How the DIY Marketing Guide for Small Businesses was Born
I have lived in a small city my whole life, not including a 4 year break when I moved to Chicago to attend graphic design school. I have seen many small businesses in my hometown, Danville, IL close. It breaks my heart every time I see another "Going Out of Business" sign because I know there are ways a small business owner can effectively and inexpensively market his or her business, they just don't know how.
Every chance I get I try to help small businesses as well as non-profit organizations market their businesses more effectively but unfortunately the response I normally get is, "I just don't have enough time or money." This response is the worst thing a small business owner can say and if you say it too often your business might end up with a "Going Out of Business Sale" sign soon.
