A small business owner with 20 years of experience shares two tools to help other shops grow: a $20 video marketing bundle and an ADA-compliant website tool for $10 a month. She's buying local this Small Business Saturday and wants to know what you're supporting.
Shop small, support your local small business owners. If you are one, I hope you have a really good Saturday in your sales. And if you are a consumer, I hope that you consider shopping small businesses and local. And local to me is United States, you know, support the United States economy, even go Smaller and more local, support businesses in your local area. For me, that's Vancouver, Washington, Portland, Oregon, those metro areas, but I do serve the entire United States. So what do we have for supporting small businesses this year? Well, I am offering things that will help you grow your business. So do you want to grow your business next year? Do you want it to be more profitable than it was this year? I've been in business for almost 20 years now, and every year I've grown. So I believe in growing from year to year to year and becoming more and more profitable. Has a lot to do with being more efficient, making sure you have the right people working for you if you have an employees. Um, I personally do not. And making sure that once you're as efficient as you possibly can be, that you are also, um, pricing your services and products in a way that you are profitable. Um, a lot of small businesses make a mistake in the very beginning in thinking that they have to beat everybody and be the, the cheapest person out there. Well, let me tell you, the cheapest person out there is usually not the best person to go with for many, many, many reasons. Um, we don't need to get into, but shop local, shop small. For businesses this year, I am offering a video marketing bundle that will teach you what you need to do to add video into your marketing for next year? If you're not doing it already, then you should be, and there's many reasons why. And if you are doing it, is there ways that you can be a little bit more efficient with it and cut down in production time and all of that stuff? So that's what the Video Marketing Bundle is all about, and you can go to videomarketingbundle.com, uh, and it will go to a page on my site where you can see all the details about that. Particular offer. I will tell you it's only $20. Uh, the website ADA Tools is for adding a suite of tools to your website that gives control of the display to the person actually using your website. So if they need low contrast, they can set it that. If they need high contrast, they can set that. If they want larger images, if they want larger text, if you know, whatever it is that they want, you give them the control. It makes you compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act rules. And it also shows that you care about your customers. You are an inclusive business and that you're also progressive and forward-thinking. So many people are not considering the Americans with Disabilities when they do their marketing, and that's just wrong. So you want to, you want to be doing the right thing, and you want to be a business known for doing the right thing. These suite of tools can be added to most any website. So far, the only system I've come in contact with that it doesn't work on is Wix. Not sure why, but that is the way it is. And, um, yeah, they're $10 a month, or I'll get 2 months free at $100 a year. If you get them this weekend, I can get it added to your site next week. So what are you going to be doing to support small business, um, this Small Business Saturday? I can tell you that I purchased this lovely necklace from Carlia Creations. We love her. I get another very small business jewelry fashion designer, and this little stone here absorbs the EMF that comes off of my computer screen. So what are you gonna do? Put it in the comments. I'd love to see.
