Murray Business Owners: Let's Talk Marketing

Key takeaways

  • Spending more money isn't always the answer. Sometimes you need more leads, and sometimes you already have leads and aren't following up with them well.
  • Before you spend more, get clear on where you are, where you want to go, and what's getting in the way. That's why we start by learning your business, customers, goals, sales process, and the numbers that matter.
  • Trellis Marketing calls Murray home, and we've partnered with the Murray-Calloway County Chamber of Commerce to create a marketing resource just for Chamber members at trellismarketing.ai/chamber.

Owning a small business is a lot.

You're taking care of customers, leading employees, watching the numbers, solving problems, and trying to figure out what needs your attention next.

And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you're supposed to figure out marketing too.

  • Is our website doing its job?
  • Should we be posting more on social media?
  • Are we following up with leads?
  • Should we be spending money on Facebook or Google?
  • Is any of this actually working?

We hear these questions from business owners all the time. And as small business owners ourselves, we get it.

Is your marketing actually working?

We Love Doing Business in Murray

Trellis Marketing calls Murray, Kentucky home.

Our office is here. Our team lives here. We run into our clients at Chamber events, restaurants, church, coffee shops, ballgames, and around town.

That's one of the things I love most about doing business in a community like ours.

We also believe that when local businesses grow, our entire community gets stronger.

That's why we're excited to partner with the Murray-Calloway County Chamber of Commerce to create an opportunity specifically for fellow Chamber members.

You May Not Need More Marketing

One of the first things I'll tell a business owner is that spending more money isn't always the answer.

Sometimes you need more leads.

But sometimes you already have leads and aren't following up with them well.

Sometimes Facebook ads make sense. Sometimes they don't.

Sometimes your website needs to be rebuilt. Sometimes changing a few important things can make a big difference.

Before you spend more money, you need to understand where you are, where you want to go, and what's getting in the way.

That's how we approach marketing at Trellis.

We ask a lot of questions.

We want to understand your business, your customers, your goals, your sales process, and the numbers that matter. Then we can start figuring out what marketing actually needs to do to help your business grow.

An Opportunity for Murray-Calloway County Chamber Members

If you're a Chamber member and you've been wondering what you should do next with your marketing, we've created a resource specifically for you.

Maybe you feel good about most of your marketing but know there are a few holes.

Maybe you're spending money and aren't sure what's producing results.

Or maybe your business is ready to grow and you need a plan to help get you there.

We'd love to sit down and talk about it.

No generic marketing plan. No telling you that you need to be on every platform.

Just a conversation about your business, where you're trying to go, and what could help you get there.

Let's Grow Murray Businesses Together

We started Trellis to help business owners grow their businesses. Getting to do that right here in the community we call home is pretty special.

If you're a Murray-Calloway County Chamber member, we'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your business.

Learn more about the Chamber opportunity at trellismarketing.ai/chamber.

And if you see us around Murray, say hello. We'd love to meet you.
