I'm John, 'the low cost marketing expert' - a freelance marketing consultant based in Sutton Coldfield and I specialise in providing low cost marketing services for ambitious small businesses. I provide practical 'hands-on' marketing support with the goal of helping small businesses make a profitable return from traditional marketing, digital marketing, social media, public relations, branding & design and via managing internal & external communications.
I have been specialising in low cost small business marketing since 2007, and my experience means I understand the unique pressures faced by small business owners with running a business. I know that whilst many small businesses value marketing, many don’t have either the time, resource or expertise to implement a constant stream of effective marketing activity. This is where I can help you - at an affordable cost to suit your budget and requirements.
You can outsource your marketing requirements, including planning and execution, to me so I effectively become your company's dedicated marketing consultant, delivering a constant stream of low cost marketing output on a freelance basis via an agreed monthly fee dependant on your marketing objectives and budget.
I can provide you with a low cost marketing service from just £175.00 per month.

What is marketing?
The Chartered Institute of Marketing define marketing as follows: "Marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably".
For me, marketing is a key ingredient in the success of any business no matter how large or small. I believe marketing is about understanding your marketplace, your customer requirements and how your product or service needs to be positioned with both. Once you understand this, you can inform potential, past and current customers about the best product or service for their needs and price expectations through the best channels at the optimal time.
Marketing is also about connections and having an influential network whether this is sector specific or location specific. It is for this reason that I believe working with business organisations such as the The Chambers of Commerce, the Federation of Small Business and sector specific associations and institutes should be an integral part of your marketing mix.
I also offer low cost project based marketing services.
No marketing job is too big or small, you can instruct me to complete project based marketing work such as creating a new website, or on individual pieces of work such as producing a press release. I've listed some project examples with typical prices below.

The secret to achieving effective marketing communications
If someone you knew or perhaps a family member was interested in buying something from you, you wouldn’t use a load of sales and marketing hype on them.
How and when to you use a special offer to increase sales
Special offers should be designed to increase profits and not just volume and need to work for the seller and buyer. Special offers shouldn’t be about reducing the price.
Organic search engine optimisation through good marketing practice
Search engines want to reward authoritative websites and provide relevant search results. I believe high search engine rankings are achieved as a result of good marketing practice.
