“As small business owners, deciding how to market our businesses isn't easy. We need our marketing to work in order to grow. Otherwise, we are just throwing money away. And no one wants to do that. Even worse, many marketing professionals make deciding what to do even harder. I've left too many meetings with a potential marketer feeling a little slimed by sales tactics and way too unclear about how I'd make my money back with their product or service. Joanie Baker with Cornelius Lakeside Living is different, though. From the first time we ever talked, I never felt pressured to make a decision. Better yet, the strategy behind the magazine made sense. Every month, I knew I'd be in front of thousands of customers in the exact area and demographic my painting company serves. It made signing up with Lakeside Living a no brainer. Not only did I make a return on investment, but in Joanie I also gained an advocate for my business. She doesn't just print your ad and run. She has always found ways to support my business however she could. If you're thinking about running a print ad and the target audience of Lakeside Living makes sense for your business, give Joanie a call before you do anything else. You'll be glad you did.”
