Marketing Goes to the Dogs…and it’s a Darn Good Thing
I am always on the lookout for great examples of marketing. We all know the big guys – Apple, Samsung (who has done an incredible job of parodying Apple lately), Geico, etc.
But there are times when even the big guys could all learn something from creative small business owners.
Case in point: Call Josephine Pet Sitting Services, run by Josephine Liskowski.
But it’s how she markets herself that sets Josephine apart-from not just other dogsitting services, but most businesses.
Take Just a Moment for Marketing
…with our new short video series, Just a Moment for Marketing
In less than 90 seconds, we’ll give you a useful marketing tip or insight. New videos will be posted regularly.
