...the perfect cocktail...

"Tim is the perfect cocktail of positive energy, curiosity, drive and this intuitive cleverness very few people have."

Bjoern Lasse Herrmann, Principal, Super Cool School

6 Small Business Marketing Myths...
BUSTED!

(And we'll bust them even wider apart during the 2-days!)
Myth #1: You need lots of money to do really effective marketing.
bustedicon
A big marketing budget lets you do more things more often. That's great if you've got it. But the world has changed…there's a mountain of marketing ideas that you can do right now to great effect on little or no budget.

Myth #2: You must be creative.
bustedicon
You must be you! You're the business owner; it's your baby. Let your personality and style ooze out from all your marketing. Just be authentic.

Myth #3: Any good marketing idea is expensive.
bustedicon
I host the #1 Marketing Show in Australia (Small Business Big Marketing) and each episode costs me $50 per episode plus 2-hours of my time. It gives me a global audience that runs in to the tens of thousands.

Myth #4: I don't have time for marketing.
bustedicon
Great marketing does not have to involve hours and hours of your precious time. It's all about setting up a marketing system that empowers you to do more, with less.

Myth #5: Marketing is a necessary evil.
bustedicon
If you look at marketing as an expense then YES, it is a necessary evil. I'll show you how to look at it completely differently; so much so that your marketing efforts may well become your greatest ally…an unexpected asset in your business.

Myth #6: I advertise therefore I market.
bustedicon
Advertising is no longer a cornerstone of small business marketing. Whilst advertising is covered in my Intensive, it's from the point of view of why you shouldn't; but if you do advertise then I'll show you what need to do to make it work.

....benefiting my business and me in the long-term...

"As a young small business owner I find Tim's marketing advice a great combination of information and entertainment. He breaks things down to easy-to-understand terms whilst not talking down to his audience. I feel I'm learning lots of quick, useful tips that will end up benefiting my business and me in the long term. Thank-you."

Lindsay, It's A Date Design, Bendigo, Victoria

What the 2-DAY MARKETING INTENSIVE is not?

It's not a talkfest where you hear from speakers trying to sell you stuff.

It's not a marketing workshop where you're burdened by theory that has no relevance in the real world of small business.

It's not for the faint-hearted.

Following 16 successful years in the corporate marketing world, I started my own consulting business, The Ideas Guy, in 2004. I've always had just the right amount of fantastic clients paying me what I believe I'm worth. Even after taking a year off and nearly losing everything as a Property Developer I am back in the game and doing better than ever. 12-months ago I founded the world of Small Business Big Marketing and that too is taking off like a rocket! I'm now ready to share all my marketing secrets with you.
Dear Small Business Owner…

I invite you to join me and 49 other small business owners (just like you) at my SMALL BUSINESS BIG MARKETING 2-DAY INTENSIVE at Melbourne's Caulfield Racecourse.

Exclusively designed for those who want to turbo-charge their marketing efforts, you will discover all the marketing secrets that you wished you'd known way back then! Secrets that get you doing more and better marketing without spending more money.

Making your business irresistible to your prospects is not only possible; it's much easier, cheaper and closer than you think. I absolutely guarantee it.

The thing is, I've designed this Intensive because I'm sick of seeing good, intelligent and enthusiastic small business owners waste time and money on marketing that just isn't producing the results they deserve.

Great marketing shouldn't cost the world…you simply need to know what you're doing and how to do it. And that's exactly what I want to share with you.

Your business is your baby, right? You're proud of it and you want it to look appealing (make that irresistible!) in all the right places as often as possible. If you're like me, then you want a constant flow of enquiry leading to a constant flow of sales.

And you don't want to have to mortgage your home to do so…Right?!

So, let me show you how to turbo-charge your marketing efforts so that every cent and every second you spend promoting your business works.

"Even after 22-years in Marketing Communications I continue to be surprised by how complicated the so-called experts make the concept of getting more customers. I excused it during my 10-years working in Australia's largest advertising agency; but started to get really agitated by it as the Marketing Manager for the country's largest travel agency group. It wasn't until I started my own business six years ago that I realised getting more customers isn't as hard as is made out. Since opening my doors in 2004 I've always had just the right amount of fantastic Clients (you know, the ones you want to work with!)…and most importantly created more than enough income to provide for my beautiful family….even after taking a year off and losing nearly everything as a Property Developer! And there's no reason why you can't too."
