Most business owners have marketing completely backward.
Dead backwards.
I know because I see it every single day – smart people throwing money at dumb strategies hoping something sticks.
Here’s the brutal truth…
Marketing isn’t about being everywhere.
It’s about being in the right place.
At the right time.
With the right message.
(And if you’re like most local businesses, you’re probably missing all three)
But here’s the thing…
It’s not your fault.
Between…
• Local SEO
• Review Management
• Pay-Per-Click Advertising
• Facebook Marketing
• Email Campaigns
• Social Media Management
• Content Creation
• Website Optimization
…it’s enough to make anyone’s head explode.
And you know what makes it worse?
Each of these channels has its own rules.
Its own best practices.
Its own metrics.
Get the sequence wrong and you might as well set your marketing budget on fire.
Which is exactly why Communication & Design created something different…
Something we call “The Marketing Playbook.“
It’s not another cookie-cutter marketing plan…
It’s not some recycled strategy guide…
And it’s definitely not another “guru” promising overnight success…
Instead, it’s a custom roadmap designed specifically for local businesses who want predictable growth.
Here’s what makes it different:
Instead of trying to do everything at once, The Playbook helps you:
• Identify your current marketing strengths (yes, you have them)
• Spot the gaps in your local market (opportunities your competitors are missing)
• Create a step-by-step implementation plan (no guesswork required)
• Focus on activities that actually drive revenue (not just likes and shares)
But here’s the best part…
You get all of this during a completely FREE Playbook Session.
Yes, free.
No strings attached.
No hidden fees.
No bait-and-switch tactics.
Just pure strategy you can use to grow your business.
During your session, you’ll work directly with a consultant who actually understands:
• The unique challenges of local business marketing
• How to stand out in your specific market
• Which digital channels make sense for YOUR business
• Where to focus your marketing budget for maximum impact
• How to build sustainable growth (not just quick wins)
Think about that for a second…
A complete marketing roadmap…
Customized for YOUR business…
At absolutely zero cost.
Now, you might be wondering…
“Why would they give away all this valuable information for free?”
Fair question.
Here’s the deal…
Communication & Design believes in building a stronger local business community.
Period.
Sure, some businesses choose to work with them after seeing the value they provide.
But that’s not the goal of your Playbook Session.
The goal is to give you a clear, actionable strategy you can use to grow your business – whether you implement it yourself or hire us (or someone else) to help.
Here’s exactly what happens during your session:
1. Deep-Dive Analysis
• Review of your current marketing efforts
• Identification of what’s working (and what isn’t)
• Assessment of your market position
2. Market Opportunity Review
• Analysis of your local competition
• Identification of underserved market segments
• Evaluation of potential growth channels
3. Strategic Planning
• Development of your custom action plan
• Prioritization of marketing activities
• Resource allocation recommendations
4. Implementation Roadmap
• Step-by-step execution guide
• Timeline for implementation
• Success metrics and tracking
But there is one catch…
(There’s always a catch, right?)
They only offer a limited number of these sessions each month.
Why?
Because each Marketing Playbook Session requires:
• Extensive preparation
• In-depth research
• Dedicated consultation time
• Custom strategy development
We simply can’t offer these to everyone.
So if you’re serious about growing your local business…
If you’re tired of throwing money at marketing that doesn’t work…
If you want a clear path to predictable growth…
