Once you’ve gotten past the jump-start phase in your marketing and have some momentum going, you will need to create an integrated & documented marketing SYSTEM that is customized and specific to your business in order to CATAPULT your business to the next level. In order to assist you in this process, Affordable Business Solutions has the following Duct Tape Marketing programs available:

The Catalyst:

This 4-month long program consists of 8 marketing sessions – 2 each month – with your Duct Tape Marketing Coach. Your coach will GUIDE you through the creation and implementation of the Ultimate Marketing System material and will give you feedback on ideas and materials that you submit throughout the process.

This program is ideal for clients who have 3-5 hours a week to devote in developing their ultimate marketing system and need a coach for expert feedback, guidance and accountability to get through the system.

The Marketing Manager:

This annual program is designed for small & mid-sized businesses who REALLY want to take their business to the next level and know that they can’t do it all themselves. This program includes 2 one-on-one meetings a month with your Authorized Duct Tape Marketing Coach. In addition, rather than just GUIDING you through the Ultimate Marketing System – they will take a more active role in helping you complete the materials. This program also includes a seat in the Marketing EXCELerator program above and everything that is included with it.
This program is ideal for business owners who DO NOT have adequate time to spend each week on the development of their marketing system and value the expertise of a marketing expert to help them get the job done right the first time.

The most exciting element of working with Duct Tape Marketing is the vast amount of change it can bring to a small business. It truly is simple & effective, and if taken seriously, can make a PHENOMENAL DIFFERENCE in a business. Here’s a recent example of Duct Tape Marketing in action:

Company: Kathy's Krackers

Type:
Small raw food restaurant with dreams of distributing and selling their raw flax seed crackers across the entire globe.

Problem:
Lacked direction, sales, credibility and clear point of direction

Solution:
Updated company logo & website
Narrowed focus on ideal clients and found what was important to those clients
Revamped their packaging and entire company image
Created a customized marketing kit to educate stores and toher prospects about their product

Result:
Went from being turned away at stores to an easy sell - "Sure we would love to sell those in our stores"
Dramatically increased sales in less than one year
Increasing distribution point rapidly

"I don't know what we would have done without Troy Braithwaite of AB Solutions as our marketing coach. He introduced us to the Duct Tape Marketing program as we were trying to figure out what we needed to do to grow our business. The program is excellent and fairly simple if you just follow the program step by step. It does take some effort and patience, but it is well worth it. Because of Troy's guidance and help, we were able to launch a more sophisticated website, upgrade our packaging, and create a marketing kit.

I now feel more confident when I approach stores about carrying our product an it is a much easier sell. When you have a nice package and your company info is all put together, it is easeier to sell your services or product.

Thanks again Troy. Because of your expertise and guidance, our business should be around for many years to come!"
