Small business marketing doesn't require a degree or high-priced ad agency. You can learn the basics to do it yourself. Write a simple marketing plan. Get free publicity with a press release. Create a newspaper ad.

Hiring an ad agency has its benefits, if you're fortunate to have the resources to do so. If you don't, like many small business owners, this site can help. It provides free small business marketing advice on a variety of topics -- from marketing online to writing sales letters to improving employee communication.

On this site, you won't find advanced marketing theory. My intent isn't to make you into a marketing guru. What you will find are practical, everyday solutions you can use to grow your small business.

Can yours speak knowledgeably about your company, products and special promotions? If not, a first step is to improve employee communications. find out more
