Cut to the Chase Marketing offers the full services and expertise of a large marketing firm, but we choose to only work with sole proprietors or businesses with less than 50 employees.

Self-Service Marketing
Need marketing help but you do your own writing/design or layout?
If you’re like some of my resourceful clients, you may write, design or layout out your own marketing materials and websites. I provide "self-serve marketing" to these clients by brainstorming with them...sometimes our sessions help determine the best kinds of tips, articles and pertinent information to be included in their newsletter. Other times, I help my clients figure out the right marketing tool to reach a new audience. Or, my clients rely on me to put the final, finishing touches on their marketing copy so it grabs attention and compels the reader to call or buy. At other times, I act as their off-site or interim marketing manager.

Here's how it works...
We set a time to talk over the phone (this saves $$ because traveling time is eliminated). I’ll ask questions pertaining to your target market and goals for the piece prior to the meeting. If you send me the actual piece, I’ll review it during our meeting from the buyer’s point of view. Then, we’ll work on what you need and you'll walk away with ideas you can implement immediately.

Many consultations take just 30 minutes via telephone. I charge $125/hour with a minimum of 30 minutes the first time we talk (no minimum after that), then in 15 minute increments after that. If you need help with some aspect of your design, writing, or layout, my regular fees apply.

If you prefer to meet in person, I charge a 2-hour minimum of $250 plus one-way traveling time for locations within 30 miles. Additional time is charged in 15 minute increments.
