small business owners can access digital marketing expertise and creative support to create marketing to:
• Increase online leads
• Improve search engine results and rankings
• Boost web traffic
• Increase conversions
• Expand social media reach and engagement
• Win more customers and sales
This webinar can benefit any small-to-medium business owner or marketing staff struggling with the stress of keeping up.
Joe Skibbie has been helping businesses #BeSeen and #BeHeard for close to 20 years. A small business advocate and entrepreneur, he founded JRS Mar/Com in 2009. Over the nearly 15 years since, he has
grown it into a team of digital dynamos offering the full suite of modern marketing services to help businesses grow. Everything JRS does is data-driven, built, and tracked to make the phone ring, the lead forms roll in, and sales grow.
