Practical Marketing Expert Stacy Karacostas Helps Savvy Entrepreneurs take the Stress, Struggle and Confusion out of Growing Their Small Businesses
Most small business owners start a business doing something they know, or something they love. That doesn’t mean they know the first thing about running and growing a successful business.
One of the key areas they often fall short is marketing, because, well, few entrepreneurs study marketing in school and most aren’t ready to learn the skills to do it right. This shortcoming regularly costs people their business.
All too often hopeful entrepreneurs start a business guilty of one of what Stacy Karacostas refers to in her free report on The 7 Deadliest Small Business Marketing Sins (available at http://www.7deadliestsins.com) as “Field of Dreams Syndrome”. They launch their amazing product or service believing, in the immortal words of Kevin Costner, that “If you build it, they will come”. Sadly this works much better in movies than in the real life world of small business.
A recent survey by Murphy Associates, Your Marketing Department cited on the Wisconsin SCORE Website at http://www.scorefoxcities.com/whybusinessesfail.htm, lists the Top Reasons Businesses Fail. And 65% of the time the reason for failure was “Minimizing the importance of promoting the business properly (marketing)”.
A firm believer that “anyone who wants to own a successful small business should be able to…They just might need a little help making their dream a reality”, today Karacostas offers a variety of tools, resources and workshop designed to make marketing easy, profitable, and even fun through her Website SuccessStream.
